Just wanted to share my experince with everyone here. Maybe some of you had great success with fiverr and maybe some of you have a great get to go guy that delivers. As for me I haven't found one yet. I hire 35 people at 5 dollars a piece. I spend a total of $175 dollars. I did not pay them to complete my cpa offers because that is illegal and if you get caught by peerfly or any other cpa company your account will get closed permanently. I made a great flyer that converts really well. I sent all the people I hire the flyer. They said they were going to distrute them all over college, media centers, the library, etc.. Is been 2 weeks already and not even one sale yet on my cpa account. I think this people just run away with my money and don't even make a flyer. I told them to send me proof, and they took a picture of the flyer in front of the computers and post boards, but who knows, maybe they just put one up as proof and maybe they throw it away. I am not using fiverr for advertising any more. Does anyone know a better way to advertise. Dam I can't believe this 175 dollars down the drain. And I got this idea from a wso special that is still running right now. That was also a waste of money!

    Why won't you do it your self? For example, I'm currently looking to promote gift cards on my local classified web site: Free gift cards | Rogue Valley Ads
    I'm going the same route as you, only I'm not trying to hire anyone, I'd rather do it my self that way I know it's been done.
    You probably right, I don't think those people will bother hang your fliers for $4.

      Yeah you are right. I am goign to find out how much it cost to order 1000 flyers. But I think you need a peddlers license to distribute them accounrding to your county policies? I'm not sure. But with 175 dollars that I waste on fiverr I could of use that money to have some really nice flyers done or maybe advertise in 7search, but then I heard that that doesn't work good either. I wish I knew someone in my area that knew about advertising cpa offers. Knowing someone in person is way better because you leanr more and can ask all the question you want. Stay away for fiverr for advertising. Maybe is great for other things though.

    Fiverr....Does work...you just need to be more creative than the others....Make them take pictures of flyers posts and the locations....and etc is just one step you can take.

      Hey Chad. I guess you didn't read my thread up above. I said that maybe, just maybe, then can easily take a picture of your flyer in different places, just to show you proof that they did the service, but then they might just take it down or throw the flyer away. It a easy scam, if you really thinkg about it. If the flyers would of really work I would of had at least 1 sign up. The offer I pick is just a simple email submit. Plus it has a 17% conversion rate which is excellent. So that just tell me that all of those people who I hire didn't do crap!

        I read it....but creativity is key....I would require a picture of multiple flyers on multiple cars....areas...etc. It also helps to have someone with a proven track record. Check craigslist also.

    I personally created only 500 business cards. Total cost - $10. I'm planning on giving them out at the shopping centers.

      Using drop cards and handing them out to people or just droping them in high traffic areas works well and using pull tab flyers hung at laundry mats, bulletin boards, mall restroom walls, etc. work well to promote cpa offers.

      All the best,

    As Chad said, think outside the box a little, granted there are great sellers who will provide the services you require, as always with fiverr though, it takes a little digging and weeding through the useless to find the gems (reviews will help here.

    Also, most people aren't going to be invested in your business and wont be motivated to wander round all day posting your flyers for $4 (the cut they receive after fiverr takes their cut)

    Think about offering them a % of the profits or better paid work on a more long term basis if there first job is a success.

      I actually hire all the people with good ratings. So I still don't understand why suck a great product didn't convert. Oh well, maybe I'll try Adam Horwitzs Mobile Monopoly clickbank product. I think he advertises cpa through cell phone messages. If you have a good idea that you can share with me that converts very well on cpa offers, please tell me via a pm.

      Thanks!

      I'm sick of not making any money online

      The only money I ever watched on my clickbank account was when I purchased something through my affiliate link, lol. That is sad!

    Fiverr is best used for inexpensive graphics and simple website chores. I would recommend never using it for any kind of advertising regardless of how many positive reviews a person has. It is too simple for people just to take your money. My 2 cents.

      You are absolutely right Paulie. I learn my lesson and I am not going to waste my time anymore paying people on fiverr to advertise my cpa flyers through flyers. I think is better if you just get a beautiful woman who is well spoken, very articulate, to do a video review testimonial for either a cpa offer or a clicbank product, even though I think cpa offers will convert easier.

      Has anyone had any success handing out business card or flyers and converting into money in their peerfly cpa account? How much much money did they profit? Can they share the flyer with me here so I can try to use it with my own affiliate link. Damn why is making money online so hard....

      Everyone talks about the secret to making money is traffic, but no one really teaches you how to get it, they just give you a general idea and you are left to figure it out by yourself...2 years online and I haven't made a penny, except when I purchased a CB product through my own link, lol pitiful Hahahaha.....:p

    I have used a company called TaskRabbit. www.taskrabbit.com. Someone I grew up with started it. You can get people there to do nearly any task and they are all vetted, background checked workers. You will have to pay more than $5, but you get what you pay for. For $175 you probably could have gotten 2 days of work out of someone. Check them out.

    To give an example. My mother needed my grandparents marriage certificate from NYC with all the official seals in order to get her dual citizenship in Ireland. (We live in CA). I had someone from TaskRabbit get the certificate (its a public record anyone can pick up) and go to three government offices to get all the signatures seals etc.

    It took them all day, but they got it done and FedExed it to CA.

    Check it out. Or find someone on Craigslist. If there's a will, there's a way.

    Also, consider the fact that it might have been the flyer. I am not sure what was on the flyer, but maybe it was just not of interest to the target market that you were going after. Especially when you are playing around with different people doing the work give them different flyers, so you can split test them.

    Yes, it is so easy to get the money and run away, specially on fiverr, where anybody can make a fake account, someone from Nigeria/Russia/Japan, can claim to be from Arkansas. Fiverr is good for some but you have to be vey careful when you hire someone to make offline jobs.

    But I thin this little tip can help you:
    Don't you have a nephiew, son, daugther, cousin, brother in law, girlfriend etc, in school?
    Almost everybody have a relative attending to the school, (high-school/University of course).

    And the 99.999999 % has a facebook page or friends attending to another schools, right?

    Instead of wasting my money on fiverr for this,I definitely go with this boy/girl and tell him/her that I will pay them $10 to distribute 'xx' flyiers between their friends.
    Or they can contact their friends and look for someone who wants to earn that money and get the job done.
    Or/and if they have friends that have thousands of friends on facebook and you are offering something really 'cool' for boys and girls like the possiblity to win some iPhone, or pcgame, you are done.

    Remember, as they are person you personally know, you can monitor their job, and get it done. Besides they are targeted "traffic".

    May be in the future i will put all this on a step by step report.
    mmm....what a h.... I already gave to you the idea

      Yeah that's true but I don't want them getting in trouble in school for handing out flyers. Schools this day are very strict and they might come back and sue you.

    Here's the thing.. fivrr is cheap.. $5 is cheap.. if you think the service you are going to get with $5 is going to be good you're probably mistaken.. it's better to spend the money and know you are getting a good service than try to cheap out..

    You got what you pay. For something $5 probably not worth. Nobody going to work hard for $5. You only can expect simple job for $5 at fiverr.

    I'm pretty sure you haven't found the right person to do the job. Since you are using flyers, did you use a domain that can be easily type? People are lazy especially if they have to type it.

    With that $175 you could have bought 10,000 twitter followers and continually marketed to them weekly ...Something to think about.

    For that kind of money you could of had it sent in the local paper as a flyer in the Sunday paper, This way you know your offer is being seen by hundreds and not having to depend on others to do it for you

    exactly only reason someone is selling twitter of FB contacts is because they already saturated them. Save your money on BS like that
