Should I promote someone else's ebook first?

Hi Everyone,

Should I promote someone else's Clickbank product while I am writing one of my own?

It is a very narrow niche and would basically be a How-To guide.

There is only 1 or 2 reasons why people would visit my site:

To read info (small pieces of the larger solution that I would purposely limit to sell something, of course) or to buy an ebook with all the info they would need to fulfill their needs.

So, while I'm in the process of writing this ebook, I figure it will probably take 2-3 weeks, should I promote a different, but will probably be similar to mine, ebook?

I have not purchased this vendor's ebook, mostly because I don't want it to appear that I just re-wrote it, but in my own style.

There's not too many different ways to get rid of the problem that people are looking for a solution for.

It's a classic case of gathering all the info that is offered online for free, if you did all the searching, and compiling it into 1 product.

As for list building, I have no ideas on what to offer people since it is so narrow of a niche.

My main keywords get about 175 exact searches a day along with few hundred more among 3 other sets of keywords. There is very weak competition, that is, if I did my homework correctly.


Sorry, if I'm not being more specific but I have that, being new and guarding my project mentality right now. Hehehe

Also, After 1 day of going live with a very weak website, Google analytics is telling me I received 9 direct traffic visits from 4 unique visitors and it's an exact match .biz domain.
How does that happen?

Thanks, Joe
