First of all I identify a product to promote, clickbank.com is my marketplace of choice, it has thousands of digital information products covering many different niches that you can promote.  What I like about clickbank is that it allows you to see beforehand which products are already selling well, this is important as you don’t want to go in blind, put all your effort into promoting a product only to find out it doesn’t sell.

I like to find products that cater for a desperate market where people are looking to solve a problem, the health and business catagories are usually good for these, next I filter the  search results by gravity. Gravity is an algorithm applied by clickbank to show which products affiliates are having success with promoting, the higher the better. I tend to go for products with at least a gravity of 50 as this shows the product does sell and is worth promoting.

Once I’ve identified 3-5 products that meet the above criteria I then go onto create a website, my site of choice is the review site. There are others like the pre-sell site where you tell a story about your success with the product to convert the reader into buying, I do have some of these and they do work but I’ve had more success with the review site method.

When I first started I would create the review sites from scratch, this took quite a while what with having to do HTML and writing reviews and articles. However, always being one on the lookout for a short cut  I’ve since found a great service that supplies me with 2 review sites covering 2 popular niches every month, check them out here:

Using the above service  I can now have a site up almost instantly, all I do is change the content a bit to make it unique then upload the site and start generating traffic…

That leads me on to my next post where I’ll be going over how I generate traffic to my review sites, be sure to check back for that…

Cheers,

Danny.
