How do you pick products to promote?

Pick the products with medium to high gravity, something that on the first page of google doesn`t have that big of a competition.. this is what I`m doing and it works..

and medium to high gravity is 50 to 100?

what sort of keywords you target? "product x review" . product x scam ?

Best advice you may read today: Don't first search for a product to promote. Instead, search for a market that has a NEED and then get the product that satisfies the need. If you search for product then start looking for a market, you are in for a frustrating ride.

That's subjective, really. To me, over 50 is enormously, off-puttingly high.

In all my 9 separate niches, over all the years I've been promoting ClickBank products as an affiliate, all my best-sellers and best-converters have had single-figure gravities. And that isn't just a coincidence.

Not for myself - I wouldn't dream of targeting any product-related keywords at all. It seems to me that one of the many great advantages of being affiliate marketers (rather than product vendors) is that we can build up a genuinely asset-based business (our assets are primarily our lists, and secondarily our sites) without being dependent on the continued success, availability and continuity of any specific, individual product at all. We have complete flexibility. It makes little sense to give up that advantage without a very compelling reason. Targeting product-related keywords does give up some of that advantage. You don't know whether that product will still even be for sale in a year's time, and you can't control it. In my opinion, affiliate marketers' websites should be for niches, not for products.

(Above all, if looking at ClickBank, keep away from products in IM and MMO niches, because many of their target customers are ClickBank affiliates themselves, and of course they'll buy - if at all - through their own hoplink, which is allowed, and not through yours, so you often won't get paid for your successful sales, that way! You knew this already, and I'm mentioning it here only for anyone else reading the thread, who might not have worked it out).

ClickBank:

Step 1: Find products with similar gravity & earnings.

Step 2: Keep those with the highest alexa (products that are getting a similar number of sales
, but with far less traffic than the rest.... = need less traffic to make a sale = convert better).

Step 3: Pick one of them.

Here are a few quick tips :

1. Do not promote no. 1 product of your niche , there are many affiliates doing that and many people have already bought it so it is less likely to be sold.

2. There are many more platforms other than clickbank. Clicksure, Jvzoo , warriorplus being some of those.

What I do is I look for my target market and then I analyze what they need. If I see a big need for something and I think that I see myself using that product, that is the time when I get the interest to sell and promote that particular product or service.

Also for my review site. what theme should i use? Preferably free!!!

I dont think its matter the product, but in the other hand, you must have a good promoting features, what i want to mean is that you have to focus more on how to promote your reviews than what you will review !

Pick products that are selling popular among users and have a good retention rate.
