Choosing an Affiliate Program

There are many affiliate programs across the web, but some of them are better than others. You can earn commission from physical products, web services and online programs, program downloads, ebooks, and more.

Choosing a Quality Program
There are good and bad qualities of any affiliate program. Some things you might want to consider are commission percentages, target markets, and popularity of the product. If you are interested in a particular program, look at what other sellers are doing and how they are making sales. Depending on the program you may need to dig a little deeper to find out.

Within programs there are usually a selection of different products that you can choose to promote. If there is a particular product that you are interested in promoting first, just make sure that the affiliate program it works with is right for you.

Also, if you are interested in a certain affiliate program you will want to look at see what their selection of products is like. Are there products to promote that you are interested in? Do they offer a wide selection of products to promote? Are they quality products that people will feel good about buying?

Affiliate Tools
If you are a beginner, it's also nice to choose an affiliate program and/or product that provides you with several tools. For instance, many digital products that sell through affiliate programs offer free banners, articles, emails, and other tools to it's affiliates.

Some Popular Affiliate Programs
Probably the most popular program for selling physical products is Amazon. You can sign up for their affiliate program through Amazon Associates.

Two very popular programs for selling ebooks, guides, and other digital products are PayLoadz and Clickbank.

I personally prefer promoting digital products from Clickbank. In my opinion, the products are higher quality and the commissions are much better.

Please let me know in the comments what program you are thinking about and/or have chosen and why.
