Netflix + College = Money

What are CPA networks that have Netflix offers? And what do I need to ask my affiliate manager about this kind of offline promotion? Are they strict about this type of promotion?

Very nice method, Kenster! Since I'm from Brazil I don't have many offline opportunities, but I think that it could work in the US.

I'm dying to market this Netflix offer. Anyone know of a network offering this that may be receptive to accepting a newbie marketer?

Does anyone know anything about DeluxNetwork? Looks like they are offering this at a pretty decent payout but they seem to be a new network.

Which CPA promtes the Netflix offer?

Check out offervault to see which company has the offer.


Keep in mind that going through Netflix directly has gotten much tougher. Its the reason I dont promote my Netflix WSO anymore. Its still very valid and very workable, but getting access to the offer has become more difficult.

What we can all hope for is the blockbuster or a similar online DVD rental company comes out with a massive online CPA lead generation campaign. Right now, at least for US traffic, Netflix has got control. Payouts have gone down and acceptance to the offer has got more difficult.

In Australia, Bigpond Telecom has an online movie rental website exactly like netflix. Maxbounty just released it to affiliates a couple of days ago.

I know Azoogle ads had netflix offers a while back with some decent payouts. There are a ton of places to market this stuff offline at college campuses as you've got a densely populated are with a giant target market. Great stuff Kenster!

Ken-How many signups were you averaging per 100 fliers?

Ken,

Here's my plan.

1) Apply to Netflix via GAN.
2) Ask Netflix affiliate is offline promotion is fine.
3) If they accept, do I use another domain to cloak my affiliate link? Or, can I promote bit.ly offline?
4) Pay for this kind of gig
yourwiseguy: I will post 20 flyers promoting your website or business around a popular college campus in Miami, Florida for $5 at Fiverr.com

Great Idea on the fiverr guy posting @ local college.

I've been trying to find a reliable poster. Most of the sites I see that do this look shady.

Great tip Kenster as always!

which company do you advise going thru for CPA?

Good stuff Kenster.

I was actually gonna try the Debt management Offline route but then forgot about it. I get like $200 for a simple form submit (no credit card) and I was gonna hand out flyers at the unemployment/welfare office for "In Debt? We can Write it Off for FREE!" ;- )

Maybe I should head over to vistaprint and get it sorted just now lol

Any questions just let me know
Nick

nick---can you PM me? i am interested as well.

Yep, offline works but the honest truth is that most people are too lazy to even give it a shot. I agree, its a lot of work, but when you are first starting out, its a great option because its very non-technical.

Netflix works great and colleges are a great place to post, but there are a million other opportunties and strategies as this thread has illustrated. Debt, health, high paying or mid paying offers, the potential is endless.

Best of luck all!

Ken-How many fliers were you passing out daily when you were banking $500/day?

I mean mostly I was doing on weekends and some weekends did very well yes. How many flyers really depends on where I was promoting. Some apartment complexes and parking garages I could deliver 1500 or more flyers. I was also outsourcing a bit though. A weekends work often brought in over a grand!

Hey thats a great idea!


I would put the name of your town right on the flyer so it feels more exclusive. May also want to check with your AM since all leads will be coming from the same geographic area.

May be a good way to earn a few hundred though from your morning walk. If it works, then just come up with different walking routes haha!

Thanks for the info, I might be trying this out. Do you know Exactly where I can find a list of College/University's boards, were I can post for free?

where do you recommend getting cheap flyers?

what were you promoting at $40? ****?

I want to get into this heavy but two things stop me.

#1. Outsourcing to a different city takes a certain amount of risk because they could just take your money, and I see no companies that look reputable in this space.

#2. I live in a small town and there isn't enough ROI for me to walk around and do this.

I've been thinking about actually outsourcing this like the old magazine companies used to back in the day. That would involve hiring a "road manager" and leasing a van, then hiring some HS kids and have them drive around the state doing this, paying them per day or per task.

You could cover A LOT of ground that way it just comes down to the risk and ROI. I'd hate to go through all this and break even. It's still on my back burner and I'm throwing the idea out there for anyone who wants to jump on it before I get to it.

I think we need to start a thread on offline CPA. I love talking about this. I think a ton of us got our starts in door to door sales as kids selling candy and magazines.

Really appreciate the kind words Bryan. Sorry about the delay, but we'll have it up tomorrow!

Bryan,

That was an excellent post to add to this most excellent thread...thank you Kenster! (BTW, I bought his WSO yesterday and am loving it. Set up my blog today and tomorrow I will be applying to CPA networks.)

Anyway, Bryan you mentioned you got approved in post #15. Who approved you, was it difficult and do you recommend them or someone else? I'm new too but very ambitious/hungry so all info is much appreciated.

Man o man, I have about 6 colleges around me and a new cartridge in my printer!

Hey Kenster,

I realize you're a very busy dude but I sent you an email last night to you entrepeneurvally address. When you get a chance please.

Did you normally have trouble on college campuses, Kenster, with getting permission to put fliers on the college campuses?

I imagine every campus is different. Still waiting on a network that has netflix so haven't tried this yet but I will!

Kenster, what is the scrub % of netflix offer? one network owner said that they scrub a lot that's why i am not running netflix these days.

Kenster-do you have a sample flyer you could post for us to get ideas from?

Thanks Phil!

Might if I apply to your network?

Of course not, feel free!

Hey Kenster, would you mind sending me a PM with an e-mail I could contact you with? It's about your Rags to Riches Guide.

Thanks!

Great content Kenster!

Hm... and netflix is finally beginning operations in Canada too... ^^ Now if only I can get into a network.

Yep, coming to Canada!


Its a great excuse for a marketing promotion...picture this...

NETFLIX IS OFFERING A FREE TRIAL AS PART OF THEIR LAUNCH INTO THE CANADIAN MARKET. CLICK HERE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS LIMITED TIME OPPORTUNITY!!


Piggyback on their promotion efforts into the Canadian market!

This sure is great timing

Hi Kenster
We have a company in the UK called Lovefilm which seems to do a similar thing to Netflix. But the trial offer is for 14days and then they have to pay a monthly sub fee this is being offered with the Neverblue network. Do you have any more information how you put this into practise. I live in Manchester and we have a massive amount of students. Would love to hear back to see if this company is compatible with how you were doing it.

Do you think they'll have a free trial offer for Canadians?

I have read some stuff about CPA just checked the Offervault like Kenster said. Should i make a website for any particular CPA offers, or its just fine to get a domain and then redirect it to the landing page?

Thanks, Andrew

PeerFly doesn't have it

We had it in 2009 for a long time then we had it a couple weeks ago but it got pulled from the client we partnered with. Now we're dealing directly with NetFlix and hope to have it again very soon.

Looks like Peerfly now has this offer again but you need to apply for the offer, even if you've been accepted to their network, and they're accepting only limited quality publishers to run Netflix from their network.

How about cpatrend, Phil?

I'm ready to run this offer...

Give your AM a call, have a plan already established and let your aff manager know that plan. When things get tight, you need to go one step beyond what others are doing.

As my mom always said...to be successful in life you only need to do two things

1. always remember who you are
2. work harder than everybody else

The second point comes in here. If you work harder and go the extra mile, you are much more likely to get accepted to this and other offers. Networks dont want dopes running this offer, so make sure you have a plan!

~ken

Phil, the minute you got Netflix and Gamefly, I'm joining your network!

Good content as always kenster!

Hi kenster,

Thanks for posting solid content as always. I sent you a pm about the possibilities of promoting netflix on my movie related websites.

If you get time, please check it and let me know if I can do something with 5k uniques per day

Thanks again.

Cheers
Ajeet

Hi Kenster, I am going to create a campaign similar to your Netflix method. And I need some help with landing pages. Can you pls hit me a pm with your chat id? ..I dont have enough posts to pm you yet..

Great idea Ken, But problem is that people around the world cant execute that as most of the offers are usa and uk based.

My girlfriends son just started college. If I were to hire him to pass out / post flyers around the school, how could I track the revenue he generates so I can help him earn some money?

Nice method, ill try it with my PPV Campaigns.

What networks have the highest paying netflix offers?

Advertising on windshields in a campus parking garage might work well for netflix ads...slip it under their windshield wiper. At first they might be shocked and think they got a ticket, and then BAM..a free two week trial offer! How can they resist?

Thanks for the tips guys.

So far I've applied to 17 networks and been denied by Affiliate.com and Monetizeit.

I am still waiting to hear from some of the others. Perhaps I'll make some phone calls.

I hope I get approved by one of these networks soon so I can start taking action!

Yes, you should certainly try reaching out to the networks either by finding any AMs around this forum or by calling if you have a number!!!

I just got denied by Google affiliate and I get at least 30k visitors per month and I mainly focus on movie/tv subjects. It seems like there's really no pattern why you get denied. There's no contact info so I don't even know the reason.

Going to try out other affiliates.

Questions for Kenster

1) Do people sign up more when you have a sub domain just for the offer ie cityname.domain.com instead of just your domain? What's the reason for that?

2) On the flyer do you put something like "FREE - No catch!" so people are more willing to sign up.

If I do get approved, I'm going to put a counter on my page form saying something like "There's only x amount of free Netflix offer left...hurry before they're all gone."

Thanks.

Thanks!

Netflix is making it very hard for anyone who doesn't already have a website with huge traffic and an established track record with the networks to even advertise their offer. So it seems this thread is now irrelevant for newbies, at least with the Netflix offer.

Actually the website I applied with gets next to nothing in traffic because it was new but I was able to get into the Netflix offer through CPA network Point Click Track.

But at that network the Netflix offer only pays $12 as opposed to the $16 I've seen elsewhere

My point is that it was easy to get accepted through Point Click Track so sometimes I think it depends on the network itself.

good idea on the fiverr guy posting at local college.

Sent you a email ken...

For me i think netflix only work in US. other country is not working

That's real cool of you, Kenster, I can see why a lot of people admire you here, you're very helpful

Hey that was a great idea. I watch netflix often. I found it cheaper to cancel the direct tv and just watch netflix.

very creative

I love ideas like this

Neverblue has Netflix as private offer, so you won't find it in the list of offers.
Who knows, maybe with other networks you find the good aff manager, who will accept offline traffic method. But they do whatever to satisfy the advertiser and not to spoil their reputation. Correct? And with neverblue you are not eligible to drive any type of traffic apart from web seo serach stuff:

Smart easy accessable the warrior that has other uses. interesting.

OK, so I called my AM again, and he said there would be no problem with using a simple redirect to the sales page for offline purposes. All he asked is that I email him before I start the campaign, in case there is a spike in traffic to my aff link from multiple local IPs. Although this particular network has one of the lower payouts for Netflix. I wish the Dandingo folks would call me back; I applied with them Oct. 8. Oh well, I'll just use the current network until something comes up.

that was truly brilliant

Hi guys,

As you can see I am new to this forum. I got to know about this forum through an offer I bought online about Article/Blog submissions.
Although I am still looking at the Article submission info, IM appeals to me more and the revenues, if set up correctly, seem pretty amazing. The only downside is I'm a complete newbie to this field (I even had to check out what a CPA network was)!

Any terminology I don't understand then I am researching it furiously and absorbing as much info as I can.
The info that you guys post on this forum is fantastic, but could someone send me info on how IM works or direct me to the relevant info that a complete new starter needs - is there an ebook that one of you trusted people have written covering this subject.
All this talk of redirects, URLs that are masked, sub domains & splash pages is making my brain ache!
It would be much easier for me to teach myself from one source rather than reading conflicting info from various parts of the web.

I apologise if this has broken the thread a little but it seems that you guys are the experts who newbies like myself should be learning from.

Any info would be greatly appreciated. Sorry once again but everybody has to start at the beginning.


Kind regards,

A very, very keen newcomer.

Very nice method, Kenster

Thanks Kenster! I'm applying for a netflix affiliation right now, has anyone found a high payout for the free trial?

Thanks again Kenster

Great idea. Thanks!

A great idea leads to $$$$ and this is a great idea.

Really creative

Thank you Kenster

Good idea, could work great for the holiday season as well
