Finding Affiliate Products

Last time we reviewed www.affiliateprograms.com and I suggested this was a good place to look for other people's products to sell.

Another such website is http://www.affiliatebot.com/ where you can either list a product as a "merchant" or become an affiliate of a program as a "publisher". The products as listed together with the % commission that is offered on each sale.

You may be wondering how you will promote products like this. Well, a few posts ago, we discussed finding your area of interest and then I directed you to find some products relating to your area of interest. Here's why.

As you are starting out, you don't likely have a product that matches exactly what people are looking for on the web. If you did, you would already be rich! If you are interested in and have knowledge of an area that people are searching for, you can start by selling other people's products that relate to your area of interest. If your interest is in time management and you find that people are searching for time management tips on the web, perhaps you will find some time management software or ebooks on these affiliate websites that you can promote on your website. You can develop a site with all kinds of tips and articles on time management (since you are an expert on this topic, writing some tips and other content shouldn't be too hard for you). You will attract people to your site with your valuable content. Once they are there, they may purchase a product, resulting in a commission for you.

Take a look at http://www.affiliatebot.com/ and see if you can find any products that complement your area of interest or that spark your creative juices and start you writing those articles and content.
