Finding Profitable Products and Services by Utilizing Marketing Networks

Affiliate marketing is one of the most efficient ways, for new comers to the internet, to get involved in a home business and to make money online. With an affiliate business, you do not own a product or service but rather promote the site of your affiliate, earning commissions on each sale.

As you know there are thousands of products and services available to be promoted through internet marketing. The business opportunities to start your own business are almost endless, however, not all of them are going to be successful, no matter how much they are promoted.

The question is: How do I find an affiliate program that will prove to be a profitable market?

There are many networks on line that specialize in guiding you in your search for the niche market that you will eventually promote into a successful online business.

A few sites that you might consider visiting are: Commission Junction, Sharesale, Clickbank, Clixgalore, and Offervault.

These networks are a good place to look for an indication of profitability for a potential product.

When visiting these sites, look in the market area for products related to your niche and check out the different categories of information.


1) $/sale – indicates the amount you will get paid.
2) Future – if it’s a recurring product like a mentoring program, training course, hosting or membership site, they pay every month. This is great if you can promote a product that pays residually every month – this is a rebilling product.
3) % sale – this indicates the percentage that each affiliate is getting paid.
4) % refd – indicates the fraction of the total amount of sales of the product that is sold by affiliates. If the number is high, it means many affiliates are selling this product, which is a good thing.
5) grav – this stands for gravity. Some people like to promote products that attract many affiliates. This would mean it would have a high gravity number. Some people prefer to promote products that have fewer affiliates. This would mean a lower gravity number. The higher the gravity number compared to other gravity numbers, the more affiliates are promoting the product.

These networks are a great place to begin when researching products with a view to finding potentially profitable markets. As in any business, whether a standard or online business, it is imperative that we investigate as many avenues of information as possible in order to determine the marketability of a potential product.

Never guess about which product to promote.

Do the research first so that you can confidently set out on a successful affiliate marketing career.
