Affiliate Marketing : 3. How To Choose The Best Affiliate Programs

This can be a confusing area when first navigating through the maze of affiliate programs and it need not be! In fact, I am going to show you exactly how to do it right now.

Factors to Look For When Choosing a Program to Promote

It all boils down to this: When selecting an affiliate program to promote there are seven factors that you MUST consider.

These include:

1. Demand - There must be a demand for the product the merchant is offering. You can check this by visiting http://www.Overture.com where you can see if any sellers are bidding on keywords related to the product you want to offer.
   
2. High Commission - The commission must be substantial in itself. If you're promoting a $5 item then you need to make a lot of sales and it can be as difficult as selling a high ticket item. Make sure it's worth it. Commissions of 50% - 60% would be desirable (mainly digital goods) but for high-ticket items even just 20-45% will do it.
   
3. Good Customer Support - You should be able to reach someone at the company if you have any questions related to the product. After all, if you don't know enough details, how are you going to sell these items to your customers?
   
4. Good Sales Copy - The sales letter must be convincing enough to get people to buy the product. Put yourself in your customers' shoes and ask yourself: Would I buy the product myself when I was visiting this page? Moreover, the sales letter has got to have enough testimonials included. This will boost your conversion ratio.
   
5. Money Back Guarantee - There should be a money-back guarantee for the product being sold. If the affiliate program owner doesn't offer this, then you better search for something different to promote!
   
6. Contact Details - Physical address and contact info should be visible on the site.
   
7. Statistics - The affiliate program must offer real-time statistics so you can see how many visits you are converting into sales.
