Best source of traffic for affiliates

17 replies
Hey guys,

I'm not sure if anyone here is familiar with Ryan Moran, but he has just launched a new product, which I already had access to. It's called Freedom Formula 8. Pretty sweet little product. Shows you how to build an email list starting directly as an affiliate. You're basically creating a one page lead capture page and then directing them over to an sales page through your affiliate link. You then proceed to follow up with more helpful tips, product suggestions, and eventually you're own products if you so choose.

All squared away with that part.

Where I'm STUCKkkkk is driving traffic ANNDDdd I'm concerned with the quality of traffic.

I would assume that there is a difference in driving traffic to you're own product, then, being the same guy who's selling that product, follow up with them to continue building your name with that product and providing additional free content to be cool then also promoting products as an affiliate.

That's a pretty standard business model, which is model I would love to have well rounded one day for myself.

However, this method allows you to test markets quickly as an affiliate to basically see if you jive with that particular crowd and can sell to them without any unnecessary stretch of effort that may happen if you're not really suited to sell in a given market.

So with all of this said, does anybody have any good advice as to where I can drive some QUALITY traffic to a single lead capture page to sell as an affiliate at first?

I will be directing them to a sales video while also indicating that they will receive a newsletter from me with additional tips, product suggestions, and free email coaching.

What do you guys think?

      Yes, I'm on the brink with both of these traffic sources. I want quality on youtube instead of quantity. I think that would serve me better than throwing up half-assed videos.

      Do you have any suggestions for paid traffic where a page/offer like this would be well received by viewers? I thought about Facebook, but I don't really know if a page like that would be appropriate as far as Facebook is concerned..

      FYI, I'm in the pick up/dating niche for men so that should give you a good frame of mind where I should be placing ads.. I'm specifically looking for an ad platform that would be appropriate for an affiliate to advertise on with a one page opt in form..

        Try BingAds. I've used them for traffic to squeeze pages. Put some text on it so you don't get a terrible quality score. I've found 5 bullet points and good heading is enough. I know that's a bit much for a squeeze in some cases, but it's a balance between quality score and conversions. Quality score will dictate to a large degree how much traffic you get.

        Don't forget to set a daily budget or you could spend a lot of money fast.

    Paid traffic
    Forget social media - people go there to socialize not buy affiliate products.
    Best - Google/Bing PPC

      Hmmm.. considering the nature of your site, I would disagree. People do not go anywhere to click on ads, but when they see something that matches their interest, they would click. FB would be a good option, IMHO.

    For the fastet growth of your list and sales count I would recommend PPC..

    There are many PPC networks where you can get the traffic for cheap, you just need to put an effort in creating all those campaigns, but once when you do create them, it's all on autopilot..though you need to have initial cash for investment into PPC, but it pays off very quickly

    Best of luck

    Ryan is very sharp. Freedomformula8 was a great product that I would tell anyone to get. However for newbies I don't think he covered enough info on traffic sources. Solo ads and Article marketing where the only traffic source he discussed. I wish he would've dabbled a little bit more in the PPC, CPA, CPL traffic sources.

      You should try Pof ads if you havent already. Dating offers work well on there. One page squeeze page offers work if your focusing on getting quantity of leads instead of quality. Getting quantity can still work out if you are able to push alot of leads. But you may also get flagged for spaming and you CTR on your emails wont be so good but if you are pushing mad quantity it should still work out. Just need to get cheap traffic thats why i suggest Pof ads traffic pretty cheap. And there are alot of Wso's on this forum that teach you about Pof

    Paid stuff - Solo Ads, or if you know what you're doing with them PPC.

    Free stuff would probably be forums and commenting, YouTube, then article marketing or content on your site, and social media.

    I think your should try buying ads at Plenty of Fish and banner ads at Buy Ads | BuySellAds . These two places are great for the dating niche.
