Step 2: Find Hot Products to Promote

Now that you have chosen a profitable market, you need to learn how to find good affiliate products to promote.

Here’s what to look for in a good affiliate program:

• High commission (50% – 75%)

• High converting sales letter

• Quality product that you would want to buy

• Proven marketing tools (email ads, graphics, etc.)

• No cost to join

Promote Digital Products

I highly recommend that you only promote digital products such as information and software. Digital products are available for instant download so there is very little overhead and profit margins are much higher than they are with hard goods.

That’s why merchant’s who sell digital products pay higher commissions. In fact, there are thousands of programs online that will pay you 50% - 75% commission and it costs you nothing to join as an affiliate.

Look for a Salesletter that Converts

Having said that, not all digital products will make you money just because they pay high commissions. You need a program with a salesletter that converts visitors into buyers.

So how do you know if a salesletter will convert?

The obvious answer is to read the entire salesletter. If you’re convinced that the product is worth buying, that’s a pretty good sign that others will buy it too.

For example, Affiliate Cash Secrets™ has a great salesletter! And if you promote it, you are very likely to make a lot of money…especially since I pay 100% commission on every sale.

I provide lots of promotion tools for my affiliates including solo ads, graphics, classified ads, and a PDF report that you can brand and give away to your subscribers.

If you study my salesletter and how my affiliate program is set up, it will be easier for you to spot other programs that will make you money too.

The ClickBank Marketplace

The best place to start your search is in the ClickBank Marketplace. There are over 11,000 information products to promote in dozens of markets and most pay 50-75% commission per sale.

Choose one of the main categories from the dropdown on the left. Next, select a subcategory from the dropdown on the right. Show 20 results per page and sort by popularity. Choose one of the subcategories as your target market. Click “Go.”

Next, look for products in the $27 - $97 range that pay 50% - 75% commission. A good info product in this price range is easy to sell. Visit each website and study their marketing. If you’re impressed, add it to your product portfolio.
