    Are you wanting to do this as a publisher or advertiser? If you are wanting to actually have people performing the actions or whatever for you then you will have to have money or something to give them in return - anything they could find valuable. Even if it is like a free ebook or membership - but was there a certain CPA network you were interested in?

      Using paid traffic is the most scalable approach, you will be busy enough getting sales pages and ads together, without having to spend a bunch of time creating SEO worthy sites too. There is always more advertising traffic to be found, once you identify a winning campaign you will want to scale up.

      Granted you may reach the point where you have to float a month or 2 of income in advertising money util you have a company with a credit rating.

      Too bad the bargain conversion campus WSO with 10 hrs on paid traffic is over, but he seems to be offering a warrior discount on the bigger followup course until the end of October?

    If your on a low budget, you should consider "free" methods such as SEO, Facebook fan pages, youtube, article marketing, etc.. just do a search on these forums, it should give you a good idea on how to get started with any of these methods and just ask as you go along..

      Basically anything related to social networking, media, or bookmarking will work for you on a tight budget - once you make the money back then start investing it in more serious advertising

        On a low budget the best thing would be seo, but it takes the longest.

        So what I would do is, still go the seo route but depend on your backlinks for your initial traffic (articles, web 2.0 Props, videos*, forums, blogs...) I would do everything manually, you will get much better results. Do about 15 of these a day.

        Funnel your traffic to the offer, -try to set up your traffics intentions to sign up before they get to the actual offer. (ON EVERY SINGLE BACKLINK) After some months you should be starting to rank depending on your initial keyword research and on-site seo. At the same time build a list so you won't lose all your traffic.

        Up until then you should be making some conversions consistantly, and continue to from the traffic sources and now search engines. And now you should be utlizing your list aswell, find offers that allow you to do e-mail campaigns.

        This will work, but you will have to work as well.

        Don't try to find a shortcut, when you don't even know where your going.

    I'd recommend you go for SEO, which provides a long-term traffic.

    We have lots of clients who are promoting CPA offers with us here at 7Search due to our low cpc. It is allowing them to back out on their respective cpa's. I would be happy to speak with you in more detail if you would be interested. You can best reach me at bstanley at 7Search dot com.

    Thanks to all of you who have been active in here and reached out to me. I try to be as accommodating as I can.

    Brad

    thanks for info from everyone.

    I've done traditional PPC with typical affilaite offers and made just enough to break even, so I'm hesitant to do any PPC for this because CPA doesn't generate much per sale. going to investigate 7search, never heard of it before

    thanks!

      By the looks of it you could have made it profitable and then scaled it up.
      Break even is a good starting point from which you can optimize, don't expect every campaign to be successful right off the bat

    hey Aviator Joe,
    I understand what you're saying & I don't expect every campaign to be profitable. But none have been homerun's. I just barely squeak by & get my money back. I've also noticed that some campaigns at Neverblue can have over 200 clicks without a single conversion which just isn't realistic. I think there's a ton of bad things happening behind the internet curtain.
