Affiliate Marketing Revised
Everything you think you know about building an affiliate business is wrong. Everything you’ve been taught is simply out of date.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. 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
To top it off you’ve been given false information. You’re told to pick one of more products to promote. Next do some keyword research. Then to use these keywords to buy ads promoting the product. And finally get a fat check for all the sales. But, it’s all wrong.
Keywords are dead
This method worked a couple years ago. But it’s just too competitive to use keywords now. So, throw it all away.
A better way
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 so much easier than promoting products. Because it doesn’t involve payment. You earn a commission for having them perform an “action”. Like completing a survey. 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). So spend your time doing demographics research. First you select your CPA offer. Then hop over to Quantcast.com. And discover the exact demographics of your ideal prospect.
Do image ad marketing
Now you have your offer and your demographics. You can target these exact demographics on display networks. And use images as your ads. And you don’t need to know or buy a single keyword. Plus you’re going to save a ton of money. Display networks charge a fraction for image ad clicks vs. keyword ads.
In closing
This is powerful method to make money online. Because it’s free to get started in CPA. You can buy image ad clicks for a fraction of keyword ad clicks. You can use demographics to target your ideal prospect. And your commission is much easier to earn.
