Affiliate Marketing Revised
OK, forget everything you know about affiliate marketing. Everything you’ve been taught is simply out of date.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 probably heard how easy it is to start an affiliate business. And it is – sort of. It is the easiest business you can possibly start. But that doesn’t mean it’s easy.
The cold hard truth
To top it off you’ve been given false information. You’ve been told to find quality products. Next do some keyword research. Then buy some keyword ads that send traffic to the product. And just enjoy the commissions. But it doesn’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
There is a light at the end of the tunnel. Here’s how to win at this game.
- Get into CPA marketing
- Instead of researching keywords, research demographics
- Do image ad marketing
Get into CPA marketing
CPA stands for Cost Per Action. It’s so much easier than promoting products. Because you don’t have to get people to spend money. Your commission is generated when they complete an “action”. Entering their email into a form, for example. Which is much easier than getting them to buy something.
Instead of researching keywords, research demographics
Keywords are no longer relevant (you’ll see in a minute). Invest your research time into demographics. Once you’ve picked the CPA offer to promote. Then go to a site like Quantcast.com. And find your target demographic.
Market on display networks
So far, you’ve got your CPA offer and your target demographics. Display networks allow you to target demographics with your ads. Using image ads. And you don’t need to know or buy a single keyword. And you’ll save a fortune. Display networks charge a fraction for image ad clicks vs. keyword ads.
Summing it up
This is a great way to make money fast. 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.
