So I haven't really spent much time on the offline discussions, but recently I have had some time to look over some of the campaigns I have seen some people running.

Such as hiring people to hand our flyers.

I just wanted to share a story from a few weeks ago.

I had about 500$ cash, and some time.
I decided I'd give flyers a go and went on to craigslist.

I posted that I needed somebody for a commission only based weekend job.
Within a few days I had five or six inquiries. I decided to interview them and widdled it down to 2 guys.

Now I have a friend that has a fairly high traffic business. He said he didn't mind us setting up shop put front. So we did.


I set up a little tent, table, (rented from my church for $50) and had my salesmen bring a laptop. I supplied the wireless Internet cards from Verizon.

Then, I went to a local sign store and bought a sign saying "Instant Payday Loan Approval - Let Us Walk You Through"

Sounds simple enough, but you wouldn't BELIEVE the amount of people who actually came TO us.

Psychologically, when a person feels like they are being helped, they want to be helped. Just sitting out there, we were able to make 92 Payday loan leads.

Income Statement
92 Services At 45$/pop --- $4140 Revenue
- Commisions at 15% - $621
- Expenses
(Flyers, wifi, tent) - $550

My Profit - $2969






It IS possible to make money. You just have to 1 take action, and 2 get creative.

      The clients were intercepted on the way to my friend's business. They saw the sign and would come and check us out.

    While this sounds great and everything, keep in mind the cpa network and advertiser will see all these sign ups from one ip and that will create a RED flag. If you havent been paid yet you may not see a dime, if you have good for you...
    I would highly suggest mentioning the method to your AM before trying it, that way you cover your ass when it's "PAYDAY".

    I had a similar idea a few weeks back and spoke to my AM and he said this was perfectly ok to do BUT we need to let him know in advance to he can explain why the leads came from one ip.
