CPA is Cost Per Action. Here you do Media Buying and you will pay only when someone purchases your Product. Unlike PPC, CPA is very expensive, but gives good results.

Affiliate marketing is a great way to get started and I also recommend using a funded proposal as well.

Most people use clickbank to get started but you need to read their terms very closely. Some people complain about not being able to get their money out of clickbank until some terms are met.

Good luck

Take your time but not forever to decide your plan of action. Then do it, REview what happened then revise and go again. Good luck

Make sure you put a lot of study and effort into selecting the right niche before you do anything else. I would advise anyone when selecting a niche that it will be much easier to stay focused if you chose a niche that you are passionate about, even if you are not an expert on it.

Once you are sure about your niche just find something to sell and do it. You will not learn unless you try it. If you read 100 books on how to ride a horse it does not mean that you can get straight on a horse and know how to ride it. It you have to take a few falls to really learn

Also you do not have to pay out for a website and hosting to start affiliate marketing so do not let lack of funds prevent you getting started. You can use places like squidoo, hubpage and blogspot to set up your affiliate page for free to start with.

Hi Deepk.

Let me add two main steps:

7. Get visitors to your website on your mailing list.

8. Pitch your affiliate offers to your subscribers.


---

In other words, don't just send your hard-earned traffic off to the vendor's sales pages. You'll probably never see that traffic again.

Instead, focus on building a list of targeted leads. Then sell a whole sales funnel full of products to these leads. IN other words, build up an autoresponder series of evergreen offers and content, as well as sending them regular live (broadcast) messages (part content, part product recommendations).

For example, let's say you're selling dog training stuff. You'd promote dog training books, videos and other info products to your subscribers. You'd also promote physical products like leashes, collars, agility courses and the like.


---

Also, don't just send your prospects to a vendor's page. You need to pre-sell them. You need to make those prospects want the product before they even see the sales page. To do that, offer your personal review.

Secondly, add value to your offers. That means giving people a bonus if they purchase -- now --- through your link. This bonus is usually something that's perceived to have a high value, but it's inexpensive and easy for you to deliver, like a free report or course.

For example, anyone who buys an agility course through your link gets a free ebook or video about how to train a dog on an agility course.

Another example: Someone who purchases a dog crate and a bottle of "Nature's Miracle" enzymatic spray gets a free housetraining report from you.

cheers,
Becky

Hi friends

Thanks for some great replies and advice. But i still havent found answers to some of the questions in my post. Hope some other warrior will find this.

Deepk

I have to agree with the list building focus from R hagel, it is affiliate marketing. It's one of the least hassle, and low cost ways to make money quick

start up cost:
$18-$19 per month for autoresponder - get response has got some great feature like surveys and video emailing!
$6.95-$10 per month host - I like hostgator great service
$6-$10 for a domain for a year

Here's what you do grab a plr product, add some extra value like new chapters and more content, make it unique. Go and get the graphics changed cost you about $30-40 bucks somoene on here could do it or go to the lancing websites, elance.com, guru.com etc and post the job.

create squeeze page with image of product and an optin form

now here is the missing link, go enter a few giveaway events
( basicaly you submit your squeeze page into a kind of promotion that gets tons of traffic all looking to download offers , so you build your list andthe event creator builds his)

I started like that along with a whole bunch of guys I know

This will build your list to around 200 super fast, then all you do is go to jv section of warrior forum and start negotiating adswaps, you will hit 1000 in just a few months if you swap 3x a week or so then just send them aff offers through clcik bank etc

Don't forget the power of article marketing
Catherine

Get an aweber account, learn how to make an squeeze page. Then build traffic and send it to that squeeze page.

Use article marketing, video marketing and web 2.0 from the start then use SEO on your own blogs and web properties for high rankings.

Get enough subscribers, then feed them with good quality info, build trust, then when you have enough trust, send from time to time a recomendation to your affiliate offer (which it should be a good offer), then collect the money.

Sent you a pm.

About Affiliate Marketing -
Affiliate marketing requires time, work and patience. You MUST build a list in order to have someone to sell to. That's the tricky part. If you only think of your subscribers as your "LIST" you won't get very far. Your subscribers are people. They have the same hopes, dreams and fears that you have. Take time to get to know them and to let them get to know you. Prove to them that they can trust you by taking a personal interest in them.

How can you get to know people who are nothing more than first names and e-mail addresses? How do you know what to offer to these invisible people? Talk to them! Ask them what they want to know, learn, or buy - and then give it to them. An autoresponder is an invaluable tool, but it is usually not very personal. Sometimes, especially when your list is small, you can actually get to know your subscribers. Believe me, it's worth the effort.

Choosing an Affiliate Product -
There are thousands of affiliate products on Clickbank and other sites. How do you pick a winner? I won't even go into choosing a niche and/or product. There is a wealth of information about that on this forum.
Here is something to keep in mind - If you are going to be using PPC, or CPA - choose a product that you could recreate, making it bigger, better, more valuable. If you are getting a 50% commission and are breaking even - or close to it - using PPC, create your own product, point your PPC ads toward it and you will instantly double your profits!

About CPA -
CPA means cost per action, as opposed to PPC which is pay per click. You can spend an amzing amount of money on PPC ads by getting clicks from people who are only slightly curious about your offer - and never intend to buy your product.

Cost Per Action advertising is expensive, even when compared to Pay Per Click, but there are certain advantages which make it my choice for paid ads when compared to the PPC crap shoot. If the ACTION is to click a "Buy Now" button you should make a profit from each click. If you find the right product, CPA can be a "no brainer". Here's a recent example of this. There is at least one marketer today who NEVER loses money on his CPA campaign.
Yahoo, MSN and AOL are all desperately competing against GOOGLE. They will pay you $2.50 every time you get someone to accept and install their toolbar on a browser. This marketer has found a source that will let you download 10,000 Smilies, free. His CPA ads offer "10,000 Smilies FREE when you install a FREE toolbar on your browser". As there is no purchase required, thousands of people are responding and he earns $2.50 each time. His CPA ads cost him a fraction of his profits.
You could start this campaign on a budget of $5.00 a day and roll your profits back into more ads until you are making a decent profit. NO BRAINER!

Even though I like in the UK I found it was more profitable for me to promote CPA campaigns then promoting UK goods, just my experience.

An easy way to do it free.
1. Fined a product
2. Go to click bank and see if you like any product to promote
3. The free version without needing to spend money Twitter, Facebook andLinkedin
With twitter to build a list simply use Twittollower , tweet daily and set up feeds and
You're on your way

Hi, I'm replying to your mail, (a bit late, sorry, I was quite busy these days on some web projects) to answer to your questions, I'm used to build websites with an SEO WordPress theme, which allow some advanced design customisation, I could send you some examples of my work if you could give me your email, not yet allowed to send private messages here!
