There are hundreds, if not thousands, of rewards-based or incentive-based websites on the Internet today. The visitors of these websites are encouraged to sign up to receive payment for doing the following:

• Read Emails
• Complete Offers
• Take Surveys

Why choose a paid email online business for YOUR business instead of SEO, affiliate marketing, PPC, niche marketing, etc.?

Well, for one, there’s no need to write quality content that is a NECESSITY for affiliate product reviews, newsletters, and web pages.

For two, you won’t have to search for a profitable niche. With a paid email online business, the customers come to you; you don’t have to search for them.

For three, you don’t have to bother learning the difficult SEO tricks that are fundamental in getting the high rankings all of these other types of online businesses require.

Also, there are no problems in selecting profitable affiliate programs. Email marketing with paid email websites is one of the easiest and most profitable of any OTHER niche, when you know exactly how to do it.

How are you going to earn money with a Paid Email website?

The break down is actually quite simple. You will create a paid email website, after which, you’ll join CPA networks so you can then set up THEIR offers on your website. These networks will pay you a commission for each and every offer completed by your members.

Remember, to entice your members into completing the offers, you will have to offer payment based off of the commission you’re receiving. I pay my members approximately 50% of the commission I receive, but remember, this is YOUR business, so you can divide that commission any way you want.

A quick break down of the steps:

1. Create a paid email website
2. Join CPA affiliate networks
3. Post their offers on your website
4. Receive commission on offers completed by your members
5. Pay your members their commission

Utilizing Good Scripts for Running a Paid Email Website

Each of the above steps is critically important; however, owning good paid email website scripts is vitally important to the success of your business. Why? Because you will need to manage your offers, your members, and any other marketing related issues you may have from your website administration area.

While this may seem like too huge an undertaking for you if you are unfamiliar with HTML, PHP, MySQL and other functions related to website building – don’t feel discouraged. There are several ways you can use, and successfully build, your paid email website.

If, on the other hand, you are familiar with Internet programming languages, then you may want to build the website yourself. This won’t take a lot of your time if you know the ins and outs of programming. In fact, you could build such a website in a week easily and possibly even faster. The plus in this is it won’t cost you extra money as you begin to get your business started.

If the thought of programming your own website makes you shake with nerves, it’s okay to look at other options. You will, however, have to invest some money in order to have someone else set up your paid email website for you. There are several freelance websites on the net that can assist you in hiring an experienced programmer at, usually, a reasonable cost.

Another possible solution is to find appropriate scripts for sale via the web and purchase them. You may have to do some serious research to locate scripts for sale that match the important aspects your scripts need to have.

After your scripts are ready, it’s time to have a little fun! Most people enjoy creating their domain name, as it is a reflection of them and their business all wrapped up in one. Once you decide on your domain name, you’ll need to select a reliable hosting provider to host your website. This is fairly easy to do with so many choices available in today’s Internet world.

Apply for the Best CPA Affiliate Networks

So, you already have your new website up and running?

The next ingredient toward your success is finding, and setting up, the offers you will present to your members. Before you can do this, however, you should sign up with affiliate networks. Here are some of the best:

* MAXBounty.com - highest paying CPA rates
* CPA Affiliate Network, Cost Per Action Advertising, Affiliate Marketing Programs
* Neverblue CPA Affiliate Network and Global Online Lead Generation Experts
* Cactus Media™
* OfferFusion: The Right Choice for Affiliate Marketing and CPA Advertising

All of the above affiliate networks allow incentive traffic.

You should strive to set up, at a minimum, 15 - 50 different offers for your members. This will allow in a variety of choices so your members have multiple options in selecting the offers they want to use to earn money.

If you’ve done your scripts properly, you’ll have the ability to see which members completed which offers so you can reward them appropriately. This is usually done by appending the so called sub IDs to the offer links. You will receive detailed instructions from your CPA networks on how to set up those offer links with the appropriate sub IDs.

Your scripts should allow you to set up these sub IDs for each CPA network you are promoting. This is important as you will need to be able to perform the offer tracking and crediting correctly. An easy solution is to use your member ID’s or email addresses for the sub ID linked to each offer.

You want to pause the offers that do not convert well and replace them with ones that do work well. This will involve testing them yourself on your own website – so keep a close eye on your offers. Get rid of those that aren’t doing well and keep the ones that convert well for the long term.

Set Up Your Email Marketing System

Money is in the list. Remember that?

Now, it is crucial to build trust with your members so they will feel confident about spending their money at your website.

Give them what they want! And what do your members want? Cash! Give them cash! How? By sending them paid emails in which you will pay them up to $0.05 cents for each email that they read.

Market your CPA offers by email aggressively! Send at least one paid email to your members each day for at least 30 days! Once a link from the paid email is clicked, a member should be paid at least $0.05, and then be redirected to one of your offers. If a member completes the offer, you get paid commission from your affiliate link. Then, you reward your member with cash. This is another place where you need to use those sub ID’s for tracking, so don’t forget!

Market Your Paid Email Website

In order for your website to work how you want it to work, you need to drive visitors directly to your door. You will do this by marketing your website!

There are many online marketing methods where you can drive traffic to a website for free. You can optimize a website for search engines, write and distribute articles, participate in forums, etc., which in turn promotes your website link.

In order to achieve maximum profit, you should set up several versions of landing pages where members can join your website. You need to be able to split test these landing pages and learn which ones converts visitors to subscribers on a more consistent basis.

Once you have tested your landing page and the sales process, it’s time to start your own CPA merchant program so you can maximize your profits! One of the best things about your own affiliate program is you will only pay for subscribers who take any action that you specify.

Here are some CPA networks that allow you to sign up as a merchant and start your own affiliate program:

* MAXBounty.com - highest paying CPA rates
* Rextopia - The Power of Affiliate Marketing
* CPA Affiliate Network, Cost Per Action Advertising, Affiliate Marketing Programs

Manage Your Paid Email Website

Once you have your marketing campaigns up and running, and your visitors signing up as new members, you’ll be surprised how quickly some of them will start completing offers! This is the point you need to learn about managing your website.

You should have a script that allows rewarding members for completing the offers manually from your administrative area. This way, when you receive the statistics of who completed which offers from your CPA networks, you’ll be ready to act.

Your website should allow your members to cash out as soon as they reach your payout limit. It’s also time to collect more information than the basic first name and email addresses you currently should have at this point. I highly suggest you do this before following through on any pay-outs to any of your members.

When you set up your website, you should create several pages that will fully explain your website rules, and a page that answers most frequently asked questions. Your website should also have a Privacy Policy.

A few final words of advice:

• In order to avoid spam complaints, you should respect requests of unsubscribing members from your site as soon as you receive the request.
• You need to support your members so they will continue to support your website, and therefore continue to earn you money. Make a strong effort to answer all emails within 24 hours. Set up the FAQ page to assist in quick resolution of many questions your members may have. This will also save you considerable time in the long run.
• Once your business is making a nice tidy profit, you should consider outsourcing the major tasks to others. This way, you will be free to spend more time in marketing your website, and therefore, making more money for your members and for yourself!

Well, there you have it! I hope that you will be able to take the useful information in this blueprint and turn it around to boost your online revenue, just as I have. Good luck in your online endeavors and my true wish for you is complete success!
