Picking a Product to Promote
I hope that you’ve went to my past post about joining an affiliate program and created accounts in those programs. Now what do you promote? Well, what do you like that they offer?
Do not be encouraged more by how much they pay but by how well you want to promote it and how well you know the product. Do not promote something that you don’t believe is good for others. If you’ve purchased something before and you really like it, why not give that a try? MP3 player? TV? How about a spyware remover or an helpful e-book? Pick an area where you have some knowledge in.
Now go to Google, Yahoo, MSN or any other search engine and type in your area of choice. If it’s mp3 player, type it and see what kind of links and ads come up. You want to find an area where there is less competition than others. If you did choose mp3 player chances are there are thousands of other individuals promoting an ipod or a zune.
How about narrowing it down a bit? If you chose an mp3 player or a TV, type in the model number as well in the search engine. The results should have thinned out. Be razor sharp about what you want to promote and this will help later as I will show.
