Chances are that if you are interested in list building then you also want to use your list to make some money.
So once you have taked advantage of my free squeeze pages and have a growing list there is really only two options when it comes to making money:
- Create Your Own Product/Service
- Promote Someone Else’s Products
Unless you are an expert in your niche I wouldn’t recommend the first option. So I want to focus on how we can promote other peoples products.
Affiliate Products
The majority of people who took the first option and created their own product are now looking for people to help them make sales – and they are willing to pay some nice commissions if you do!
This concept is called affiliate marketing, and in case you are new to the whole concept or are looking for some new products to promote I wanted to take a look at where to find the best affiliate products to sell.
Where To Find The Best Affiliate Products To Sell
-
Clickbank
ClickBank is a secure online retail outlet for more than 12,000 digital product vendors and 100,000 active affiliate marketers. Having paid out close to $1.5 Billion in commissions to it’s affiliates, Clickbank is a a great place to find an product that your subscribers will love.
You will find the best affiliate products to sell in their marketplace. ( Personally use Clickbank to promote some fantastic products including The Aweber Code)
-
PayDotCom
PayDotCom is a fast growing online marketplace (similar to Clickbank) that catalogs thousands of products and services, both physical products and digital products. We have over 400,000 affiliates and we get over 1000 new affiliates every day.
PayDotCom was founded by Internet Marketing guru Mike Filsame, created by internet marketers for internet marketers.
-
E-Junkie
E-Junkie to me has always seemed like the poor mans Clickbank because I didn’t think that it had the affiliate base to support quality products.
This changed for me when Darren from ProBlogger released his ebook: 31 day to build a better blog. That ebook has sold over 19,000 copies and I am quite sure that a lot of affiliates made a nice chunk of change from this product.E-Junkie is fantastic for bloggers who are looking for affiliates for their first product. It only costs $5 a month and it allows you to simply set up an affiliate program for your ebook.
-
Click2Sell
Click2Sell is a new website on my radar – but looks extremely interesting. This marketplace offer higher commission than both ClickBank and PayDotCom. The commissions are can be up to 95%!
I find that Click2Sell has a lot wider range of products than Clickbank and is definitely something that I will be looking into more in the coming months.
There are a lot of other market places that I could suggest, but using the above websites I am sure you will find the best affiliate programs to sell through your list.
The Best Affiliate Products To Sell Are…
One piece of advice I would strongly recommend to help you increase your affiliate marketing efforts is to only promote products that you personally use or that you wold have no problem recommending to others.
The products you use are the best affiliate products to sell!

I’d recommend another service to look for afilliate products: http://www.affiliatetips.com/
Why I like it?
Mostly, it’s because of its co-working with ClickBank. And the service itself offers various tops and latest trends, which makes it very easy to find what’s hot today

@Jorge – Welcome to my blog! When you say that you are a merchant, does that mean you have your own product listed there?
@iWoodpecker – AffiliateTips looks great! I may have to look into their website a bit further to read some of their reviews.

Personally I use e-junkie a lot. Their tracking system is more accurate than some of the others I have tried so I you wont miss any sales you made.
I have got click bank recommendations for ages, never tried it. Should do it soon #noteToSelf

@Pubudu – I haven’t actually tried either, so I cannot really comment. But I will head over and check them both out.
@Arun – You definitely need to make sure that the affiliate program you are promoting has a sold tracking system. I will have to look into e-junkies products – there were not too many in my niche last time I looked.

Another great tip is to email the owner of the affiliate product and ask if you can have access or a copy of the affiliate product you’re going to promote. Many times they’ll be happy to give you access.
[Reply]
@Jack – That is a really great point! I have done this once or Twice and agree, creators are usually eager to find ways to get people to promote their products!
[Reply]
I just heard about the click2sell. Hmm I think I must try your tips bro. Thanks

I’m using ejunkie but I found that the affiliate code they present you with is very unattractive. I had to ask the product owner to help me create code that would display the product and link to my affiliate account. Does that always happen? I’m not really familiar with too much html code but I’m learning.
Thanks for the links.

Unfortunately you are usually left with ugly affiliate links. I usually use a simple html redirect that allows me to use a much cleaner link such as:

Nice list shared. A benefit of this article is , we have experince of other bloggers with these affiliates. So, we are not supposed to test and try every one. At the last i will again read all comments and make final decision about a good affiliate to sell our product. keep it up.

I think you advice on only selling something that you personally know about is well worth listening to

I think that click bank is one of the best places to start when we are searching for products to sell.
