I have found a formula that has been working for me with a CPA offer. As of April 4th, 2009, here are my stats:
Week 1 - $110 Week 2 - $160 Week 3 - $230 We have just started Week 4, my weeks are from Sat - Fri and I am at $90 this week. The site has been growing each and every week as you can see and with minimal more promotion from me. Total earnings: $590.00 in 23 days and counting (5/4/09) The site is on track to make over $750 for its first full month. Given all of the great information I have received from the Warrior Forum, I would like to share my blueprint so others can be successful too. Here are the 12 steps that I took and what I did to set things up:
This is the blueprint I used to start generating sales within hours of having my site setup. Please contact me if you have any questions, I would be happy to assist in any way I can. Resources: Keyword Research: Google Keyword Tool: https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal WordTracker Keyword Trend Tool: Free GTrends Tool From Wordtracker Social Bookmarking: Social Marker: Social bookmarking service. Fast tagging and posting to all major social websites - SocialMarker.com Video Submission: TubeMogule: TubeMogul.com | In-Depth Tracking, Analytics for Online Video | Web Video Syndication Hope this helps. |

Great info -
Did you have any trouble getting approved from the CPA networks? Is your traffic from the social bookmarking sites converting? Thanks |

Millnic Media - The Best Affiliate CPA Network *Period* Commission Junction - A Global Leader in Affiliate Marketing, Online Advertising and Search Engine Marketing These both offer CPA programs, but do not give you a hassle when signing up. A lot of the other ones you just have to do a phone interview and give them some information, but so far I have had success getting approved. | |

Very useful 12 steps. I hope I will follow them. The sad part is that many people will read stuff like this say that they are absolutely thrilled about the details step-by-step plan but then again go back to their old ways and never implement what they learned. I hope this will not be the case this time for some people reading this thread.

Yeah I would have to agree with you, I was once one of those people. The Warrior Forum has given me lots of valuable information and what it takes most of the time is to actually apply what you do know. It is amazing once you get moving what you really can do. Thanks for the comment. | |

How exactly does this work: Social bookmarking service. Fast tagging and posting to all major social websites - SocialMarker.com Don't you need to have an account with each of the sites in order to submit the link, how does it get past that issue ? |

Simon,
You will have to set up an account at each of the social bookmark sites that you use in socialmarker.... a little bit of a pain at first but definitely worth it. After that make sure you bookmark all your posts, articles, videos or any other content. |

Thanks Keith!
I am so glad to see you making money with no spending! It can be done so many ways. Yet I keep seeing over and over people getting frustrated and going months without making money and even losing money. I do not know why so many people do not find threads like this one but I will try to point them to it when I can.

A question for you, in step one you said to locate a CPA offer, do you mean apply to various networks, how do you view a CPA offers that are available prior to being approved by a network?

I may have missed something but I don't think you mentioned how this ties into your CPA offer as far as a linking strategy goes. Are you dropping text links at the bottom of each article to a sales page or directly to the offer? Are you putting a link in the video description to your blog, the corresponding keyword article, or directly to the offer? Is your article copy leading people to the offer or just focusing on the keyword?
Bah... I sound like such a newb... probably because I am. Awesome post though! I'm putting the plan into action tonight. I already have my offer and keyword list together. I just need to know what your linking strategy is. Thanks in advance! |

This is a great step by step system to follow for anyone interested in CPA offers. It's simple, yet detailed at the same time. I definitely will let anyone I know who is interested in CPA offers come your way. Keep up the good work.

I would suggest that you join a few CPA networks and then you can select a CPA offer that you would like to market. As yes, as stated by others, the keyword research is the absolute key to being successful. I am putting together a system that shows how I conducted my research. This system can be used for any type of marketing to expose the best keywords to optimize your success.

I was new at one time too, and there are lots of things for me to learn as well. Let me do my best to cover your questions. The video on YouTube will have a link in the text description, it is the first line in the text, and in my video I tell people to clink the link. That takes them to my website which presents the offer, which is free. I have been get a 1:2 ratio. So for every 2 people that visit my website, 1 person goes to the free offer site. Once there, I have been converting at 1:4, so for every 4 people that go, I get a sale or well I make money for them signing up. If you do an article, yes in your resource box, put a link to your websites sales page, just like the video above. The article copy focuses on the keyword, because that is how I get the traffic to the site. The person is looking for my "keyword", therefore, they read my article. I have found that the videos get me instant traffic, while the articles give me longevity to keep the site going. I actually have 2 of my sites on the first page of Google with a competition of 440,000. | |

Hey Benq! Yea alot of people see catchy CPA offers all around them everyday but are not participating in this lucrative industry. ![]() Here is a thread with some helpful links... CPA Offers for Newbies Many CPA offers are a way to get paid without ever selling anthing! Free trials are very popular money makers but you will see that the more you learn, the more ideas you will get to diversify your marketing efforts.

I totally agree with HBP.
I read the ebook that HBP linked and I have purchased a few others along the way. Those ebooks coupled with great posts like this one from Keith, always get the gears going in my head. Learning how to brainstorm and expand the ideas that other affiliates provide to you in various ways is a valuable trait to have. It's what seperates the people that are making a few dollars a day from those that are making a few hundred dollars... or a few thousand dollars a day. My personal sales are still really going slow but I have come up with lots of different ways to boost things. My only problem now is finding the time to set everything in motion. It'll happen though!

Also, why not just get a domain name and redirect them immediately from the video to your CPA offer? (Are you pre-selling the CPA offer on your blog?) Thanks, Johnny | |

Hey xShardx! I can tell you made an adjustment to our biggest Asset...our attitude. Yes definitely try to concentrate on some free methods first without digging your self into a financial hole with PPC testing. Once you find a winner, even if it's a modest one, you can then focus on good keyword research and strategies for PPC. | |

Keith,
Thanks for the great blueprint. Quick question though. Considering I do not have Camtasia, is there another method you would recommend (free) for making the videos? Also, what do you include in the video. You have provided so much so far, but some examples would be great. Thanks in advance. E. |

Video content is usually a PowerPoint presentation with detailed information about my offering. So let's say it is about weight loss. I would have an opening screen with my keyword: All Natural Weight Loss Loss 10 Pounds a Day Then I would cover bullet items about the product: - All natural made with 100% fruit juices - Proven and guaranteed to make you lose 10 pounds a day - Free trial offer worth $50 Just cover the items and entice the person to want to come to your website. You must act today as this is a limited time offer that may already be gone, something like that. Hope this helps. | |

Good tip. Especially with Digg and Stumbleupon. I came across a clever "internship" on a marketing blog once. His free training consisted of giving you great bookmarking advice but he always including HIS sites in his instructions on bookmarking each day along with your own sites. That was really smart. | |

The video is really easy, and you are never on camera, you are just doing a screen capture. Just like a mini commercial for your CPA offer.

There is no ad placement involved. I created a new domain and new site specially for the CPA program. I used a blog and created posts for each keyword and the links go to the CPA offer. | |
