Hustle Hack #6: Choose Your First Affiliate Product
How to Choose Your First Affiliate Product (Without Overwhelm)
The #1 cause of overwhelm for new affiliates? Too many choices.
And too many choices usually means that new affiliates procrastinate and waste valuable time trying to find the perfect affiliate product.
Here's a truth: there IS no perfect product.
But there are products that are right for you. Right now. You just have to follow a proven strategy.
Here’s how to simplify and pick your first product:
1️⃣ Pick what you know. Choose something you’ve used or truly believe in. Don't worry that the thing you love is too narrow. There are affiliate products and audiences for everything. You are not the only one in the world who obsesses over heirloom tomatoes or getting your dog to do a perfect recall.
2️⃣ Pick what solves a real problem. No one buys random stuff. They buy solutions. The heirloom tomato audience may be searching for a wider variety of tomato seeds or your secret fertilizer recipe that doubles your yield.
3️⃣ Pick something evergreen. A product people need year-round = consistent income. Selling the latest "shiny object" in your niche may give you a short-term boost, but that effort will go to waste when the next shiny object comes along.
👉 Don’t overthink it. Start with one solid product, then expand. Learn from it. What does your audience respond to? What messaging resonates with them? What do they tell you about solving their problem?
