To be a
successful marketer, you need to choose and promote the right product.
Fifty percent more bloggers fail to get results from affiliate programs,
actually because they fail to choose the right product to promote.Well, before I had written tips on choosing the right affiliate program, now turn the tips on how to choose the most suitable product for your blog.
Successful running affiliate marketing is not easy, but actually not too difficult. You just need persistence, consistency and the right marketing plan for success in affiliates. Like, for example, what products are selected and how you use them to promote them.
I always choose products that I use everyday, then write tutorials, guides, or reviews to help marketing the product
And here are tips on choosing the right affiliate products for you to market through your blog :
Start from the affiliate marketplace
The best place to start hunting for affiliate products is to go to the marketplace, such as ClickBank, Commission Juction, and ShareASale. For the local market you can go to Ratakan, which provides quite a lot of good products that you can choose.
Next, depending on the niche blog, you can choose which product you want to promote. The selection process can start with the highest-paying affiliate product in the marketplace. Only then continue with other factors, as I will say at the end of the article.
Join affiliate programs separately
Almost all online products have their own affiliate programs, such as web-hosting providers and so on.
Well, you stay looking for products that match the topic of your blog. For example, suppose your blog is about a pet cat, you can look for affiliate products in the form of cat food or pet care kit.
Once you find the desired product, usually on their website listed the link 'Affiliate Program'. From there you can then join.
Alternatively, you can easily search through Google with the keyword: "site: domain.com affiliate" or "product name + affiliate". This is indeed a manual way, but it often works well, especially when you are looking for affiliate products for a relatively rare topic of having an affiliate product.
In conclusion, choose a product that matches the topic and readers of your blog. Suppose, for example, that you write about health, then what you need to promote is health products as well. I suggest to choose the best selling product in your niche, then write about it. That will help improve the conversion rate a lot.
The difference between successful and unsuccessful affiliate marketers is determined by the value of this conversion. If you manage to get 100 clicks against your affiliate campaign, but get 0 - 1 sales, then you review your marketing strategy.
Lastly, and this is something that is very important in choosing an affiliate product: try it yourself before you recommend it. This is the most common mistake many bloggers make.
I see a lot of bloggers referencing a product without ever trying it myself, and I strongly advise you not to go along with it. The truth is, first try a particular service or product, then write a review about it based on personal experience. An honest review, as it is, will increase your credibility and trust from the reader, in addition of course: a high conversion rate.
If you are not able to use it fully, for online services, apps and the like, you may try a trial period, then you can reference it.
For physical products, if possible ask product samples to the owner of the product, say you want to review it on your blog and interested to participate in marketing it. With a little luck, it is possible you will receive a free product to test.
Lastly, and this is the best thing to do, buy the service or product you want to market, try it for yourself, then with a voice of honesty, you refer to the reader.
Additional tips, when you sign up for an affiliate program, note also the following factors:
- Available banners
- Other promotional materials
- Control the affiliate panel
- Payment method
- Minimum payment, and so on
These factors are also important to be considered. Put your word on selecting proven products in your niche, but with a minimum payment of $ 1,000. Do you still want to follow it? If I would think 10 times before.
Affiliating with reputable and big name brands will help you market an affiliate product.
