First, consider carefully the source. Any track record? I am amazed at what the search engines can find to check this one out! Go to the upper right hand corner of your browser where the spyglass is displayed and look for those who have tried the product. Blogs and reviews are good sources. The best source might be the web page of the product itself. Does it have its own domain name? Is the product merely hyped? This could be a red flag. An email or phone call to the marketer directly will determine if there is a live body on the other end. If he or she can answer your questions, you could have a reputable product find. Most reputable product pages contain “contact” or “customer service” pages.

Second, do you loose your money once you press send? Are they going to give you your money back if the product does not meet your expectations? You are going to need at least 30-days to see if it works or if it will perform. If there is no guarantee, you are stuck!

Third, is the product useful enough that you, or someone else, really needs it? If the answer to this question is no, you can be assured it will not accomplish your goal. If the product is as needful as food, you have a winner! It’s too bad no one has invented a way to get food to go through the internet. Maybe someday!

Fourth, does it work? Does it function? Will it perform? Here again, I love the search engines. If someone else has bought it, someone will have a comment on how it performs. Always be careful not to believe all that is written about the product both pro and con and consider the sources of the reviews.

Fifth, do you get what you pay for? Are there other similar products out there that do the same thing for less OR is it possible to obtain the same product at a lower cost? Here again, Google is my friend. Coupons and discounts abound on the net. Just Google the product and add the word “discount” or “coupon” to the product name and you will be surprised what you can find.

Well, there you have it. Simple 5 steps to finding your best affiliate product! Good luck in your search and we will see you on the web!
