I'm new to affiliate marketing

you are really going to have to answer this question for yourself. One thing though, if it was me I would build my site around a niche and not a single product. But that is me, you will have to make those business decisions on your own

HOW new are you to affiliate marketing? Have you been doing something else for years, or did you just wake up and decide to be an affiliate marketer? The answer is important.

But i will tell you this: your approach is backwards. Don't try to figure out what to sell first. Never push your product onto a particular niche. The key is to find a void/problem - and provide a solution to it. Do your market research and let the niche tell you what to promote.

There are a multitude of health products available for affiliate marketing including digital health products. You could also look at clickbank to see the kinds of products that are selling well.

I have been promoting affiliate / CPA offers for over 17 years and I can tell you what has worked for me.

I heavily promote PPL (pay per lead...lead generation) offers. This is because there is no credit card / purchase required to complete an offer. All a user has to do is fill out a form, so conversion rates are typically much higher compared to offers that require a sale to be made.

I favor offers that have a make, get or save money benefit to them, as they have overall worked the best. They also tend to have the greatest mass appeal (will be of interest to a large general audience), so the potential exists to produce high volume and they are fairly easy to cross promote on the back-end.

Some of the verticals (niches) I have done extremely well with are: education, insurance, loans, debt, credit, mortgage, assistance, discount offers, homeowner offers, etc...

The bulk of the PPL offers that I promote pay $20-$40 per lead, but I also promote offers that pay more and less. You don't want to get too caught up on what an offer pays because how well it converts is just as important. For example, if you have an offer that pays $9, but if it converts at 2X or more of a $20 offer, then it will perform about the same or possibly better. At the same time, if you have an offer that pays $90 and it converts poorly, it may not even be worth promoting.

I have also done just as good with dating website sign-ups and pretty good with free trial + S/H offers. I also promote a very limited number of offers that are straight up purchase offers. However, mass appeal needs to exist and I look for one of the following to also exists:

1) The product is New and/or novel-unique and you can't purchase it locally or even something similar. I don't waste my time with it once something similar shows up in Walmart.

2) The buyer can truly get what is being offered at a decent discount.

3) Solves a house is on fire type problem.

However, most of the above I will promote on the back-end. Which is why the first thing I look for is mass appeal.

Bottom line, it's far easier to get someone fill out a short form than to get them to pull out their credit card and make a purchase. So why struggle with trying to sell this or that, when you can provide free information that users want/need and get paid well doing it.

Something to think about

As to the specific offer you are asking about. What I don't really like about it is that the user has to provide their full contact details before seeing any pricing information. To induce you to provide your contact info they ask... Where to send your free bottle? Which once you do get to the pricing it's $39.95 per bottle and you have to buy 2 bottles to get one free.

If the user doesn't buy, do they save the contact details of the user that were submitted? If so, will it be used to sell them later in a way that you won't get credit?

Offers like that have just always rubbed me the wrong way. If I wanted to run a product like that, I would rather find a free trial + S&H, as it would likely perform much better and there wouldn't be any hiding of the pricing behind what may be a lead gen that I don't get credit for.

If you have a source of traffic who are actively searching for that specific product you might do alright in the short term.

I offered that exact product to visitors of a closely related site and got very little interest.

I agree with Randall. Try to solve a problem, and you'll have better results.
And start with something you're passionate about. You'll have a better foundation for content.

about that 'Passion' thing ,I really struggle to find anything that I'm good at or even interested in that can be profitable.

I use sites like magazines.com and craigslist to find a niche .

Having passion is definitely helpful, but seems that it is sometimes hard to go hand in hand with finding the right product.

I'm sorry to say this but you will FAIL if you choose to do things this way...

Seriously.

How come?

You are focused on the PRODUCT first.

You should focus on the DEMAND first.

Find the traffic...Engage it. Contain it. Control it.

THEN

Find the product to sell.

choose what people are for and want. do not choose the product you want. passion does not pay the bills!

• Find a Niche Where There are problems to be solved
• Make sure you Like or passionate about that topic
• Create something, some kind of solution and Offer it
• Build Trust and authority
• Build a Brand
• Sell at the back-end or during Followup
• Repeat The Process in another Niche or Sub-niche.

I second randall find a problem in the market place/niche, let the market tell you what the problems are then find the solutions which is the products to promote.

Doing it the way your currently thinking you will fail. I made that mistake when i first started out, realised what I was doing wrong ad it changed for me

Frankly speaking, don't make this kind decisions in a rush. The product you have is in the niche category. So don't even think to change the product. You have try something else regarding your efforts regarding the marketing strategies. There is always a small fix number customers of such niche products. So think from the strategy change perspective. :-)
