Hey fellow worriors!

I've had a question on my mind for a while now and have to say it's a tough one for me but I'll let you guys think too.

If there were 2 really cool products, one was completely new and hardly anyone has heard of it, and the other product was super popular and already a fortune 500 company. Which one would be the better one to promote as an affiliate and why?

Thanks worriors

I'm really interested to hear what you guys think.

    Try both and compare the results.

    You never know how something will work completely until you test it.

    Until then, it's all speculation.

    In my opinion, you can try both

    New product: You can advertise products on youtube with the exactly keyword
    ==> Because You can easily rank your video on youtube or google search.

    The other: Email marketing, SEO or CPC Ads .... A lot of people have talked about this form

    I see nothing at all interesting in this question, but for the sake of argument.

    The product that you believe you can promote successfully

      Don't feed the beast. You encourage it to come back for more.

    well you can try both, but
    you will need different approach to each product

    I would put the 2nd product as super saturated and lots of big players are already on it..., the new one got a better potential if you have a very good marketing idea ... having said this, whichever way both of them are ok, it's all down on how you advertise/market them.

    Neither of those is a particularly good reason for promoting a product. You should select the product that's the best fit for your subscribers/customers.

    Thanks worriors
    No worries!

    Even though both products are "really cool" . . . the better bet for making money is the already "super popular product." Even though lots of folks may be selling it already, you can always find new audiences and new marketing angles to reach those who may not have been exposed to the product.

    The other "completely new product" that hardly anyone knows may not solve a problem or fulfill a need. Even though it's cool, you don't know that anyone is going to want to buy it. So the better option is to start promoting the proven product with a track record of lots of sales.

    If I'll be sure that new product is really cool then I would venture. I don't like competitors

    Hi there,

    Of course, nothing beats promoting products that you have PASSION doing so. At least you are willing to take efforts for it.

    But if we base on this situation, if I were you, I would promote both, if they are real good products!

    Here are the advantages of each product:

    NEW ONE- Fresh, less competitors
    POPULAR ONE- Popular (of course), Highly valued

    On the other hand, here are each product's disadvantages:

    NEW ONE- Take much time and effort to establish value and credibility
    POPULAR ONE- Lots of competition (It's a popular product, so everyone wants to market it!)

    Since both have pros and cons, why not try promoting both? What's important is you believe in these products, and you know you can make profits from them!

    Good luck!

    From an affiliate's point of view, it doesn't really make much difference. You are still going to have to create the messaging, the campaigns, the strategy and so on. If those are effective you will be able to sell anything, famous or not.
