I need help with my CPA earnings

6 replies
Hello fellow warriors!

So here is my story;

I'm rather new in the IM and to CPA, about 4 months in the business as I write this. But one day I said to myself why shouldn't I give it a go. You see, I have a very popular YouTube channel and blog site about a PC game called Football Manager or FM, I get lot's of views and unique visitors so why not make a little profit from it.

I love the game and it is really not that hard to do or write about something you love. So I have unique content, videos, downloads etc...

Okay, as I play the game I make my own files that people can download for their game, but I set a content locker from CPAlead before they can download it.

As I was saying i have lots of traffic (at least I think I have, could be mistaking), about 35k unique visitors, and 60% of them come form the search engines, and the rest from YouTube channel.

Lots of them come to my posts where the download files are but very small percentage actually clicks on the download link. Let's say if 1000 people come , I only receive 50 clicks on the download link.

I customized content locker window so it blends to my site, but it's not helping.

I think my site has more potential than this. But I cant put my finger on what I'm doing wrong.

I would really appreciate any kind of help from a more experienced CPA earner to help me out.

Oh and the site is FootballManagerBlog(dot)org

P.S. If you are using NOD32 you will get a false positive warring.

P.P.S. If anyone knows how to get rid of this warning, please do tell me.

Thanks.

    Hey, I took a look at you site, and some things did occur to me.

    First of all, the biggest 'download' image I saw was from an Adsense ad. I could see that being confusing to a lot of your prospects. I'd recommend replacing it with a banner for cpa offer. I also see a lot of gaming offers being promoted in your ad spaces. Why not cut out the middle men and promote those offers yourself?

    Secondly, I had to search for where to download the content. You'll want to make it more prominent, like a big animated button above the fold. I'd keep the dropdown menu that leads them to the individual pages. I think the pre-sell you do on those pages would be important for conversions. The download button could definitely be more prominent on those pages too. Make it big and colorful, but you still want people to know that it's part of your content, and not an ad.

    I wish you the best!

      I read at least 50 books regarding to CPA, but all of them are about easy money methods, I didn't really find an ebook that says how to optimize your surveys and content lockers for better conversions. :confused:

      If you know of any, please do tell.

    First of all thank you MTVida.

    For sure I'll make a more eye catching download button, that just might do the trick.

    And regards to the gaming offers, well I couldn't find an affiliate program for that exact game. Goal United is a part of the TravianGames but there is no affiliate program, so I had to go with Webgains.com on this. At least I think there is no affiliate program to promote this game, as I didn't find it anywhere on their site.

      I wouln't worry too much about finding the exact offer that's showing. Chances are good that you could find an even better one with a little testing.

      Go to Offervault and do some searching through the different game offers.

        I totally agree with MTVida - don't worry so much about finding the exact game offer, but one that is attractive to your audience.

    Ok, I took a look at your site.

    It is important to know how many visitors you get to your download pages. If only a small portion of your visitors go to the download ages then you need to change the way of promoting your download page.

    This is how I do my own content locking: The gateway pops up when the page loads and I use blamads instead of cpaleads.

    Also, you need to test different offers. I do that with my own campaigns and I find that some offers convert better than the others. You can check with your AM that what offers work best with your type of traffic.
