How I Make Four Figures a day with CPA

33 replies
Alrite, if you follow what I say in this post you should be able make thousands of dollars daily with CPA offers. I'm not a special snowflake.

First off, only promote hot offers that other affiliates are doing well with. Find out from your Affiliate Managers which offers are performing the best on the network. You want to know volume and network-wide EPC.

Before you start doing anything. Get tracking202pro. There's a free trial. If you don't track, you wont know what is making you money and what is losing you money.

Browse landing pages other affiliates are using to promote the offer you chose. Grab the three that look best. Change them around, make them better, and put into an lp rotator. You can find the lp rotator php code for free.

Now go to quantcast.com. Enter the url of the offer and get demographic data.

Browse the top sites on Quantcast, starting with the top 100:
Quantcast

You'll notice quantcast tells you which sites accept ads. Check the demographics on those that do. Advertise on any of them that match your demographics of the offer.

Some will make you money, others will lose you money. Thats why you gotta track! But the ones that do well, you can scale up like crazy. After all you are going after the most popular sites online!

Also get a free offer rotator php script and rotate the offer that is served up when they click through from your landing page.

After about 500 clicks, keep the landing page that works best and drop the other 2. Find two more and put them in the rotator to compete against the winner. You are going to keep doing this process until you find the absolute best lp.

Do basically the same thing for the offer - keep testing until you find the highest converting offer. For the popular niches there are tons of similar offers. Don't be lazy, test them all. Check offervault.com to see which network offers the best pay on any given offer.

When you start doing well with one site, find out through quantcast the similar sites and advertise on those if you can.

And always ask your affiliate managers to bump up your pay. Let me know if you got questions or if you need more info on anything.

    Do you buy the ads on the sites you select (from Quantcast) directly with their advertising agency or in-house team?

    Or do you use something like the Google Content-Network?

      Yes, I like to buy direct whenever possible to get the best rate. Using Google Content network or any other ad platform is good to test. But once you you find a winner definitely look into cutting a deal a to cut out the middle man

        The golden nugget here is testing testing testing. Too many noobs (including myself just months ago) try rotating two offers on a single lp or rotating a single offer on 2 lps and thats it.

        Forget that, stop being lazy. Your ROI will be MUCH higher is you are constantly testing as this thread suggests. Pick 3 offers, 3 lps. Pick the winners, test the winners against modified lps of the winner and other offers. Keep testing. repeat repeat repeat...

        If youre not lazy and refuse to stop testing and tweaking your lp, you can milk crazy money out of offers that initially seemed mediocre.

        You dont need to be real techy to make good money with CPA, you just need to be willing to do the work and be a wee bit creative

        To Your Success

        Great point Steve!

        I also use the Content Network to test.

        Here is a link to another thread here on the forum I started about exactly how to cut Google out the picture: Click Here

        The Content Network and media buying has proven to be the best way to make money with CPA offers by far.

      You'll only see the top 100 sites on quantcast.com's home page, I don't think you'll be able to find the top 100 sites in your particular niche.

    for me...you choose the best cpa offer you can get.......find a site on quantacast.....click on the site that match your cpa offer keyword...and ask the owner of the website whether you can rent banner space on his website or not. Most of them will let you put your banner on their site. This media buying method is much much more cheaper compare to do PPC. What do the expert here thinks?

      That is landing page rotator. So if you are doing CPA marketing you can rotate multiple offers for the same niche. This way you can track which of the offers is getting more response and then make that offer on your main page. I would start with 3 then 2 then 1.

    Responding to ckboddic- A statistical approach exists called "A/B" testing, meaning that you have two versions of something you are trying to test. Once you have acquired a "statistically significant" number of responses you may infer which version meets your objectives better. A landing page rotator will enable this approach.

    However, web pages (since that is what we are talking about here) are comprised of a great many elements (text, audio, video, images) that all may comprise a tremendous number of combinations. There is another type of software called "Multivariate Testing" which will allow you to test variations in multiple elements all at the same time. The software will then perform the statistical analysis and will help you optimize based upon visitor behavior.

    Google Optimizer is a Multivariate Testing application that is free us use and implement. There are also other statistical packages available to implement Multivariate Testing. Some of them are quite expensive. One such package that does a good job and is affordable is MuVar, which was originally developed by James Brausch. You can simply Google it or visit muvarDOTinfo/MuVar2009SpecialPricingDOThtml (substitute DOT with a period).

      Thanks! So is it fair to say that Google Optimizer is an advanced version of a landing page rotator capable of doing a lot of other things? Can it be used as a landing page rotator?

        That's an interesting question. My experience with Google Optimizer is not extensive enough to give a definitive answer. Simplisticly, you could restrict yourself to a couple of variables. In order to use it as I believe you are suggesting, there would need to be a capability to create sets of attributes and test the sets against one another. By restricting the test in this manner you would get the A/B testing capability you are seeking with a landing page rotator.

        I think that you will find testing multiple variables is a better approach because the software will vary many combinations and optimize the best page for you, not just A or B.

        When I started to get into this the multivariate products were becoming more affordable and I never used rotator software. I intially used MuVar. It is good software. However, the support is not very good. I have dabbled a bit with Optimizer, yet am not proficient with it at this time.
