In this post, I’m going to show you how you can find profitable ClickBank niches and ClickBank affiliate programs using Affiliate X Pro.

You can watch this video, or follow along with me using the text…

Now, when you’re looking for niches and affiliate programs you have two links that you really want to focus on. The first is the ClickBank Hot 100, which you can access by clicking here. And the second is the affiliate niches link, which you can access by clicking here. And you can start your search either by looking for affiliate programs on the Hot 100 or by looking for niches on this page.

Choosing ClickBank affiliate programs

So, let’s start with the ClickBank Hot 100. Firstly, be sure to log into your Affiliate X account by clicking on the Affiliate X log in link. Log in and then you can view all 100 ClickBank products on the hot 100, which you can see goes all the way down. And you can view all of the data and information on here, but you do have to be logged in to be able to see all of that.

So let’s quickly run through each of the features of the pages. Firstly, we have arranged all of the products on ClickBank by gravity. We’re the only site that does this. Typically, you can expect anywhere from a product with a gravity of 50 up to a product with a gravity of over a thousand.

You can see the gravity number, the name of the ClickBank product, and by the way if you hover over any of these links, you’ll be able to preview the headline of the product in question, which is quite a cool little feature. We have the number of keywords, profitable keywords that we found for that given affiliate program which you can see varies depending on the niche. So for example, for some niches it’s reasonably lower, it’s in the 50s, for others it’s in the hundreds.

The best affiliate programs to promote with Twitter, SEO & PPC

We’ve also rated each affiliate program and each niche out of three for SEO, PPC and Twitter, and each rating is a maximum of two, so it’s either zero stars, one star or two stars. So it allows you to quickly see which one of the Affiliate X methods is going to be best to apply to that given affiliate program.

We have a growth number, which is out of a maximum of five; so you can see this one here is falling in terms of gravity and this is one here is very much rising. We have average dollar per sale, a trends column and a create website column as well, which I’ll save for another time.

Analysing ClickBank trends

Now the trends column, if we click on that trends icon there, you’ll be presented with a page which displays the gravity number, the commission number and the referred percentage over the last seven days for that affiliate program. And we also have a short description here, which is taken from the ClickBank marketplace. In case you don’t know what any of these sections mean you can hover over the question mark and it will be explained to you.

Filtering ClickBank products

Now one of the cool features about the Hot 100 is that you can run filters. And the way you do this is by choosing the niche that you want, the minimum dollar earned per sale, so if you only want to promote affiliate programs that have got $50 minimum that you can make from each sale, you can do that; and gravity number. So you maybe you want to focus on really tiny products that no one else knows about, in which case you will go for very low gravity, for example less than 10. This will for example bring up the products like, say, the Traffic Evolution affiliate program page.

Or maybe you only want to focus on the really profitable, really popular products, in which case you’ll go with a gravity of more than 100. This will bring up products like, say, The Magic of Making up affiliate page.

And of course, you can customize that in depth; so for example, you could choose lose fat products with a dollar earned of more $20 and a gravity of above 50. And if I hit search, as you can see there are only six products that match that criteria found.

Individual Affiliate Pages

If I click on the affiliate program in question, you’ll see we’ve got a link here to the page; again if we hover over it, we’ll see a preview of the headline. We have a preview of the site, we have the growth, whether it’s going up or down, again the stats that we can click on, the current gravity, the current dollar earned and the current percentage payout that’s given to affiliates. We have a rating of the product, out of a maximum of two, for SEO Organic, PPC i.e. Google AdWords, and Twitter. We have the related niche, a ClickBank marketplace description and these keywords here. If I click on this keywords link, you’ll see that we have a list of all the keywords, both Google AdWords and SEO that we found that are going to be profitable for this given affiliate program. So that’s basically all the data that we need to make money using this affiliate program.

Now in terms of what you actually want to do when you find an affiliate program you want to promote using the Hot 100, you’ll want to promote it using the methods that are inside here, in the Make Money section. And the method that you choose will depend on the rating we give that particular affiliate program and these three columns here. So for example, Reverse Phone Lookup, has the maximum rating for the PPC method. So you’ll want to go to the Make Money section and apply our PPC method, which is the PPC Gap. Likewise if you see a high SEO rating, for example The Diet Solution has a rating of two, you want to apply our SEO method etc.

Now, three quick points before I finish up on the Hot 100. The first point is that you’ll see we have a total gravity number for all the products in the ClickBank marketplace, which is a useful way for you to work out whether all the products on Clickbank are doing well or are going down.

The second point that I want to make, in regards to the Hot 100 before moving on, is that as much as it’s great to promote any one of these products and just look and see whether it’s got a higher rating for a given tactic, one way to sort of tip the balance in your favour is by looking at whether the product is growing, whether it’s going up in terms of gravity.

And you can see that by looking in the Growth column and looking for these green arrows pointing up. So for example, you might see that the gravity has gone up by 20 or so in the last couple of days. So it’s possible that they’ve changed something in the sales letter and there’s some kind of new thing which has gone on, which means you’ll want to promote it and jump on it right now. So that’s the first indicator to look for to see if it’s a product you should promote; whether it’s increased in gravity, which you can see from these green arrows.

Finding Hot ClickBank Affiliate Programs

The second thing that you’ll want to look for to find hot ClickBank products, is one of two icons that we use on the Hot 100. The first of which is this HOT icon – and that’s a product that I know people are making money from, so I’m either making money from it myself right now or someone who I’m very close with is making money from it. So these are definitely products which you should consider.

Finding New ClickBank Products

The second type of icon you’ll see is the new icon, and normally there would be one or two new icons if not many more. New ClickBank products are good to promote because there’s not a lot of competition, no one’s really seen them and generally there’s a lot of money to be made with new products.

So in a nutshell, look at the Growth column and focus on products that are increasing, and look for either hot icons like this or new icons on the left-hand side. And by and large, those are the products you want to focus on. And of course in terms of how exactly to make money with them, pay attention to these three columns here and apply the relevant section in Affiliate X to make money with that given affiliate program.

Second point regarding this ClickBank tab is you also have a new product launches section and in this section we’ll keep you updated on any new affiliate launches, any new affiliate programs that are happening in the ClickBank space. And these are great because a lot of the time you’ll see new products that other people don’t know about weeks before they launch. They’ll appear in this section, giving you an early advantage to either set up a PPC campaign, get ready to promote them on Twitter or to promote them using the SEO method, which can also be very profitable especially if you target keywords such as the brand name of a product. So that’s the Hot 100 section.
