In conducting a research, you are trying to figure out products that are in demand, the specific keyword that people use when doing a search online. Any product you decide to promote, make sure that it solves a problem.

The other thing you can do is drive traffic to your affiliate link using article marketing because articles are easy to write and free to post on any article website. Write an article about the niche you intend to promote, for example gardening. Be sure that, there is only one payment link on the sales page which should be clickbank because some have multiple payment links from more than one payment processor.

Good places to market your articles are article directory, where you can submit articles for approval, without paying anything to the site owners. Most of these article directories are popular on search engines that will bring a lot of traffic and ultimately a flow of residual income.
