Is there another factor?

7 replies

Hello everybody
After all that reading about CPA offers I decided to take the next step and give that field a try here are my steps :
1-choose a niche I interest in
2-choose a CPA network ( went with adscened media)
3-pick up a good offer (concentrate on CR not below 8%)
4-Search for good keywords (using adwords tool)
5-Design multiple effective landing pages
6-Put E-mail subscribing form on them
7-Do A/B/C split testing (using Voluum) for 5 days!
Advertising : (with medium budget)
8-Create multiple ads on Bing (different titles, texts and keywords)
9-Create FB ads ((different titles, texts and images)
10-Track and analyse the conversions of the multiple ads on each service
"Loosing some money to collect data"
12-concentrate on the highest converting landing page ,title and keywords
13- enlarge the budget for the effective ones.
Will these steps make a return?
I'd be grateful if you could share me your opinions about my steps and tell me if factor or step is missing .
Thank you all

    Prepare for a COSTLY learning curve but if you are focused on LEARNING, you will eventually make a positive ROI.

    The key is not to get discouraged when you lose money over what seems like a very long period of time.

    Keep tweaking your system until your ROI improves

    IMO, and before you "choose a niche" you should try to determine where there is current buying demand in the marketplace.

    Choosing a niche you like tells you nothing about how much demand there might be for that niche. There could be weak demand or little demand at all.

    You want to find prospects that are hot to buy a solution to a common problem. So start at the beginning, by researching niche demand.

        It's called market research. It's easy to do and there are many threads here about it. Search on the phrase and you will find a lot of help. It's about digging into the marketplace and seeing who is buying, what they're buying, who the competition might be, what alternatives already exist, where the prospects are hanging out (so you know where to market), and what needs/wants are going unmet.

        It's important because often your guess or "hunch" about what products might sell are just plain wrong. You need to have the prospects tell you what they want. Then finding a solution and offering it to them is a solid approach.

      This. Start by talking to the (your) AF.

      Getting accepted as a newb is not easy; I am at about a 60/40 for getting accepted/rejected. but once in, (and can ask what offers are working), that is wayyy better than guessing or researching.

      Read up on ways to improve your chances of getting accepted into Affiliate Networks (about half way down the page).
