My Offline CPA Plans....Tell Me What I am Missing!

bsnrjones · 07-26-2011, 08:22 AM

Okay....I thought I would share the plan that I have formulated and will implement next week once I get back in town from a short trip.

I can't claim this is totally original, it has no doubt been influence from multiple forum posts and WSO's from the past.

I call it the "Nail Salon Money Machine"!

Basically I will approach Nail Salons and work out a deal. For 30 days they will hand out a business card with my URL on it that will allow their customer to enter a chance to win a $100 (amount uncertain at this point) gift certificate to their nail salon.

At my site there will be a link (Step One) to the CPA offer for them to complete. There will also be a name/email opt-in box which (Step Two) where they will enter their information to be eligible for the gift certificate drawing.

The only requirement for the gift certificate drawing will be to opt-in - but the CPA offer will be listed like it is required, but I will not be tracking who completes it.

I am looking at mostly email/zip submit offers or short form offers - not free trials at this point.

At the end of the 30 days I will "draw" a name and email address from the hat and that person will win the gift certificate to the nail salon. I will then visit the nail salon and purchase the gift certificate.

So this is a win/win. I get income from the CPA offer, and the salon owner gets the sale of the gift certificate. Plus I am creating a list of females to promote other offers to!

I figure you could probably repeat this at the same salon on a quarterly basis.

This could be scaled up to huge proportions with all the nail salons out there!

Any thoughts from you experts out there?

Something I would probably do is:

1) Make sure that the offer you are giving them allows you "incentivise", otherwise the Network may not be happy about the way you are promoting.

2) let the network Know that you'll be promoting "offline" cause if you get high conversion rates and also all the IP's are from the same area, the will be suspicious that you are not following their terms and conditions

3) Not sure if I understood well but I believe that your page will have the opt in box AND the offer in the same page?? mmm... I guess that will work.

IMHO, I would probably have a page with the optin only (asking only for an email) that way you'll defenitely collect the emails FIRST and then when they optin, I would redirect them to your affiliate link URL (when they confirm their email basically)

I hope that makes sense and helps ya!

Make sure to choose offers that are legit (i.e. an actual product, but then be leary of the rebil as some companies you will call to cancel and they won't and still rebil you months and months down the road)... yeh yeh you have all those easy ipad and iphone etc email submits, but we all know the chance of actually obtaining one is slim to none and the companies will be filling their inboxes with emails 24/7. Last thing you want is for the businesses clientele to start complaining that their getting spammed like crazy or scammed (rebills that won't cancel etc).

Just research your offers well.

I agree with the above post about the simple email submits. Most require major action from the person to get the item offered (ex: complete 5 actions, etc). I would collect the email addresses first them promote some of the free offers (snapfish free prints, hp free post cards, perhaps some as seen on tv offers for cosmetic items etc). These offers have a higher payout for you and also provide a good value for the customer. The nice thing with the list you build is you can promote several of these offers giving you a potential of $10, $20 or more per person on your list as opposed to $1.00 to $2.00 for an email submitt.

Great plan, but the two comments above me are definitely the best way to go, try to find some legit offers, there are a lot around! Email submits really do suck for them and they more than likely will not get what they are entering their email for so things like netflix, free trials(clean and clear, beauty offers, etc) would be perfect.

Yup, like I said above, if your doing CPA offline then I'd stay away from the email/zip submits with businesses. The companies using that info spam (ok they did sign up so it's not really spam lol) inboxes non stop along with all the other hoops you have to jump through to even try to get 1ft near the product lol

.

If you can target legit offers like a good beauty type offer for the salon mentioned above, you won't really run into the issue of clientele complaining to the business about spam and this and that (which will happen with zip/email submits), last thing you want to happen.
