| We have examined in a previous article how to find a Marketing Niche to target for your Affiliate Marketing promotions.The next step is to find top Affiliate marketing programs in your chosen niche.We start our search by looking into Affiliate Marketing networks which are important links between vendors and affiliates. There also single companies which offer successful affiliate marketing programs, but it is usually easier to find profitable programs by searching the affiliate marketing networks.We examine especially Clickbank affiliate programs because Clickbank is currently the most known Affiliate Marketing Network, but you could extend your search to other important marketing networks such as Amazon, Click2Sell, CJ, Plimus, Tradedoubler and PayDotCom. Sometimes it is useful to add to a main information product also some related pysical products such as Amazon books.Some networks such as Tradedoubler offer mainly physical products, whereas other ones such as Clickbank and PayDotCom offer information and digital products. The commission percentage is usually higher for the info and digital products (up to 75%), but some Affiliates have good success and profits also with physical products.We look below especially for Clickbank Affiliate products and we suggest following steps:a) Access the Marketplace option. You will be able to see a list of categories such as Arts, Business/Investing, Computers/Internet and many others. Select a suitable category for your chosen niche and interests and you will see a list of products which you can promote as an affiliate.b) For each product you will see a short description, useful statistics and links such as the product pitch page, the vendor spotlight and a promote button which allows you to get your hoplink for the promotion of the affiliate product.d) Among the statistics you should especially consider the $/sale which is the commission amount that you will receive for each affiliate sale, Future $ is the average amount that an affiliate will make for recurring billing products, % sale is the commission rate of the product, %refd is the percentage of sales referred by affiliates and the gravity which is a number which represents the average number of different affiliates who received a commission for this product is the past 8 weeks. Very popular products have usually a high gravity, but this is also an indication that there are many competing affiliates and this could make your sales more difficult.The above data should be allow you to single out good candidate products such as higher paying affiliate marketing programs and possibly affiliate programs which offer future recurring commissions and which have many affiliate sales. Once you have your initial list of the best affiliate marketing products you can find additional useful formation by using other tools such as those of cb-analytics.com.As a final point, I would advice you to try to keep focus. The promotion of each product that you choose will require time and efforts and normally results do not appear immediately. You should try to avoid selecting too many products and keep instead your focus and your promotion efforts on a manageable number of products.Mario Pesce is a Computer consultant who has become very interested on the Internet. |
