One of the most important tasks for an affiliate is knowing how to choose profitable affiliate products. It’s very simple. There are three high-level criteria to deal with. They are:

Cost effectiveness

Passion

or Knowledge

PPK, if you like acronyms. Yes. I assume you’re in business to make money. But, even if you don’t need the money and want to donate it to charity, you still have to earn the money first, right? Therefore, you should select products that are in demand and that pay good commissions. You need to research keywords for your target market. There is free and paid software that can help you with the vital research process. You can Google keyword research software.

But don’t spend all your time doing research (it’s not a PhD assignment!). Essentially, you are trying to determine how many people on average are interested in your proposed niche, the potential returns and investment, and also the level of competition.

Passion is like fuel. You can still make a lot of money without it. But the journey might not be fun. I believe that life is not to be endured. It is to enjoy. Do you want another glass of beer? Isabella told me that you woke up late yesterday. It is vital to take into account the element of passion, because life is too short.

Your passion will imbue your communication with prospects and customers with authenticity, and show that you really care. And when hard times come, it will help you. You want to choose products that you enjoy using and love to share with others.

Choosing and exploiting profitable affiliate products requires knowledge. Knowledge or information is the most sought after product. It goes without saying that you need a deep understanding of your product and your prospects. Only then can you convince them to buy. Business is essentially about creating value for others. The more knowledge you have, the easier it is to create and sell value. It also gives you expert status (which is good for the ego).

Those are the main criteria you need. In the next article, we’ll explore the details like conversion rates, gravity, passive income generation, and other simple ideas that will allow you to not only choose highly profitable affiliate products, but more importantly, fill your bank account up to the edge.
