Finding The Best Products

You’ve put all of the work in creating your site and making content (or using ShopABot’s instant store builder and blog setup), but now what?

Well, now it’s time for the fun part… Adding some affiliate links. But remember, you can’t treat this the same way you might have those micro niche sites that were so popular a few years ago! It takes finesse!

ShopABot suggests the products, recommending them for you based on what’s proven to sell and get shared etc., but if you haven’t got access to ShopABot, or want to do it manually you need to be a bit more choosey about the ones you pick, so you’re not wasting all of that work on something that won’t make you money.

The best way to do things is to demonstrate the use of the product in some way without making your post seem like nothing but an ad.

For example, let’s say you want to sell some really cool kitchen gadget.

You could make a video of yourself preparing some dish that uses the gadget and shows just how cool it really is. (Alternately, you could embed someone else’s video and just talk about how cool it is in your article.) Or, create a giveaway report teaching something valuable and then recommend your affiliate product as the resource they should use.

At the end of your article, or in the report, add your affiliate link. Do not use banners or anything like that, because you don’t want to seem too promotional, but at the same time, don’t hide that you’re using an

affiliate link, because that’s against Amazon’s terms, and could also upset your visitors.

I would promote an affiliate product in maybe 1:5 posts or 1:10. I know this seems like you won’t be making much money, but if you’re promoting affiliate links more often than that, people will become blind to them and think you’re all about money rather than user experience. In the long run, you’ll make more money with fewer ads, because more people will visit your site often in anticipation of new content.

Make sure you find the best-of-the-best when it comes to the products you promote. If possible, test each item yourself so you can be sure it really works. An added bonus to testing it yourself is the ability to post your own pictures and/or videos, which will help you seem more authentic in its promotion, thus increasing sales.

Also, be sure to promote products in a wide range of prices. If you’re only promoting products over $100, people will grow tired of it. Not everyone can afford to splurge on expensive items often. Be sure you throw the occasional $5 item into the mix. You can even say, “I can’t believe how inexpensive this is!”

And don’t worry about the miniscule commission you’ll receive when you promote a $5 item. Many people will end up ordering more than just that $5 commission, and you’ll make money on whatever else they purchase, too!
