Tens of thousands of website owners dream of life-changing profits from affiliate marketing. Anyone with a home computer, a talent for sales, and a few dollars can start a profitable at-home business that will quickly pave the way to financial independence. The center of the Internet universe for affiliate marketers is Clickbank, the hub of the web for picking up digital products to sell for serious coin. The only problem is, there are over 10,000 products in the Clickbank Marketplace. How can you possibly choose the products that will work best for you?

Luckily, Clickbank helps you choose the most profitable products for your affiliate site with objective measurements. Clickbank can tell you exactly how well a product will do, without your having to guess about the impact of the ways it is written, presented, or fulfilled. Clickbank gives you numerical measures of whether a product fills an immediate need. These are products like a book on to house train your pet, or a book on how to negotiate with your creditors, or a guide to breaking up or making up with your boyfriend, girlfriend, lover, or spouse. The products that generate the most sales on Clickbank are those that fill a clear and pressing need, and fill it right now.

The second thing to consider is whether the product provider presents the product in a unique, attractive, compelling way. What you are looking for is a concise list of selling points that make the buyer want to buy right now. The problem is, too often Publishers list features of their products that nobody really cares about. They might forget to check spelling and grammar. The page design might be a mess. Even if you as the affiliate marketer do a smash-up job of preselling the product, if the Publisher’s page is a mess, customers will click away without a second thought.

A third consideration is how well other affiliates have been doing the last six weeks by promoting the same product. Clickbank provides you with a full line-up of tools that help you objectively determine whether particular products will work for you. The gravity score, for example, tells you how many affiliates have made sales of this product in the last six weeks. The gravity score affords greater weight to the most recent sales. It won’t tell you if a single affiliate marketer has sold, say, 1,000 copies, but it will tell you how broadly the product appeals to the buying public. A high gravity score tells you that your page, almost any way you frame it, is likely to work right away. Clickbank also gives you the average earnings per sale made by affiliates. If the gravity is low and the percentage sold by affiliates is high, you can walk away knowing overall sales are probably too low to be worth your time. And even if the gravity score is high, a tiny average earnings number also tells you to steer clear.

In the end, you are the best judge of which products will work for you. Invest your preselling efforts in products you would buy yourself. Presell products of obvious merit with great sales copy. Eliminating poorly written products and lazy, ill-educated publishers will make your list of potential products shorter and your chances of success higher.
