About Paid Traffic

It is true of you promote the products of $400-$1000 You have chance to make high commissions but doing it via cold traffic is a mistake. You need an endorsement from someone who has been nurturing their subscribers. I believe products less than $50 can be sold via cold traffic but anything substantially more requires you to create and build trust.

I agree all types of traffic is good, free traffic requires more work on yourself. also look into auto traffic systems they work around the clock and they are usually cheap but also slow going.

Melvin, i agree with you on finding a good solo vendors. The sad reality is that selling solo clicks has itself turn into quick business. A reputed business vendor is a must as his/her reputation on the line, so they don't do fraud games. Imagine this, you can get clicks for pennies for push notifications. So some vendors are sending this push notification, clicks from facebook groups where multiple vendors click for each other as a helping hand etc. But email traffic in reality is a very matured traffic in the sense that these are people who have problems and needs that have not been met, and these are people who have opted in with the hope that they can fulfill their dreams and desires someday. so a highly converting offer and funnel can really give you good returns on dollars spend.
Every clicks from solo email is a persoperson saying , i really do have a problem.and hoping you've got a solution for me.

Paid ad is a skill. You need to have a system not a throwing a mud-against-the wall approach and hoping it will stick.

You don't just want a lots of traffic but a specific audience that will respond to what you are selling. Think all the traffic as coffee grounds on a filter paper and down comes a smooth coffee-brew. That smooth coffee-brew is our best quality traffic.

Yes, I had that issue before, received some refunds and started to be rejected by some sellers.

Not all the sellers provides good traffic, with the surge of clickbanking some clicks and the results from them are dubious.

Medon, quit sugar-coating stuff. If it was that easy everyone would be millionaire in the town.

It's like saying, " if you can drive a car, driving nascars is easy".

Not saying you can't do it. It's just the skill set between the two are totally different

You've got all the bad traffic sources.
Good sources of traffic are facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter, Bing, Google, LinkedIn and Native Ads.

For example, you are promoting
aweber; using Twitter as an example , I can target Twitter handle @warriorforum.
Now that's very targeted traffic. If you have better pricing on aweber you can target people who follow @getresponse or vice/versa. That's laser targeted
traffic that would most likely buy our product.

The more you focus on one quality traffic source the higher chances of success. Focusing on too many traffic sources without mastering one can lead to more frustrations and worse being sceptical about paid traffic altogether.

It's the system, process and structures that are important. You cannot just have one ad and if it doesn't work, you say, " it doesn't work or walk away from it". Most importantly trying to find out why it didn't work is very crucial to furthering your learning and becoming more skilled.

Yes retargeting, is very effective. Whether it is facebook, Google or any other ad network. Say you got 1000 visitors via solo ads and only 500 opted in. The rest 500 just didn't get to see the offer. So, you can retarget the 500 to go and check out your offer. It's crucial to understand that 500 who came to your website didn't come by accident. There is a reason why they came. Although they didn't opt in, the offer might appeal to them. So retargeting them to go check out the offer would be very sound. Also retargeting all the visitors who didn't buy would be pretty sound. But this is hard if you are promoting a product as an affiliate, as you don't know the people who bought the product. But if you are smart enough you could always market those people with something different via Facebook. A person who bought a affiliate marketing course would very likely buy a paid traffic course because one of the challenges as an affiliate marketer is doing paid traffic and on and on it goes....

LinkedIn is mostly geared towards professionals. So; it depends what you are going to sell them. Anything related business, investment, finance, technology would more likely sell . Unlike facebook where you have practically everyone on it, LinkedIn is a different crowd.
