Newbie CPA Guide: Plan, Target, Consistency = MONEY


The basic problems of most of the newbies are:
They spend much time in reading & planning and get exhausted after a little execution.
The reason behind this dilemma is:
*Plans with big targets* (For e.g. its better to earn $10 a day in start rather to earn nothing and just dreaming and planning to earn $100 a day – I say so because $10 will ultimately be increased into $20 and $50 and so on… And Remember: SKY IS THE LIMIT!)
This plan will be as per the ease of average lazy marketers who wants to earn $60 in just 30 days.
Work Plan: 2 weeks
Plan Target: To achieve consistent $60 a day (After 30 Days)
Daily Work required: 3-4 Hours a day (Dedicated)
Marketing mode: BUM Marketing (with 0$ investment)
Offers Type: Email/Zip Submit
Quote:

How I Estimate earning a $60 a day based on offer analysis & my experience?
Analysis:
Let’s suppose we have an average CPA rate of $1.20 for each lead. Hence to earn $60 a day you need 50 leads a day.
Experience:
My experience says that every referral page that is based on the keyword having at least 15 searches a day and if it is on Google’s FIRST page… That referral page is most likely to give you ATLEAST 1 lead per day. (Sometimes it is even more than 5-10 leads a day so idea is to make a least estimation).
What to do?: To make 50 referral pages referring to a “Blogspot.com Blog”on 50 key phrases that have at least 15 daily searches with a competition of less than 50000 in inverted commas. We’ll take authority websites as referrals that have better chance to get on top of Google’s first page.
Here is what I recommend:
http://answers.yahoo.com/ (The best one if you have account of level ‘2’ … It will make your resource link clickable)
http://www.usfreeads.com/ (Google Likes its pages)
http://www.prlog.com/ (Free Press Release Directory)
http://www.ezinearticles.com/ (Best one if you are good at writing with speed)
http://www.squidoo.com/ (I don’t use it but still authoritative)
How to do?:
Step – 1: Choose at least 10 email/zip submit (free/giveaway) offers to promote having the EPC (earning per click) of at least $0.20. The more the EPC is, the better it is.
Step – 2: Search for right keyword based on the product offers you selected either through Market Samurai (personally I use it) or through FREE Google Adwords keyword tool. You can download the paid version of Market Samurai for free over here in this forum in the download section.
Choose top 5 keyword phrases for every offer that has a decent amount of daily searches but a lower level of competition. (Less than 50000 in inverted commas).
Now total you’ll be having: 50 Keywords Phrases.
For e.g. I have an offer of “Free $1000 Walmart Gift Card” to promote. I will search the combination of “Walmart” with Free, Card, Coupon etc. to get atleast 5 keyword phrases having less than 50000 competitions.
Step – 3: Register and make a BLOG on www.blogger.com on a name that is based on free offerings like:
www.ppc-advertising-whitehat.blogspot.com (just an example)
Make 10 different posts on 10 different labels (category) based on offer name. Just tell the visitor of simple steps to follow that can win them $1000 Wal-Mart gift card. Don’t forget to tell them to fulfill other free giveaway offers at the end of the every post. Embedding videos on the page can shoot the conversion rate very high.
Step – 4: Write 4 short offer reviews, articles or press-releases on 4 different keywords daily on any of the above mentioned authority referral sites you deem as suitable. Link those referral pages to your relevant Blog post and MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE INSERTED A GOOD CALL TO ACTION TO DIVERT EVERY VISITOR TO YOUR BLOG.
Step-5: Bookmark each referral page to at least 25 Do-Follow Social Bookmarking Sites. Use www.rssmix.com to accumulate your account feeds at one place and send them to top RSS Aggregators.
DAILY WORKPLAN
Day 1 Choose CPA Offers, Keyword Research… (Step 1 and 2)
Day 2 Blog Setup with 10 Posts (Step-3)
Day 3 Make 4 Referral Pages and bookmark them all
Day 4 Make 5 Referral Pages and bookmark them all
Day 5 Make 5 Referral Pages and bookmark them all
Day 6 Make 4 Referral Pages and bookmark them all
Day 7 Make 4 Referral Pages and bookmark them all
Day 8 Make 4 Referral Pages and bookmark them all
Day 9 Make 4 Referral Pages and bookmark them all

Day 11 Make 4 Referral Pages and bookmark them all
Day 12 Make 4 Referral Pages and bookmark them all
Day 13 Make 4 Referral Pages and bookmark them all
Day 14 Make 4 Referral Pages and bookmark them all
Day 15 Submit their RSS Feeds to Top Feed Aggregators (Step-5)
AND IN NEXT 15 DAYS YOU WILL BE IN A POSITION TO EARN $60 or EVEN MORE a DAY FOR AT LEAST THE NEXT 3-5 MONTHS CONSISTENTLY. BE CONSISTENT WITH THE METHOD EVERY MONTH TO INCREASE YOUR EARNING AS PER YOUR DESIRE OR NEED!

Affiliate Rockstar Alliance – Massive Traffic to Optimized Monetization Systems


Has anyone here heard of Affiliate Rockstar Alliance. According to them, it is 3 super affiliates that have come together as a partnership, each bringing his own expertise.
Greg Davis does massive traffic through media buying.
Jon Shugart provides the automation with his Keyword Rockstar, Rockstar Suite, etc. and
Luke Sample (Lambo Luke) is the mastermind behind Monetization Systems for multiple CPA offers per lead.
Ok, I have been familiar with Keyword Rockstar and Media Buying. It is the Monetization Systems that intrigues me. This is a huge concept. The Idea is to automated systems in place such that when a prospects enters their funnel they gather as much information from him as possible. Each question that the prospects answers could possibly make him a lead for a different CPA offer. If he comes in on an auto insurance lead, you ask him the normal questions on your qualification form, not the CPA offer form, then you branch off into related areas like:
Do you have a credit score?
Have you considered bankruptcy?
So rather than go after just a single auto insurance CPA offer that might be worth $14.00; now, you make him a prospect in a credit report lead, bankruptcy lead. Now that one prospect is worth over $100.00. In addition you implement email follow up and SMS follow up. The system also utilizes inbound call centers to provide one to one impact on the prospect. From what I understand when the call center people are good they can flow easily from one set of questions to another so as to get as many CPA offers filled as possible. It sounds absolutely incredible. This is what the gurus don’t tell us. You would be going around the cpa networks and submitting offers for these prospects directly to the companies that pay for the leads.
They are selling a training package and seminar for just under $1000.00 with coaching at $50,000 – nuts isn’t it? I would love to get this package.
Anyway, does anyone here have any knowledge about monetization systems like this? And the software necessary to accomplish this?
Once you get a monetization system like this in place, paid advertising actually sounds viable.
What these guys do is start by testing Landing Pages with CPV (PPV). Then, use that winning Landing Page, they test ads using Adwords. Then convert the winning ads to banners and start to scale using media buys. It sounds relatively simple. But putting it all together and automating it is another story. I wonder about privacy issues. And I wonder how legitimate it is to submit offers for prospects – or even if that is what they do?
A good discussion would be welcome on this system.

Awesome Craigslist CPA Tactic – $50 a Day


What you need:
1. An Aweber account.
2. An email address(es) that can be forwarded (preferably ones from your CPanel).
3. An account at a CPA site like Neverblue or Affiliateer.
4. A working Craigslist account.
The system:
What you are going to be doing is advertising CPA offers on Craigslist in the “free” section or other related sections. These have to be offers like: Free Ipod, Free Wii, Free telephone, Free flatscreen, etc. (you can find tons of these on your CPA site).
Here’s how to do it:
1. Set up an email address for EACH offer. Name the email address whatever the offer is. For example, if you are going to give away a free Ipod, call it freeipod@whatever*com
2. Set up a list in Aweber for each offer. You’ll need to write 1 follow up email, and this is where you will deliver your link to the CPA offer. The process will be totally automated. Now, on your confirm email, make sure you title it something like: “Confirm your request for a free Wii”, or whatever your product is that you are “giving away”.
3. Forward the email address to the Aweber list. It will look something like this: yourlistname@aweber*com.
4. Set up your Craigslist ad. Do NOT put any links in the ad. Put your email address instead. I usually really make it look realistic. I’ll say something like, “I have a Wii that I am giving away for free. It will probably go fast, so please respond to this email as soon as you can.”
Keep it short and sweet.
What happens is when they send an email to the address, it will forward to your Aweber account and automatically send out the confirmation email. When they click the confirm link, it will trigger your follow up email, and that one will contain your CPA link to get the “free wii”.
Now, you CAN just put your link in the confirmation email, but I like to send them a follow up to soften them up a little and explain a little how they can get the free wii. Also, you can use this email to promote other products or offers you may have as well.
You will have to set up a web page to send them to when they confirm. I think Aweber calls it the “success page”. This can just be a simple blank page with some black text telling them to go back and check their email right away foer their free wii information.
I have been getting about a 50% confirmation rate on some of the offers, and of those people that confirm, about 10% are actually filling out the offer.
So, the stats will look like this for you.
Let’s say 100 people respond (I’ve had ads where 170 or 180 people responded on the first day).
About 50 of them will confirm, and of that, you’ll get 5 or 6 to actually fill out the offer. Let’s say the lead pays $2. You just made $10 -$12 for doing basically nothing.
Now, if you put the ad in every day and in multiple categories, you’ll make more.
Let’s say you’ve got 5 offers going at $10 per day. That’s $350 per week. AND you are also building a list to market more COPA offers later.
I’ve just started doing this, and I only have 2 offers going.
I’ve been making about $15-$20 per day from it with just one ad for each.
Is this black hat? some would definitely say yes. I say it’s borderline.
I’m pretty sure that it’s safe with the CPA company, as long as they allow email marketing for the offer.
It’s not safe in the regard that most CPA offers have to be marketed to an existing list already that you have to run a suppression file against, and you aren’t doing that in this case.
