Is it possible to make good money with CPA without using PPC?

22 replies
I don't know a thing about PPC nor do I have the budget. But I do want to market the offers.

I would say my IM knowledge is advanced. I've been promoting Amazon products for awhile but you have to move a TON of volume to make it pay off.

Good money is $5000 a month after taxes, in case you're wondering. What I mean is enough for me to live off of. By no means do I mean it's a lot of money.

    ofcourse, if you can bring traffic to your website it can be done easily.
    you will need to market like crazy on forums, facebook, twitter, do article marketing, seo etc.

    Well I would go with the PPV Route. Despite Popular belief, you do not need a ton of money to do this stuff. The Free traffic methods are good also,it really depends on your personal expenses and how much your willing to put up. Honestly you can start with a budget of $500-1k, moreover you could test a campaign for 50-100 bucks. It really depends on your income goals, your personal expenses and how much your willing to spend on your Business. If the answer is 0, than i would go with the free methods .

    hope this helps

    Good luck to you and God Bless.

    Yes, it's 100% possible to make money without using PPC. I just started using PPC a few weeks ago and have made a full time income online using almost only free traffic for several months.

    You just need to choose a system and put your focus on it for a few weeks. If you don't have money you need to invest time. Article marketing, video marketing and SEO are good choices, just choose the one that best fits your situation and put time and effort on it.

    Just don't make the mistake of getting started with PPC without a good budget. With this traffic source we always lose before we win, so you need to have at least a few hundred dollars to start your first PPC campaigns.

    Cost Per Action, or CPA, is a fresh new way to monetize your website. If you are having difficulty making money with your current websites, then it's time to start learning how CPA can work for you.

    CPA is a system that has the potential to pay you significantly more money than conventional campaigns. While with PPC you might be making $0.30 per click, with CPA you can make as much as $40 per action. You can drive less traffic, have fewer hits on your website, and still make MUCH more money.

    CPA is an easy and innovative way to capitalize on whatever traffic you are getting, even if it's just a few dozen hits a day.

    Google, Yahoo! and eBay are all planning on unleashing their own CPA programs this coming year. Before they introduce CPA to the Internet masses, this is your chance to learn what just a few people right now know.

      Hey TheNewGuy2010,

      In my opinion, you are actually better off staying away from PPC. I have found that with the amount of competition and the way that bid prices are increasing SO fast, I hear of more people actually LOSING money with PPC these days. Don't get me wrong, it still works if you know what you're doing, but if you're worried about your budget and you have no experience with it, it just wouldn't make sense for you to start right now.

      If I were you, I would start by making a content blogs/sites for a few of your offers. You'll get free traffic (over time), and they will be sites that will make you money for a long, long time. Just make sure you're adding 100% original content to your blog/site every week and you should be fine. That and a little SEO (backlinks, article marketing, etc.). I don't know about anybody else, but I'm not a fan of having to check my CPV or PPC account every hour to make sure that no one has outbid me. Just my two cents, but I hope it helps!

      Best of Luck,

    It's definitely possibly to make money in CPA without any paid traffic. If you don't have much of a testing budget you're much better off staying away from the paid traffic sources until you do.

    Work on creating content based sites around the same niche or demographics of the CPA offer that you want to promote. It will take longer to see consistent results with SEO but you'll learn a lot in the process anyway.

    Yes it is possible. I know some of the biggest earners and they're not using PPC or any kind of paid stuff, besides the cost they spend on site design, stuff like that. I am doing quite well with PPC but to be honest I hate it. I know for a fact that I can make as much as I want with ppc, but I really don't like it, i guess because i probably put ALOT more effort in than most, hence the reason I do so well. But, the entire reason i'm doing CPA is so i can have more free time. I'd rather have all the time in the world and make 1K a day, then have no time and make 10K a day.

    What type of traffic doesn't really matter, as long as you do the work and have some kind of plan that you stick to for more then 30 minutes, you'll do fine.
