Trying to decide on which Clickbank Product you should promote as an affiliate marketer can be difficult with so many options, so this hub will attempt to help narrow down the field for you.

I'll go over some of the things that you need to know to make money with clickbank and also go over so other tips for affiliate marketing and internet marketing to help boost your income.

With thousands of products to choose from, how do you know which is the best Clickbank product to promote and that will perform the best for you?

Here are some tips that I use to help me choose a good Clickbank product to become an affiliate for.

1. Gravity

Gravity would have to be the first factor I look for when deciding on a product. Gravity tells us roughly how many other people are making sales with the product. The higher the number, the more people are selling it.

So does a high gravity product mean you should automatically choose it?

... Sometimes ... Depends.

While I realise that's a little vague there are a number of other factors that you will need to consider before choosing your product.

Most of the products I choose have a gravity of over 40. I rarely promote new products because I just don't know if they are going to be winners or not.

Be careful about choosing products with gravity over 100. This means you have a lot of competition and it'll be harder to stand out from the crowd.

2. Commission

The next thing I look at is how much money I am going to make per sale. I like anything over $20, but preferably closer to $30.

This means that any money or time I spend promoting the product is worth my time.

Whether you choose ppc or other free methods of promotion, factoring in hours or work to just make $10 per sale is usually not cost effective unless you think you can sell hundreds of that product.

I would rather spend less time to make more money.

Obviously no matter whether you are promoting a Clickbank product or your own product - the key is getting traffic to your site.

As mentioned you can either use paid for traffic (such as Adwords) or free traffic.

Some great free traffic ideas include:

• article marketing e.g. ezinearticles
• forum marketing
• bum marketing
• SEO
• writing ebooks
• eBay e.g. classified ads
• social marketing e.g. facebook
• using squidoo lens and hubpages (like this one)

And much more.
