Clickbank is loaded with over 10,000 different products spanning more than a dozen different categories, each product making up just a tiny part of a massive network of powerfully profitable affiliate marketing options. The problem is, the sheer number of choices can make choosing the right product to get started can be overly complicated and stress you out. The very first thing you need to do when you get to Clickbank's site is to click on the Marketplace link. The Marketplace is where you will begin your product search. It presents products in multiple categories. Each category is further broken down into subcategories that identify newest products, bestsellers, and potential bestsellers. This is the place you need to understand what the numbers Clickbank assigns to its products mean. Gravity, for example, is the score found at the end of a product listing. In Clickbank, a product's gravity is computed from how many affiliates have sold that product in the last six weeks. More recent sales have more gravity. What this score will not tell you if any affiliate struck it rich by promoting this product. An affiliate who sold just one unit is weighted the same gravity as an affiliate that sold 10,000 units. What the gravity score tells you is that a product has a lot of competition among affiliates, but it is selling well. Another number that's important to your selection is commission. You need to know the percentage of the total cost of the product that the seller will send you for your part in securing the sale. Sellers typically offer a 50-50 split, but the amount you earn can be as high as 75% or more. You can see the average amount per sale earned by each affiliate marketers, and you can see the number of sales made by all the affiliates together. This number gives you a good indication of how well the product converts when you send visitors to the Publishers page. You do not want to waste your time preselling a product that the Publisher cannot convert. As you check these numbers, look at the sales pages to see what you can learn about the product. If a sales page is thrown together with sloppy text, poorly worded instructions, questionable graphics, and links that don't work, chances are it will never convert well no matter how well you presell the product. But if you come across a clean, concise, well written sales page with clear instructions and an attractive layout, combined with high gravity and great conversion scores, you know you have a high converter. Picking the right product on Clickbank to promote can be time consuming, but if you do your researcher, consider each of the scores, and make a fully informed choice of the product you want to presell, you set yourself up for success.
