Thank God Finally started making money with CPA offers!

what is the your traffic source only SEO? and is that your net profit and what kind of offer?

Thanx

Congrats!!!


I will say that I still buy many products and pick up a lot of valuable gems, but I think your advice rings true for complete newbies who tend to jump from ebook to ebook without doing anything.

Products have their place but they can be a curse just as much an investment. Be careful and as the OP suggests, taking action is more important than anything else you will do.

Yeah, I soon realized that I am ten times smarter than these guys writing ebooks. I mean, why would you write an ebook and sell it here for a couple bucks if you really do make as much money as you claim with cpa or affiliate marketing? Think about it guys.

What I did is started actually doing something instead of looking for an easy and fast way to make a buck, I've got one of my sites ranking right now that bringing me around $100 a day and got 15 more registered that I'll be working on as soon as I'll be done with this one..

Are you going for paid traffic, article marketing or plain SEO?

Great advice. It's true - it takes real work. The only people saying how easy it is to make money online are the ones who are selling you "false hopes".

smolodoy Congrat's on making some cash at last well done.

However I think when you say stop reading that's not a good idea.

I think its better to put a lot of work in but still do some reading. I tend to think its just a matter of getting a good balance to what your doing.

If your flat out just working you may be missing an important trend that is developing or warnings about certain products or networks that are not performing well.

SEO is key for many IMers because once it is set, you just have to maintain to keep competitors at bay. You can't beat it, SEO is king.

May I ask how many searches your kw gets a month based off of Google kw tool estimates?

@smolodoy - how long did it take for your site to rank and was it a competitive keyword? Thanks.

Hello there,
I am new to his blogging business. Happy to note u made money.I am also trying to make some thru blogging and adsense.
Can u explain in plain terms, what you did to make that money.
You say a niche keyword, a good article and pagerank.
i want to know how to increase the pagerank.

Congratulations on your daily profits! It's true TAKING ACTION and not following new shiny objects is the key. Jump in --yes you will make mistakes,learn from them and keep going!

Didn't expect so many replies, I'll try to answer your questions at the best I can. First of all making money with CPA offers is the easiest comparing to any other way, I've tried clickbank before and had no success with it with CPA offers out of 20/30 visitors I manage to get a convert/sale.

The keyword that I'm going after gets 20k visitors a month set to exact, however the site gets much less visitors then I have expected, its probably because I'm not up top yeat, still working on it. I still haven't found and still trying to find a way/tool to find the exact or atleast a close amount of searches per month for specific keywords and even tried testing it with PPC on google and to my surprise the keywords that had much less searches got alot more impressions and triple amount comparing to the highly searched keywords..

It took me almost 2 months to get my site to rank but I'm still not where I want it to be and still working on it..

I've completely stopped reading ebooks because they're all the same with a lil twist and difference in them, no one is going to reveal you the secret that they might be using to actually make money you can and will come up with your own if you really try, if your really struggling with making money then try this, pick CPA offer, find a keyword for it with low/medium competition write an article for it and build backlinks to it and thats all there is to it, english is not my first language but I'm still doing it some how so you can too.. Good luck to you all..

Great and sensible advice on eBooks smolodoy. But some folks are addicted to research and always reading, reading... so...

Another good piece of advice that I like very much is that for every ONE hour you spend Educating yourself (ie reading, surfing, etc), ensure you spend TWO hours implementing what you learn.

This way you keep up to date AND you get to DO things. And DOing things = success.

Congrats buddy !!

The feeling of the getting first earned money online is awesome .

I think making money online is just about taking action not about just buying the products and keeping them on your computer hard disk .

Yeah, these threads are so vital for the cpa-strugglers! Indeed. Period.

All infos and tools, that I've used and read literally remained as an experience. 80/20 rule as usual. 80 rubbish, 20 gems. But even 80 rubbish is a gem, because you've been there and don't want to dance on rakes.

The main thing about TAKING ACTION is certainty. And for some people these immense reading saga somehow needed...when aka critical mass has been accumulated, when quantity turns to quality.

Neverending learning curve needs guts to convert into holy grail of what you dream of.

Good post man! Cheers, I know I'm next

Congrats again smolodoy, and thanks for the advice, from you and some of the other replies. Being new to IM I quickly found myself getting pulled in different directions by different gurus and their secrets, and getting off track. Although I have learned a lot in a short amount of time, and will probably need reading glasses soon, from sitting in front of a screen for x amount of hrs reading lol, your post and you guys' replied made me realize that I have to just take action, and learn from mistakes I make, like kenster said.

Hey congrats buddy!

Now what you want to do is SCALE it up and play where the big biys are at. Start looking at offers with higher margins like UK finance or UK travel. Massive payouts there.

Any questions just let me know

Nick

I don't know if this type of request is allowed, let me know if it isn't. I really like the replies from you guys here. I just posted a thread with some getting started questions that I have and would like you guys' advice on it. If it's ok to post such a request let me know, I'll post the name of thread here. If not let me know cause I don't want to break any of the forum's rules.

Congratulations on your success. And you are spot on about choosing the right keyword and working on that until you rank high on search engines.

My story is very similar to yours. The day I stopped paying PPC and worked on my SEO was the best day on my IM journey. After all, you can not trust PPC and it is very expensive. In the long run SEO work pays, may be not as quick as PPC but definitely a more stable traffic for a long time.

Most people don't follow the advice in the ebooks they buy to even say if it works or not. They just get mad there is work involved and scream "gurus make all the money !!!"

Truth is there are so many ways to make money online that practically everything works. Ebooks just compile the information for you and usually have a nugget or two that help you think differently. I check out a lot of ebooks just to follow the writer's mindset. But thats an advanced subject that I see a lot are not getting.

I will say this, I joined a webinar I thought was going to be a crappy pitchfest about a week ago that had a little nugget that created a $xxx/day stream for me.

When you start adding those nuggets up, thats when you really start doing crazy numbers. Regardless of if you like ebooks or not, you are probably losing money not testing out different methods in some of these guides.

And you don't have to buy this and that ebook or webinar either. Some good nuggets I've picked up have come from free content.

Got my ebook and am now TAKING ACTION. No distruction until I succeed at this CPA like I did with clickbank!

very positive news!
I was once reading so much about internet marketing / how to make money online. I've learnt 1001 ways to make money online and actually only find out CPA works most for me and I gave up all other money making methods. I started only focus on CPA only. lol
I still read ebooks and watch videos so gain more knowledge.
of course taking action and not giving up is the only way to make money (not only online).
i was once the people who jump from thread to thread after reading and not taking action.
I gained more confidence by taking aciton

Way to go congratulations!

Yep, its amazing when you find that one thing that takes off. You can be hovering at 10 bucks a day or less for months and then you do a test and before any optimization its already making $50 a day and with some optimization you get your first multi-hundred dollar per day campaign.

Lay seeds and wait for something to sprout. When you see a sprout, then lay more seeds in that same place and you will see more growth.


Its unfortunate that many people quit before finding that first campaign that does well.

Congs Smolodoy,
Like you I also focused on clickbank and I have build 2 websites. one of them got ranked pretty good and get some traffic but still no sells...
I'm considering using CPA offers on those web sites but I don't know what kind of offers to choose and where to put them on my web site...
What kind of CPA offers have you use your ranked web page and where did you placed them (side bar, pop ups,direct link)?

What niche are you working in?

Congrats.. making money with CPA is the easiest way..

Is all of your traffic organic?

So you are now getting visitors to your site, and you want to give them a free woodworking plan if they fill out an incentivized survey?

That can work, or another option is to just give people the free woodworking plan if they sign up for your email list. Then you can build your woodworking niche list and sell to them repeatedly by email.

Another sticky issue is whether the creator of the clickbank product will let you give one of the plans away for free.

Research is king around these parts, you have everything you need here. War room baby yeeeah.

Hi Matt,


Its an interesting question you pose. Action in a definition off the top of my head is...putting 100% effort into working towards your goal. Its always keeping forward momentum and making sure every single step you take in the day is aimed at getting you one step closer to your goal.


So, its not just about putting in the time. Its about always trying to improve, become more efficient, more effective, and always doing something to work towards your goal.

Of course I made this admittedly bad definition broad because ACTION will mean different things depending on what you are doing. Taking action in the PPC industry will take on a slightly different form that taking action in the SEO industry.


Either way, I think if you have the mental toughness and tenacity to do anything and everything to get you closer to your goal and work hard and smart to do so, you will be successful, which is the ultimate goal. Just dont EVER become stagnant, idle, or think you are finished unless your goal has been achieved.

Hope that helps...if not let me know buddy!

Ken

Great thread. I enjoyed the contents and it has given me a lead in my cpa business

Congrats on your success, it really feels good once you get going!

Congrats but tell us more about what you did was it a review you wrote with links to offer or with a banner, did you geo target as most offers are geo targetted

Congrats on your success! First it's $50 a day, then $100, then $200, then $500

The sky is definitely ENDLESS!

Congrats on your success. Picking the right keyword to rank is one of the toughest things for me right now.

I do admit 99% ebooks and products are crap but what about 1%. If i had stopped reading then I won't come across great people like Amit Shah who teaches me CPA is more than just 1000$ per month.
