How I Showed One Ad For Every Person On The Planet

January 19, 2009 · Filed Under Adwords, product launches · Comment 

Some of you know about the product I’m releasing in a few weeks…

It’s coming along well.  A lot of blood sweat and tears has gone into creating this.  My goal is to create something that can really help and energize a lot of people out there who may be strugling right now.

I thought I’d release a sneak peak of something I think is pretty cool.  It’s a screen shot of the kind of traffic I’ve been able to generate using some proprietary techniques and “Formulas”.

Ya I know that’s a lot of money to spend on Advertising….. $0.01 X 29,653,625 Clicks = Well…..I’ll let you figure it out. :)

BUT ONE THING I WANT TO MAKE CLEAR

The product I’m releasing does NOT require PPC advertising… in fact you can generate the same numbers with FREE traffic if you do it the right way.

But it is nice to know that with what I’m going to teach… you could archive these kinds of numbers with PPC if you wanted to.  Your choice.

A Ton of free traffic or a Ton of PPC Traffic.

Man you might as well do both!

Stay tuned for more updates.

Ebay Partner Network Cuts Some Programs – Are You Ready?

January 8, 2009 · Filed Under affiliate marketing, news · Comment 

Saw this in my inbox today…….

Looks like eBay is cutting out the Singapore, Hong Kong and India affiliate programs.

Don’t panic.

These networks haven’t been as profitable anyways. Looks like they want to focus on getting more sellers….. which is great. I’m sure they will bring the programs back someday if things grow in those countries.

Having been to India many times, I can tell you that place is exploding! Think of the U.S. about 7 years ago….. people were saying stuff like, “Why would I want to buy something on the Internet when I can just go to the store.” That’s what a lot of people think over there…… but it will change.

The other point I wanted to make to all you affiliate marketers out there is that I’ve always been a firm believer that you really need to spread your affiliate efforts. The Ebay Partner Network is a GREAT program…… in many ways, it has been more profitable than Adsense for me….. but to put ALL of my efforts into EPN would be suicide.

The truth of the matter is Affiliate programs come and go…… they change all the time. As long as you can keep a nice balance of what you push, you should be safe.

Put all your eggs in one basket and you could go bust.

Are You On The CPA Bandwagon Yet?

January 6, 2009 · Filed Under CPA · 2 Comments 

I know a lot of my readers are affiliate marketers…… but many of them have never really done anything with the CPA networks yet.

What’s a CPA network?

In a nutshell, it’s like an affiliate program but instead of a product, the referral that you get paid on can be an “Action” like filling out a form with personal information or taking a customer survey. Most CPA networks pay out anywhere from 0.25 to $50 per action…. however, many are in the $1 to $2 range.

Sounds like a pretty good deal, right? It can be if you know what you’re doing…… it can also be a frustrating path to take if you are not careful.

First of all, it can be pretty hard to get accepted to many CPA networks. You will want to find the right networks to join.

Here is a site that has a pretty good list of CPA networks……. go can do a Google Search to find more.

I think the biggest thing when joining a CPA network is you really need to treat it like it’s a job interview. These CPA networks have SO many people that are trying to scam them that they really have had to tighten the belt when it comes to accepting new affiliates.

My recommendation is to have a company first and a good website where you are selling yourself and your company as a successful internet marketing company. Sure you can do it on your own without a company…. just have to make sure you can “Sell Yourself”.

Don’t even think about submitting an application ’til you have all the pieces in place. Put yourself in the place of the affiliate manager…… would you accept yourself with what you are about to submit?

Another recommendation is to submit your application and then immediately call the CPA company… tell them who you are and that you want to speak to an account rep. Build a relationship with them right from day one. Most of the time, they will approve you on the spot. The main thing is that they want to make sure you are not going to be sending “Junk” or “Bad” traffic….. (Think major Black Hat tricks….. they are big “no nos”.)

Your account rep is your life-blood of your CPA business. Most of my account reps contact me via email and IM on a daily basis……

Once you are in a CPA network…. well, promoting is a different story. I’ll post another article in the future about ways I like to promote my CPA offers.

I’d like to hear your feedback…. tell me your opinions on the best CPA networks you like to work with.
