Looking for the easiest affiliate products to sell? If you can put a product in front of someone who is desperate to purchase it, you’ve cracked affiliate marketing. The trouble is finding these buyers who are “red hot” buyers isn’t easy. Some people are just browsing the internet looking for information. After all, the internet is an information gathering tool!
When I started out as an affiliate, I looked for the easy path too. One of my very first sales came from selling a program called XSite Pro. It was a website building tool which has been outdated now. Today, websites are easily put up and the software is likely to be redundant. The reason this sale went through was because I wrote a review of the product, and someone found it and bought through my affiliate link. I found a red hot buyer because my review attracted someone who was perhaps looking to buy the software I was reviewing.
This is one of the best strategies to sell affiliate products. Writing reviews attracts the audience you want to sell to. Someone who is looking for a review of a product is just seeking some final information on it before making a buying decision. So, with a review you attract a red hot “buyer audience”.
Easiest Affiliate Products To Sell
Products sell themselves if they are good, too. The main problem for affiliate marketers is finding the people who want those products and putting their links in between the customer and the product. If you’re new to affiliate marketing you may have tried many things to get traffic. But you also need the right traffic for your affiliate products, and you need to convey the value of those products to your audience.
With some products this is self evident. A camera is something a photographer might be looking for. Before purchasing they might read a few reviews about the particular camera (or camera’s) they are looking at. That’s a red hot buyer who (almost) knows what they’re looking for. A review website is a simple strategy which might work well in this case. If you can get your review website in front of the right audience, you know you can lead them to the products they want. Physical products, from the likes of Amazon therefore, are pretty easy to sell if you find the right audience for them.
But physical products don’t pay that much for affiliates. See Amazon affiliate marketing commission and affiliate marketing commission rates.
Easiest Affiliate Products To Sell – Sales Pages & Affiliate Resources
Before deciding on an affiliate product to sell, it’s worth looking at the affiliate program and products you’re offering. In particular, what sales resources are offered by the company selling the products? With a good program which offers a lot of resources, it can be a whole lot easier to sell a product. Some products offer banners and sales pages, and others offer webinars and email follow ups to your leads – effectively selling products for you!
With a good product, which you can stand behind, your own marketing efforts will be more effective. If you choose a product you don’t believe in, or haven’t bought yourself, this attitude will likely “leak” into your marketing materials and your potential customers will see it!
So it’s wise to choose products which you have purchased yourself and which you value and trust. If you are interested in the product, and genuinely endorse it, this will show in your marketing. If you’re selling something just for the outcome, this will likely show in your marketing and can put people off.
Easiest Affiliate Products To Sell – Your Marketing
Selling any product online as an affiliate isn’t always easy, especially if you’re starting out as an affiliate. By aligning a passion or interest with a product, you give yourself a greater chance of success. Your marketing is ultimately what brings customers to your affiliate products. Unless you can do so successfully, the best products in the world won’t sell and you won’t make any money.
Choosing your marketing strategy is therefore pretty important. As a marketer, which is what affiliates are, how you show up will determine your success, or lack of it. There’s many ways to market affiliate products online:
- Blogging or v’logging
- List building – email marketing – see the power of email marketing
- Using social media to build an audience
- Paid marketing
Many affiliates will align their passions and interests and find suitable products which they can promote from a niche blog. Then they attract an audience through blogging around their passion. This can be a good way to attract an audience because it aligns with your passion. When you’re passionate about something, it’s a whole lot easier maintaining a blogging or v’logging habit for the time it will take to break through and achieve success.
