In one of my recent articles, I shared the way I find affiliate products that sell themselves, so I can benefit from better conversions and higher profits. In this entry, I want to indulge into WHERE I find those products and how do I know what’s going on in my niche.
There are only so many ways to get information about what’s going on in your niche and it’s using one or all of the following:
- Forums
- Affiliate networks
- Search engines
- PPC ads
- Email newsletters
- See what others are promoting and join in on the fun
These are 6 top ways for finding hot affiliate products that convert that you can promote to your list. However, I am too lazy to be using all of them, so I stick to Forums.
Warrior Forum is the one place I go to find winning affiliates offers. Usually, I carefully examine the test results that the vendor provides, compare it to other products and think whether it fits the needs of my list. Only after I carefully go through all the information, I sign up for the JV partners list and go through the swipe material.
The reason I prefer forums over other methods, is because forums are a real time saver for me. If you use Clickbank to find products, you need to carefully examine the ratios and percentages. You need to test the offer with some paid traffic until you can safely assume that it converts.
When a vendor posts his product to a forum, it means that he has probably already done all of those and you only have to promote it and get paid.
Newsletters are also considered a shortcut. JV notification lists only invite affiliates to hardcore launches with high commissions and minimum work on their part.
JV notification list owners go through a whole deal of trouble before they notify their subscribers about upcoming products. Besides, they usually notify you at least two weeks in advance, which gives you plenty of time to book in the dates and prepare for the launch with a handcrafted email series, blog posts and banners ads.
Another easy method to stay on top of things is to see what other top affiliates are promoting and join in on the fun, but then you’re late because you’re probably joining the promotion towards the end of the prelaunch which leaves you out the affiliate contest, since everyone has been promoting the product way more then you did.
My agenda, when joining a new JV partner list, is to always get in early, have an outstanding magic bullet product and having to do nearly no work at all, since the vendor has done everything for me. It’s a lazy way, but it makes me money.

Hey Igor
That has been helpful for me. I have wanted to get a few more affiliates to promote but I do not want to have to deal with a whole bunch of conversion stuff. I would rather spend as little time as I can on it and let the site convert. Thanks.

You’re welcome Steve,
what’s your product?
Igor
My personal product or someone elses that I promote?
Steven´s last blog ..Reactive vs Proactive – There Is A Major Difference For Your Business
Both of them?
Igor
I wrote an ebook that walks a new person to the internet what they need to set up in the way of sites (squeeze page, sales page, blog, etc) how to go about marketing online and about having an auto responder. Then in the way of affiliates that I have, I use all sorts of different people that go along with that from Jonathan budd, to hosting, blog set up services, and so forth.
I do not have a lot of different affilates but I would like to get more that convert well. I really do not want to deal with having to write good pages for them. I would rather have the owner of the product do all of that.
