I've been doing Amazon for about 6 months and have some success ($75 to $100 month)

I'm starting to add Clickbank to the mix....as well.... I want to add a couple of CPA/CPL sites too.

Those who do both....which converts for you better and which makes you the most money.....

I would imagine CPA coverts more and makes more....am I wrong???

They both do well just depends what kind of niche you are in....If your in a "how to" niche clickbank does great!

Assuming your niche is not to do with "how to fix something" then yes CPA does great and that's 75% of my income

Thanks...

Ya have any good pointers???

I'm using the vid course profit storm 5 to guide me.....it's a great course but I'll take all the help I can get!!!

My chosen method is to build CPA sites that discuss and promote only EMAIL summit offers (pay about $1.30 or so per lead)....

I only use offers that have banners as i think that banners will help a little with conversion...(but I use SEVERAL text links thru-out article posts that lead back to offer page).

My keywords get around 10k searches a month...

Other than this...I don't know what else to do....I would LOVE to add twitter and FB and YOUtube to the mix but....

I have ten sites (mix of CPA, Amazon, and other Clickbank-like affiliate sites) that I'm trying to promote...

and it's a challenge just focusing on the SEO efforts it takes to market these bad-boys.

Though I'm seriously thinking about DROPPING Amazon from the mix...due to possible legislative issues in the future as well as their payouts TRULY SUCK and I'm not sure if it's worth the hassle....we'll see
Any advice??

So you are planning to ads two methods at a time, Amazon and Clickbank. Its hard to say but why are you switching to Clickbank? I don't think that you can earn more money using Clickbank. Amazon is ok for you. But if you really wanna add two methods at a time, I can suggest you an Affiliate Marketing Training Portal named affilorama.

I like this affiliate program cause it has some awesome affiliate tools such as article compare tools, Google adwords quality Score tools, Google pagerank calculator and so on.

Stay away from these, I know some people might be making money with it, but it's not sustainable. Also they tend to scrape these offers, meaning they just don't pay for all leads.
If you doing strictly SEO focus your efforts on higher paying markets.

Well...it depends.

Some people are making 6 figures in CPA and some are making 6 figures in clickbank. It just depends on how well you do it.

If you look carefully, those making the most money in the IM game are those who are able to combine the two. Solid CPA campaigns coupled with a big IM list which is marketed Clickbank products (Doesn't hurt to have your own product either).

I don't sell anything in my signature...yet

I do not recommend using email submits if your looking long term....but honestly I specialize in social networking, so I believe in building lists and long term relationships with my customers.

Try to offer your customers a CPA offer that really adds value to them or a clickbank offer that can actually help them achieve what they want.

Email submit and zip submits work good with PPV if you do them right from my experience

Thanks...I will check it out....

I may not have a choice with Amazon. Because of Tax Laws, in some states....Amazon IS NOT allowing affiliate promotion. I guessing in the next 2 years Amazon won't allow me to promote for them as my state is thinking about changing the Tax laws as well.

I will also add....that I believe diversity is the name of the game....just doing Amazon, or just doing CPA, just doing CLICKBANK is not GOOD....too many eggs in one basket....

NOW....

I'm able to do these three together because I promote them the same...with small TARGETED websites.... (website layout and type of content is different)

If each one required TOTAL different methods...then I would NOT do all three....as it would stretch me too thin...an I wouldn't be able to focus

And another thing......

Everybody talks about making a "list".....

Ok....I'm playing devils advocate here.....

I get the point of it.......BUT......WHO THE HECK has the TIME to run email campaigns....When your researching, building and promoting sites....


I DON'T build a list......because it seems to me that....YOU WILL SPEND ALL YOUR TIME ....organizing list categories, finding products to promote in emails, WRITING content for your email campaigns OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER again.....

Those who do this.....HOW do you do this....there's only 24 hr's in a day.....and I don't see how anybody can do ALL these responsibilities, keep track of it all and be successful....

I WORK 7 days a week sometimes 12 or more hours a day, just doing my websites...


WHAT AM I MISSING????

Actually,

Creating a list and sending the emails is the easiest and one of the most effective types of internet marketing

You need a good autoresponder like aweber.com or getresponse.com or constantcontact.com

Try searching the forum for a thread about this and you should be fine

Thanks but what about writing the content...I can hire someone...but isn't that expensive??

imback

Content for the emails?

If you are using CPA they include HTML templates and text templates.

For articles and SEO you can hire really cheap freelancer here at the Warrior Forum, odesk, and freelancer, but be sure to get a reputable writer or you are just wasting you money.

derh

thanks....so....


no running around in circles....with list....it's fairly easy....huh....

i need to look into this...
