Okay...here's what I think many aspiring and eventual CPA success marketers would love in a WSO...

1) A simple, single approach to promoting an offer that has always worked and will work today and tomorrow...this would include simple vids/pdf about:

---Method of picking an offer

---Method of testing an offer via 1 paid/1 unpaid traffic source

---Method of measuring offer

---Method of scaling

I think if someone took the time to present a clear, logical case/blueprint, that Warrior would have allegiance for life...

My two cents' anyway...

These forums are crawling with that very information, not to mention paid sites that offer it too.

Sorry Coach...I don't agree with you...no one has taken the "singular" simple idea that goes from Point "A" to Point "B" where a newbie can watch everything done over the shoulder...

Not popular enough man.

Buyers want to see:

"How I made $657,856.13 In 5 Hours Using This Incredibly Stupidly EZ and Crazy Method - Like Taking Candy Away From a Baby!!!"

That's what sells.. LOL

Hate to say it Jeffrey, but you're most likely right...Bright Shiny Object syndrome wins every time....what the heck was I thinking?

Omid

Jeff is right.

But if you search enough in this forum you'll come up with the solutions to your questions! Probably it won't be like "A to B" as you want but keep in mind that "no pain, no gain"!

Honestly, if you were a guru, would you like to reveal your secret to others and increase number of your competitors? Of course not! No guru would do that either you!

The good news is all you need to become a guru is here in this forum for FREE.

You need just to TAKE ACTION. You won't make money by just reading and learning. I've learnt 90% of what I know from tacking action.

Currently I'm helping a warrior to master PPC traffic and I'm seeing that he is making progress. Now he knows how to do keyword research, how to pick an offer, how to write an ad copy, how to set up a campaign, how to track the campaigns and how to make money. The most important lesson that he has learnt is "taking action". Yes, taking action.

He is currently doing what you've read everywhere but the difference between him and you is that he took action and now he is making money from PPC!

This is so true, it doesn't matter how solid the information or guidance you provide someone, unless they are willing to get stuck in and work at it themselves then they will never learn or make money.

You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink.

Jeffrey is right, shiny object syndrome is rampant, most people who jump from method to method will invariably see a new method or guide and before even tesing it out will pick it to pieces and come up with reasons on why it wont work.

A lot of people convince themselves a certain approach is not viable before even trying it out.

I am getting little tired of the "you need to work hard you are not working hard enough" threads B*S*

If I go and scrub my back yard for 12 hours that's hard work but I'll earn nothing. It's never and never will be about "working hard" You have to work at the right things and be smart about it.

THAT's the difference betwen working 12 hours on a shop floor or working 3 hours managing your own company. Who makes the most? Who works the "hardest?" Come on some of you should know better but you sems to feed off each others posts.

Yet I can place $5,000 down on media buys and make $3000+ profits with what 3 minutes work... Is that "hard work?"

So please stop with the B*S* about "hard work" being the only answer. I know people making $200k+ and they are lazy buggers. Just saying.

The funny this is, before I became successful with CPA offers I tried to learn everything first. I felt like I had to know EVERYTHING or I would fail. I wanted step by step instructions so I wouldn't fail. The bad thing about this strategy is that you get analysis paralysis.

One day I just said "screw it" and put up a haphazard campaign promoting some random clickbank offer. I was making it up as went along. Eventually had my "aha!" moment and started to become a believer.

Making mistakes and not knowing exactly what to do can be a good thing. When you make mistakes, you never forget and it serves you well in your future campaigns.

It forces you to be creative. When you discover something on your own, you value it more than if someone just spoon fed it to you.

That was the same with me one way. I first stared and was fast qualified in high ticket item and than I run out off money for advertising and buying leads. I started to learn online marketing and suddenly I was in the learning phase and didn't took action. I start to believe I must know all this skills before I will have success.

Biggest mistake! There is no one right answer for the Internet! You must go out there get your hands dirty and find out what works best for you and using the right marketing tools without spending soooooo much money! Again, everyone has a different technique to get results, just think how everyone cooks their food a different way to create a great meal. Online Marketing and cooking have kind of the same basic to start, but it's up to you how to refine it and make the most out of it.

You are exactly right. You can't just take action and expect everything to fall into place all at once. You could try 10 different traffic methods and FAIL at all of them. Then, one day out of nowhere, you might hit that one method that you are good at and are seeing returns. Then again, it might take you years to find something you are good at.

Yes whenever you are doing things smarter you will always make more money than the people doing it the hard way. This is true in any type of business. The guy/girl running the field of workers will always make more than the worker him/herself.

Doing anything online is FAR from easy. But if you don't work hard in the beginning, you'll never get to the point where you can "know" what you are good at and where you need improvement.

I'm tired of the "just outsource it" or "just take action" mentality myself. But if you never try stuff, you will absolutely NEVER succeed.

jeffrey73

You can also easily lose your ass doing media buys.

The "hard work" is in figuring out what you are doing to begin with.

JasonWestwick

What you describe is not hard work, what you fail to mention are the numerous campaigns that got you there, the time and money you have invested that has enabled you to gain the experience to make these profits.

To get to this level takes action but too many are scared to even throw down $30 on testing an ad nevermind $3000

The actual processes you perform on a day to day basis to create a sustainable income are not necessarily hard, don't get me wrong, the learning process with most paid forms of traffic is steep and can be mentally taxing but from a physical point of view then no, pressing a few buttons on a keyboard and swirling my mouse around isn't difficult.

What was discussed earlier was not necessarily a lack of hard work, more a case of mentality. The vast majority of people want everything now, now, now. They don't want to put the hours in at the gym and in the kitchen to lose weight, they don't want to get up an hour earlier so they have a more productive morning, they don't want to kick the habit etc. and it's the same with IM.

I'm not sure where anyone mentioned "you need to work hard you are not working hard enough" the general concensus was that the people who take action and take risks, put themselves out there, try new things and fail over and over are the ones who are going to succeed.

That might appeal to the newest of the new, but I don't think the majority of those on WF would buy it, I think they want (and deserve) so much more
