Affiliate Marketing Revised

You’re dead wrong if you think you know anything about being an affiliate. Everything you’ve been taught is simply out of date. And if you don’t change your tactics, you cannot survive.

The big lie

You’ve been told it’s easy to get started as an affiliate. And it is – sort of. It is the easiest business you can possibly start. But “easier” doesn’t mean “easy”.

Here’s the ugly truth

And to make matters worse, you’ve taught to do it the hard way. You’re told to pick one of more products to promote. Next to pick your keywords carefully. Then to use keyword-based advertising to send visitors to the product. And finally get a fat check for all the sales. But this just won’t work!

Don’t bother with keywords

There was a time when this worked. But the competition has shot the price of keywords through the roof. So, throw it all away.

A brand new formula

All is not lost. Here’s a new method that works!

  • Start using CPA marketing
  • Utilize demographics data
  • Use image ads

Start using CPA marketing

CPA stands for Cost Per Action. It’s far superior to product promotion. Because your visitor doesn’t have to buy anything. You earn a commission for having them perform an “action”. Such as filling in a form. And it’s much easier to get them to do that.

Instead of researching keywords, research demographics

You’re not even going to use keywords (explained below.) So spend your time doing demographics research. First you select your CPA offer. Next, you go to Quantcast.com. And find your target demographic.

Do image ad marketing

Now you have your offer and your demographics. You can target these exact demographics on display networks. Using image ads. No keywords required. Plus you’re going to save a ton of money. Image ad clicks are much cheaper.

Summary

This is truly a quick cash concept. Because it’s free to get started in CPA. It’s much cheaper to do image ads than keyword ads. You can use demographics to target your ideal prospect. And your commission is much easier to earn.
