Starting CPA Marketing on a $500 budget.

Hello Warriors,

I have all my ducks in a row. I have been excepted into Neverblue, Maxbounty, and CPA Bullet. I have a google adwords account, MSN account and Yahoo Marketing Solutions account.

I have about 3 years experience with search engine marketing, but I have never marketed CPA offers. I have some for sure cpa offers that I am ready to start marketing.

I have a $500 dollar budget at the moment and I am ready to go all in. (but wisely). I would like to hear from some of you experienced CPA guys to find out what will be the best way to approach this, on this type of budget. All comments are welcomed.

Also, I am pretty keen with this Adobe After Affects program. I would like to know if any one is using video to drive traffic to their CPA offers.

Thanks so much,

Dee

    Video is a great way to market CPA offers. With YouTube can can drive a lot of free targeted traffic.

    Dee, you can set some budget to test cpa offers using ppc. This is the fastest way to test if the offer has potential or not.

    I don't know if anyone has ever mentioned this, but I purchased an adwords coupon on ebay for $75 for $20, tripling my PPC budget. It only works for new accounts, but the seller sent me the code right away. Try searching on ebay for a code to increase your PPC budget. You sound very organized.

    What I like to do is set up a presell page. You can do a page of how the product helped you and what benefits you got out of it or you can take the bullet points of their sales page and expand on them. Be sure to throw in a negative point or two in there. Like, "there was a lot of reading to do but it was well worth it". Use your imagination

    I then write up an article or two and if I see conversions from it, I then head on over to PPC and write up some relevant ads and use the same keywords I targeted with the article/s and start pulling traffic in. It has proven to be profitable this way for me.

      Wow, Thanks Guys,

      You have all been so helpful. I would like to know has anyone purchased the Video Assassin?



      Due to the fact I am really interested in video marketing, I am thinking about buying this course.

      I mean the potiental of video marketing is HUGE. I realize this, thats why my nose is so open to it.

      Once the product has been created, optin page has been created, marketing is next. This I know.

      To be honest with you guys, I have a salty taste in my mouth when it comes to using Google adwords. I created a product a while ago and only made a total of 13 sales from it over a period of 6-7 months. I was using only google adwords. I am thinking that maybe there is not a big market for it. It was a book about pitbulls.

      Once I started to sell this book, I realized that I can do this. People were actually buying my book about building muscle on pitbulls! Even though the sales were not as I expected. The Fact is I created a product that people were interested in, took out there credit cards and paid for.

      This is the reason why I am considering video marketing for my squeeze pages. The CTR will be way better.

      I know that this thread was about CPA marketing, but i still have not given up on product creation. Just trying to find ways to market better for both CPA offers and Ebooks. Marketing is the key.

      Again thanks guys, and all comments are welcomed.

      Dee

    I use video articles to cpa.

    What I like is that a blog can rank to the top of google and give you traffic that way. A video can rank at the top of google and youtubes search engines.

    So video IMO is where I start for traffic generation. For sure don't leave it out.

    In your first post it sounded like you want to do PPC Marketing to CPA. This can work pretty good. You have a budget of $500 which would get you started.

    Your goal could be to find at least one product that is making you money and gives you an Return on Investment of 100%, so that you become able to double your money more or less and grow your CPA efforts.

    With PCC there are 2 basic ways to start: 1. you can do a pre-sell page on your own or you use 2. direct linking (maybe still with your own domains).

    I would scan your affiliate network for products that you feel good with. Look at the EPC and the network earnings, as well as the payouts. But the first two numbers are more important, because they tell you how much money this product is already making, meaning is it working really good for other affiliates or not. The EPC especially tells you what one click is worth that is send to the offer. This means that you could spend this amount for one user on PPC to break even (given you send the same quality of traffic). So you want to have a high EPC, possibly a good network earning and a product you feel comfortable with.

    Then I would check my competition, what are they doing on the most important PPC keywords. I would get to know my product and my market. And then I personally would test the offer with a tight direct linking campaign (start smaller and grow from there). If I break even or even make money, that's a winner. If I spend 3 times the money of the payout I would get and still make no conversion, I possibly would drop the product.

    If you do it for 5-10 products you should find at least 2 winners to go with. And I would not jump right into the most competitive markets, but also not into those where nobody advertises
