I am lost, where do I start?

I have been reading around this forum and noticed that there are so many ideas and methods to make an online income.
I want to try and promote some CPA offers, but I just need a good idea where to start.
I do not want to try SEO as I feel that takes to much time, so are there any other free traffic methods?

Is twitter a good place to promote something?

Any answers will be much appreciated.

    this statement really concerns me

    If you have any hopes of being successful in this industry you need to put the time and effort

    Also the other thing to realize if you are trying any "free" method opposed to paid methods the tradeoff is it typically takes much more time to produce results

    Welcome to the forum. Your will find answers to you questions by using the search button and I suggest you search for "newbie" and "cpa" to begin with.

    I also always recommend new people join the War Room. Lots of free stuff and benefits to being a War Room member and it is a one time fee. Check it out.

    However, in this business, you will spend money or time or both to really get anywhere. There is no fast easy button regardless of what all the hype sales letters say.

    :-)

    In one word.. NO.

    Twitter is a great addition to help your SERP rankings, but you will have better direct-success using Craigslist.

    And keep in mind that many networks frown on Craigslist > CPA offers.

    For the most part, Twitter isn't very good for CPA purposes. It can be, but many offers don't allow traffic from Twitter as it tends to not convert well.

    It's true, SEO takes time and effort, but once you have great rankings (somewhere at the top of 1st page) you will also have great results. SEO traffic is free, and it's highly targeted, if you do it right. I would suggest you to try with very low competition keyword, and give it a go.

    Other than that you could try forum marketing (find forums associated to your offers, and make posts there + signature), article marketing (simply write articles about what you are promoting, and put CPA offers inside), YouTube marketing (crate a simple video about your offer, and put your affiliate link in video description and create annotations), and there are MANY other ways to promote your CPA offers, sometimes you just need to think outside the box. Think where people that might be interested in your offer are at, go there and give them what they want, and you will get what you want.

      Do review sites go well with CPA? I am thinking of "keyword review" and try to promote an offer like that. Or are there better ways of promoting offers, like a blog?

      Youtube marketing seems like a pretty good idea as I know a lot about how youtube works and how to promote my videos.
      I'm a newbie too. There is so much to learn, and the desire to earn instant profits is overwhelming. But I think I've learned a ton from reading on WF, and one thing that seems clear is that we have to think of ourselves as the Tortoise. Read and absorb as much as possible, but at the same time dive in and experiment. Don't be discouraged when the first thing you try doesn't work out....or the second...or the third....eventually, if you set your mind to it and show persistence, we should be able to find a way to cash flow positive.

      Take my advice with a grain of salt, as I haven't even my my first sale!

        Thank you, it is nice to see that you are on the same page I am on.
        I have has success with promoting offers with a cash incentive, because that is guaranteed profits, but the amount you make is not nearly as great as with promoting without incentives, or at least no cash incentives.

        So I am trying to move onto this whole new industry. Unfortunately I am one of those people who want's to see instant success with no failure, but as everyone knows, it is all about trial and error. I really need to get out of that mentallity and I know for a fact that WF will help me through my journey.

        So as I said, I am going to try with some YouTube marketing as I have been reading a lot on that and have some ideas of my own.

        Thanks everyone.
