    yeah
    blogging with CPA is good and
    CPA with list building is like a cherry in the cake....
    CPA is also possible with having one splash page to be shown to your targeted audience but a blog shows your writing skill.
    CPA is available on both blogging and email marketing...
    if u have a huge list of subscribers, you can earn like a pro....
    any doubt

      Well ...

      CPA obviously requires less to start with so that's probably the reason you got into it.

      But if you had some pretty decent results with CPA, I really suggest going after building a massive following through your blog and build your list at the same time...

      If you do things right, in 3-6 months you will literally have a f*cking money machine lol.

      If you want to go on things outside CPA niche, which i don't recommend because you already have a expertise zone so why would you .... but if you do that it's more harder to get momentum ... still doable though.

      Also, It depends on how much you invest and stuff

      Hope that Helps.

      I have done ALL three with Success. I would have to say irrefutably that List Building is the best way to go and ultimately the most stable and profitable.

      I love me CPA but it was up and down especially being reliant on G for traffic

    I think CPA along with blogging or list building could be great. Potentially build a list of people and then send them CPA offers. After all then you will also have a list aswell as making money through CPA which is well worth it down the line.

    If you don't mind me asking how where you promoting your CPA before now?

    These are not things you can "compare" on anything approaching equal terms, Mike.

    You can do none, or any one, or any two, or all three of them. They're not "alternatives". There's no "vs" about it. The "vs" is a "category error", which will lead you only to confused and confusing perceptions of internet marketing.

    CPA is a monetization method, and a business model.

    List-building is a traffic-retention and trust-building pre-selling method; it isn't a business model.

    Blogging is a (very ambiguously and flexibly defined) type of website; it isn't either a business model or - in itself - a monetization method.

    Any internet marketing business can be profitable and stable with or without any one, two or all three of things you're asking about.

    "Profitability" and "stability" depend not on those things, but on the marketer's skills.

    I don't think you should choose just one method, but rather try to combine all the methods that work for you together.

    List building and blogging is a great combination as you can send instant traffic to your blog whenever you made a new post. And you can use CPA offers to monetize together with affiliate offers.

    I had success with List Building. a stable online business. You will have repeat customers in your list and can promote some specific products very easily without any problem.
    But don't want to say CPA or Blogging is not good business and not stable.

    Hey Mike, Those three (Listbuilding, CPA and Blogging) are completely different from each other. List building and Blogging are long term business and will bring you profits in years. But CPA is also so well because you can get instant cash with that.

        So true so true..even if you find someone with a great content filled webinar or you offer one yourself and at the end it is selling a $2000 product it all came from an email list.

        And I have to give a shout out to Flippa.com

        You build it whether they come or do not come..you can flip it!

        I have even had a WSO made a quick $5000 then sold master resale rights to it on Flippa. I saw no one doing something like that at the time but I did not let that stop me. It sold for $2500 by the way.

        But if I had a lists of website, domains and PLR buyers life would have been even easier.

        So you are just right , right , and right Brett.

        Oh I should mention on that auction I threw up a starter blog with ebook matching domain but the new owners did not use either they told me they had plans to sell resale rights to the book and I thought that was pretty clever too.

    In my opinion it doesn't matter.
    as long as i'm offering high quality solutions to my subscribers problems they will buy.

    I only use blogs for obtaining emails, and showcasing things to my subscribers. but i promote cpa offers, and affiliate offers to my subscribers.

    They are components of online business.

    You build a list so you can promote anything - affiliate offers, CPA, your own products, etc.

    List building is simply a way of keeping in touch with your prospects and customers. It has really gotten a warped image by people touting it as a business model.
