One of the things that you should focus on when starting as an affiliate is to achieve and maintain an EA rank. So, I couldn't really tell which one's better among the two but what you should do first. An EA-qualifying purchase would help you achieve an EA rank immediately and will give you earnings from the TRipleclicks executive pool so I suggest that you should do that first.
After achieving an EA rank, then you could start advertising to be able to promote new affiliates and build your own team although of course, it would be better if you would start advertising right away. For me it's just more important to attain an EA rank first because even if you already have a team of affiliates under you, you can't make the most out of it if you only have an affiliate rank.
