JVZoo/Clickzoo: Picking the Right Products?

5 replies
I have no idea if this has been covered before, but if it has, please direct me to it. The Warrior Forum is so immensely large.

I am new to affiliate marketing and I have been around it for quite a while, but looking over the insanely huge lit of products available on places like Clickbank and JVZoo, choosing a good product seems impossible.

I've sorted it by commissions, but that seems to produce suspicious litings (100% commissions). I sort it by payouts and even that seems to make me uneasy because the corresponding columns for good payouts won't be impressive.

What are your strategies for choosing winners? Is there a good science to this at all?

    Now ask yourself... are you really looking for a good product? or simply something that pays out well? (whatever that means).

    If you're going to promote products solely based on how much money they will put in your back pocket, you'll probably wind up alienating whatever prospects you may have to the point that they will no longer be prospects for anything you have to offer. Done deal. Pack your bags and go home.

    Here's a novel approach.

    Why not first decide what topics you think you know enough about to be able to write a decent promotion for (i.e. an ad, a quick email, or if you've actually used a product... a product review).

    It's great if you can actually purchase the product (or beg a free copy from the merchant) so that you can actually recommend a product from first hand experience, but we all know that it's hard to be profitable if you go around buying up everything if you're not also able to successfully promote at least some of them to offset those costs.

    But... once you have found a product that YOU found beneficial, check out that same merchant's other offerings. The good ones seem to produce pretty consistent quality.

    That's not to say that you then only promote one vendor's products. Once you feel that you can comfortably recommend one vendor's products, begin your search for another vendor that consistently produces quality products.

    What are your strategies for choosing winners? Is there a good science to this at all?
    Find something that you, yourself, have a need for. Buy it. Use it.

    If you are satisfied with the product, you are in a position to recommend it to a list of people who value your judgement

      JVZOO lists the top ten products by day, week or month. I would go with a product in the top 10.

      The reason some vendors pay 100 percent commission is that it attracts more affiliates and they can still make money on theirs OTOs and down sells. Plus most buyers will opt to receive updates and will then be added to the venders email list so the vendor can then market to them again.

    Know your end users, your audience, and your demographic.

    Then, and only then a winner will your selection be.

    I often stay away from the "top sellers" for one simple reason and that is that they have been promoted so hard that there is a good chance many people on my list have already seen them. That is, unless you can be among the first to mail for that launch.

    I search through the marketplace and the launch list and find products that look good and that are not being promoted by everyone else. I buy or get review access to just about all of the products I promote nowadays, so I'll know if it's not a good product before mailing.

    I also find that it's a lot easier to get review copies when promoting products that are not top sellers because the vendor is happy to get a good affiliate to promote their product.
