For the online marketers that are undecided about if they should feature tangible or digital products, being aware of what affects the sales and profits of each can make the decision easier to make. Tangible items are what you can physically grasp. You use tangible products every day in life. Your healthcare items, your clothing - even the meals that you eat are considered tangible products. You can find millions of tangible products to promote online on sites like Amazon, Wal-Mart, and more. Digital products would fall under the category of those items that can be sent to consumers via their email inbox. Some of those products might be software that can make their marketing life easier. Other products could possibly be movies or video or a PDF file. It’s whatever product you are able to send them through the Internet. Obviously, you can’t deliver clothes to someone’s email inbox however you could deliver an e-course telling customers what clothes they can promote for profit online. The age old question a large number of marketers still ask is, “Which product is likely to make the most in profit - tangible or digital ones?” The answer is whichever product fills a need and there’s a situation where you can get that product in front of the people who need it. Whether you sell tangible or digital products, be a promoting machine and spread the word about the products wherever you go online that permits for that type of promotion. Speak about it every chance you get to land in someone’s email inbox with permission. Remember to put an affiliate link in the newsletter where you’re discussing the product. The main reason for this is because you can find someone some months down the road who clicks on that link and buys the product because it’s sent out on autopilot via an email autoresponder. You’ll earn your percent for the sales no matter when that link is accessed - assuming that the product is still available, so make it easy for the buyer to get to it. Remember that you’re basically acting as a traffic director when you’re in affiliate sales. You merely show the way to the product. What you want to look at no matter which type of product you decide to promote is what the dollar amount in commission is that you’ll make on the product. You may think 50% sounds great versus 10%, but when you do the math, the 50% is for a £10 item, giving you a £5 commission, whereas the 10% is for a £1,000 item - so your commission would grow to £100. You could always do what internet marketers do and promote both tangible and digital products. There are many that complement one another.
