UPDATE: this is turning into a case study. Subscribe to this thread and get full details on how you too can make this work. See below posts for more info

Hey Warriors,

I have some great news to share with you. Here is what I did...I created a bunch of flyers and posted them on apartment mailbox boards. In my town most apts have this board where people can post a flyer. Well anyway, I took a CPA offer and created a landing page. A simple landing page and then made a flyer attracting people to go to the site.

I used my shortest domain for this and got $50 in commissions since last night. I am stoked. Works people. Think outside the box. I am BRAND NEW to CPA affiliate marketing 3 days into it I am at $200+. See the screen shot below for proof.

    You would think nobody takes the time to look at flyers on those boards because there are so many.

    I guess that's what happens when you think.

    Time for me to get out there and try to duplicate this in my area. Would you mind sharing what type of offer worked for you? (email/zip, free trial, biz opp, etc.).

    Congrats on your success man, Keep it up!

    Great job Jonathan. You can actually outsource the flyer distribution on sites like Fiverr. You can really scale it up offline.

        To be honest with you, I have not tried outsourcing this method on Fiverr yet. I believe it can work very well... if the offer is good and it is presented to the RIGHT kind of people. I know 1 guy in this forum who outsources a lot of his flier distribution...

    Nice one buddy! Many of you think that offline marketing is not gonna give us better conversions with our respective CPA offers. This guy is a good example, so this idea is great!

    Did you prior to doing all this talk to your affiliate manager about it? Or did you just do it on your own? Because networks are careful when it comes to offline traffic. So I`m just curious as a newbie

    I PM'ed you already but wanted to post here too as it might benefit others reading this thread.

    Could you share some information about what kind of offers you promoted?

      Probably a very newb questions but why create a landing page and not just a redirect to go right to the offer?

    Hey everyone, I have been working on a few things and finally got back to reply to this thread. I am new to CPA affiliate marketing but definitely not to affiliate marketing.

    Anyway, the offer was a job offer..who don't know someone looking for a job right?

    I created a flyer with a QR Code as well as a www. list domain on it.

    This offer is with MaxBounty but you can use other networks to find similar offers. Another one I was going to try is a coupon offer. Everyone loves to save money.

    If you want to make money as an affiliate you have to THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX.

    UPDATE: I created the flyer with MWord and it was plain. Just said:

    NOW HIRING

    JOBS IN MURFREESBORO TN

    To apply go to MY URL

    Then here is where the QR code was placed.

    VERY SIMPLE but imagine if I had made it pretty or targeted a certain type of job. That is on the to do list. I am also going to do some direct mail for an offer for security for your home with direct mail.

    Sorry this reply is all over the place. In a hurry and it is time for bed

      I'm thinking about running a direct mail campaign. Waiting to hear back from my am on this. I think it will do well because I found a company locally that can provide me with addresses to some unemployed residents in my area and surrounding areas. That's the scaling and if I decide to do this I will save myself a little money and design the direct mail post card myself including the qr code and this time I'll have a special tracking link for the qr code alone. I want to test how many people actually used the qr code and that will let me know if I should just save my ink lol.

      I'll post an update soon and a post on my own forum with screen shots of the post card and more detail.

      I've gotten lots oc messages about this. I promise I will share everything when I complete my testing success or fail

      You newbies to CPA get creative and make a little money. Stop going the traditional route. Stick your neck out. Those who do are successful. If u fail the first time at least u have knowledge and information on something so u can tweak it. Aim for break even then monetize and scale your campaigns. Then pm me your results

    offline marketing with CPA can be profitable but some networks don't allow it.
