5 Quick Tips For Finding Affiliate Products That Sell
1. Identify Hot & Trending Products In Your Niche
We tell students in Commission Academy course to pick an affiliate marketing niche topic based on what they’re passionate about and interested in.
Why?
Because that way, you’ll have your finger on the pulse when it comes to new and current trends that are happening and you can take advantage of those when it comes to creating content and promoting products.
2. Don’t Overlook The Basics
If you’re in the fishing niche, fishing rods are going to be your bread and butter.
If you’re in the golf niche, you’ll make the majority of commissions promoting golf balls, clubs and caddies.
You’ll make more sales when you figure out what your audience needs and wants and give it to them!
3. Target Buyer-Intent Keywords In Your Content
Whether you’re promoting products on your blog or YouTube channel, understand search intent, target buyer intent keywords in your content and you’ll never have to “sell” anything.
You’ll simply be catching people at the end of the customer buying cycle and recommending products in a natural way, giving people what they want and the sales will automatically follow.
In a nutshell, you’ve got 4 types of search intent:
- Informational
- Navigation
- Commercial
- Transactional
As an affiliate, focus on commercial and transactional search intent.
Keywords like:
- Best running shoes for under $100
- Buy an electric shaver
- Where to buy weightlifting straps
- Cheapest hotels in Paris
So use a keyword tool like this one to come up with a list of 20-30 commercial and transaction keywords you can target in your upcoming content to drive sales.
4. Promote Products You Personally Use To Increase Conversions
Look around your house and see what products you’re using and promote them.
You already know a lot about these products and clearly, you believe in them (otherwise you wouldn’t have bought them).
This is going to help you generate more clicks and sales because you’ll be able to share your personal experience of the product, point out the real-life benefits and craft compelling product reviews.
5. Find Affiliate Marketing Products With Recurring Commissions
Every niche has them.
You’ll increase how much you can earn when you promote products that get you paid not just once, but over and over again.
So find affiliate marketing products where people pay monthly or yearly.
Things like:
- Subscription boxes
- Web hosting
- Membership sites
- Online courses
Check out this list of recurring affiliate programs to get the ideas rolling.
