There are affiliate products that sell better than others, let me start with a list of products that are currently bestsellers:
- The Lost Book of Remedies: A book describing natural remedies for various ailments.
- The Smoothie Diet: A weight loss program with smoothie recipes and a 21-day diet plan.
- The Ultimate Generator: A guide on how to build a device that generates free energy.
- The Nomad Power System: A guide to building a portable solar power system.
Please note that this list is not exhaustive and that there are many other products that you can promote as an affiliate marketer. It's important to understand what makes a good product or offer for affiliate marketing.
What do you notice about the products above? They are all information products. They arouse curiosity and motivate people to read the product.
Also:
The product promises a huge benefit or value, which at first glance is much higher than the asking price.
What is curiosity?
A strong urge to know or learn something, or about a strange or fascinating object or fact, is called curiosity. It is often characterized by an intense desire to understand or learn about something.
Sentences that express interest include: "He showed them some of the curiosities of the house", "Curiosity got the better of me, so I called him" and "Filled with curiosity, she peered through the window".
So curiosity can help us to sell products better. Products build up tension, and to reduce this tension, you have to buy the product.
Usefulness – the number one product seller
Usefulness - the number one product seller
Products that are useful sell. A product that is not useful will never be successful. If there are people who expect to benefit from a product, it is a good idea to promote the product as an affiliate.
The situation is different for products that nobody seems to need. Let's stick with books... The value of a book lies in the overall package. It is what is printed on the pages as well as the chosen printing paper, the smell of the book and even the beautiful cover.
If you sold a book with blank pages, it would be worthless. What should you do with it?
Digital products – made for the Internet
The numerous advantages of selling digital goods make it particularly tempting for companies. Here are some of the benefits of selling digital goods:
- Minimal overhead costs: Compared to running a traditional department store, running a digital product store has significantly less overhead costs. There are no transportation costs or warehousing costs.
- High profit margins: Since there are no ongoing costs for the goods, you keep the majority of the sales proceeds.
- Easy distribution: Digital items do not need to be replaced, as they can be produced only once and sold regularly to many customers. For those looking for effective ways to market their expertise, they are therefore perfect.
- Global reach: You can reach a global audience if you run an online business. Social networks and online markets can help you reach a wider audience and build a customer base.
- The future of education is e-learning, with a projected market of 840 billion dollars by 2030.
- Complementary to tangible goods and services: More and more companies are introducing digital goods alongside tangible goods and services.
E-books, music, digital art, software, online courses and virtual items in video games are some types of digital products you can sell.
All these benefits make digital products very attractive and lucrative for both sellers and marketers.
Since I offer and produce digital products myself, I know how lucrative they can be. If you have the chance to market a digital product with a fair commission, then you should take it.
Conclusion
Some products sell better than others. Experienced marketers know this and can judge whether a product is worth marketing or not after getting to know it.
Ask yourself whether the product is of interest to the potential buyer. Would you want to buy the product and if so, why? Put yourself in the target group's shoes to better assess the product.
Find out how popular the product is. Look at how many reviews there are for it. Products that have hundreds or thousands of reviews must be attractive.
Select products that offer the buyer a benefit. With such products, you as the seller have the least effort to convince the buyer. The prospective buyer sees the product, sees the benefits for himself and wants to benefit from it, so he buys it if the offer is right.
