Did you know that there are over 1 billion people with Internet access around the world? The online business has such huge potential and is a opportunity not to be missed.

If you are not making good money with your affiliate marketing campaigns then you are not doing some things right. One the things you might be doing wrong is promoting bad products. If you promote products that do not sell well, you will not have a chance of succeeding with it no matter how much you pre-sell or how much traffic you send there.

Picking a winning product is however a problem for many affiliate marketers. They pick products to promote just because some people they know are promoting it.

Here are some tips to pick a winning product that can earn you passive income.

1. Does it give you recurring income?

There are some programs that give you recurring income. Such programs are good for building long term passive income. You only need to put in the effort to sell it once and you get to earn recurring income thereafter. Usually membership sites will provide recurring income.

2. Does the sales page make you want to buy

Take a look at the sales page. Determine if you are tempted to buy the products for yourself. If you are not convinced, there is no way you can convince others to buy. Make sure the sales page look professional and genuine testimonials are given on the website. A professional sales page gives visitors the confidence to buy the products.

3. Do you have knowledge and interest in the product

Trust me, I have tried this before. If you have absolute no clue to what the product is and you have no interest in it, it is difficult to develop a passion to sell this product. Not only will you have no passion, you will not have the confident to sell as well. So choose one product that you are comfortable with.

Once you have a winning product, be determined to make it work for you. Do not give up and keep upgrading your skills. Most importantly, you have to keep trying and you will be well on your way to earning a substantial passive income!
