Hooqy Media Blog

Our information in this article are based on what products our advertisers promote and what products convert the best. And then we do the research why and how to find out these hot products and advertise in Hooqy Media Content Network.

Finding hot markets is not difficult; you just need to know where to look. EBay has a wonderful tool that they release every month.

It’s found at http://pages.ebay.com/sellercentral/hotitems.pdf. You can guarantee that if it’s selling on EBay you can find an affiliate network in Commission Junction, for that product.

A very easy way to find hot products is searching on Amazon. They make it really easy for you, as an affiliate. But, I sometimes look at CJ to see if I can find a higher commission rate.

On Amazon you can find this toolbar at the top of the main page. Click on Bestsellers and Hot New Releases to find products that are selling like hotcakes.

But, be warned you will be up against a lot of competition for these products. It’s important to note that if you dig deep into the search engines, you can find some keyword phrases that are targeted and not as competitive.

Also, check out these sources for finding hot products.

• Google Video – if companies are making videos for a product, it’s a good sign that it’s selling.
• Froogle – Google product search engine.
• Yahoo Buzz – Tells you what everyone is searching for.
• Google Hot Trends – Tells you what is being searched on Google.
• Magazines – go to your local bookstore once a week with a pad and pencil and write down what is being advertised. If magazines are advertising, it’s selling.
• Local department stores – Watch your ads in the paper on Sundays, and look for what they are selling.
• Seasonal markets are red hot; make sure you capitalize on holidays and special events.
• Snoop in the forums that are in your niche. See what people are buying and promote it.

When looking for new products and niches please open your mind and think outside the box. You do not have to be hit over the head to know that Men in Black 3 is coming out soon. Guess where the parents will be buying MIB3 merchandise? You’re right online!

Finding Click Bank Products to Promote

It’s not hard to find the top selling products on CB, just look at the top products in each niche and there they are, but these are also fueled by affiliates who are promoting thru email lists. Very, very tough competition.

Deep inside CB are hidden “gold nuggets” waiting to be uncovered. You can even find products that have zero gravity and begin making profitable hubs from them. What constitutes a product that sells? Killer sales copy or sales letter.

I spend a great deal of time searching through CB’s marketplace and I can tell you that I always look for one thing. A sales letter or copy that is good and captivates the readers’ attention. A lot of the products for sale on CB lack one thing, a great sales letter.

They may have a great product, but a bad sales letter destroys their profits and yours.

A great sales letter will grab it’s readers by the eyeballs and instantly get their attention. It must follow the two styles of copywriting, either John Kennedy or Carnegie. Kennedy’s formula uses three steps:

1. A clear and concise promise
2. Reason, Why, Proof
3. A call to action

Carnegie’s formula includes this three step formula:

1. A memorable story
2. Call to action
3. The benefits you gain by taking action

The one I used in my sales letter was Carnegie.

Too many times, people know how to develop a product, but have no clue how to write a sales letter. If the headline does not grab you, you should not waste time promoting it.

Make sure every sales letter has AIDA.

A = Attention
I = Interest
D = Desire
A = Action

Your merchants headline is very critical to your success as an affiliate. The two biggest words to look for are you and free. Free is easy to understand why it works. I like to find sales letters or copy that gives something away free. For example: I might add in my hub “Get your free report today. Act Now” and hyper link the affiliate link into “act now”. “You” is the most important word in sales copy.

You are taught when writing a sales letter to never or limit the use of I. The sales letter better be about the prospective buyer. If you find a sales letter that includes “I” a lot. It might be wise to look for another product to promote.

Notice the headline in the sales letter for this eBook. I fought and fought with that headline. I finally gave in and added the word “you”. It’s not about me but you the prospective buyer.

Improper call to action phrases can hurt your commission from your merchant’s page. You want to find call to action phrases that do not include the word buy. Hey, I buy a lot of products online. I am always trying to educate myself and I hate parting with my money. I do not want someone directing me to buy something.

Look at the sales letter on this page. I used “take my keys”, instead of buy or get or order. People in general do not like to be forced to buy something. Using different words other than buy can help a merchant add sales. Try to find call to action phrases in sales letters that avoid the word buy or order.

A lot of your profit will come from products that are brand new to the market. I always use www.cbtrends.com to check out new products that are introduced to Click Bank. New products are released everyday, pick and choose carefully which ones you want to promote. Do not get caught up trying to promote the latest and greatest “guru” offering. Can you make money promoting the “make money online” niche?

YES.

But, there are lots of low hanging fruit ready to be picked.
