If I may toss in my 2 cents.

There is a big world outside of IM / MMO and even selling products.

For the past 16+ years, I have been promoting PPL (pay per lead) offers, which is just lead generation offers. The reason is that there is no credit card or purchase required to complete an offer. All a user has to do is fill out a form, so conversion rates are typically much higher than offers that require a sale to be made.

I favor offers that have a make, get or save money benefit to them, as they have overall performed the best. Plus they tend to have greatest mass appeal (will be of interest to a large general audience). So the potential exists to produce high volume and they are fairly easy to cross promote.

The bulk of the offers I promote pay $20-$40 per lead, but I also promote offers that pay more and less. However, what an offer pays out is not the sole key factor. How well it converts is just as important, if not more. For example, you could have an offer that pays $9 and if it is converting at 2X+ of a $20 offers, it will perform about the same or possibly better. At the same time, you could have an offer that pays $90 and if it converts poorly, it may not even be worth running it.

Some of the verticals that I have done extremely well with are: insurance, education, loans, assistance, credit, mortgage, debt, discount offers, homeowner offers, etc...

Bottom line, it's just simply far easier to get someone to fill out a short form than it is to get them to take out their credit card and make a purchase. So why beat your head against the wall trying to convince users to buy this or that, when you can just provide them with free info for something they actually want/need and get paid well doing it.

Something to think about.

Choosing a good product is very important but so is getting it in front of the targeted market. That is always the challenge.

That is a small intro, but is missing major aspects such as tracking, optimization, testing, etc...

HI,

In short, take actions in what you have learned. This is what differentiates from the successful and not. This is applicable for all industries.

Paid ads and tracking what gets you sales is the way to go and fast. Track which places get you the most sales and just rinse and repeat.

Really great article, a lot of info to make you think where your strategy might be placed, especially if you are just starting with this like I am.Thanks.
