Affiliate Model

If you remember from an earlier post, I recommend starting with products that you know and love.

After you have successfully sold products that you have used, then you should look for other products in your niche. There are many ways to find affiliate products in your niche.

1. Do a search with the name of your niche plus the term ‘affiliate.’ This should bring up several affiliate programs.

2. Search the Clickbank marketplace for products in your niche. If you aren’t familiar with Clickbank, Stephen Pierce has a nice guide that will walk your through all the steps. The Clickbank Guide

3. Allen Gardyne’s site, www.AssociatePrograms.com is a great source for affiliate programs as well as general affiliate information.

4. www.AffiliatePrograms.com provides a list of affiliate programs.

5. Commission Junction, Link Share, and numerous others provide a variety of affiliate programs but if you are new and just starting out, Clickbank is the best place to start.

BOTTOM LINE: Look for the best commission possible.

The commission may be a dollar figure or a percentage. Always look at the cost of the product to determine how much you will make for each sale.

You also want to know how long your cookies are valid and what protection the program offers against click fraud. Look at how much you need to make before the program will send you a check. How does the affiliate program pay? Is it by check, money order, or paypal.

You also need to consider how difficult and costly will it be to promote this product. What is the conversion rate of the product?

Wanting you to succeed,

Linda
