There are literally thousands of affiliate programs you can join to find affiliate products you can sell on your blog or website. Let’s look at how to find an affiliate product that best suits your site.

You will never be short of affiliate products however one of the most important things is to remember to only promote products that you would generally buy yourself.

Believing in the product or service you are promoting make a HUGE difference in your conversions. It will be blindingly obvious in the way you write about a certain product or service whether you believe in it or not.

Ultimately, if you believe in your affiliate product, your customers will believe. Simple as that!

The other thing you need to consider when choosing an affiliate product or service is to look at the reward you get when you make a sale. If the product is $50 and you as the affiliate are only given a $2 commission for a sale, i would be asking why. On the other hand, if this product is the latest and greatest gadget that every kid in the ENTIRE world simply MUST have and you will probably sell a few hundred every day, then there is no time to ask ANY questions – sell sell sell!

Plainly put, look at how much effort is involved in selling the affiliate product verses how much reward you will receive.

So now we know WHAT to look for in an affiliate product, let’s now look at how to find an affiliate product.

As I said earlier, there are thousands of affiliate programs out there you could join and browse through looking for the perfect affiliate product or service. If you have the time to do this, then by all means go for it! However if you are a little time poor (and who isn’t) start with two of the best affiliate program sites:

Commision Monster

ClickBank

ClickBank has mostly digital product like e-books and covers a wide variety of topics where as Commision Monster has products and services for every topic you can think of.

You will need to set up an account to browse through these sites and sometimes they will ask for your URL before allowing you to join. If you don’t yet have a website or blog, you can set yourself up a squidoo lens which is fast and effective and will give you your own personal URL to use for this purpose.

The other way you can look for affiliate programs is simply do a search for other websites related to your niche that have their own product or service. Some will have affiliate programs promoted on their site, where as other may not. So if you do come across a product and you can’t see anywhere on their site about an affiliate program, contact them! They may just have one.

An example of this would be Business Academy Online’s Affiliate program. We are not on Commision Monster however have an army of affiliates promoting our Program Business Academy Online.
