          you should find a coach.
          I agree with you Milker,If anyone want know about CPA affiliate marketing then he/she should consult with professional affiliate marketing coach,because they will give proper information.

    The best education happens 2 ways in my opinion.

    1. You go to the traffic sources you're going to buy from and watch what else is happening out there live right now. Often people want to buy a WSO or some system and most of the time if they're being sold most likely they're already dead strategies. If you go to the traffic source and study what's running and live right now. Then take those ideas and try to emulate them through trial and error. That's how you really learn.

    2. Have a network of friends that you can share ideas with. Sometimes people use forums for this. But often times as you get a little better you don't want to share your successes with a forum or the idea will get whored out and saturated in 2 seconds. So develop and close group of online friends that you're going to share and grow with.

    Those are the 2 very best ways to learn in my opinion.

    I thank everyone for taking the time to answer my thread. I intentionally posed the question as "How did YOU learn CPA marketing" instead of "How should I learn CPA marketing." Answers to the first question are more valuable in my opinion.

    Good posts, everyone is different though and sometimes you can lead a horse to water but cannot make him drink even if you stand on his neck and jump up and down.

    Some people will just never make it no matter how much they spend on courses or ebooks or coaching.

    Taking action is key.

    I learn CPA marketing by reading some cpa ebooks, I implement the methods, and finally formulate my own unique methods by combining some working methods
    {{ DiscussionBoard.errors[7071696].message }}
  • Profile picture of the author theimbible
    I used some eBooks, whatever I could find originally, and public forums such as this and BHW. After that it was just testing, testing and more testing. I got the biggest leap from that, just trying for myself and finding out what works and what doesn't, it has been said by many people but and the end of the day the difference between success and failure is just taking action the first place

    Blood, sweat and tears

    Started off because I knew someone in the business and after I bugged and bugged him he finally started explaining it, then told me "research ppc and google Adwords" and that's how I got started, back then there were no training programs. Nowadays it's so much easier to obtain the knowledge to make a profit.

    On my own and through a few products and forums!

    One on one coaching is by far the most expensive but also the best way to make the jump or add a zero at the end of your comm checks. Then I would do a private forum!

    My answer would definitely be "a,b,c,d,e,f".
    You need to read about others' experience in tutorials, e-books or private and public forums. But after that, you definitely need to work on your own, in order to find the methods that work best for you.

    This is good stuff. Always inspirational to see how others got into the business. Fail fast, get help, fail some more, get help and succeed! Learn this just like anything else, huh?

    Rather than others telling new people how they should learn I wanted to see how others learned themselves. It seems to me that many times people discount the impact of the way they learned, losing money and struggling, and tell others "This is the way you should learn."

    However, the suggested method may be a little too complex or seem to be easy and the new person becomes frustrated thinking that they are just doing things wrong.

    Just doing it seems to be the best way but then there is always the fear of getting your account banned by Google or MSN or getting kicked out of networks for doing things wrong, so starting in this business it seems you can't just be wild and wreckless either. All of your suggestions help me and I am sure helps other people getting started too.

    I think the key is just getting educated. It doesn't matter if it was from a forum, book, blog, friend or school.

    With technology always changing new strategies come to surface. A few years ago there wasn't Pinterest and even Twitter was just starting out.

    Consistency is key. ABL = Always Be Learning.

    Reading people's answers to the OP's questions, I have come to the following quick conclusions:

    - Most people learn by first reading an ebook or course, trying out the strategies and then later on adding their own unique twist and spin on the methods.

    - Private forums and/or personal mentoring/coaching are the best ways to speed up your learning rather than trying to gain all knowledge for free from public forums.
