Why join Wealthy Affiliate? Because if you want to make money online, one of the best methods is to emulate someone who has already had the kind of success you want, and copy them. This is more or less true of any business: Why re-invent the wheel from scratch when you can follow a path to success that you know has worked before?

When you start out, you are in “information mode” – you need to make sure that you are getting off to the right start, in the right sort of niche, with the right sort of products. Which is where Wealthy Affiliate comes in and is there to guide you in the right direction.

However, all the information in the world is never going to help you if you never get to put what you have learned into action, and this is the step where most people falter. In order to get past this hurdle, you need systems – meaning not just information but a clear, realistic idea of exactly what to do with it.

The best way to do this is by working with a coach or a mentor. This can make a big difference in your progress – and not only in how much progress you make, but how fast you make it. Which is where I come into play, and together with Wealthy Affiliate you’ll know before you even start that your chances for success are far better than anyone else’s.

A coach can see you falling off a cliff before you can. They have been down the path before you, and they know what potholes and bumps lie ahead so they can guide you around them. This is crucial if you want to learn how to make money online as quickly as possible: Why struggle when you can make it easier on yourself?

At this point, you want to get your business profitable as soon as you can. You have come to realize, through trial and error, that having a coach or mentor will get you there more quickly. Now, all you have to do is pick the right mentor, and the important thing is to choose a mentor who has achieved the kind of success you want.

They will give you the steps, and your job is to follow them. Probably the hardest part will be to stick with it and do all of the steps without allowing yourself to become distracted.

There will be lots of people and programs telling you that they have an easier, faster way but if you start jumping from coach to coach, and program to program, you are only going to slow yourself down. Just focus and you will see results faster.

I can give you the benefit of the experience of someone who has “been there, done that” in Affiliate Marketing, and dramatically shorten the sometimes painful learning curve that comes with learning Internet marketing. If your looking for a way to learn how to get in to internet marketing and how you can benefit from the millions upon millions of people buying on the internet everyday, you search is finally over. I can do several things to shave serious time off of the learning curve.

I focus most of my efforts now with CPA Marketing, I’ve shyed away from Google adwords since I have grown tired of their constantly changing rules and painful costly slapps (hence the google slapp) however I’ve been fortunate enough to have found a much more profitable channel that has far less competition and the majority of affiliate marketers are not doing.

You do not need to be a salesman, I’m living proof of that and you can read all about what I use to do before I found internet marketing on the about me page. The beautiful thing about internet marketing is that your website does the selling for you, and in alot of cases you even bypass that and let the merchant do the selling. Basically there’s only one thing you really have to learn to get good at, and that is driving traffic. And driving targeted traffic.

Most CPA deals waste publishers’ time because they aren’t tested. Instead of offering a deal that has merit, people throw together an ad and a landing page, then try to convince publishers to test.

We ran a CPA deal from a prominent offline training company. Great brand, great reputation, decent ad copy. The CPA margins were excellent, and we were psyched. Because of the company’s size, we allowed it to test on our network, a choice we later regretted.

When we were ready to go, here’s we learned about the real CPA deal:

The company sent us a 92K HTML email graphic that resembled a huge print ad. After users opened the email and waited minutes on a dial-up connection, they saw a big picture of a woman’s head… I’m talking huge. If you want a woman with a big head, this is your ad.

The call to action was buried below the fold, and the size was ridiculous. The company had conducted campaigns on the Internet before, but it is primarily skilled in offline marketing.

The landing page was cluttered with too many choices and was too big. Big graphics, fancy pictures — great for the gang who might be pushed from a TV ad, but a poor choice for Web-driven traffic.

Its tracking was done through WebTrends, amateurish for a company of this size and unreliable.

It took two weeks of meetings and phone calls to clear up all the problems. In the end, we made some money, but the company wasted our time. What should have taken days took weeks.

Remember: Publishers pay with their time. Most CPA deals make the publisher do the dirty work.

Does this scenario sound familiar? It should, because it happens everywhere on the Net. CPA deals are notorious for wasting time. It doesn’t have to be that way.

Good advertising works when it has been tested. Online advertisers make critical mistakes by sending out untested creative. They waste the time of the publisher and, ultimately, the customers we are all targeting.

Bad CPA programs undermine the results of other CPA programs. Bad advertising weighs down the whole industry.

Which is why you need to benchmark your CPA. Prove to yourself that your offer works before convincing others to test your ad.

Benchmarking CPA deals is more common offline than online. Companies will spend a bit of money up front to prove an ad is pulling the right response and ultimately generating orders.

This practice is much easier online, yet few do it. Here’s how you can set up a simple CPA benchmark to prove the value of your offer. Before beginning, keep in mind that all the various tracking systems on the Internet confuse the issue of benchmarking. If you compare your numbers to someone else’s, you will almost always be off by 10 to 15 percent.

In my network, we benchmark deals with specific rules. Pop-unders are served only once daily to users so we don’t annoy them. Therefore, we benchmark how many unique visitors see our ad, how many click, and how many convert.

This is a much smaller number than we would get if we bought pop-unders by total impressions, with users seeing the ad multiple times a day. Yet this number — and rule — works for this specific offer. But comparing my numbers to ones generated by someone using DoubleClick (which serves multiple pops per user), we’ll show entirely different results.

Understand that as an advertiser, your scenarios are based on certain assumptions. It is up to you to prove those assumptions. Here’s how:

Set up your CPA campaign creative, and test it on a variety of Web sites or email lists by paying for them. That’s right, pay to test your CPA. Why should publishers pay to test your ad?

Buy ads in small sections of sites, or buy clicks from Overture to test your offer. It is amazing how much testing you can do for $500 — money well spent if you are serious about your campaign.

Test the conversion of your offer and your landing page. Developing good emails and banners is not as hard as developing a great page that converts.

Keep your landing page focused on your specific offer and aim for a 2 percent conversion. That is a lofty goal, and you’ll likely get closer to 1 percent, but if you can prove a fairly consistent 2 percent conversion, you have a winner.

If you can prove an adequate response, make sure you note the specific conditions you need that ad to run under. You may be targeting ads by geographic location — make sure you include that as part of the written request for your CPA deals. Let the publisher understand how your ad works. Don’t leave this to chance.

Establish open rates, click-throughs, conversions, and other applicable data you need to measure success. Once you get a test scenario that seems to work, go to CPA publishers with a proven deal.

Take the time and effort to develop a good sales process that is tested. When you call publishers with your next CPA deal, they will value you as someone who is prepared to back up his bluster and numbers with tested results.

Cynical marketers who like to poke holes in any solution will say benchmarking is impossible, comparing sites is crazy, and the only real test is in the delivery of your ad to that audience.

That may work for you, but it doesn’t work for the publisher. Benchmark your CPA deals, and help us all save time and money.

Show me a deal that can work, and I’ll act on it. Show me a deal you haven’t tested, and you won’t get another chance.

Publishers generally make more money from CPA deals that work than from cost-per-thousand (CPM) deals. But it’s up to you to prove it — to show me, the publisher, the money.

Technorati Tags: Everything, Know, Marketing, Need

Tip #1 – Test Multiple Affiliates

Most people only test one affiliate when they setup an affiliate campaign. Instead, to maximize your payout, it’s important to test multiple affiliates.

Try selling physical products as well as informational products. Try CPA offers as well as pay per sale offers. In short, test to see what gives you the highest return.

Tip #2 – Build a List

It’s been said again and again. The money is in the list.

If you don’t build a list, 99% or more of all your visitors will simply leave your page without buying. However, if you get 30% of them to sign up for your email list, you can continue to market to them until they buy.

Even if they don’t buy, you can sell them products from all kinds of other affiliates.

Tip #3 – Try Affiliate Mini Sites

Instead of trying to build a huge website marketing affiliate products, people often find that affiliate mini sites work very well.

A mini site is a small website used to increase conversions between your traffic and your offer. For example, if you bought a PPC ad and tried to funnel it straight to your affiliate link, chances are it won’t convert.

However, if you forwarded the traffic over to just a one page website then over to the merchant’s page, often times it will convert.

Tip #4 – Expand Your Traffic Sources

As the web develops, more and more traffic sources will surface. For example, most affiliate marketers are still stuck playing just the PPC game. On the other hand, marketers are making millions by marketing on Facebook or other social networking sites.

Get creative. Don’t stop learning about and trying new sources of traffic.

Tip #5 – Don’t Just Look at Payouts

Payout actually isn’t the most important number. Conversions are important too, but it’s not the most important number either.

The most important number is your Earnings Per Click, or EPC. For example, if you make $20 for every 100 visitors you send over, then your EPC is $0.20.

The higher your EPC is, the better your affiliates are performing. The EPC is the perfect gauge of how much money you’re making and it takes into account both the payout and conversion rate.

Tip #6 – Look for Continuity or High End Products

You can get paid for selling a $20 product or you can get paid for selling a $2,000 product. Which would you rather put your work into?

You can do your affiliate work and get paid once, or you can do your work once and get paid many times. Which would you rather do?

Look for high ticket items or items with continuity to promote. It will pay off.

Tip #7 – Keep Testing

Never get complacent. The top marketers make all their money by continually testing and testing their products and offers.

Keep testing your ads, your landing pages, your offers, etc.

If you follow these seven tips, you’ll quickly find yourself among the top 1% of all affiliate marketers who make money. Most marketers just don’t put in the work to really make money in this business. If you do the work, you’ll take home the paycheck.

You hear it everyday if you hang out at the top forums online. It goes something like this. “If you want to really have success online, you need to…” and fill in the blanks. You know what I’m talking about. Some hotshot marketer comes out with his “bible” of how to market and the herd goes running off to try these methods without giving any thought to what they’re actually doing or if these methods will even fit in with their current business model. It’s like sheep to the slaughter. Maybe I should have titled this article, “Stop Being A Sheep.” I don’t know. Either one is pretty bad.

So anyway, are you? Is this what you do? You go read a forum post or one of my articles and then go off to conquer the world with your newfound knowledge? Hey, don’t get me wrong. If somebody with experience shares his wisdom with you, trying it out is fine. However, it’s important that you understand what it is you’re doing and why you’re doing it. If you read an article on CPA networks and have no interest in CPA, why would you bother doing it? Do you even have a website that will get approved by a CPA company? That’s right, you have to get approved. They don’t just let you promote CPA offers.

Too many marketers get caught up in the hype of the “flavor of the day”, dive in head first and don’t really take the time to see if this new thing fits in with their current business model or is even something that they have the skill to do. Somebody who reads an article on how much money you can make as a copywriter who then goes out to get clients before he even learns HOW to write copy, is just looking for trouble. On top of that, if you try everything under the sun, you’re going to spread yourself so thin you won’t get anything done.

So stop being a puppet. Sit down and make a game plan and only do the things that will fit into that game plan. Don’t buy a book on AdWords if you have no intention of using pay per click advertising or don’t have two nickels to rub together. Use your head.

CPA marketing is more than just an internet marketing hype. There is real money to be made but the learning curve can be quite steep.

What’s CPA Marketing?

It’s a form of internet marketing when you get paid by advertisers and companies for clicks, leads and sales you sent to them. It’s easier then affiliate marketing as visitors to your website do not necessarily have to make a purchase. I decide to embark into CPA marketing after trying with little success affiliate marketing for 2 years.

It’s common to see CPA marketers using PPC campaigns to generate income. The advantage of PPC is the ability to make instant money as you pay for your website exposure. The disadvantage is it can drain your finances if it’s not managed properly. There are people who make more loses than earnings. Furthermore with PPC, you need a substantial capital to begin your campaign.

As I am not prepared to take the risk in PPC, I decided to look for a CPA program that will teach me how to start a CPA campaign and start making money without spending any money. I did my research on other CPA program like Zero Friction Marketing and CPA Arbitage, both program sounds very promising but I am not prepared to spend money on Adwords ( the technique recommended in their program). That’s what attracted me to Loot4leads. Even though there is a section for people who want to do PPC campaign, a large section of the guide shows me how to use CPA marketing to generate permanent, long term income at minimum cost.

There are many strategies documented in the program, each strategy are easy to follow. It is said that sometimes you only need one idea to be successful. I have found more than one useful strategies in Loot4leads. I had immediately results from the Poll techniques in article marketing. It was easy to implement, all I did was follow the steps given, find a hot trending topic and attach a poll relating to the topic and insert my CPA affiliate links in it. And it works!

Poll technique is one of the many useful strategies taught in Loot4leads. The other strategies include building mini sites, content unlocker, incentive offers and many others. There are also a guide to how to build traffic and readymade 1 page mini site templates for members to use.

The communities in the forum are very friendly and helpful too. Deez the creator of Loot4leads is always on hand to help anyone with their campaign. The forum is also a good place to get updates on new CPA offers, new strategies and internet marketing tips.

Sound too good to be true? It almost is, but it’s completely legitimate, and experienced marketers have been making fortunes with it for years. What is this mystery technique? Media buys.

The term “media buys” is far from new. For many years, it has been used to describe the process of purchasing advertising in traditional print magazines and newspapers, or on radio and television. Although these are still perfectly viable advertising mediums, the Internet is the new hot commodity in the advertising market, and holds opportunities for marketers without the deep pockets needed to advertise elsewhere.

Essentially, “media buys” involve buying banner advertising space on websites, with the cost depending on the website’s prominence and traffic, the size of the advertising campaign, the times at which the banners are to be displayed, and other criteria. Payment for these ad campaigns is usually calculated on the basis of “CPM” (cost per thousand impressions), meaning that unlike PPC, where you are paying each time your ad is clicked, you are paying a set rate whenever a visitor sees your ad. Depending on the ad rates, you could end up getting very cheap clicks.

Traditionally, advertisers have had to pay advertising agencies to design advertising campaigns for them. However, many companies with affiliate programs are now providing their affiliates with pre-made banner ads in various different standard sizes for free, either directly or through an affiliate network.

As the affiliate, this means that all you have to do do get started promoting affiliate and CPA offers with banners is literally cut and paste a snippet of code. Cut, paste, and you’re done – no need to wrack your brain to come up with ad copy, spend hours in Photoshop or write any code. It has all been done for you.

Of course, just like any other kind of offer promotion, there are tricks of the trade that substantially increase your odds of success, and while you can simply jump in and hope for the best, you are far better off learning from a professional who has tested and tweaked techniques for maximum profits. The Zero Friction course will show you the ins and outs of media buys and allow you to hit the ground running with confidence.

Many use this method for simply driving traffic to their website or a landing page where they try to entice the visitor to sign up for a freebie of some kind.

But… there’s more than one PPC option available.

Here’s one successful method that you may not be aware of however, it’s not easy to master & simple mistakes can cost you dearly but if you persist and crack the formula, the rewards can be great.

I refer to pay per click to cost per acquisition (CPC to CPA ) method, usually described as CPA marketing.

This a much less known strategy and the key is to drive traffic (lots of it) to specific CPA sites where the visitor is offered something like a chance to win a substantial prize or a free gift of some sort in return for some information such as an email address, phone number, your name, your postcode, etc.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

If you, the affiliate, send traffic to a CPA site and the visitors actually do what the advertiser (CPA site) wants them to do, ie provide some specific information, the advertiser pays you a fee for that action.

The visitor does not actually buy anything so they’re more inclined to do something.

Although it’s one of those pay per click programs that many are not aware of, the method is not new to the internet. Every day there’s more CPA networks being established which indicates that there here to stay for quite awhile.

And that’s good news for you affiliates as this is one of the best online opportunities around & can be extremely profitable.

These are some of the most lucrative opportunities on the net today.

THERE’S A TRICK TO IT…

When creating a CPA campaign one needs to plan it out & construct it in the correct sequence & manner or it’s guaranteed to fail. If you can think outside the square, you’ll be ahead of the pack.

5 TIPS FOR A GOOD START…

- You need to think like your traffic does & source offers that appeal to your target market.

- You’ll need to split test absolutely everything and keep a sharp eye on your costs. For example, if you’re using Google as your pay per click firm, set a daily budget that you can cope with.

- Test & measure everything. One of the most important activities when running a campaign but also one of the most neglected.

- Maximise your opportunities. Check out lots of CPA networks and sign up to as many as you can. This will give you lots of options over a diverse range of products.

- Get your creative juices flowing. As affiliate marketers become more aware of CPA marketing, you’ll need to move quicker to stay in front. One way to do that is to think differently.

Try to come up with innovate ideas & promotions that set you apart.

DO WHAT OTHERS DON’T…

By targeting less popular search terms & long tailed keywords (generally keyword phrases with 3 or more words) you can pick up that ‘un noticed’ traffic that slips past most affiliate marketers.

This method keeps your cost done & is a primary ingredient to successful pay per click programs IT’S

ALL ABOUT TRAFFIC & PLENTY OF IT…

With the average payout by advertisers of $1.00 to $1.50 per action, low cost traffic is the operative word here.

For a campaign to succeed you need thousands of laser targeted keywords and a ton of cheap traffic to your CPA networks. Not having enough keywords and or not keeping your cost in check, can kill any campaign very quickly.

So… if you learn & understand one of the most unique & secretive pay per click programs around, you can earn yourself a tidy income.

There is a great benefit to only having to manage an advertising account to make money. It frees up creativity to brainstorm new ways to make money. It saves time in activities that don’t really add to the bottom line. And, it can be a lot of fun!

What Third Party Sites Can You Use?

Practically any site with a ton of traffic is going to work for CPA advertising, as long as it doesn’t violate the terms of the service agreement. Some Internet marketers are exploring Youtube, by paying to get links, screenshots, or promotions on popular videos. Any place there is a spot to put a link, and there is nothing in the service agreement that says you can’t put a promotion there, you can use.

Others seek out major search engines and try to leverage their advertising power with CPA networks. That way, they don’t drive traffic directly to their website, using a Google Adwords or Adsense campaign, instead they use a PPC-to-CPA strategy, that’s “pay-per-click to cost-per-action.” Yes, it does take some upfront money to start these types of campaigns, but it’s easy to evaluate the return on the investment fairly quickly too. This makes it ideal to change and tweak the campaigns, even while they’re ongoing!
Social Networking Sites Increasingly Being Explored

The newest members of the Internet community, social networking sites, provide a very interesting platform for targeted ads. Facebook sells Social Ads that can be targeted to finely tuned demographics. You can buy ads and send them to your CPA offer too, if it doesn’t violate the terms of service. Some people make a lot of money with Social Ads and they don’t even keep a profile in Facebook, they just buy ads! Of course, those ads are promoting offers that make them money in the long run, but it can be a quite ingenious model that doesn’t even need a website to perform well.

MySpace is another option that Internet marketers have researched and implemented. There are tons of different social networking sites, and it’s just a matter of figuring new strategies to hit the mother lode. With so many new possibilities, there’s bound to be some undiscovered technique that leads to treasure, regardless of whether you know a single line of HTML code or not. And, it’s all just waiting for you at the tip of your fingers for the smart Internet entrepreneur. And, all it takes is a little ingenuity and some knowledge of CPA networks.

The Benefits Of CPA Networks

CPA stands for “cost-per-action” and is a model of performance-based affiliate advertising. In this model, advertisers don’t pay for clicks or impressions, they pay by the action requested, which can be to generate a lead or a sale. Even though CPA networks have less market share than typical affiliate programs, like pay-per-click models, they are slowly expanding that as both publishers and advertisers begin to understand the many benefits that CPA networks can offer them.

In a recession, people are less likely to have money in their pockets, so they may not be shopping. That means that the return on investment for ad campaigns has dropped. If they drop significantly, online companies cut their advertising budgets because they can’t determine from traditional models, whether they money spent is really giving them a good return on their investment. But, with CPA networks, they can pay for cost-per-action and so continue to create ad campaigns that work for them and for the publishers.

Benefits For Publishers

Publishers can a myriad of benefits too! With CPA networks they can:

l Avoid Website Development – They don’t necessarily have to even have a website to implement the CPA network offer, although they can be a good intermediary for some third party sites.

l Eliminate Designing Landing Pages – With or without a website, the need to create landing pages falls mainly with the affiliate advertiser. That’s because they are paying for an action carried out on their site, not for a click or an impression.

l Reduced Learning Curve – Since you don’t have to have landing pages, websites, or even code a web page if you don’t want to, you have more time to devote to finding relevant CPA offers and generating strategies that make money.

l Higher Commissions – Clicks can get you a few cents per visitor, but CPA offers range from $1 to $50 per lead or sale. With a much higher payout available, the potential to make money is easier.

Benefits For Advertisers

l Pay For Performance – They don’t have to pay for clicks that may or may not lead to a sale or a lead. Instead, they pay for an action that will definitely develop a lead or a sale. This way, they can a quantifiable return on investment, unlike other models.

l Easier To Budget – Since the model is based on performance, and that performance can be a sale, they can easily budget money for advertising and know they aren’t wasting it. They can figure out how much profit they make on a sale and how much their campaign costs to generate that sale, and then realize better and better ways to increase profits, with little to no risk of losing their principal investment with no return.

l Fraud Prevention – CPA networks are not subject to click fraud like pay-per-click models. And, the members are vetted by CPA administrators intent on providing value to both publishers and affiliate advertisers. So, there is far less risk involved with established CPA networks.

The absolute most basic secret to successful affiliate marketing is understanding it, how it works, and what it can do for you. This may seem very basic and trivial, but the keys to affiliate marketing and the secrets to making money from home are not as simple as they appear. Luckily, they can be explained and understood so that you can make the income you want from home and find successful marketing strategies.

Reselling programs, also known as affiliate programs, are basic concepts of utilizing a company’s products and marketing them yourself. You are given the rights to “resell” the product and make a commission from the sales. However, to be a successful reseller, you don’t have to be a salesperson. All you have to do is be a successful referrer.

If you want to create an online business that can work well for you without having to work it too hard, reseller programs are a definite plus. They are creating successful online business for millions of people worldwide. They are easily operable from nearly anywhere in the world and with the power of internet marketing, offer a reasonable start up business for just about anyone.

PAY PER SALE -2nd “secret to successful affiliate marketing”

These are very basic and easy to understand programs. It is your job to get visitors to your website so that the customer has a chance to make a sale. For every sale you receive a commission. Commissions vary by reseller program, so you might want to research various programs before deciding on one to ensure you are getting the highest commission possible for your efforts.

PAY PER CLICK -3rd “secret to successful affiliate marketing”

These reseller programs reward you simply for sending the visitor to your site irregardless of whether they make a purchase or not. The commission rates are low, usually not exceeding about fifteen cents or so per click, but with enough traffic, these reseller programs can add up into a nice stream of income. Again, make sure you do your homework. If you have two comparable reseller programs available and one pays ten cents and the other pays fifteen cents, wouldn’t it make sense to go with the higher earnings?

PAY PER LEAD -4th “secret to successful affiliate marketing”

These reseller programs offer a small commission, usually a few dollars, for sending traffic to the site and having them fill out information about themselves. This information is then used to determine what kind of business lead they are and allows the company to do the contacting and selling of the actual product. Pay per click and pay per lead reseller programs do not require your traffic to make purchases, which in turn makes it easier for you to receive a commission from these programs. The commission of course in these reseller programs will be lower than those of pay per sale commissions, but you are getting a much higher frequency rate of visitors who will do what you need them to do in order to receive a commission.

TWO TIER – 5th “secret to successful affiliate marketing”

Two tier affiliate and reseller programs offer a little more compensation for a little more effort. You receive a commission on the sales generated on your website, but you also receive a commission generated on the web sites of those who you introduced to the program. Now you are sending traffic to your website and you are building a down line of people who are doing the same. This is the network marketing side of reseller programs and many of them have produced some highly successful individuals.

BOUNTY – 5th “secret to successful affiliate marketing”

The bounty commission structure for reseller programs are one time fees paid to you for finding people to make purchases on the website. These reseller programs are most effective for products that resemble services such as credit card companies, insurance companies, real estate, automobile, and mortgage companies. While these reseller programs can be highly successful, their one drawback is that there is no residual income opportunity. Most other reseller programs are designed to allow you to build a fairly large network of people and make residual income as well as new user income.

Why is it important to understand the different types of reseller programs? Mainly because the secret to being successful at them is to understand how to capitalize on the opportunity. When you understand how reseller programs work and which type will work best for you, then you no longer have to waste time wandering around the internet looking for something that you think you can do. Rather, you can hone your skills in one area and begin you reseller program of choice with your bases covered.

REMOTE MARKETING – 6th “secret to successful affiliate marketing”

Understanding how remote marketing works will also aid you in your success with your reseller program. Remote marketing is based on the idea that one person in one location anywhere in the world can market to absolutely anyone else as long as they have internet access.

It is often said that the first three secrets to a successful business is location, location, location. Reseller programs and internet marketing are making that statement obsolete.

Remote marketing also allows you to take your success with you.
