The mindset of many affiliate marketers just amazes me. Product X isn’t new and shiny anymore so they toss it to the curb and stop promoting it. If I had this same mindset, I’d lose out on thousands of dollars a year in income. Before you decide that the great product you were promoting last year isn’t worth your time and effort anymore, you might want to read this article. I am sure it will be quite an eye opener.

About two years ago, or close to it, I started promoting a product that, at the time, was really hot. As a matter of fact, it was so hot that there was an affiliate contest going on for it that I happened to finish in 20th place for. Not too bad considering how many affiliates were promoting it. Well anyway, the product cooled off and suddenly I found that I was just about the only one still promoting it. Everybody else had moved on to greener pastures. But why?

The product was still viable. In other words, it wasn’t outdated. The information in it, even today, still works. As a matter of fact, it just might be the most comprehensive product of its kind that I have seen in many years. The price hasn’t changed, which means that I’m still getting the same commissions that I was getting almost two years ago. The only thing that has changed is that I don’t have as much competition as I did when it first came out. Wow, isn’t that great for me?

This is why I don’t understand why affiliate marketers give up on products after they reach a certain age. Part of the reason is that they believe that the product is outdated, which I just showed is not always the case. But an even bigger part of the reason is that they feel the product is saturated. What they don’t understand is that there are always new people coming online to sell that product to. In my opinion, true saturation is a myth and totally blown out of proportion.

So, before you kick your old product to the curb, check to see if you’re still making sales with it. If you are, it just might be worth it to put a little more promotion into it.

To YOUR Success,
