Used the search function and it pulled so much information I think you could probably publish a marketing book with all the threads here! Such great info but I had a few questions.

I am interested in email submit offers and if I understand correctly you run an offer (through advertising I'm assuming) and if the user inputs there email address you get paid. Is my thinking correct there or am I getting excited over nothing?

Furthermore, it seems that most everything I have read points to ppc advertising. It also seems that most of you are having either great results or mixed results. Anyway, the reason for the thread was because this seems kind of easy, almost too easy, especially if you can get paid for someone just entering their email address.

Or for the mobile offers, these also would seem to convert well, especially if you could target your ads. Again it seems kind of easy, not saying it is, but on the surface this doesn't appear to be that hard. Am I missing something?

    Well, that's basically it. But what you don't read too often about is the hard work behind the results. If you want to make a living out of IM you have to make it a full time job. Anyway, everything you need to know about and even more can be found on this forum so what you basically got to do now is get in to the networks (unless you already have), pick some offers, pick one or more traffic generating method and then start working and testing. Find the method witch brings the best income and biggest ROI and stick with it. Remember, the sooner you will start working the sooner you will see results. Good luck.

    I was accepted into CPALead pretty easily, but I didn't find any email submit offers in there. I also applied to neverblue, but since I am at work and don't have cell coverage I won't be available to answer the phone.

    I have an idea on where to start getting traffic from, and I do bet this is going to be hard work, but to me this seems very doable.

    CPA lead is mostly surveys that work great if you want to lock content on a site and force the visitors to complete them in order to have access. You can also apply to adscendmedia.com. They're easy to get in (no phone call) and have many offers including email submits.

    Hey mainstream, you should call the CPA networks right away, right after you apply. It shows how serious you are and plus you don't have to wait.

    Yeah I have heard about doing that, and I will be doing that with the next networks I apply to. Any other helpful tips? I won't be doing PPC so blowing through a bunch of cash is something I'm not too concerned about...

      My friend, in that case, allow me to introduce you to a person in WF : Kenster.

      I believe he will reply your thread in awhile, and if he does, take a look into his signature, grab his offer, and you're good to go with the questions you've just asked

      Or else, just search for his name, and do a little trace back on his posts, and you'll get some details of what kind of information he's giving out on the forum.

      Hope that helps.

        mwahahah


        Yes, if you are brand new, PPC is tough if you want to keep your bank account afloat! That is the great thing about making money with CPA and more specifically making money on the internet, you can literally start with nothing and build an empire. You can start with free traffic, free hosting, and free blogs and make money without ever spending a dime. Its crazy if you really think about it.


        Some good places to start...

        Article Marketing - this is free traffic. Create a bunch of good articles related to your cpa offer. You can put a link at the end directing people to your home base (blog, landing page, whatever). Then submit these to directories and they can get picked up extremely fast. The articles, once out there will be making you money for a long time to come.

        Video Marketing - create videos using animoto, powerpoint, webcam, slides, whatever and upload them to the video portals. Of course somewhere in the description of the video or in the video itself you will be promoting you cpa offer in one way shape or form.

        Forum Marketing - Wont make you a millionaire but good to get your feet wet, you can join forums and put your blog or home base in your signature. After commenting people may check out your blog or home base and fill out your cpa offer which will be there somewhere.

        SEO - Its amazing how easy it is to build and rank sites and blogs using wordpress or html templates. Pick lesser traffic keywords to start so you can actually rank. Voila, free organic traffic to your home base which will have your cpa offer.


        cpa is awesome man...good luck :p

      Before you call the next cpa networks, prepare your questions and answers, so when they ask you any procedure questions, you'll already know the answer and talk casual like you already know what your doing.

    Yes, PPC is the best way of getting qualified traffic quickly. I'd note that email submits have a very small payout so a lot of people will be fighting over crums when dealing with PPC.

    Thats why I recommend getting higher paid offers such as finance leads, but it requires you to get a deal with merchants directly instead of going through regular networks. If you can do that it works out very well.

    Any questions just let me know

      Nope, I'm a clown haha, busted! What's the point of taking life too seriously...especially when you work for yourself and dont need to impress anybody. And in truth, having fun is the premise for beng creative which is critical to doing well online. Take a look at all the very successful internet companies out there...most have a fun and clownish culture. Zappos for one!

      And btw, you can leave your signature out of posts if you want!

    Thanks for the post to the ebook. Purchased and have a good grasp on what I'm doing I think. Definitely won't be using PPC as I feel I can make cash using a different advertising platform -- only time will tell...

      Glad that it could help you out

      Now take some action and bug the heck out of Kenster until you're successful enough to help others in the forum!

    You definitely don't want to be using PPC for low-paying email submit offers, it'd be better to look into free traffic methods as well as perhaps PPV and alternative PPC on facebook, etc. The main thing with paid advertising (especially with email submits) is to track your campaign in a very detailed fashion so that you can weed out the non-performing keywords and/or adgroups and only keep the performing ones - this is the key to profitability in CPA!

      Yeah I'm testing the waters going straight for the higher paying offers and we'll see how it goes!

    Hi mainstreetcm,

    You got it right. Email submits are one field submits. Basically, advertisers will pay you for each email they receive. It is much easier than trying to sell something through affiliate marketing.

    But there are more methods in CPA which you can implement other than PPC. I do understand what you are going through. PPC is just too hard to implement when you are just starting out on CPA.

    Best of luck,

    Aira

    So it wasn't the most spectacular day but I made back my advertising costs for my little test. Exactly how late are these CPA agencies open? I would like to call them and get accepted and all that jazz but I work 8 to 5 and getting on the phone at work would be bad.

    I would really like to do email submits and I want to try and get into Maxbounty so any information regarding there operating hours would be awesome!
