Hey, everyone. My name is Mark and this is actually my second post. Nice to meet you all and I'm thrilled to be a part of this forum. Also, Merry Christmas to everyone.

I already see the insane potential; I'm excited! I actually had some questions.

I've read many eBooks and have watched countless videos and I'm just really confused on where to start to get myself moving. Any methods anyone may be able to highly suggest? I'm pretty careful with my money so I don't want to jump straight on a wrong PPC campaign train with no results. I will literally take any method that works best.

Things I've considered were:
1) Peerfly with Admob for CPA campaigns
2) Domain Flipping
3) Marketing CB products with Google AdWords
4) Marketing that Millionaire Society CB product via Peerfly

And if anyone was wondering about who I am, hello I'm Mark. I tried looking for a thread on the forum to introduce myself but I can't really seem to find any threads. I have a background of Web design, IT, and I'm getting started in IM. I am extremely passionate about accomplishing much with this and I seriously hope I'm able to. So may anyone help point me in the right direction? Thanks!

Number 2, isn't very easy. Lots of good domains are sold/used. I would suggest you to start with CPA. Build a landing page and promote it.

smarkymark

Thanks for your reply and yes I was anticipating the second method to be potentially pricey.

Should I do CPA with Peerfly and Admob or CB and AdWords? I personally am trying not to go to AdWords (for now) because I hear the CPC's are expensive and I believe that will exceed my initial budget. But, I do have an account with Peerfly.

Domain flipping isn't great nowadays.. You have to do alot of research and stuff to find good names

Not totally against it but I wouldn't invest my first $100-200 in domain names... it's more like a long term investment

turtle11

Do you own a mobile website or why you want to use admob? If you will sell stuff on your site you dont need ads. It only distracts the customer from your approach to sell the product. So, do you want to earn with ads(e.g. adsense) or CPA(e.g. peerfly)?

Adwords is too expensive to promote. You can find some ways in the forum to promote your site ( e.g. 7search).

smarkymark

Actually the only website I have is the one for my computer repair company which doesn't play any role in my IM endeavors.

I don't have any products to virtually sell, so I was thinking about either going on Clickbank, finding a product that's quite reputable, good gravity, and with a nice commission and promoting it via Media Buying, Solo Ads, AdWords PPC, or Admob PPC...or perhaps get a Peerfly product to promote and market it via Admob PPC mobile ads.

Sorry in advance if there's any confusion.

turtle11

You can also go this way you mentioned. Find a product on Peerfly/cb etc. you like. Lets say you found a good offer for ecigarettes. So you could set up a landingpage, talk about ecigarettes, mention the positive stuff, reviews etc. and post your banner /offer, which brings you money.
There are many ways to promote, though i personally dont think admob or mobile marketing is effective for cpa offers. Its more effective for apps,games etc.
The best way to promote is searchengine marketing and socialmedia marketing.

1) Hard to get right, bigger budget probably required.
2) Know nothing about flipping so I won't BS you.
3) More people have failed and given up with this than any other method.
4) I looked offer vault and couldn't see any millionaire society offer on Peerfly. I'm guessing it's a biz op offer though? If so this is the best of your 4 options but it won't be easy. You're going to be limited in where you can run these types of offers unless you are cloaking (i'm guessing you're not). You also don't have much hope of direct linking unless they have an advertorial lander set up (i'm guessing they don't). Be prepared to create some shifty advertorial landers (or steal some) if you want to compete with the top biz op promoters.

You need to get this idea of methods out of your head and you will feel better... trust me.

Stop reading books and watching videos or you will cripple yourself with negative thoughts and information overload.

This whole game is:

traffic - offer
traffic - lander - offer

Hit up your AM, ask them what offers to run and what traffic sources to run on. If they don't want to help, join a different network or request a new AM.

Once you realize that that's all it is you will need no more ebooks or videos.

Hi, Mark. Thanks for bringing this up. I've been around the IM field for a while, but I recently asked someone for advice on the best investment of $200 regarding a product I have. I appreciate the responses you're getting here; they're quite helpful.

I think you have some more digging to do before making up your mind, you have some initial ideas but you really need to dig deeper in how you plan on making money.

But Really with the ideas listed above it would be difficult to pull off with your budget, IMO you will either need to up your budget or figure a cheaper way to pull it off

smarkymark

Thank you everyone so much for the effort and thoughts. First off, Millionaire Society is a Clickbank product and it looks really good to market. The guy even shows you how to do it. But its just that I wasn't sure if I should really market it. Look up "msociety" in the CB marketplace.

And, I'll probably not touch AdWords PPC soon since its so saturated, pricey, and more tricky. But can you really make like over $1,000/day by marketing mobile based offers or whatever offers CPA networks like Peerfly give you with Admob PPC? Because once I develop a cheaper method to promote (probably via Solo Ads) and actually earn a bit that's when I believe I'll transition on over to Admob PPC because it sounds to me that $100 or $200 isn't even close to what I'm willing to achieve ($1,000 or so/day).

Thanks everyone in advance and I hope you all enjoyed your Christmas!

Domain flipping can be either time consuming or money consuming (depending if y0u outsource), Marketing CLICKBANK via adwords is great but I would consider creating squeeze page for people to opt in for (Free tips, report, video, etc) I would not suggest direct linking or u'll be slapped by Google. And if ur very cautious wit ur money, adword is pricey lesson .

I know you dont have this option listed, but a great way for someone to start when it comes to paid traffic is PPV or facebook. PPV is pretty cheap 0.015 cost per view and u can target the url/keywords you want to target.

smarkymark

Thanks I will definitely look more into PPV! I might get a domain and forward it to my Clickbank URL, too. I'll look for good WSOs on PPV and that does sound pretty cheap.

Btw, awesome profile picture lol

Majin

I have a great success with a niche site promoting a clickbank product, just buy your domain, your hosting and a bit of SEO.

DO NOT try to promote ClickBank offers via Adwords. There is a good chance they could ban your account for life, if they don't like the product.

turtle11

Try to find a niche, which is kind of popular but has not big competition. It would be very hard to promote diet/fitness blogs. There are too many of them.
And don't focus too much on the commission. Better sell 50 products for 5$ than 3 for 25$

rockingcow

Did you contact you Peerfly AM yet and ask them what I told you to ask?

Don't be scared, that is what they are there for.

jeffrey73

You need to keep in mind that PPV is very poor quality of traffic. Trying to direct-link a ClickBank product is most likely going to get you very little ( if any ) sales whatsoever. These users are not in that type of mindset.

What you should be looking to do is get something good to give away for FREE, and then get the users to opt into your email list. You have to give away a LOT of good value before you can expect someone to buy a product from you.

MakeMoneyJames

PPV, Facebook, POF would be good places to start if you are marketing CPA offers. $200 could be enough to make some profit, but if you don't have much knowledge/experience could lose it pretty quickly. You gotta start somewhere!

Matt Attack

If I were you I would honestly save your money and avoid PPC or domain flipping if you're just getting into this.

If you're interested in CPA, an excellent way to start is to start promoting CPA offers in the offline world. There is a lot of good information on this forum about this and if you have any questions feel free to get in touch with me.

smarkymark

Thanks again for everyone's fantastic responses. I have contacted Peerfly to know who is my AM, because it's been a while since I last registered with them.

Unfortunately, they have yet to contact me back but I believe they're just busy celebrating the holidays haha.

I might just make a bunch of videos talking and recommending some CPA offers with links all over the web. There is a really cool guy named "Kenster" (I think) and he wrote an awesome thread about it.

Has anyone had any success with this?

williamrs

Yes, there is a cool guy named Kenster on this forum... if you keep coming here you will certainly see many useful threads from him.

So, if it's from Kenster it's certainly good stuff... However, keep in mind that just because a system is good and is working for others, it doesn't mean you can just read a thread, give the system a shot and start pocketing money. There is always a learning curve and if you decide to take this route you must stay focused and avoid distractions of any kind. The most important lessons are the ones we learn in the practice, so give yourself enough time to learn them.

smarkymark

Yeah you're completely correct. I really am just exploring right now. This forum rocks, seriously.

RedShifted

Does direct linking to offers in general wind up being ineffective?

I've been doing it a ton on youtube and haven't gotten a single conversion yet.
Am definitely going about it wrong I think.

And I might as well recommend youtube as a free way to advertise you really do have to know your stuff though imo. I'm trying to offer free music making project tutorials then eventually plan on getting some type of content locker up for my newer tuts. I know a ton about music so its just one of my niches.

I think with video marketing though it is fairly important to at least know some bluefart methods. Have been reading a lot about how to generate lots of unique impressions and am realizing unless I do some greasing up my vids are likely to really go nowhere. Lots to learn in so little time but just keep at it!

smarkymark

I really wish you the best with your efforts on YouTube. I've heard Video Marketing is an effective strategy; and yes, only if you're doing it correctly.

sonu703

after earning from adsense a lot, domain flipping is working good for me.

mtmjohn

Contact Luke or Corey over at Peerfly, they are cool guys.

I personally suggest you promote cpa offers via free traffic sources (seo, forum, video, social marketing etc). Download this free ebook by Kenster to learn some proven marketing methods - http://www.warriorforum.com/warrior-...ay-easily.html

smarkymark

Well, thank you, John! I actually sent an e-mail via their contact page on Peerfly.com and I remember adding Luke on Skype, but I'll try to do that and thanks for directing me to the free WSO! Have an awesome day

ethel51

I would suggest you to make money with CPA first...
