Where can you find free digital products to resell? Well if you have read my previous article “most profitable digital products“, you’ll know of the most common places affiliates use to find digital products to sell: Clickbank.com and JVzoo.com.
Both these marketplaces offer hundreds of digital products in multiple subject matters. Plus, they are free to promote. All you need is your affiliate link and a marketing strategy.
Why choose digital products? As an affiliate marketer you can choose to promote any product so long as it is attached to an affiliate program which you can join. Digital products are a good choice for affiliates for a couple of good reasons:
- You can sell them anywhere – there’s no limitation to where you can sell a digital product. Anyone with a laptop and internet connection can access a digital product online.
- This means they are much cheaper to deliver than physical products. With a physical product there’s a logistical problem of delivery, international tax, regulations and so on. This incurs more cost and the affiliate earns less as a result.
- Digital products therefore pay more than physical products. There’s also greater costs in manufacturing and handling for physical products; which is another reason they pay less to affiliates.
Free Digital Products To Resell: Choosing A Product
From the thousands of digital products you can sell online it can be difficult to choose which one to promote. Ideally start with a single product and learn how to sell it before moving on to others. One of the biggest mistakes affiliates can make is spreading themselves too thin. A lot of affiliate will quit when nothing seems to be happening for them. But this should be seen as feedback rather than failure. Check out how many affiliates actually succeed.
If you’re already successful as an affiliate, you will know what you’re doing. But if not it’s a good idea to choose a product to promote which will also help you to succeed! Therefore a good product to choose might be a course which helps you learn marketing strategies and learn online advertising techniques.
Free Digital Products To Resell: Marketing Strategies
There’s many ways to promote a digital product online. Here are just a few strategies:
- Blogging – written content can, over time attract a large audience online if you stick with it for long enough
- Video blogging – similar to blogging, a slow, less scalable strategy but a cheap one which can ultimately give you passive sales
- PPC – Pay Per Click advertising platforms such as Google Adwords, Bing, Facebook, YouTube etc. all offer a fast and scalable advertising tactic.
- Social media – you can advertising on social media using both paid and unpaid social media marketing.
If you’re looking for free digital products to resell, it’s also likely that you might choose a cheap or free marketing strategy to promote them. This could be blogging, video blogging (v’logging), niche website building, SEO (search engine optimisation) or social media marketing.
Since these strategies take considerable longer to work than paid marketing, it’s important to choose a digital product which you can create some content around, if you’re going to be creating content to drive traffic to your affiliate product.
This makes product choice all the more important.
Choosing A Product
There’s nothing worse than picking a topic to blog/(create content) about which you have zero interest in. I know because I’ve done it. I found a topic which I thought I could get free traffic for (mushroom harvesting). I did indeed get traffic but I also lost the will to blog on the topic after 6 months! So if you want to sell a digital product, I suggest choosing something in a topic/niche in which you at least have an interest.
It’s also a good idea to choose a product which will help you with your marketing efforts too, especially if you haven’t already had success as an affiliate. You can find these kinds of products on Clickbank in the Category menu once you’re logged in:
And on JVZoo you can do a search for products in the e-commerce and internet marketing category:
