Our First month, we generated $11,653 from one offer!

Hello,

We entered the cpa marketing just under a month ago, and generated $11,653 revenue from one simple offer, this was a free trial offer for hairloss.

We are now looking for another network to market with, which has the best free trials on offer? any advice or referr us to a network would be great.

The really simple but effective method we used was :

We applied for this certain network and was approved within 25 mins, all we did was phoned them up as soon as we made our application, we was asked 3 questions which are very simple.

1. Which offers do we promote : We answered free trials, biz opps, health offers.

2. How we market our offers : Very simple again, we explained to them that we have a good healthy budget which we will spend on media buys and pay per click marketing, we explained to them that we also pick one offer and create our own designed landing page which then, we researched our low competition keywords, and created some high quality backlinks for ranking in search engines.

3. How long have you been marketing cpa offers : we told a white lie, we had no experience in cpa marketing so we explained we was new to marketing but had a good budget and with the right help from our affiliate manager we will generate good commissions which would make money for us, and the network.

Bang! we was accepted, don't be afraid to give them a call. there are only people at the end of the phone.

After we got accepted we searched, looked at every offer and finally picked one offer to promote which was hair loss

We searched for a new domain name that we could use for this offer.


we then got a designer to create us a web 2.0 fresh landing page based on the offers website.

So we had a live website, with no traffic.

The next object was keyword research, very simple but effective.

We outsourced this very cheap around $7+ for hundreds of keywords.

Once we had our offer and keywords, we simply created 10 google adwords ad's, and simply left them to run.

We ended up spending just over $2,000 for a return of $11,653.

Now the morale of this, i'm writing now is, Simple methods can still work with a simple stratergy.

Time for us, now is to apply to other networks and create and use more simple methods.


People, cpa is easy just keep an eye on your google adwords campaign, if done wrong it can lose you alot of money.

I just wanted to help a few newbies how quick and easy it is getting into a network and generating a good profit within a month.

Time to rinse and repeat

    You can also make some cash with PPV traffic, and you can direct link, if your network will allow it!

      Neat job there and thanks for sharing that information.

      Now if it wouldn't be a tall order - could you show a screen capture of your landing page? Of course by masking out certain details which you find that will give your offer / website / keywords etc away.

      I'm asking because I'm struggling with a landing page and in the lookout for something which works and gives me an idea how a good one should be done.

      We run our ad's on search, never actually tried content, could be our next testing route.

      Media Buys Vs. PPC

      honest answer, PPC, the reason why, we haven't really found much media buy places, that would generate good traffic, which we are trying to search and find some as we speak.

      You see, our landing page, looks completely nothing like a free trial/rebill offer and we haven't been banned or notified about it, so all looks good.

      We got our designer to create our landing page, so it wouldn't look like a free trial.

      So far google haven't objected us, the way we used the method.

      We don't have a list that would actually work on promoting products, that is our next target.

      We do however, have a list for website purchase interest, as this is our main form of income.

        Thanks for the info .. For this particular offer did u use landing site..i mean did u use quality articles to the site or was it just few page site?

        also did u stop running this campaign? I know time is precious for you but i was curious to know why u stopped this campaign?

    Thats pretty sweet, Congrats!

    I think its important to point out that its normally not this easy to make money with PPC. Almost always, you will need to do a lot more optimization and keyword refinement to make profit in PPC. I would just hate to see people start dumping thousands of dollars into PPC and waiting for a return like that.

    But it shows the power of scale and abundance on the internet. Pretty sweet aint it!

      This is actually, our first time with PPC, we didn't rush into splashing cash into google adwords without any research.

      And i wouldn't advise anyone, just simply create an ad in adwords and just let it run.

      i think of the whole project we simply spent a full 3 day's on research, our ad, and time spent on getting the project up and running.

      Apart from keeping a close eye on our campaigns, there was nothing else to do.

      This was actually just a test we was trying, to see if CPA was our thing.

      Which it worked, also just had confirmation from my affiliate manager that there's no problems with our traffic and sign ups.

      Now, you only have to think that with a lot of research and time put into this, it doe's not seem that hard to upscale to 25 landing pages, with some keyword research and good PPC campaigns, CPA can bring in $250,000 per month.


      P.s - Just like to add, please don't pm us with questions asking us to show you, how to run your own marketing campaigns.

      We have no time to run your business aswell as ours. We seem to have gotten 15 pm's in last 5 hours asking for help.

      i know you need help, but use your head, the information is right before your eyes. warrior forum is plastered with free ideas and information getting you started.

      A beginner shouldn't touch PPC without spy tools. The tools would at least give a new person a fighting chance.

      Yes, make sure research is done, before trying this out!

      We didn't rush into it, but we didn't sit back and wish we was making that money.

      Everything's a risk, the higher the risk the higher the gains.

      We haven't been notified that we have done anything wrong yet, so i'm not sure on google's thoughts with our landing page.

      All we did was create a one page landing page, that was created with a smooth fresh web 2.0 feel, very smartly designed and laid out.

      We did not use a template, we found that if your unique, you gain more.

      We haven't stopped running the campaign now but we have toned it down a little, due to the fact we are now looking for another offer to promote.

      Our method which we are going to apply is to test and figure out different offers, but we are not going to promote one offer constantly.

      Once we find another good converting offer, then we'll give the hair loss offer up and move on. i know others like to find one offer and stick with that, but we are using this method, whereas we find a good converting offer that converts like crazy market the hell out of it,just like we have done here.

      we'll tone down the offer (cut our budget down but still promoting the offer as it converts) but we'll move our sights onto other offers to promote.

    Yes offers expire all the time so you should never make your whole business dependent on any one offer, one niche, one type of offer, or even one traffic source.

    Sustainable businesses always diversify all over the place especially in an ever-changing business like the internet and CPA. You can get lucky with one campaign and make a few grand a day and then not make a dime for months once that offer expires.

    Not directed at anybody, just a general tip

          They are longtail keywords, there is no point joining the rest of the more competitive keywords, if the longtail keywords can generate a good profit its self.

    Do you realize promoting these soo called free trial products, actually screws over 80% of the people who sign up. Getting charged a whooping $70-$80 every month on your credit card, in todays economy, for some thing you signed up to over the internet, which makes it difficult to determine future charges, is soo dam close to a scam.

      That is not our concern, if the customer read the full terms and conditions, then they wouldn't have a problem.

      Yes the term's are very small printed, but it's there own fault for not reading any terms before purchasing.

      Before i purchase anything, i make sure i read the full terms and conditions.
