Finding Best-Selling And Trending Items for Your Topic
There are two VERY easy ways of searching for the product(s) you want to promote.

Let’s break them down:
Finding the Best Sellers of a Specific Type of Product
You probably already spotted the ‘Best Seller’ label on products in your own Amazon search results.
And that’s basically it. Just search for a general product type and locate the Best Sellers. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown, using humidifiers as an example.
1) Do a search

Finding the Right Products and Niche
Not every niche is a good one.
The key to boosting your income as an Amazon Associate is to promote the right products that work for you, your readers, and followers.
Not every niche is a good one.
How to Identify and Define Your Niche
One of the first questions that Amazon Associates face is this one: Should I create an affiliate site based on a niche that I’m passionate about? Do I choose one that earns high commissions?
1. What about High-value Products in Affiliate Marketing?
As an Amazon Associate, you earn a percentage of the sales value as your commission. When you promote products that have higher selling prices, your commissions are likely to increase.
For example, if you earn 10% commission promoting a product, then you can earn £20 by selling just one product that is worth £200. On the other hand, when you promote a product worth £2, you have to get 100 of your followers to purchase this product to make the same £20 commission.
2. Evergreen Products
Evergreen products sell for years, irrespective of trends. It may be best to identify a few evergreen products in your niche and create posts promoting them. These posts could continue earning commissions for you, from the initial effort you put in.
3. Prime Products

The ease of purchase and shipping times play a crucial role in influencing purchase decisions. While searching for products to promote, it may be a good idea to look for Prime-eligible products so that Prime users will benefit from their prime subscription and complete the purchase.
4. In-demand Products
An easy way to find products that are in demand is to check reviews. Products that have a large number of reviews (usually 50 or more) are considered good products that are likely to sell more.

Apart from checking the number of reviews, focus on the review date. This gives you an idea of a product’s sales frequency and you can determine whether the product is likely to sell now or is no longer in demand.
5. Find Out What Your Competitors are Promoting
Head to your competitor’s affiliate sites to get an idea of the products they’re promoting. For example, let’s say you have a photography blog – check out
other popular photography affiliate sites to get an idea of the content and the products they are promoting.
This can give you an idea of products that you can promote on your site.
