Introduction to Internet Marketing (Part 5)

How are you today?

Feeling a little bit more confident in your understanding of an Affiliate Marketer?

Hope so!

Well last time we discussed picking our niche.

Hopefully you have kind of made up your mind about which niche sounds right for you.

With that out of the way, it is time to pick out your product.

SIDE-NOTE

I will normally not select a product until the end of my process.

If you get lucky I might share my "process" with you later.

But for now I am just discussing product selection for the sake of this course.

END OF SIDE-NOTE

For starters, I will start with the more cut-and-dry tips of product selection.

Head on over to the ClickBank marketplace, and select the category that fits your niche.

In the marketplace, I will normally look at two different numbers.

The first is the Avg $/sale.

This is the average commission an Affiliate will get paid per sale they help make.

For this stat, it really depends on the difficulty of promoting the product.

If the product won't be too difficult to promote, I could settle for a little commission around $20.

But if the product will be difficult to promote then that is another story.

The decision is for you to decide.

The next stat I look at is called "gravity".

While no one (except ClickBank) really knows what calculations go into this stat, it is a really nice figure to look at.

Basically, gravity is the popularity and "hotness" of a product.

The higher a product's gravity, the more Affiliates are making money off of it, and so on.

As you can see, gravity can be a really helpful figure.

For gravity, I usually look for a figure around 100 or higher.

With a high gravity number, you can usually count on it as being reliable and able to stay around for a long time.

Did you catch what I mentioned there?

The part about the product staying around for a LONG TIME.

This is extremely important.

Why would you want to waste all your time promoting a product, then the owner takes it down from ClickBank...

All that time down the drain...

So do yourself a favor, make sure the product is established and reliable.

That is all I have for you in this part. Hopefully you have learned some specific details to help you use ClickBank.

In the next part I will introduce to you some more general tips that are just as important!
