Hi everyone,

Like the tittle says. The more I read and teach myself about this whole thing the more confused I get. I mostly want to do CPA and would like to know if there is a step by step course out there that you recommend. I tried signing up for CPA evolution 2.0 but seems they aren't taking any more people.

    You have to stop reading at some point and jus start trying stuff. You'll learn way more from trial and error than you will from reading 'how to's' all day IMO. I'm not saying not to seek out professional advice, but do so when you're experiencing a certain problem with your strategy you're actively implementing.

      From my experience, learning a bit, putting that new knowledge into practice and speaking to an established pro - whether you hire them or they allow you to pick their brain, for free, for a few seconds - are keys to overcoming analysis paralysis.

      I'd had success with my blog for a while, but speaking to a top blogger about how to build bonds and get solid links in through effective guest posting sold me on the strategy and also dissolved anxiety and analysis paralysis I seemed to be suffering through.

      I learned some about guest posting, from various blogs, spoke to a pro's pro, listened to his advice and dove in to write like the dickens and to guest post a bunch, honing my skills along the way.

    Affiliate / CPA marketing is simply the marketing of products/services that aren't your own and tour paid a commission for generating a conversion.

    I've been promoting affiliate / CPA offers for over 16 years. IMO, the most important thing that you want to learn is how to generate targeted / cost effective traffic / leads.

    At the same time, the offers you promote can be equally important. However, you could have the highest converting offers that exist, but if you can't produce traffic to the offers then what does it matter. Finding what offers are best is just a matter of testing, but again, if you don't have traffic, you can't test.

    In general, you want to drive traffic to a squeeze page and capture users email addresses by offering some form of information that is relative to the offer you are promoting in exchange (bribe) for them proving their email address. Then you send them to a presell page (if needed) or directly to the offer landing page.

    My 2 cents on presell pages is that if the offer doesn't convert well with out one. Then the advertiser should have one (proven to convert) that when you redirect the user using the link for the offer, the presell page should be built into the process. So the user automatically goes to the presell page and then gets sent to the offer landing page. Because I don't want to be wasting my time having to create one and all the testing that goes along with it.

    Statistically, most users won't convert. This is why you capture their email address. That way you can follow up with them and continue to promote the offer. At the same time, you can use a retargeting pixel (Facebook) and retarget all the users with your follow up process.

    Obviously, all the steps in the entire process are going to affect the overall success you have and will require a bunch of testing.

    Anyway, I hope that clears up some of your confusion.

    I can also tell you what has worked best for me for the past 16+ years.

    I heavily promote PPL (pay per lead...lead generation) offers. This is because there is no credit card / purchase required to complete an offer. All a user has to do is fill out a form, so conversion rates are typically much higher compared to 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 worked the best. They also tend to have the 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 on the back-end.

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

    The bulk of the offers that I promote pay $20-$40 per lead, but I also promote offers that pay more and less. You don't want to get too caught up on what an offer pays because how well it converts is just as important. For example, if you have an offer that pays $9, but if it converts at 2X or more of a $20 offer, then it will perform about the same or possibly better. At the same time, if you have an offer that pays $90 and it converts poorly, it may not even be worth promoting.

    Bottom line: it's far easier to get someone fill out a short form than to get them to pull out their credit card and make a purchase. So why struggle with trying to sell this or that, when you can provide free information that users want/need and get paid well doing it.

    I drive traffic by acquiring 3rd party email data, which is data that the users have shown an interest in a specific vertical(niche) and have given permission to receive messages from third parties. You get the opt-in record for every user and it's 100% can-spam compliant.

    By acquiring data, I'm building assets that I then own and can market to over and over at very low cost. So I control and can drive traffic on-demand to the offers I'm promoting. Which is key to CPA / affiliate marketing success. However, 3rd party data will rarely be as responsive as a high-quality opt-in list you build yourself. But it really doesn't matter because it is much cheaper and highly scalable compared to convention list building.

    You don't want to just buy data blindly and you want to get it from reputable sources. You should always test a small, but adequate size sample and see how it performs. Then based on your test you will have a much better idea how quickly it will take to get break-even and what it is really worth to you.

    The key to making it work long term is to always be collecting your opens / clickers, segmenting, and removing unresponsive users. That way over time you are building smaller, but more responsive lists that you should eventually be able to send less and make more with each mailing. Essentially you are converting the data from quantity to quality.

    Basically, I monetize the data using PPL offers because they offer the path of least resistance to generating conversions($$$) and converting the data into cash producing assets. So it's really been the combination of the two PPL and data acquisition that has worked so well for me.

    Fresh / targeted 3rd party data is widely available for PPL verticals because they have mass appeal and a lot of data is generated on a daily basis for them. Where small niches or ones that are mainly driven by sales, for the most part, are more difficult to find if they even exist.

    Obviously, there is more to it, but done right it can be extremely profitable. Everyone that I know that is in the business and knows what they are doing, for the most part, does 6-7 figures. While that's a huge range, much comes down to one's ability to scale and effectively build / manage the infrastructure needed to scale.

    Something to think about.
