It makes total sense when some new product comes out that you need to step in first, so that by the day it hits big news and every affiliate knows about it, it will be old; you'll have more competition by that time and will so need to put in even more weight. Thanks for reminding me. Yes, Yaro.

Market saturation is a big problem. Saturation in combination with a bad economy has dried up sales completely for many niches. I think jobs are a recession resistant niche so I'm trying to promote them on my sites. I agree. Market saturation is a big problem.

Obviously, for various reasons, some people cannot create their own products. However, they can produce a blog with fresh free content. The free content would drive customers toward a proven winner (with or without an email list). It might be the same old thing but it always converts. I don't think that new things always produce a good response. People often like familiar things. For example, the Coca Cola company produced a new version of Coke in the 1980's which didn't do so well. Therefore, they started making "Classic Coke". In my hometown, they overplay classic rock on the radio. However, people like it. I think it's overplayed but it's a proven winner. Finally, I think that fresh free content which directs buyers toward a well known product can be just as good as a fresh new product (in many instances). Therefore, the buyers get something new but also get something with solid reputation. Perhaps there is a way for affiliate marketers to provide new stuff but not necessarily

That way they can be ranking on the search engines for when the product is released. You couldn't do that if you waited until just before the release date - it takes some time to get good rankings.

At the same time you cover your back saying that there are other issues as well, but you don't go into them. With this I am not saying that your product is not good, I bet it is. I also did not see a reply on why you are now affiliating via cb, instead of your till now usual source. Some people will go with old and known products, others with the new products. Maybe those going for the new, have already tried the old, and for whatever reason, it did not work out for them. Whatever reasons - can be anything you want.

Though I would want to agree with what you say, I still feel that there is some part of it where I would disagree. If a product is good and carries value, then you might see a slight dip in sale in the short term. But in the long term it will still give you the same result as any other product. If the products are evaluated for success after some time, the results should measure to be the same and there should not be considerable difference in the performance of the two products.

Besides timing, you must also learn how to nurture your prospects. Not all of your leads will qualify in your marketing campaign; however, you also cannot afford to let go of the unqualified ones, since they can be useful later on.

Being so new may not be as great as waiting a while to see what that product is doing. If you do that you will either join in on the new products cash flow or avoid the heartache of it crushing you. I do feel that timing is crucial, in any product new or old. Whether it is knowing when to jump in or jump out timing is key but it is not always that easy, if it was everyone would be rich.

If you are among the first then you won't benefit the most. Remember why stores compete for the product to be out in their store first because at this time demand is high and you are the only place that they can get it from. So most likely they will get it. When another store have it you are sharing your business. Affiliate marketing is one of those industry where you have to be the first ones. If you are among the first then you won’t benefit the most.

I don't think there's a conclusive argument to made here, but there are definitely some points to consider - - Getting in early and first is good - What product you promote first usually sells better if the products are similar in terms of the need they meet - How you state the offer in each promotion will impact things to a huge degree as well - What one person considers a superior product will not be the same as another, due to different motivations to buy There are too many variables to consider, but lots of good points to make.

If the products were very similar, the one you promoted first to your audience would sell best.... probably by a large margin. You satisfied the need your list had for that type of product with the first endorsement, even if perhaps the second product was far superior. Flawed logic my friend.
