An Even EASIER EASIER method of Making Money with CPA offers

[spikey99]

I was inspired to write this after reading another post here about using article marketing and a landing page to drive traffic to CPA offers.

I wanted to share what I feel is an easier more long term method of using CPA offers and simple websites to make some bucks with CPA stuff.

You might need a bit of technical knowledge to complete all of this but really you could use GetaFreelancer or Scriptlance to hire someone to piece it together on the cheap.

1.)Find an offer, preferably a Lead submit or simple free trial offer. Look for one that's in a pretty big niche though not something that's crazy obscure. You're going to want to choose a market where you know there will always be an offer in some network you can run.

Not enough people consider this before they launch a CPA campaign, they set it up with an offer that looks Kick A$* right now, only for the offer to get shut down come 4 months time.

So grab an offer but look for one that's in a profitable niche, where there will be other offers to grab if that one disappears.

2.) Grab a domain, but don't choose one that is solely keyword focussed. Look for something that could be branded easily. You want catchy memorable not lots of hyphens and keyword stuffed.

3.) Install Wordpress on that domain and grab a nice clean looking (2) column word press theme.

4.) Hack that theme a bit... You want to mod the header are of the theme to have a link/banner ad to that CPA offer. Also if you're good with Wordpress and PHP you want to add a link to the “single.php” page above the Headline to have a text link or nice graphical link to the CPA offer as well. Take it one step further you could also add a link and/or image ad to the CPA offer at the top of the side bar by editing the sidebar.php file.

5.) Jump over to Google Keyword tool and do some research on the niche. Look for keywords that you think people would be in the mind set to request the offer or sign up, or be a lead etc. Don't just grab every keyword that seems like it gets good traffic with low competition.

6.) Start writing articles about the niche, posting them to your word press blog once daily. Above each post there will be a call to action for the CPA offer as per where you edited the template, also in the header and side bar.

Here you're going to want to be informative, write around the keyword you've chosen with best practices for SEO and also move the reader to request the offer, sign up or do what ever the required action is.

7.) Create a post/page in word press that is specific to the offer i.e. a Landing page. It might be a page solely dedicated to pre-selling the offer, or a complete review of the product etc. But have it be a landing page that is totally geared towards getting the visitor to subscribe or request the CPA Offer.

If you're good with word press you could actually create your own template page here to remove the side bar so that it's impossible to do anything but click the back button, request the offer or close the browser.

Now here's where I believe this method can differentiate a bit from others I've read here.

Use Article marketing, but use it for traffic and back links. Start writing articles and submitting them (I suggest you take a bit of time to do some re-writing or at least re-writing titles if you're submitting to multiple directories see the link in my sig, I have an article on my blog about re-writing for maximum article marketing performance)

You'll want to submit articles to several directories and use (1) of your bio links to link to the landing page you created above, an the second link to link to a specific article you wrote with the primary keyword of that article as the anchor text.

Keep blogging and writing new articles both for your blog as well as submitting new articles to build more backlinks and direct traffic.

This will do two things for you.

It will give you direct traffic to the landing page from your bio link in the article. It will also give you backlinks to your article pages which will help those pages in the SERPs and of course generate a bit of direct traffic as well.

What you end up with is a landing page that converts based on direct traffic from the article directories as well as a blog with a ton of content that is starting to get free traffic from Google, Yahoo and MSN. As well since your blog is optimized to promote the offer, and each article pushes the reader to the offer you're going to be getting conversions that way as well.

Over time you'll end up with an asset you could flip, grow, or just keep as a cash cow.

The great thing is remember back in step 1 when I said go for a market that has a lot of offers for it. If the offer you're promoting dies out you just replace the offer simple a pie! There will always be offers available that convert in a similar fashion if you choose the right market.

NOW GO OUT AND MAKE SOME QUID with CPA offers!

I'll agree with you on the cybersquatters, however I find that if I just think outside the box a bit there are still a TON of decent domains out there.

There are a few great little tools out there too that if you put in your keywords they'll create combinations and tell you if the .com is available or not.

No trouble at all guys thanks for the nice comments.

Just a couple of other points to this:

I like this concept better then the bum marketing/squidoo/hubpages stuff people preach with CPA offers as being easy for a couple of reason.

a.) not a lot more work, but the upside is a lot higher
b.) You could sell each site or portfolio of sites at the end of the day giving you something for our time and money.

So good luck everyone get out there and make some cash!
