Many of us want to do affiliate marketing by knowing that this method can make good money as long as you put in some effort. But, because there are many products and offers that we can promote there, choosing the right product for our plan is a major dilemma. Most of times we are not doing a good research first and because of that we’re doing wrong. There are many ways to find the correct niche products that we can sell.
Some of the mistakes we make are as it follows:

1) Do not promote the product that best suits the content of our website. Most of us want to get rich overnight with affiliate marketing, but perhaps forgetting that not every product is right for them to promote it. Generally you should choose only that afiliate product which fits best for your website.

2) We are not making a good market research, so essential if we want to find a suitable niche. You have to read everything that is related to the areas that you want to approach them (news, articles, blogs, speciality sites).
It is good to research keywords for different products we could promote and ultimately make a decision. You can even ask your friends what they think about certain products to give you an idea of what a buyer thinks about a particular product.

3) In the first period of time it is good to promote a single product but also by only promoting a single product you can alienate your buyers because they have the option to buy only one product. Try to promote more products in the same range but at the same time be careful not to promote to many products.

4) We are not testing the product,thing that can lead to a total collapse. It is good that before promoting a product, to test him to be sure that we can make profit.

5) We focus on the affiliate program and not on the product that ultimately it is more important to us.

6) We don’t invest enough in advertising.Try to pay attention to promoting products through banners, links or emails.

7) Many of us are tempted to promote many products, what is wrong because the time allocated to research and promote one will diminish and we get no good results.
In the end is recommended to find an equilibrate solution between the number of products and the time that we’ll have to promote them.

8) We are not interested in new articles in the field and this could cost us because a better product can appear anytime.

9) Do not focus only on the product because we need to pay attention to the site because the product that we sell is on the site. Bring site improvements and constantly add new content.

10) Ignore SEO by not adding enough content to the site.Try to write as many articles, news in the field or whatever you think will help for better optimization. If the site is better optimized then our chances of receiving new visitors will increase.

In the end I would like to add that not all of us make these mistakes, but that does not mean that those who are doing that, are not learning from their mistakes in order to finally succeed in affiliate marketing. Once we are able to respect certain rules is almost impossible not to reach our final goal.
