(Sorry about calling you a “dummy”, but it’s a better long tail keyphrase than “newbie”; stick with this blog and you’ll learn what that means).
Having read the first two parts in this series on Internet marketing you are likely woozy with anticipation of the riches soon to befall you as a successful affiliate marketer (I’ll explain that term in a minute). And you are likely also in the dark as to where to start.
The first question most aspiring marketers ask is, “What am I gonna sell?” Good news—there are more products for you to choose from than there are in a Wal-Mart regional warehouse. And there are scores of sites on the ‘Net that represent producers of products (i.e., Neverblue Ads, Azoogle Ads, Commission Junction)that span the gamut of human consumables. And those producers are eager to find savvy “affiliates” (one who affiliates himself with the producer’s product and attempts to sell it to the final consumer) to market their wares and often pay commissions in excess of 60% of the sell price. Let’s take a look at the King Kong of affiliate networks, Clickbank.
Go to the top of the Clickbank homepage and click on the “Marketplace” link. Now look under the “Categories” heading and click on “Health and Fitness”. then be sure to sort by “Popularity”. The first product will be a popular and profitable one.
Under “Stats” you’ll find some interesting things about the product. $/sale tells you how much you’ll make every time you sell the product. %/sale is the percentage of the sale price you’ll receive. Now look at “Grav:” (gravity). The gravity of a product is a representation (Clickbank does not reveal their formula for calculating gravity) of how many affiliates have sold the product and how recently those sales have taken place. Most consider a gravity between 75-100 to be ideal; enough sales to warrant an effort to promote the product without too much competition.
Now click on the product’s title (it’s printed in red at the top of the ad). This will take you to the product’s sales page and you should spend some time investigating it. Your job as an affiliate is to drive traffic to that page—and then your job is done. It is up to the product manufacturer to create an effective sales page that converts interested “lookers” into buyers. And when he does, you get paid a commission; 24hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year…
