Affiliate Marketing Revised
OK, forget everything you know about affiliate marketing. Everything you’ve been taught is simply out of date. If you play by the old rules, you will lose this game.
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 bad news…
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 pick your keywords carefully. Then to use these keywords to buy ads promoting the product. And just enjoy the commissions. But, it’s all wrong.
Forget keywords
Keyword advertising used to work. But keywords are too expensive now. Adapt and change…
A better way
There is a solution to this problem. Follow this method and win again…
- Do CPA marketing instead of product promotion
- Do demographics research
- Market on display networks
Start using CPA marketing
CPA means Cost Per Action. It’s far superior to product promotion. Because you don’t have to get people to spend money. You get paid when they take an “action”. Entering their email into a form, for example. And it’s much easier to get them to do that.
Utilize demographics data
You’re not even going to use keywords (explained below.) Invest your research time into demographics. Once you’ve picked the CPA offer to promote. Then hop over to Quantcast.com. And discover the exact demographics of your ideal prospect.
Market on display networks
Now you have your offer and your demographics. You can target these exact demographics on display networks. Using image ads. And there was no keyword research required. The biggest advantage is price. Image ad clicks are much cheaper.
In closing
This is a great way to make money fast. Because getting started in CPA is free. Image ads are cheap. Display networks let you do demographics targeting. And getting them to take an action is much easier than making a sale.
