Here are few tips that would help you to choose a good selling affiliate product.The best strategy is to find products that are
already selling well.

Clickbank

Clickbank is grand daddy of digital products affiliate programs.Search the ClickBank Marketplace to find products with
a good gravity score. Gravity is a score that Clickbank assigns to each affiliate product according to their secret formula. It has to do with how many sales and how recently those sales have occurred.

High gravity means that affiliates are making a lot of commissions on sales. Low gravity means that there has not been many sales at all. So the gravity is measure of how success of the product is.

A product with gravity score 50 and 150 is a good to start because it gives you a popular product that doesn’t have fierce affiliate competition.

Check The Market

Monitor what other marketers are promoting.  What offers are you getting in your inbox via the list you have subscribed yourself to. If you are getting a lot of these offers then the probability of making sale with them is also higher. You can ask the seller also about how his product is doing. One who does not answer is not worth promoting. Most of people do come with an honest answer.

Check Website

A view of the sales page would tell you about worthiness of the sales letter that the product you intetend to promote has. ask yourself if  the copygood?  Whether it makes you buy the product or you want to run away from the site.
