Affiliate Marketing Revised

You’re dead wrong if you think you know anything about being an affiliate. The tactics of the past few years just don’t work anymore. You need to adapt and change or perish.

The big lie

You’ve been told it’s easy to get started as an affiliate. This is partially true. There’s no doubt it’s easier than starting your own business. But starting your own business is really hard, so it’s all relative.

The cold hard truth

And to make matters worse, you’ve taught to do it the hard way. The first thing you’re taught is to pick some great products. Next to look for easy keywords to target. Then buy some keyword ads that send traffic to the product. And sit back and collect the profits. But this just won’t work!

Don’t bother with keywords

This method worked a couple years ago. But it’s just too competitive to use keywords now. Adapt and change…

A brand new formula

There’s still hope. Here’s a new method that works!

• Start using CPA marketing
• Utilize demographics data
• Do image ad marketing

Do CPA marketing instead of product promotion

CPA means Cost Per Action. It’s much better than promoting a product. Because it doesn’t involve payment. You get paid when they take an “action”. Such as filling in a form. Which is much easier than getting them to buy something.

Utilize demographics data

Don’t waste time researching keywords (see below). Invest your research time into demographics. Once you’ve picked the CPA offer to promote. Then hop over to Quantcast.com. And research what kinds of people will be interested.

Market on display networks

Now you have your offer and your demographics. You can advertise directly to them on display networks. And let images do the work. And there was no keyword research required. And you’ll save a fortune. Display networks charge a fraction for image ad clicks vs. keyword ads.

Summary

This is a great way to make money fast. Because you can start CPA marketing for free. Image ads are cheap. You can use demographics to target your ideal prospect. And your commission is much easier to earn.
