5 Tips for Amazon Affiliates: How to Find the Best Amazon Products to Promote.
74How do I pick the best Amazon products to promote at Hubpages?
If you are like many people here at Hubpages, you are probably looking for a way to make more money online. Like many others here at Hubpages, I have learned how to earn money with Amazon. But it didn't happen overnight. Through trial and error, I have been able to get real results with the Amazon Affiliate Program. And like many writers over here at Hub pages I have discovered how much fun it is to be an Amazon Affiliate. There really is no limits to how much money you can earn with Amazon and how many products you can promote online.
If you are a hub writer who is learning to write product review hubs then you are probably wondering how to pick the best Amazon products to promote. You want to know, "Why should you write about one product and not another?". So I wanted to create an article with 5 of the strategies that I use to pick the hottest products over at Amazon.com.
I hope these tips and tricks work as well for you as they do for me.
Best Amazon Products to Promote
- I like to write reviews on products that I have used and love. This is by far the easiest method because when you write about a product that you are familiar with it means writing about it will come naturally. Also, you will not be spending so much time on research. Think about what are some of your favorite things to do and what are some of your favorite gadgets and such. Then see if they are available for purchase at Amazon. I am shocked at some of the items they sell. There is a huge variety to choose from. For example, we like to make home made ice cream in the summer time, so I wrote a review about the ice cream maker that I use.

Best Amazon Products to Promote
- Write about a product that is on your wish list. Why do you want it? Why is it such a great product? Who do you know who has one and how do they like it. What will you do with it once you have it?
- Write about one of the top sellers listed on Amazons website. This is a good one, but it can be very competitive because lots of other affiliates do the same thing. But you can still make money on these products because there is tons of traffic. Be sure to pick a product that has 5 star reviews. And do your research. Read some of the reviews on Amazon to see what people like and hate about the product. Also, do a search on hubpages and see how many other people are writing about this product. After doing this, you may decide to pick a different product.
- Write about a topic that you are passionate about. Then go to Amazon and tie in some products that someone might like. For example if you are passionate about horses, you may want to list some books about the subject. Or perhaps list some horse artwork or posters. Someone who love Yoga, may add some yoga mats in their Amazon capsule.
- This is my favorite trick! I like to open my Amazon Orders report and see if anyone has purchased a product that I am not already promoting. This is a huge tip! I noticed that someone purchased an item on my hub and while they were at Amazon, they purchased a few more items. I went to the Amazon and saw that the product they purchased was getting great reviews. So I created a hub about that product and by the following week had two orders.
Amazing Gold Mine (For Amazon Affiliates) Rocks!

Thanks for the comments everyone!

Good info Wendy.
Thanks Brian. :)
You are very kind in writing this hub and helping others. I, for one, will take this lesson for an example. Thank you very much.
Great tips. Thanks
I was thinking about writing a product hub but did not know where to start. Thanks
Thank you all for the kind comments.
Great tips here. Thumbs up!
Thanks Habee
Nice hub with great tips, I think I will surely try at least 2 or 3 of them in the future!
Best wishes
I think finding the "best sellers" are a great way to go. Pick an industry you like, go with it.
Thanks, Wendy. I'm going to try this out--my hubs are all about the free, so it is no wonder nobody buys anything. haha. Already, I have a few ideas in mind. Thanks.
That last tip was just what I needed. Someone recently bought some totally unrelated (to me anyhow) things through my Amazon on InfoBarrel. I had no idea what the product even was used for until I looked it up. So, great advice.
I'm still pretty new here. Trying to find the right groove. I find that the first 10 articles I write somewhere are usually a little wobbly.
Thanks.
great tips, wendy
Thanks forlan!
Still waiting for that first sale, sigh. But I haven't done any actual product hubs, so I'm not expecting much until I get around to that. I really liked your last tip on promoting Amazon items that have sold, but you hadn't specifically promoted. When I do start getting clicks, I will be sure to try that one! Thanks!
Once you start writing product hubs you will start to get results. I started to see results after 20 hubs. :)
Thanks Wendy, Great information. Thanks for sharing.
Your Welcome Treasuresofheaven!

Hi Wendy,
Just came here from your RedGage page.
