How To Choose The Right Niche Product To Sell

Picking the right product to promote is the key to affiliate marketing success. There are millions of affiliate products out around, but not all of them will make you money. Some products are terrible and don’t work right at all. Another product might be very good, but its landing page leaves something to desired so it is not making any sales. To make money as an affiliate marketing, you need to find a product that’s proven to make money for its affiliates. Why sell something that nobody is buying?

To find that right product to promote, we’re going to use the Clickbank affiliate network. While there are many good affiliate networks out there, Clickbank is one of the best for beginners. They have a large selection of digital products to sell, they always send your checks on time, and it is easy to get accepted into the network. Unlike other networks that make you apply to promote a certain offer, Clickbank lets you promote all offers on their network right away.

Your first step when choosing a product to promote, is to think about a niche. The best way to do this is to brainstorm on a piece of paper 5-10 niches you think you would be interested in. When promoting a product, you will be doing a lot of research and writing about it, so make sure the topics you write down aren’t something that will bore you to death.

Once you have your topics, go login to your Clickbank account and visit the Marketplace section. Clickbank has its products divided into categories, so choose an appropriate category and do a search for each of your topics. In the results, you will see a list of affiliate products that best match your search term. Below each product description, you will see a number of different metrics.

The most important metric to look at, is the gravity score. Gravity basically shows you how many affiliates have made sales with this product recently. If many people are making sales with this product then this says you can probably do well selling this product as well. As a rule of thumb, try and pick a product with a gravity score over 50. The other metric to look at is the dollars per sale. If you are going to use pay per click marketing to drive traffic to your product, then pick a payout greater than $25 per sale. This allows you to cover your advertising expenses and still make a decent profit.

Using the two metrics talked about above, write down the products that meet these criteria. Now pick the one that you would be most interested in learning about and promoting. You already know that other affiliates are having success making money with these products, so the key here is picking the product that will keep your interest so you can promote it successfully. This is the first step to becoming a successful affiliate marketer.
