Your niche may lend itself to more to physical products. For example, body building, kids entertainment, gardening or office design.
Here is a quick video that show you how to find physical affiliate products.
You can do a search for any product you like to b an affiliate for and check the bottom of their site to see if they have an affiliate program set up.
Good luck in finding some great products.

P.S. There is a really great WordPress plug in that will feed affiliate product information to your site.

This goes to show that there are more physical products available out there other than Amazon, and EBay.
Good ideas!

Thanks so much, Sheila ~
I’m glad you posted this video. I had no idea that commissions on most physical products is only 3%-15%.
Good affiliate marketing lesson!

Some niches are harder than others.
If you find a product you would really like to promote then contact the company. I would suggest to them that they sign up for Share a Sale and offer their products to affiliates.
I think that more and more companies will be coming on board once they understand that it is to their advantage.

Many of these individual companies fall under one of the major Affiliate Programs like Commission Junction, LinkShare, ShareaSale, etc. The weirdest thing is that although the Program accepts you, sometimes the individual company will reject you.
When you consider the low percentage commission, it seems amazing, but there are marketers online who are affiliates only for physical products and make a really great income.
Thanks for sharing, Sheila.

Hey Sheila – Great video! When I do classes with local retailers I am often asked about affiliate programs for physical products as well. I have found that retail businesses have more of a desire to promote something physical on their sites – even if they don’t handle in the store. Thank you, Michele
