Help! I am in the midst of being sucked into a day job (for at least 3 weeks) that will give me less and less time to build my business. I would like to build income as quickly as possible before I permanently get roped and caged into a cubicle and end up pushing paper again.

I want to jump right into a winning CPA campaign, especially in the areas of health/fitness, dating and/or bizz opportunity. How do I figure out which is a high converting, profitable offer in my areas of interest without going through a long process that I frankly won't have much time to go through.

In other words, could I outsource to someone who would actually identify me a list of "high converting" CPA offers on my networks (currently Maxbounty and Shareasale), and perhaps build me a Landing Page, which would then leave to me only a campaign to drive users to my site.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Sure. Why not?

Just write down the process you were going to go through yourself to determine the best converting offers.

Turn it into a "step 1" "step 2" "step 3" process map ....

Then give it to someone else to do.

If you make it easy to follow you can hire someone off odesk for like $2/hour to do it for you.

Just ask your affiliate manager for top converting offers.

But just because a campaign is doing well on networks doesnt mean you will just "jump right in" and make money. If you are paying for traffic its going to be comeptitive in those niches and your pay out will be lower than "super affilaites" with that network.

Depends on how much you wanna make - and how you get traffic... because if your competiting agaisnt other affilaites with paid traffic sources- they have experience and more money. They will push you out of the ad space until you lose money and leave.

BTW - how and where do you plan on getting traffic from?

That's the key. How and where you get your traffic will make offer A convert at 0% for you and 50% for another person with different traffic sources.

I plan to mostly use offline strategies to drive traffic to a landing page: flyers, classified ads, and perhaps even direct mail if the payout is high enough to justify the expense.

I also plan to use a little PPC for the email/zip offers.

I know next to nothing about using social media to drive the traffic, so I have to understand how that works before I dive into that.

Do you have any thoughts on my strategy?

You can outsource pretty much anything if you provide clear instructions. Offline marketing can be very lucrative, but networks can be picky with that kind of traffic so it's always best to check with your AM first, especially with classified ads.

The AM at MaxBounty told me it was OK.

But, I'm just curious- if I'm using classified ads to drive buyers to my landing page, how would they ever find out? And is it really there business anyway?

Or is it just that they don't want offline methods to have the affiliate link attached?

Thanks for your input!

So, if someone finds this, what would stop them from using it themselves to make money? Sorry im having a hard time understanding.

Yeah, I guess you're right. That is probably the one part that cannot really be outsourced.
