How do I make my first commission?

Hey Redza,

It takes a real Mensch to put the hat out the way you have.

I wish I could help, but I've only been doing CPA for about 24 hours.

I did find a link to an incredible amount of free info, which included some info about testing and tracking. I'll add it in later, or if I don't - PM me about it.

Despite the titles of most WSO's you are probably not going to replace an income doing any IM fast enough to solve your current financial problems. The quickest methods seem to involve providing services, either to off-line businesses (such as making websites or doing SEO) or by selling something to other Warriors.


P.S. - I don't know what you mean by 'live' campaign. Can you elaborate.

I know where your coming from with not being able to see results and start making money, I'm just starting to see real income, buying another product and learning more information is not the key to seeing results. The key for me was traffic.

You can make the prettiest landing page in the world, you can have a killer product you are promoting, but if you don't have not targeted traffic you will not make that much money.

Most people say that you should stay away from paying for your traffic but I disagree, by just starting off with a small budget of lets say $25 dollars you can find a website owner or a paid advertising network that you can at least double your daily spend, of course this is not a sure fire deal that you will double your income but once you do start making money with one campaign you can track and increase your income by using sub id's with the keyword in the sub id, that way you can see what was the exact keyword that you are bidding on that is converting, . Buying traffic was the best thing for me because of time.

For me, writing articles can make money as well, but lets be honest you have to write like crazy to get thousands of clicks to your website or LP in a day. I highly recommend start off with low payout offers that convert instead of the higher priced products that require you to spend a good amount before you see a return. Don't be afraid of a broad term if the cost is low, many times you will find that you can get cheap traffic by going after a broad term that is most relevant.

For example: Grab a low paying offer that is very simple for visitors to fill out, lets say one field email or zip submit, go to compete.com and put in the url of the product your promoting to see if the traffic is increasing and how many unique visitor this website receives.

Lets say you are promoting an email submit for a shopping product, and you directly link in the beginning with relevant keywords. On the yahoo content network I've gotten clicks for about 0.03 cents, put in about 500 keywords that are related to shopping and let the campaign run 3-5 times the payout of the offer.

If this offer doesn't convert you can try a new landing page and test again, and if it still doesn't convert you can try another offer. Using this same process. The key with any campaign is just testing until your successful, and keeping an eye on what is working for other people in your marketplace helps as well.

Another thing you can do is write articles for associated content if you low on funds. I highly recommend this, just make sure you talk about your local area and you bring something fresh, so that way the payout will be better. You can also write for other people here in the forum, but whatever you do don't give up, there is always a campaign waiting to be found, make sure you track everything with sub id's and scale up with your highest converting keywords.

my online business is good so far, i earn enough money for my daily needs

Really, you need to pick ONE tactic and work at it until it is profitable. Make sure you do not start a tactic and then in the middle move to another, and then another. Doing one task at a time is the key.

Bozz723 has summed it up in a nutshell

choose one tactic and stick at it

Do not join loads of progs just one and give that a go for a few months.

If I wsa starting again I would join a private forum and get some insider coaching from others

nobody is going to give you a real blueprint or niche

I can send you on the right track if you want. Best thing for you would be to study some PPC (Adwords/Yahoo) and do Pay-Per-Lead advertizing. It's not as difficult as making people take out their credit card, buy something and only then will you get a commission. Stick to something that's easy, 100% white hat and works very well.

Hey glad you thought my guide was helpful!

Yes and start small as you learn the ropes. Most tactics work once you work at them long enough, so as other people said, it will be really tempting to jump around if you dont see immediate success. Just keep in mind that people using the same general tactic are making money so it works, you just need to find out how.

Hi there

I'm really sorry to learn of your circumstances.

Several points to be made. You have 4 options:

1. Pay someone to help you, i.e. mentoring coaching - pro's, motivating, will help you get back on track, will tell you exactly what you need to do etc. con's expensive

2. Use free marketing methods pro's free, not outgoings con's, won't get results quickly

3. Use google ad words - pros instant results, con's, no guarantees and when money has run out what then.

4. Look for alternative income. If you need money now and I mean now, I would urge you to either work part time or full time, work on this business whilst you have an income.

Whatever you decide, and if you do decide to look for an alternative income, DON'T see it as giving up. Because you're not. I set up a business 3 years ago, whilst working part time and looking after a 2 year old. It can be done. I have since sold the business and had extensive media exposure. It is harder, I'm not going to lie, but if you really want it, it will happen.

I wish you the very best of luck, if you want to check out my website www.whoislilachbullock.com I have lots of free marketing methods and an attraction marketing course. I do also provide mentoring and am a professional mentor, but truth be told, doubt you can afford me

You have got to stick with one method and try it for 1-2 weeks. Then evaluate.
