Out of the 10 products that you pick to promote over time, you will want at least 6 of them to be popular. You want to mix it up so that at least half of what you’re promoting is more competitive. The rest of the products should be up and comers, those products that are newer and building in the Marketplace. CB Engine CB engine shows you the new products and is an excellent tool to use if you want to focus on the new product releases. If you are going to work with ClickBank, which is a good first step into the affiliate arena, CB Engine should be one of the sites you bookmark and use. It has a Brand New Products list, re-listed products with a ton of information to help you make an informed choice about the products you want to promote. Each product, new and re-listed, have graphs and visual representations about the health and viability of the products. There are a couple of ways to go about finding out more about the product or service you are about to promote. First, you can buy the product. Whether it’s digital or tangible, buying and experiencing the product will usually make you a better promoter. However, with 10 products, that can become a bit pricey, so you may want to buy a couple products that you can afford, and look over the sales pages only of the remainder.
