First off. I am a complete noob in Internet Marketing and CPA. Never done anything before and the only thing i am remotely good at, is doing searches on Google.

I have been reading about CPA for about 2 weeks now.. The more I read, the more confused I am.. I haven't a clue on how to start anything! I am still totally clueless as to where should I start off this adventure..

There seems to be a zillion thing to do, to take note, to watch out, to stay away.. that it is making me very hesitant to start anything.. For one, do I:

1. Build a proper website using Wordpress? or make many different 1 page site for the offers?

2. If I am making many these 1-page sites, do I need a SEO-ed domain name for each and everyone of them?

3. Is it advisable for me to drive traffic using PPC now, as a newbie? (I do have a little budget at hand)

4. Can I link / place the CPA Offers directly onto Adwords ads, or do I need the website or 1-page sites?

5. Does CPA Networks allow PPV traffic these days?

6. Where does Keyword Research comes into play in this whole adventure (sorry all, i know this one is really nooby question)?

7. What do people mean when they say "identify your niche"..?


I think I have more questions, but am too confused now to even recall anymore now..

I apologised to anyone who think I shouldn't even be in this forum (since the questions are so noobie), and have wasted your time reading this post.. At the same time, I sincerely thank anyone who took the time, or even point me to some directions.

Thank you!

Hey I've been where you are right now, check the bold below, i'll try to help as much as i can

1. Build a proper website using Wordpress? or make many different 1 page site for the offers?
Not 100% sure what you mean but you will want a different wordpress site for each offer if thats what you mean?
2. If I am making many these 1-page sites, do I need a SEO-ed domain name for each and everyone of them?
Yeah always to try get the keywords for each niche in the domains. If you have some niches that relate in any way you can save money and use subdomains.
3. Is it advisable for me to drive traffic using PPC now, as a newbie? (I do have a little budget at hand)
I would say no. PPC is difficult and you have to know what your doing or you will lose your money quick. I've been doing this for 3 years and never touched PPC though, not really needed because its a lot of ways to get free traffic. Try to find some good wso's that offer free traffic generating methods before you throw money at ppc
4. Can I link / place the CPA Offers directly onto Adwords ads, or do I need the website or 1-page sites?
Yeah, I dont wanna answer this one as I said I've never used adwords before, I would imagine linking to your own landing page would convert better.
5. Does CPA Networks allow PPV traffic these days?
Of course, I would recommend PPV over anything if you absolutely have to buy traffic, networks highly recommend ppv traffic.
6. Where does Keyword Research comes into play in this whole adventure (sorry all, i know this one is really nooby question)?
regarding to ppc? I'll let someone else answer that, hopefully a ppc guy comes in here lol
7. What do people mean when they say "identify your niche"..?
I take that as find something your interested in and become a 'guru' at it.

I think I have more questions, but am too confused now to even recall anymore now..

Hi Areevez,

Thank you for your reply! The info is much helpful!

Primarily, i am confused on the part where what should i DEFINITELY do first.. Should I identify a niche first? or should I decide on the offers first? I guess this will in turn affects the type of website or 1-page site i need to build.. which will in turn decide other little things like domain name etc..

I see people mention "Keyword Research" everywhere, but i do not have an idea how and when this part comes into play? What i mean to say is, if i am going for free traffic, do i do keyword research? if so, should i do it after the offer is decided, and the webpage is done?

I hope the above don't sound as confusing as i am right now..

Thanks

hi flypig,
well i noob to, but i think it will help

4. Can I link / place the CPA Offers directly onto Adwords ads, or do I need the website or 1-page sites?

it depends on what cpa network you are, and the offer. some of them allow , some don't. however you more often will hear that with website converts better. also, don't know how in adwords, but in facebook ads which leads to website is more easily approved.

6. Where does Keyword Research comes into play in this whole adventure (sorry all, i know this one is really nooby question)?

when you place ads, for example in adwords, you need to have keywords related with your offer, after some time you must look up which keywords convert good which bad. then take off bad and ad new one.
when you doing video marketing you must find keywords which has a lot of views, but how possible less competition.
same you do then you creating website. find good keyword, try to get domain with him in it. then you use that and more related keywords when writing articles. it's part of seo. so it's part of being first in google

keyword research you do after you know your niche and found offer you would like to promote. because by doing research you will find out how big competition you have. and sometimes it's more easy to find other product then try to compete(if there are a lot of people how already promote that offer).

Hi Paulius,

Your reply too, is most helpful! At least I am abit clearer on the route to take.. So if I have not miss out anything, the approximate path should be:

1. Finding a niche
2. Look for an Offer
3. Build a website or 1-page site (based on the subject of the Offer)
4. Do keyword research for free traffic generation
5. Fine tune that website based on what keyword work, and what does not

etc..

Hope i did not missed out any important stage..

Thanks!

Hi flypig,

Keep going on. Never give up.

Best of luck

Just remember that CPA is just a traffic monetization strategy. At the heart of it is traffic. Don't confuse yourself into thinking CPA is a completely different system than you have seen before...it's simply taking traffic and converting it with CPA offers!

It's pretty simple!


As for your questions...


1. I would build a proper site with wordpress. Making a multiple page site is extremely easy after you get the hang of wordpress...then you can clone the sites and hit up multiple niches without haven't to start at square one again.

2. You never need an SEO'd domain but it helps. In general, a one page site will be very hard to rank though, so think about getting a decent domain and building a full property on it!

3. I always say no. I would start with easier or free traffic and once you get the hang of CPA and how it works, then get into PPC. PPC is huge, but most people lose money at first, even when they are intermediate marketers!

4. If doing Adwords, you will need your own site and these days you need to dig the offer deeper than ever. Its easier at other PPC engines

5. Sure thing

6. If you are trying to rank organically (SEO) or by bidding for keywords such as through PPC you will want to check out the competition and do some research first.

7. It means know what category and/or demographic you are targeting for your offer. If you are doing a weight loss offer, you will be targeting the weight loss/diet/health niche so you will want to find relevant keywords within that niche.

hi warriors

can someone please briefly give me a definition for what a nichie is all i no is say maybe i am giving yahoo as an example it is a nichie for intertaunment,correct?

Kenster

A niche just means a category. An acai berry weight loss CPA offer is in the health niche. A credit offer is in the debt niche.

The term "niche" itself doesn't have any practical application in the process of CPA marketing. It just means what category you are targeting for your promotion!

Thanks Omid, that was a very enriching read, was very helpful.. but it also kinda raised a little more question inside my head..


Thanks for the encouragement! I will not give up.. i may not have a alot of talent.. perseverance is definitely one of them!

flypig

Hi Kenster!

Thanks! I read a lot of your post and replies..! You always gave very constructive help, and this time its no exception!

I am kinda clearer now where I wanna head off.. think i REALLY got to sit up and just do it.. no use just keep reading stuffs..

What I will do next is identify a niche or category and research the keywords that will help me rank well (to get organic traffic). But i do have a small issue, what do you guys do when u wanna go into a niche which you absolutely have no knowledge or expertise about?

I mean I am looking at the health niche for example, and thinking of doing weight loss.. but i do not know a thing about it.. How do i even start a proper site, and building good content from it, without knowing a single stuff about it?

Really appreciate a little pointer here too..

Thanks!

Kenster

When going into a niche, just start reading up about it. I am a perceived "expert" in many niches...some niches that are 100% female.

Of course I wasn't an expert and am still not an expert, but a little research goes a long way. Becoming an authority is more about how you position and present yourself that about what you know. Of course you need to have a good foundation of knowledge, but that is easily learned thanks to the free flow of info on the internet these days!!

As you continue to delve into a niche, over time you will become an actual expert!

We have all been right where you are now - no question is silly!

Niche research and Keyword research are the foundation from which you build your website.

You can have the most beautiful site with all the right onpage SEO elements; however, if it's not a profitable niche or you don't use the right keywords (the ones that you have a chance to compete with) then you may never be able to grow a business from that site.

Right now, I'm taking a survey on which niches people are interested in. If you take part in the survey, then I will send all the raw data Niche and Keyword Research to you - for free.

It's important to find out which part of this whole industry you love the most, and are good at. You're right, there is so much to learn, you head can just spin to the point you just don't know what to do. Find that one thing and learn how to do it better than anyone else.

That could be a certain tactic, a certain method, or a related service. There are lots of opportunities with Internet marketing...keep searching, keep asking, and most important don't be afraid to jump in and just do it.

Hope that helps - Dawn

Thanks!

I do not think researching for information would be too difficult for me, however, I am poor in writing and have difficulties doing that everyday.. (i really admire people that can write endlessly each and everyday). What are my options when it comes to providing content on my website?

Thanks for the help, guys.. and gals!

I agree with all the experts above. A niche website that would rank well needs to have multiple pages and not just a page.
