As all successful affiliates
know, the most important part of the marketing process is sourcing
products with high selling potential. Without products people
actually want to buy, no amount of marketing will compensate the
affiliate for time, money and effort expended in their business.
These tips will help you choose quality products
 with
high selling potential generating good commissions for you:
#1
Go for goods and services that interest you as a buyer or
enthusiast. It’s a well-known fact that selling products and
services for which you are an actual or potential customer yourself,
benefits you as a seller, both increasing your own enthusiasm in the
product as well as helping you pass that enthusiasm to others.
#2 Go for high commission items over items of similar quality
with lower rewards. That's because it's just as easy to sell a high
priced item as something costing just a few pounds.
#3 Go for unusual or highly specialised items where you
effectively become one of a handful of sellers worldwide.
#4 Choose niche markets over general markets. Niche markets
are those where buyers and sellers share closely defined interests,
such as entering consumer competitions, collecting antique teddy
bears, buying business opportunity books, and so on. General
markets, on the other hand, are those where potential buyers share
numerous interests, say good food and drink, holidays abroad,
selecting Christmas gifts for family and friends.
Niche markets, by their very nature, comprise people known to be one
hundred per cent interested in most products and services related to
their shared interest.
They can be reached easily and at little expense, via specialist
magazines and newsgroups, emailing lists, and such, unlike a general
interest audience with members dotted here, there, everywhere, and
requiring a lot of time, effort and money to reach.
#5 Choose products with repeat commissions and back-end sales
potential. So, acquiring a customer can mean selling to that person
many times over the years.
#6 Check that products and services are legal and acceptable
in all your target areas. For example, gambling and alcohol illegal
in some countries, and advertising is subject to more stringent
rules and regulations in some parts of the world, and so on. So
advertising material which is entirely suited to say, the American
market, might well be banned in another country, or vice versa.
#7 Choose generous commissions over token rewards, especially
where products are also in high-demand.
#8 Look for products that can be combined and marketed on one
site. Here you can attract a massive audience of potential buyers
for several, usually related products.
