The good part about being on a network is that you could have hundreds of offers to choose from. If you choose a good network then you should also be getting an account manager or “affiliate manager”. They can be a very valuable resource in helping you to find a good offer that fits your niche. Their job is to help you make more money, so talk to your affiliate manager as much as you can!
Once you are inside a network you will be able to see a list of offers you can promote. Each offer will likely have some data or information on that offer including network earnings per click, the point at which a conversion occurs, how much you get paid per conversion, your custom tracking link, and much more. Here are some things to consider when choosing an offer to promote to your target audience:
PAYMENT. Offers should have a clear pay structure with specific information on the compensation you’ll receive: commission amount, payment schedule, tracking information.
CONVERSION POINT. Seek out programs that have a low barrier to converting such as lead offers or products that you think are extremely hot or easy to sell to your target audience. As markets become saturated and products become dated, it’s important that new releases are available to expand your revenue options, or that you can promote other products to your own list in that same niche.
PROMOTION. It helps if the the affiliate program you join has LOTS of ready-made promotional materials … especially banners, or emails or content (Ex. Articles, reports, etc.)
SALES. Obviously, it all comes down to making money. Look for products that are of good value, and show high Earnings Per Click.
