Finding your first online product to promote. Which could be an e-book, online course, or something sold online without shipping involved instant download. Now finding your first product to promote online for your blog/website can be a very hard thing to do. It might seem like a very easy task at first, searching through Clickbank till you find a product within your chosen niche that seems like it is a good product with a good sales page, getting your affiliate link etc. Well that's not the way to success online, honestly that is bound for failure. Think about it someone buys that product that you recommended them to and it isn't all you had made it out to be you have just lost yourself a reader. But there are ways to find products that you can promote and know that you are going to be successful with no reason to feel like you have done something wrong. Because say you did promote that product without even checking into it and reviewing wether or not it was a good product, the viewer buys it through your recommendation that it is good product for whatever it is saying it will do. They get the product and see that it is nothing like what it states. There for you have lost a reader to the fact that you either know nothing of the product or nothing about your niche. And you want to be knowlegable about your niche and confident that you can have a conversation with somone about that niche.So finding an affiliate product to promote is a lot more than finding some product and saying its good. The way to go about finding wether a product is good is as follows.
1. Find a product within your niche
2. Ask the owner of the product for a review copy
3. Review the product
4. And if the product seems like something you would buy/recommend....
5. Market it on your website
See selling something with your affiliate link isn't just about making money that recommendation from you to buy that product tells the viewer that you are confident in that products ability to do exactly what it says.
