How to Know If New Affiliate Programs Are Worth the Risk
New affiliate programs are popping up constantly on ClickBank and forums.
How do you know if it is a winner or a loser? Is it worth taking the risk of promoting? The first thing most of the internet marketers do when trying to decide what digital product to promote is go to ClickBank.
ClickBank marketplace has promotable products (ie: digital downloads for the most part) listed in several different categories that are sortable by popularity, % referred, low gravity etc..
..
The two to pay close attention to is the popularity and high gravity (meaning that it is promoted often by other affiliate marketers and the profit is typically over 60% of the sale) categories.
Having said that, one can easily assume that there would be a great deal of competition with these two categories.
Do the experienced internet marketers have a strong edge on marketing these highly promotable and profitable products that a new beginner does not? Possibly.
But it really depends on how everyone is marketing in their own little world of cyberspace.
This business is so different for all.
There are so many different avenues that people take because for the most part, all of us are learning different skills at different times from all kinds of different people.
So, it is safe to say that a new beginner who learned from a very savvy internet marketer may have picked up some of the latest skills that someone who began in this creative and ever changing business in the 90's may not have learned yet.
As for trying a newly listed affiliate program/product listed on ClickBank, I can think of a mentor of mine who is very successful and recently gave a new product a go based on his "feeling".
If you think about it, how big is the risk, really? If you are marketing it the same way you market a tremendously popular product and you really think the pitch page and % of profit is worth spending some time promoting to your list or on a forum, give it a try.
After all, this is a game of trial and error almost everyday, even for the pros.
