How To Make Money With Affiliate Marketing - The Abc's Of Choosing Great Affiliate Products

By Steve Billesberger


One of the best ways to earn an income online is learning how to make money with affiliate marketing. For some Internet Marketers it is their sole source of income. Other people simply do it for extra income - "fun" money so to speak. Making money with affiliate products is possible for most people, and choosing an appropriate one is the first step.

There are, however, a very large number of affiliate products to choose from, and it's important to select the best ones. You may be wondering how to go about the selection process. Below are some reliable ways to discern which affiliate products would be best for you to focus on.

One of the first places to start looking for affiliate products is to think about products that you like as this will prove to be the easiest to sell. Next you want to look for products that will pay out 100% commissions perferably but nothing under 75%. The higher the commission payout the less product you need to sell to make a decent dollar.

Of course you only want to deal with those product creators who are worthwhile and create quality products. If you're choosing a smaller product that was created independently, however, this is a little bit trickier. You want to choose a product from a merchant who will respond to your questions and who will address any concerns that pop up regarding both the product itself and the affiliate process. There are tons of people who will never respond to your emails, and they are the ones to avoid all the time.

Like I mentioned earlier the products you use or have used before make excellent candidates for you to sell. This is an approach best suited to products that are part of your daily routine. Skin care products you already use, brands you already wear, books you already read, etc. Your familiarity with the product will make your life much easier when you need to discuss it with someone else, which is critical because that is how things are sold. A buyer will trust you more if they know you are using the product you are trying to sell them. Trust is the cornerstone of any sales based business!

Another tip is to try and find a product with a recurring commission or a lifetime commission. If you really want to learn how to make money with affiliate marketing then subscriptions can be very profitable such as hosting and other kinds available on the net. You can easily see the power in this if you are able to successfully promote a program like this. No matter what kind of affiliate product you promote, you will have to work hard at it because that's just the way it is. Just accept the fact that you must put the hard effort and time and dedication to make this work.

If you want the greatest chance of making money with affiliate products, then learn how to choose them well. Some products are definitely better than others and there are lots of things that go into figuring out which is which. What you have read in this article is just a tiny preview, and there is a lot more you must learn.
