Easy Way To Make Money Offline - With Absolutely NO Competition!

16 replies
People are always looking for new and fresh methods which can help them achieve their dream of having the freedom to work for their self. There is no reason why this method can’t make you enough money to live off if you scale it and outsource the workload once you have tested and found a formula that works for you.

Anyway, let’s get on with it...

Step 1: Join ANY CPA network. It's really not as hard as people make out. If you get rejected at first, then simply contact an affiliate manager via phone or AIM and ask why you were rejected, and what you have to do to be accepted. This alone is usually enough for them to OK your application.

Step 2: Have a printer or a friend/associate/member of family who has a printer.

Step 3: Read on and actually take action and try this once you’ve finished reading...

Anyone who is a member of any CPA network will know... There are a lot of email/zip submits that offer vouchers/possibility of winning vouchers for these big brand stores. For example, I'm from Scotland and we have the likes of Tesco, Asda, Sainsburys, Morrisons (all supermarkets), Next, Argos, PC World etcetara etcetara (we've all seen the multiple offers that vendors use to promote their email/zip submits using these huge brand names.) American equivalents are Walmart, JC Penny, Target and many others (Probably loads of American alternatives to these, being in UK I only know a few of them though).

Here’s the actual money making part of this method...

I'm assuming that in America, as in Scotland, these huge retail stores have massive car parks (parking lots?). Use your printer (or afore mentioned contact's printer) to print off business card sized flyers stating something along the lines of...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Get your FREE [Insert store name] £250 (<--- or whatever monetary value network's offer states) Voucher at:

we're-giving-away-FREE-vouchers.com/.info (<--- .info if you have literally next to no money, I think you can even get .co.cc's for nothing.)

Hurry, Limited time only. (or some similar call to action).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, you (or even better, pay some teenagers next to nothing) put one of these business card sized flyers under the window wiper every car in the car park of the store, every day of the week. Alternatively, you can just slide it in between the gap in the rubber seal and the window of the driver’s door, that way you don’t have to touch the vehicle at all.

How many of these huge stores do you have near you? Unless you live in the middle of nowhere, it's going to be a lot. There is no reason why you can't buy a domain for each different store and have teenagers place these business card sized flyers under every window wiper/on driver’s door of every car in the car park with your marketing message on them.

The amount of people who pass through these stores is crazy, especially at the weekend. The amount of people who will also take these flyers home and fill out the email/zip submit offer that you have redirected/iframed on your domain is also crazy.

You can also add another part to the monetisation if you like...

Take the likes of fortumo.com, daopay.com or zaypay.com (I've never used any of these companies in the past so I don't know if they pay, but if somebody is texting a number to get these vouchers, they are almost definitely going to visit the webiste and fill out the offer) and get a text word and number... By this I mean...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Text OFFER to 88888 to get your FREE £500 ASDA voucher (For example)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now, every person has been given two opportunities to make you some money. The reason being that these SMS companies charge each person up to £10! (You recieve up to £6/$10 per text sent, it's up to you to select the cost of text, in the UK OFCOM insists you must clearly display how much the text message will cost but at the end of the day, if you put in smallish print... (Texts cost 10 GBP) at the bottom of your sign/flyer, you will still get a lot of people texting the number for the FREE vouchers. It may be a good idea to have the cost per text lower than this however, in the UK the standard premium rate text message costs between £1 and £1.50.

Anyway, once they text the number, you have set up an auto reply which texts them the website to visit (As in the redirect of CPA offer for selected store). This is perfect because it is on their phone, they can refer to it when they get home and fill out the offer without having to hold on to flyer or remember the website.

Now, you have MINIMUM of £1/$1.50 per customer from the text message OR if you went direct for the website on the flyers, you've made like a $+ from the email/zip submit alone. If you've done both, your laughing.

BUT, if you are really clever, you'll make a squeeze page, which you will advertise on ALL flyers in EVERY car park. Or, every text you send out will contain this website address with the squeeze page. Then you get them to double opt-in. Then you have a list of hungry consumers that you can market offers to over and over again.

Now, some of you may be thinking about possible legal issues here. I myself am obviously not aware of the legalities of this in whatever city, state or country you live in personally. Remember, you can just as easily walk the streets and do this to parked cars all over your city, all day if you wanted to. All you’d have to do is change up the offer to something more evergreen like make money online/biz opps/weight loss etc. I for one am always coming across people who have placed flyers under my window wiper advertising local businesses and services, so see no reason why you couldn't do the same with your own online site.

While the method may need some refining and testing, I’m sure that this would return a nice investment on your time and effort if done properly. If you could turn it in to a profitable system, then you would just have to outsource the distribution of the flyers and scale the whole operation up.

If anyone has tried something similar to this in the past, I’d love to know what sort of results you got. I think this method is perfect for noobies to dip their toe in as well and would love to hear some feedback from someone who followed this advice and gave it a try.

EDIT: I just want to point out that the CPA offers in this are an example that everyone on this site should be able to relate to. Instead of getting hung up on why the CPA offers might not work, use the method to maybe spark some ideas about how it could be implemented in to getting subscribers to your list for some other type of product/offer/service.

    Always lots of ways to make money.

    I would not be excited about spamming people's vehicle just so they can
    opt in to get more spam in their inbox all in the name of making a buck or two.

    If a person just wanted a hustle then have a go at it but if you are willing to do this then there are ways to use that drive to make more money longterm and create VALUE for people over hustling them with BULLSHIT cpa offers.

    Can't you be fined when people just throw all the papers on the floor?

      I'm not sure to be honest. I see a lot of local businesses in my city who advertise this way in mass so I don't think they'd continue to do it if they were getting fined for the flyers being thrown away. Again, rules may be different from city to city.

      If you were serious about giving it a go, would maybe be an idea to get in tough with your local council to see what the rules are regarding that form of marketing.

        This method will not work.I have asked my cpa manager about promoting cpa offers offline by means of flyers, postcards, etc.. They said that is a big no no and a sure way to get your cpa account suspended indefinitely.

        Even if you take them to a squeeze page, and then through the follow up message to your cpa offer, is still a no no.

        They will see all of the ip's coming all from the same area and state. They do not allow this and they will consider this as spam. They will know that you are doing offline marketing from they track and investigate all of the ip's. Even though they are different, they are from the same area.

        I know is weird but that is what my cpa manager told me.

        Maybe this method can work to promote clickbank products but I would not recommend it for cpa offers.

        Is your account, so is very risky. Be careful!

          I know a lot of affiliate networks don't allow online advertising but I have worked with a couple in the past who do. If you have a good relationship with your affiliate manager, you can ask them to contact the merchant with your promotional materials for permission to run offline traffic.

          I have to point out that the CPA offers were merely an example, you could literally market any offer/product/service with this once people have joined your list.

    1.) I don't know of any CPA networks that would allow this. If you do, please list them here so we can verify. Would be interesting to test out.

    2.) This is not exactly legal, it is considered commercial solicitation, and you need a solicitation license to do this in parking lots even with the company's permission, or owner of the lot.

    3.) If you place the flier under the windshield wiper, you're actually trespassing personal property in many municipalities and will end up having trouble from people claiming you broke their wipers. It happens..

    4.) Even if you do have permission, and proper licensing, you're not off the hook, you could end up with a littering fine or illegal dumping.

    Best check with your local ordinances and stuff... maybe you could make money with it, but if you're not prepared it could end up costing you a lot of money.

    Nameless posted what I planned to. And Eddie pointed out this isn't really the most profitable to do this.

    I love people taking action and know we all should take more but I think anyone thinking of doing this needs to really think about the risk vs reward as you could lose a lot of money in fines. But there are ways to do this that would limit your risk if the offer was high enough. But flyers on cars just never seems like a good idea to me given the risks that Nameless pointed out.

    Good idea, however in the USA its a good way to get sued. If you literaly put WALMART on anything like that they will find out who you are and everything about you and sue you for damages. I registered a domain with walmart in it and was threatned the very next day and they demanded I remove the domain.

    Just saying be careful.

      I think people should focus on being a little more politically correct when advertising and asking someone to throw away a piece of paper for you is just rude.

      Now that doesn't mean you cant effectively hand out advertising material, but it has to be justified.

      For the same amount of time and investment you could print off 100 sheets of BOLD QUICK call to actions, laminate them, tape each one to a wire hanger bent in half and place them on public property all around town.

      In fact it would be cheaper. If you focused on mobile opt ins, then you hit traffic stops. People will check it out.

      and they wont be mad you forced them to notice you.

      Cheers Warriors!

      This is EXACTLY why my city made it a misdemeanor with a $500 fine for leaving flyers on parked cars, and I'm sure many other US cities are the same.
