I have $50 what should I do next ?

36 replies
Hey, I am new to CPA haven't been accepted to any of the networks yet cause I dont have a website. I wanted to do email marketing and social network marketing like FB even youtube. Im a gfx designer my only earning source is fiverr though I spent a lot on buying WSOs, scripts, etc online from this forum. Now Im left with approx $50 to start my CPA journey.

Please advise which type of site will be best to get approved by a CPA network ? and niche ? then how to promote offers for newbies.. in your few steps.

Based on your replies I'll make it now and apply for a CPA network.
Thanks a ton! =)

PS. One great disadvantage I have is I live in India. So some networks I tried just slapped a "DECLINE" mail without reason or never replied back.

    Hey

    Get some hosting, buy a domain name and focus on FREE traffic and on site optimization. SEO for traffic. Slap an insurance offer on it and watch those $50 turn into a few hundred in the next months. That should get you started and you can grow your budget this way.

    Any questions just let me know

      I agree, with $50 you will need to do free traffic. The good news is that free traffic is also very lucrative!!

      As for what I would do, get hosting, probably a domain, you can set up a quick site to get accepted if you want, then start driving free traffic.

      Driving traffic is the hard part...focus on that to start. Pick a traffic souce like SEO, articles, videos, pr, social, and just go to town. Expect to stink at first but the traffic will come as you learn and continue to play around. Traffic is money so spend your time on getting traffic, not setting up a super amazing site!

      Thats my advice at least.

      Of yeah, Reinvest! Once you earn money keep putting back into your business. With my earnings, I dont think I spent a dime on myself for many months...everything went back into my business!

    You don't need to website to get accepted by a CPA network. There's decent networks that will accept you regardless as long as you tell them your intention to send good traffic such as PPC.

    Search in the WSO section, there are free WSO's which tell you how to promote offers via social marketing and forums. To do email marketing you need to build a list. The easiest way of doing this is probably either a viral script or giving away a free product such as an ebook. You can buy ebooks from PLR site's though so you don't need to write your own.

    Insurance is a highly competitive niche though isn't it? How would that be an ideal start for a newbie?

      I tried to enter to few networks as an email marketer but I was rejected cause I couldn't show them my traffic source and as my experience is low too.

      This time I really want to apply in the old fashioned way by showing them my own website.

      What he means is that you can set up a good website to do SEO and make some money with only $50. Not to use to be accepted into a network.

      Competitive niches make money, and there is room for everyone to jump in. All you need to do is grab your small piece of the pie.

    Make a blog in free hosting site like blogger or wordpress and then buy a domain for a year.Choose the niche wisely and for this you may do some keyword research,then put some good articles and promote the sites for few days and then apply for a CPA account.

    Concentrate on household names. Netflix is one that comes to mind.

    Save your $50 and spend a few days on writing a business plan. Map out everything you intend to do, how you are going to do it, what you will use, how long it will take, etc.

    Plan it out good.

    Then go from there.


    BTW...there is no such thing as free traffic. That's probably the biggest myth on the internet!

      Netflix has their offer locked down so tight it's just about impossible to get approved for that offer now. There's no way a new affililiate with zero experience and no website from India will get approved to run Netflix.

    You have no budget and no website and no experience and the networks are giving you a hard time b/c of where you live. Ok, the first thing I thought of is are you an expert in anything that people will be willing to pay you for your expertise?

    $50 won't get you a hosting package for a year which is what most hosts require you to set up to begin with. Facebook is out of the question b/c it's paid traffic and you have zero budget.

    You say you are a Graphics designer and you sell your stuff on Fiverr. Now that's a skill that you can monetize to build yourself a real budget to get into CPA marketing BUT fiverr will take you forever to build a substantial budget.

    If you wanted to JV with me on a PPV landing page website that I have built but don't have time to keep building designs for I would be willing to give you a shot. You could work on landing page designs and we could partner on that project. Currently the site is bringing in a few sales per month and can be scaled out to be a decent income stream with some work and we could split the sales 50/50. It would be a good foundation for you to start your CPA business from.

    PM me if you are interested. The site is ppvlanders (dot) com. It needs more designs and a solid marketing campaign. I can work the marketing aspect, you can build landers from my wireframes. Along the way you can learn organic marketing and help out when you are ready. It's a win / win.

    Use the $50 to buy a website name and a years hosting package (for multiple domains, then your only cost is the cost of buying new domain names). Then you have fixed your costs to a certain extent. Then follow the advice of the others re: applying for CPA networks - but you stand a far better chance with your own domain name.

    With $50 you'll need to look at free traffic sources (such as seo, article marketing, etc). I'd read up on them, then put that $50 into a domain and web hosting.

    It sounds like everyone agrees that a website with proper seo is the way to go and I agree with them. Kenster really made some good points as well. With $50 you should really consider learning to master free traffic.

      For $50 budget, honestly it's too low for doing paid traffic. I'd highly recommend you start your cpa journey with FREE traffic sources, like SEO (wh/bh), article marketing, yahoo answers, crags list etc.

      All the best

        Hosting for a quarter...if you meant a quarter year, then I want to live in your world...I would only be 20 years old!! If you meant a quarter like the monetary coin, then that's awesome!! How cool is it that you can buy hosting for 25 cents...who said you need money to make money in the online world!!

    Don't be discouraged that you are from India! instead, you should be determined to be a millionaire - if that billionaire guy can build a 27-storey home in Mumbai, so can you

    I'd say use the $50 for a domain and hosting then outsource some article writers to start getting links!

    If you are a designer, I recommend you to first build a better budget using your skills. Fiverr isn't the best place for you to be. Try the Warriors For Hire section on this forum, eLance.com, ScriptLance.com and other similar freelance sites.

    Build a nice site for you, organize a portfolio and start bidding on projects. Bid low in the beginning and rise the prices when you get some positive feedback. You can start making a consistent $500+, maybe $1K+ per month depending on your skills and how much time you can spend working online.

    I'm a former designer, so I know what I'm talking about.
