Assuming you’ve chosen your niche, the next thing to do is choose products to promote.
There are quite a few factors to consider when doing this.
Is the product seasonal or otherwise short lived?
Is it likely to go out of stock?
Does it give you a reasonable return per sale?
Is the supplier long established and reliable?
Most importantly, are you happy with the product or will it tarnish your online reputation?
Once you’re happy with the product, you need to create a review.
This works best if you’ve actually used the product yourself but – especially with expensive products – it may not be practicable to do that.
In which case, you may have to rely on reviews on other sites to help you get a feel for the product.
Personally, most of the products I promote are digital so (as an established affiliate) I can get review copies.
Depending on how well you get on with your affiliate program, you may be able to do the same.
There are people who make a full time living reviewing products on Amazon who get the products for free – that could be another option although it’s not one I’ve got personal experience of.
However you get the information, you need to decide whether the product will be on a standalone page on your website or if it will be part of a top “x” review page or if you’ll use some other method to promote it.
Standalone reviews work well, so do A/B comparisons and so do top “x”.
I’ve used all those methods and got sales from all of them.
Then put your review live, making sure you stay within the terms of service of the product’s supplier.
You should have a disclaimer somewhere saying you will likely earn a commission.
And Amazon have other rules – check their site for the latest ones.
If your niche lends itself to repeat sales, you should almost certainly be building a list – I’ll cover that in another video.
And don’t make your review too “selly”.
It needs to be real world and including some negatives (outweighed by positives) helps keep it real world.
