CPA+FLYERS+SMS Method - $200 overnight

What's up guys,

This past weekend I tested an idea that me and my friends came up with last weekend. We go out sometimes and hop nightclubs in my area and last weekend was one of those weekends.

When we came out the club at the end of the night there was a flyer underneath my windshield wiper which was promoting some pool party at someone's house or something..

I don't know why the idea started sparking that particular time but I always have flyers on my car at the end of the night when the club is over.

Well, me and my friends talked a little about it on the ride home. Next morning I woke up and printed out 200 flyers like this...

In the autoresponder that gets sent when they opt-in I looked for some incentive offers to promote. I found a "napster" offer that paid about 7 bucks and was incent-ok.

The opt-in message went like, "Congrats! In order to qualify for a chance to win, you have to sign up for napster here mydomain.com, look out for updates and other offers!"
So we went out again this past weekend on Friday and left the club a little early to flyer the cars.

We got all 200 flyers off in like 11 minutes tops.

Woke up yesterday morning with 93 subs and 29 leads.

So that was $200 overnight..pretty nice.

Leads and subs have been dripping in a little bit today. So far from our 11 minute flyering from Friday, I've made 42 leads.


Every 30 days, Im going to pick a random number and text them that they have been chosen as the winner.

I talked to the club already and they're VIP tickets are $25 and their two drinks will probably be around 10 bucks each. So that is about $45 that I will have to pay for this.

The offer is no cash incentive so my AM said I couldn't technically paypal them the cash for the ticket and drinks. So I called the club and asked if I could come pay for a vip ticket and a $20 drink voucher to give to my friend. They said it was cool but didn't really have drink vouchers so when I went up there I got the tickets and the manager made a handwritten little card and signed it good as $20 cash at the bar.

In 30 days when i text the winner, im just going to get their address and mail the voucher and ticket to their house so they can receive their winnings.

That first 200 flyer run was just my first test and it made me $200 overnight and I have over 100+ subs to market to now. I'm looking into more offers that I can send every week but now I plan on repeating the method with 2,000 flyers next time and hitting a couple different nightclub parking lots.

Need quick money? Hop on this next weekend.

Any questions, tips, suggestions, feel free to share. This method is nowhere near perfect and made me some good coin. We can work together and perfect this method to make some serious cash.

    Well I want to try something similar with offline cpa marketing + flyers.

    Gonna outsource it all ,will see what will happen.

    Alex
  • very cool method i'll try it
  • one question: about the flyers, do you print them by yourself or have someone do it for you? I can print 200, but not 1000, my printer can't do that kind of heavy job
  • I 100% outsource it! Ink is to expensive and 1000 flyers would be a pain.

  • usually, is there any local place to do this or you do this online?
    • [1] reply
    • I found a place where you get 5,000 ( quarter page ) flyers for around $120 or so. These were the club-style colored flyers that are supposedly good for doing promotions. I will have to look for the website and post the link for you.

      I haven't experimented with CPA and flyering much yet, but this is starting to get the juices flowing...

  • Now this is something that anyone here into this business may want to read, and I Strongly RECOMMEND you to read, this is about passing flyers. It can lead you to trouble if you are not careful
    How to pass out flyers
    • [ 5 ] Thanks
    • [1] reply

    • Yep this is a good read thanks.

      Always Safe than Sorry!
  • Today I did a research about passing flyers, well, it can lead to an arrest IF you don't know how to do it right. You have the right to pass flyers on public places but it depends on where you live. If it is private property, the owner can ban you from that place so make sure you ask for their permission before that.

    oh and stay away from places that have patrolling guards, they don't like it
    • [ 1 ] Thanks
    • [1] reply

    • You need to comply with local laws with everything you do not just Flyers. You could get in trouble and you may not it just depends.

      DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK!

  • Great info. It's a shame that I live in a smaller town with no clubs, otherwise I'd start this immediately.
  • Do you think most people are clicking the link in the text message and completing the offers on their smart phones?

    I was planning to use bit.ly to shorten the links, but if some are completing them on their PC's that is a tougher url to copy.
  • Hey guys, I gotta say I love this method and the idea is brilliant. I do not however have the luxury of having big clubs where I live and they're all pretty small. I was wondering if there was any other ideas where you could promote an offer that you could arrange with the establishment? (such as the VIP and free drinks) I think the wal-mart idea is clever but i would like to promote something that you can actually manage with the owner or person in charge there. Any thoughts?
  • Very nice. Simple concept, well executed and you've got a good chunk of profit. Well done!

    • I thought about this myself since i go out alot to partys and clubs but actually never tried it. But guess what some one actually too action and got results
  • We have publishers doing a similar method, but for VIP tickets to concerts, and really good seats to sports events! Granted the prize is more expensive, but that means the offer is much sweeter . It makes me happy to see you sharing this with the community!

  • This maybe a stupid question but hear me out: so say 200 flyers go out
    100 people text you
    50 people fill out the promo

    My question is how do I know which 50 of the 100 filled out the promo as I won't have a customer cell number in my cpa account.

    So I know which of the 50 is going to be my random winner.

    Sorry if I am missing something, I'm not quite grasping the way to correlate them to one another.
  • You can pay people on fiverr to pass flyers around too in case you are the person that never leaves home!
    • [3] replies
    • Fiverr would be my choice, I just know few night clubs in the town, and I've checked many of them, it's a little expensive for VIPs, so I'll try clubs farther.
      • [1] reply
    • Better to do it yourself or get someone you can trust, like a family member. I've tried fiverr for this and got no results. For all the time it takes, just go out and do it yourself.

    • The list you are building is all through a SMS Mobile Autoresponder. You then track the messages you send just like and email.


      Cool Idea! I use fiver for the graphics and flyer production.

      Yes this is the reality in most cases. Luckily, most of the methods I do with Mobile SMS is with the business owners and I get permission! Creativity is all you need for offline success

  • I have purchased your affilate commander and sms profit rocket, then I found this thread. You share a tremedous amount of information - which is greatly appreciated.

    I've had a little trouble with flyers at the colleges, but I was putting the flyers on the vehicles. Never crossed my mine to hire someone to "hand them out". That would get by the security guard in the parking lot.

    Thanks,

    • [1] reply
    • Depends on where we release the Flyers and what type of offer or business we are promoting.

      For sure! Let us know how it goes!


      Jerry that is the best part about offline is you can easily outsource. Believe it or not you can also ask permission of small business owners and etc. Most of the time if you explain to them what you are doing they will let you or give you an alternative.

      Thanks,

  • I just wanted to post again. First off, THANK YOU to the creator of this thread.

    I asked an affiliate manager if it was OK to basically create a domain name, redirect it to a CPA link, create and print fliers and distribute them around the city, on Fiverr, etc. Anywhere that someone will print them and then go hand them out.

    And he said it was OK after looking at my flyer!

    I can seriously see this just skyrocketing for me.. And it's all thanks to the OP.

    I never would have even thought about, mainly because its just so simple and easy to overlook once you get caught up in the whole online aspect of marketing!

    Also, a huge thanks goes out to Peerfly Corey - this guy cruises the web and answers all of the questions about the program on like.. any forum/blog/you name it and he's there.. I don't know how you do it, but you do it perfectly.

    That is a LOT of web to patrol but you have got this down to an exact science. And your posts are always professional, no matter how bad things sound from the start. And to make it even better, they always make sense! No fluff-posting or legal mumbo jumbo, just straight to the point answers that even a 3rd grader could understand.

    So yeah, I didn't want to create an entire thread for my wall-of-text, it's not needed. But I still felt obligated to publicly declare how awesome both of you are.

    That is all.
    • [ 3 ] Thanks
    • [1] reply

    • Hey thank you from both of us!

      Now one thing I do want you to know most city's have laws against randomly distributing flyers. This is a USE AT YOUR OWN RISK method.

      Check with the local laws and go after it. All the promotion I do is in legal places and if it is private I get permission

    I was thinking "I have got to invest in a full tank of gas sometime and hit every store within a couple hundred miles, then I remembered that we have reservations for next week!

    Hehehe this is gonna be awesome!

    I don't care what anybody says about Warrior Forum, this place is not so bad.

    It kind of sucks that they removed my signature without even letting me know why or what I needed to change, but whatever.

    Still great community here and lots of helpful topics.

    • Affiliate links and masked redirects to affiliate links aren't allowed in your signature. Welcome to the WF!

      • [1] reply
  • Oh..

    I personally don't see why not, but I would have gladly replaced the link with a different one if someone would have messaged me.. lol i could have easily changed them out
    • [1] reply
    • NP. Just build out a simple review site for the affiliate product you are promoting, or a squeeze page leading to a FREE offer. People will respect you more if you give them something of value, or give your honest opinion about a product you like, etc.

      Direct-linking to cpa offers or ClickBank products just makes you look like your everyday spammer, and no one respects that. ESPECIALLY Mr. Meyers!

  • I have been thinking of doing the same type of thing with bandit signs for CPA offers. Nightclubs is a great idea! Glad to hear that it is working out for you. Once you get any other kinks worked out and have some really good converting copy...you can use those flyer distributor companies and hit different cities all over the country! Fiverr is a great place for that too. I know here in the bay area there is a bunch of companies that have different areas of the city (and surrounding cities like berkley etc) that they will target for you as well.
  • yeah i see what you're saying.

    im in the process of negotiating to get my sig back, if/when i do, i will be promoting different sites than i was before anyway.

    but i definitely agree, thats why i got the domain name in the first place. that way it wasnt just an affiliate link when they moused over it, it showed an actual website.

    i know those direct affiliate links have horrible CTRs, especially when marketing to marketers. they are the biggest skeptics of all. lol
  • What a really clever idea! I've never done any CPA so I need to research and see what might work as an offer. Thank you for sharing!
  • If I promoting a particular WSO, can I send them straight to the affiliate link? Do I have to send them to a landing page - then to the affiliate link. Or I could just put a redirect on the domain.

    What are your thoughts?
    • [1] reply

    • I would rather send them to a landing page with an opt in box so at least you can start building a list and THEN when they opt in, you can direct them to the offer.

      That way the traffic you get once can be monetised over and over again (as long as you do not spam them!)
      • [ 1 ] Thanks
  • Yeah, I've been going to every business in town, asking if they would mind me posting it in the window.

    I've only had like 3 places say no because its against store policy, but even then they still took the flyers to post in the employee break room. LOL!

    So yeah just do it yourself. Guarantees results.

  • We live in the middle of nowhere. Its really really small. Like the hills have eyes small.. lol

    Which would probably explain why I haven't got any conversions from the fliers yet.. I think I might fill up the tank today and ride up to a more civilized city where people actually have a computer to go to the website in the first place...
    • [1] reply
    • Are you sending them to a website or using SMS marketing and QR codes??

      I tried giving away my WSO on this but apparently they didn't like that too much so took it down.

  • I have 2 different fliers that I'm posting up, 1 of them is for a "free" iPhone 5, the other is for a "free" laptop

    They direct people to:

    iphone.bestfreepc.com for the iPhone 5

    bestfreepc.com for the laptop

    It just says "See details @ (website here)" at the bottom

    You think I should try QR codes? Only problem with that is I can make them, but I have no way of knowing if they work (I dont have a smart phone) lol
    • [1] reply

    • The timing for this method is perfect school is back !

      Keep it simple I think you have..your just using domains to redirect correct ?

      I would also make your domains sound a bit sexier and personalized if your targeting college campuses.

      Something like FreePcforNyustudents.com

      Although its a bit longer its more specific and for the students it feels more exclusive, which is key

      Not sure what you mean by QR.

      Are you talking about subids ?
      • [1] reply
  • Just use delivr.com free and easy and work

    Yea the main thing about this method is the fact that you can build your SMS list

    I send them to a custom mobile landing page and try to get them to opt-in to my list.


    Flyers convert much better with short codes and QR codes in my experience.



    Chad
  • Yes, simply because for a URL they have to memorize or find something to write it down. But, for phone numbers, they can send a text right away, and nowadays everyone has a cell phone anyway
  • Here a question Im surprised no one asked:

    Where do you get a $7 payout for Napster, incentivizable no less?
    • [2] replies
    • Offervault.com --> search napster.. $6.20 offer there.

      Try signing up direct, they use commission junction, I assume it is higher direct.


    • Just search Offervault like the above answer

      Plenty of ringtone offers out there.

  • From the original post.."Woke up yesterday morning with 93 subs and 29 leads."

    • What size flyer would be best to use for handouts?
      • [1] reply
  • That's the way email submits work. In order to get the free offer, the person has to jump through a bunch of hoops.

    • [ 1 ] Thanks
    • [1] reply

    • I understand how it works!!! I don't care how many hoops a person has to jump through, he/she will never get the $1,000 Gift Card (Walmart, Target, Subway, etc.).

      Just go to Google, type in "Free Walmart Gift Card", follow the prompts, come back here and tell us what you bought with your $1,000 gift card!!

      In my test, I got LOST in the ad shuffle and that is exactly what is suppose to happen.

      Can you imagine everyone getting a FREE Gift Card!!!??

      The gift card offers are useless! In my opinion.

  • This would be something fun to do on the side. But as a main business function it's a bit of work just for a few hundred bucks.
    • [2] replies
    • I might be alot more than a few hundred if you can get them on a list.
    • I agree. I also doubt that spending 11 minutes on passing around flyers could net you an "easy" $200 either.

      If you broke even or profited on your first go-around I'd say you got lucky!

  • This sounds pretty cool haha and you can hire people on fiverr to help you out
  • Hey everyone sorry we both have been busy.....we made a new thread and will post more out of our WSO as the weeks come...here is the new thread...

    http://www.warriorforum.com/ad-netwo...roduction.html

    Also, the whole point of this is to teach you SMS marketing as a whole... This list you are building can turn into a whole side job. Like I said before my local lists are very profitable. Some local businesses are paying me 20 to 50 bucks per Mailing (texting) promoting local happy hours or specials.

  • The whole walmart thing is a no go. You can do this on property like that, they will catch on to you before you can take 3 steps toward a car, person, or pole and kick you out. You have to think deeper and come up with better places that have high traffic and allows you to reach them on public property.

  • Pretty smart method, I might try this.
  • Thanks for the great method. Do you suggest using fiverr for outsourcing the flyer or some company in US, since I am outside US.
  • I'm going to start this soon, I will do test with out mobile opt in then with mobile opt in.
  • Just got into learning the sms system. This is a great idea!
  • Try outsourcing people to pass out your flyers and such , ex. fiverr
  • If your network has problems with flyer traffic, send the traffic to a landing page first and include an aweber form with it to go even further and collect information to market to them further. If you think like your target audience you will make it work with the extra aweber step

    • I am not new to internet marketing but new to CPA. I took a great course by a guy who was teaching flyer marketing with clickbank/Cpa. He does very well with it and its basically on autopilot for him now.
      I was approved by CPAWay and they said they had a handful of people doing flyers ( it was a comment here on the warrior forum.) Honestly, its how I really want to promote CPA offers.
      Im happy to do the online stuff ( ie: youtube , PPc etc) but I was looking forward to getting out from behind my computer.
      One thing he did was partner with businesses that could use the CPA service ie; auto loan w/ small car dealer. I had a whole plan lined up but now after the fact Im hearing that the networks dont like it.
      Any comments?
    • I would like to know what CPA network has given approval for your flyer idea. ( please )

  • Great method as always Arron. Used this plus a couple others you've told me about now.
  • Okay this sounds like a great idea, thanks for sharing.
    Unfortunately I don't have a lot of time to go around passing around flyers.
    My question is HOW do you know those fiverr members or whatever form of outsourcing you do with flyers are actually HANDING the flyers out instead of throwing them on the floor, etc.?
  • YIPES!! Thank you, yes YOU, the OP for this inspiration! What I am thinking of doing is now starting to buy real gift certificates to local pubs and so on for this. OMG!

    Heyyyy.... I could try it out on my jewelry business, a free jewelry piece for filling out an offer, IFthey become selected to win it thru a contest where they have to fill out an offer to be entered. NICE! Thank YOU SO MUCH for this inspiration. I am joyful of this. I may contact you soon on Instant Messenger, If you don't have your IM listed, please send me an I.M. contact, whether it be AIM or YahooMessenger.

    CPA+FLYERS+SMS Method - $200 overnight

    *This method may not be for everyone, it involves flyers, and I know how touchy a lot of you are about leaving your home, so this is just for those who don't mind pounding some pavement, or paying someone to do it.* What's up guys,
