What are Great Free Methods in Marketing CPA? Any tips on how you do it?

First of join a CPA network.

After picking some offers i suggest you start writing articles and doing youtube videos. That's what i have learned so far reading the WF.

Do some digging around here and you will certainly find useful tips!

If you can find some low competition keywords in your niche, you can target them in order to get free search engine traffic to your offers. How you do this is a long story, but if you can rank on page 1 for your main keyword, eventually you will get visitors and leads.

I have three different niche websites where I promote different offers and they all get organic visitors and generate some leads almost every day. I'm working to improve their rankings though.

incentives is huge on Facebook

You can make money with no money down I used YouTube to promote Email Submits like the Free Droid and Free iPad. Just make a YouTube channel built around the Offer you're promoting. Post comments on other videos and channels

Great methods....you tube...twitter....facebook pages

I have a lot of facebook pages ranging from 500 to over 10,000 members. I have never advertised any of them You can imagine I have made some good money with a few of these! Focus on building a real relationship with your fans and you can convert offers upwards of 50%

I see you are already joined Peerfly. They are very good cpa network look for some good offers related to your niche since you already have a blog.

Start learning seo, there is lot of resources on this forum build some free blogs if you don't have any money, and go for it.

Got traffic already but no conversions...

Will wait... I think I better get more targeted traffic...

Well I can suggest you only for SEO. The more you can generate traffic for your site, the more possibility to convert your traffic into buyers.

You need to learn what's a niche and try to find some low competitive keywords. Get a domain, and then yahoo answers is a good place to promote. You should also know the rule of yahoo answers.

For more Info, send me a PM or drop me an email. I can give you a free guide.

I think that forum marketing is one of the easiest routes for beginners who have no money to invest.

Choose a specific vertical, do some research and find a few forums in your niche that have decent traffic and start making useful posts. Never spam the forums, just contribute to the community and use your sig to drive traffic to your offers.

When I was completely new, I was doing classifieds arbitraging, offline marketing, forum marketing, bum marketing.

All are free or nearly free and all are a lot of work...but they do work.

You can always get a hosting account at hostgator for 1 penny the first month and then just a few bucks a month thereafter. A domain is only a few bucks and Wordpress is free, so you can have a professional looking site up for just a few dollars.

Jonat:

No, I doubt that was what he was driving at. I've done a good bit of YouTube marketing myself, and the point here is to build a channel that is designed around whatever you happen to be promoting, complete with videos. At that point, you'll start commenting on other videos and channels to raise awareness of your own.

If you want fast money. Find people who are hungry for your products.

Try this.

I would go around searching in forums, blogs and social media to see if they are people asking for that solution.

Example..

Its easy to spot them. Example..

Like in this forum, people will ask many questions relating to Traffic. You find a traffic Affiliate product. Then you go to them. Make friends with them via PM and send them the link after a few posts.

Its a lot of work though but it works for me when I use this on Facebook. I get sales immediately or at least in a day.

Here's how you can write to someone.

The first PM message could be something like this..

Hi (name),

I've seen your posts about generating more traffic to your website. Can you share with me what you have done so far to get traffic to your site?

--- let the person reply --- this first PM is to allow you to know their problem better...

Next PM..

If the person replied so and so.. At least now you know what other options to give him. Then go search on the net or in your affiliate network for possible solutions and affiliate product to solve his problem.
Give away one tip that he can try out from that affiliate product.

If it works for him, definitely he will come back to you and make a purchase.

So the principle behind this:

1) Identify the problem.
2) Look for possible solutions and offer a teaser.
3) If they want to know more give them the full offer.

Hope this tip helps you in getting your first sale.

Hi clarissa29,

I empathize with you. Online marketing can be frustrating. You work and work, try many different things, yet most things that you try don't make money.

Even if they do work, you make small money; pocket change.

Don't give up hope though. Try to setup mini-goals for yourself. The first goal would be to get enough money to pay for your own website.

Since web hosting cost about $10 a month. Your goal is to make $10.

Making $10 using CPA requires that you make either

1) One recurring offer conversion like weight loss

2) Two dating offer conversions or

3) Nine email submit conversions.

The first CPA offer type requires a lot of impressions in order to convert. The second takes less. The third even less.

So pick your offer based on the kind of traffic and expertise that you have.

Speaking of traffic, it is very tedious to get organic traffic to your Blogger site. That's the honest truth.

You have probably tried article marketing. From my experience, each article averages about 10 visitors.

Since a conversion takes at least 100 visitors to an offer on average, you will need 10 articles published.


It takes about 30 minutes to write an article. So 10 articles would take 300 minutes or 5 hours.

5 hours for 1 conversion... Hmmm. Is that worth your time? Maybe. The answer depends on your situation.

As an alternative, you could write articles for a fee. Many internet marketers pay about $4 per 400 word article. So writing 10 articles would earn you $40.

How to marry the two methods:

The benefit of pointing article links to your Blogger site with a CPA offer is that the links are passive. You will continually get traffic.

Contrast with this writing for pay where you get paid only once.

To marry the two methods, write two articles that are similar. Sell one and post one in the article directories.

This way, you get paid for your work upfront. Then the articles that you post on the article directories may pay you if someone fills out your CPA offer.

I hope this method gets you to goal #1.

@Hilal, thanks for the input... I tried making Facebook page now. But can you tell me the right way?

@williamrs , that's how I get my traffic now, it takes time to pick up but I'm pretty sure as people start to trust me they will start signing uo for my CPAs.

@kenster, I agree that it is indeed a lot of work... Starting it out with making Squidoo lenses, and it's tiring. But I know it will work! About the hosting, yeah, I think that is something I shou'd do, it's hard to get organic traffic using blogger, like in my sig now. It's driving some traffic but not really searchable in search engines.

@Alex Tran, Thanks for that. I see that you also checked my blogger site in order to give me these tips! Thanks...

You're right about blogger not getting organic traffic, I noticed I just get mine from forums I joined. It really is hard work. I will try to look for marketers who can hire me now so I could already earn like what you've said.

Thanks for the input everyone! I almost lost my motivation but got it back after reading these. Hey, your inputs will still be welcome here.

By the way guys, when I do article marketing can I direct link the CPA offer? Or am I right doing it like directing it to my blogger site?

I'm really wondering how come my site and CPA offers are getting clicks but not converting. Argh.
