Cost Per Action Marketing For Affiliates – CPA Explained

admin — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 00:06:09 +0000

Cost Per Action Marketing For Affiliates

CPA networks, or affiliate marketing operations based on a Cost-Per-Action model, have been around for years, even though they’re seldom discussed in the Internet Marketing arena, and just slightly more often in the affiliate marketing realm. Cost per action, also sometimes called cost per acquisition, is like most other affiliate marketing programs in that you make money from actions taken by targeted traffic your refer to the merchant’s site – but that’s where the similarity usually ends.

In regular affiliate programs, the money you earn is a percentage of each sale you make. With CPA offers, usually you’re earning your affiliate commissions based not on sales but on other actions the merchant wants to effect. It can be downloading a free report, asking for a free sample, having free information mailed out to you, getting access to a private members’ area of a website, etc.

As you can see from the above examples, cost-per-action or cost-per-acquisition is usually modeled so that you’re getting paid for free actions taken by the traffic you refer. So if you’re firmly planted in the affiliate marketing mindset, alarm bells are probably going off in your head right now… After all, what kind of shady operation is promising to pay you commissions when you haven’t made any sales? As if they had the money to just give away like that… Yeah, right!

If that’s what you’re thinking, here’s a real surprise for you: almost without exception, these cost per action arrangements are set up by, or on behalf of, some of the biggest offline companies in the world, including insurance companies, travel companies, offshoots of international banking consortiums, etc. These very large, very dependable corporations use cost per acquisition models to get leads from targeted prospects, leads they obviously hope to convert to ongoing clients. Their lead acquisition programs are tested, tweaked, and tested again, and are some of the most closely monitored results of any online activities anywhere.

It’s very important to remember that marketing is much more mature and professional in the offline world than in most of the online world. Look at the highly-varied background of today’s Internet marketers and affiliate marketers – surprisingly few have a solid marketing background or any formal marketing education at the post-secondary level. While many are earning 6, 7 or 8 figures a year online, most couldn’t even secure a junior-level position in corporate marketing departments – especially not on an international scale.

As a result, online marketers look at what they make on each sale and offer a piece of that to their affiliates. Affiliate marketers look at the product, the conversion rate of the salespage, and the percentage offered as affiliate commissions. Everything is based on the current sale in most cases. The closest most come to a CPA model is offering 100% commissions, meaning that really they’re giving away the sale to get the lead. But again, even 100% commissions are based solely on the current sale.

High-level offline marketing, however, is based on the lifetime value of each customer and factors in the ratio of leads to sales, the average retention rate and longevity of client contracts, and the total dollars earned from the ‘average’ customer or client. While this involves a lot of research and number-crunching Internet marketers are loath to even attempt, it allows lead acquisition programs to blow online marketers out of the water in terms of payouts.

Newer affiliates try to sign up in droves, often spurred on by e-books about CPA programs that tout the high earning possible from a pay-per-lead program. They don’t realize that corporations are very protective both of their brand’s image and of the quality of leads they receive – remember that the conversion ratio is one of the main factors in determining what they pay per lead. This results in as many as 90% of all applications to CPA networks being rejected, dashing the affiliate’s hopes for big CPA earnings.

In truth, without an existing track record in CPA, or very professionally-designed websites heavy in marketing psychology, most marketers will never get into the CPA networks and have a chance at earning money with cost per action opportunities. New CPA networks are coming online though that raise the bar for average marketers, providing both cost per acquisition offers and pre-designed websites shown to drive the right quality of traffic to the merchants’ sites and opt-in forms. These should finally open the cost per action field up to a great many more online marketers, finally making it a viable way for affiliate marketing businesses to make money online using the CPA model. You’ll find the first next-generation CPA network here.

The Most Important Skill For Successful Affiliate Marketing

admin — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 22:30:05 +0000

The Most Important Skill For Successful Affiliate Marketing

It’s well-known that there’s a need for affiliates to build their opt-in lists, and that failing to do so is the main mistake made by affiliates. But to be successful as an affiliate, both for making money online and for building your opt-in list, one very important skill must be mastered – the most important skill for successful affiliate marketing.

In fact, this one skill is the main ingredient in the success of all online businesses, and the most important tool in your affiliate marketing skills toolbox: the ability to drive massive amounts of targeted traffic to your links! Whether you’re sending that targeted traffic to a free report on a butterfly-marketing type of site, a free download to entice them to join your list, to your blog in whatever niches you operate in or directly to your affiliate links, the number of targeted visitors you can mobilize quickly is going to be directly reflected in your affiliate commissions.

The good news is that many of the most powerful tools and techniques used by traffic masters are free, or require a very low investment – one that can often be made back on the first couple of affiliate promotions you do after including the new tool into your marketing mix, leaving you with pro tools with no net cost in short order.

The bad news (for some) is that it takes work – true effort – both to learn these various promotional techniques and to apply the tactics to any given affiliate opportunity. If you thought affiliate marketing was a way to make a lot of money online with little or no effort, you’re sadly mistaken and have probably been reading the salespages of online scammers, not professional super-affiliates. None of us got to where we are today without a lot of effort, even those who are able to outsource a fair bit of what they do – just learning what’s needed and how it must be done is necessary before you know what to outsource!

Now this doesn’t mean you’ll have to use every one of the traffic generation strategies in every affiliate marketing promotion you get involved in – far from it. Some techniques are short-term, bringing in targeted traffic almost immediately but then tapering off or stopping altogether, while others take time to build momentum, but can keep supplying visitors for weeks, months or even years. Tweets on Twitter are a good example of the former, while article marketing and video marketing are better examples of the latter.

So it stands to reason that if you’re promoting a 3-day sale, or even a week-long event, you’ll want to rely on your short-term, immediate-response tools. If you’re promoting a product or service that will be ongoing, especially one that pays residual commissions, you’ll want to use them all. Start with the techniques that bring instant traffic, then shift your focus to the mid- and long-term sources to ensure you continue to make money from your efforts for that opportunity. The higher your recurring commissions the less time you need to focus on making quick bucks, and the greater amount of your affiliate marketing activities that can be focused around list-building, pre-selling and getting involved in pre-launch joint-venture opportunities.

Start right now, today, and set the goal for yourself of learning as many different ways to drive targeted traffic as you can using both free and paid traffic sources. As your knowledge grows so should your ability to mobilize targeted visitors almost on demand, and that’s one of the biggest keys to achieving the super-affiliate status and big affiliate paydays you’re dreaming about now!

Are You A Big Dog – Or Just Their Chew Toy?

admin — Sun, 14 Jun 2009 17:11:52 +0000

Are You A Big Dog – Or Just Their Chew Toy?

Internet marketing experts, often referred to as gurus or Big Dogs, are making a fortune online 24 hours a day 365 days a year. Thousands of Internet marketing newbies and those of the mid-levels aspire to be Internet Marketing Big Dogs, but most will never reach that level. I’m sorry to have to say that, but it’s true…

The hardest part to accept, though, is that most of the big dogs started out at the bottom of the Internet marketing heap and rose to the top – some in a matter of months, but most through a few years of intensive activity, labour and investment. Not always upfront investment, but actually re-investing a good chunk of their online profits to fuel more rapid growth.

So if, as Internet marketing Big Dogs, we’re no different than you, what makes the few rise to superstardom online and the bulk continue to be chew toys? There are a myriad of potential reasons, but here are a few of the biggest and most common reasons people fail to do well with Internet marketing…

Being indecisive & failing to ACT NOW – Inside every big dog is a hunting dog, always sniffing the air looking for that first-mover advantage. When any opportunity presents itself, they instantly analyze it – Does it look promising? Will the product or service help my people? Is it a needed or highly desirable item? Can I make money with this? (And yes, that’s the order of importance, too.) If it meets all their criteria, they instantly formulate their marketing strategy, decide which techniques to use to promote it, then choose their tactics and attack!
Not treating their Internet marketing as a professional business – Often people tell me they’ve been trying for years to make it in Internet marketing, buying every shiny new toy that comes along, but never achieving the success these products promise. But when I ask them how much time they spend on it, they tell me a lot – an hour or two almost every day… The reality is, marketers who are truly motivated will spend 4-6 hours a day at it AS WELL AS their doing their current full-time job – and 8-10 hours on the weekends!I know, I can already hear you say ‘but I have other stuff to do, family to spend time with, friends to bowl with or shoot pool with, girls/guys to date, movies to see, etc., etc.’ And that’s fine – only YOU can decide what your priorities are. I’m not discussing what’s right for you – this is about what it takes to build an Internet marketing business and craft your own dream lifestyle with the proceeds. Do I know Big Dogs that only work 3 or 4 hours a day? Sure – but not one who got to the upper echelons that way!
Not being discerning in whose advice they follow - Unless you want your Internet marketing success to take a lot more time, effort and money than it needs to, you have to find, follow and heed the advice from the proper mentor or mentors. Too many newbies, and even some pros, give credibility and Big Dog status to someone just because they’ve had a successful mega-launch or two. They don’t realize that some of today’s ‘Experts’ had the product ghostwritten by someone else and then hired a joint venture broker to get the big dogs to promote the product. I can think of at least two leading ‘affiliate marketing experts’ who got there that way, and I wouldn’t pay a cent for any of their training.Look for those people who have been at the top for a while with a variety of products, great value in their e-zines and on their blogs, and others testifying to how much that person has helped them.
Their are a lot of us who meet those requirements, people like Marlon Sanders, Stephen Pierce, Ken McArthur, Jimmy D. Brown, Jim Daniels and Rosalind Gardner. All of us have been online for 10 or more years, and have been helping others as best we can for most of that time.Trying to follow the advice of too many coaches or mentors is just as deadly as picking the wrong ones. Each of us has their own style, and the track record to prove it works. But each does things differently, and trying to mix more than two or three of these styles will leave you spinning your wheels again. Sure – still read the info in their e-zines and on their blogs – learning has to be constantly ongoing in this biz. But focus your efforts mostly along the paths of the two or three mentors whose style fit you best.
Not focusing on what makes you successful - One thing about Big Dogs – they always keep their eye on the prize. It’s too easy to get all wrapped up in the latest gizmo, site or trend and neglect important ongoing duties. As a general guideline, make sure your time breaks down pretty close to 40% on building your opt-in lists (your long term weapons); 40% on promotional efforts like branding yourself and driving traffic to your squeeze pages, sites, salespages and affiliate links (your short, medium and long term weapons) and 20% for everything else. VERY few people in Internet marketing can claim to stick to those percentages regularly, but I’ve never met one who did and wasn’t constantly building their business and their income.
Not having set goals, or not keeping them in mind at all times - ‘I want to be rich’ is not a goal – it’s a wish. ‘I want to help others’ is not a goal – it’s a mission. ‘I want to retire early with tons of cash’ is not a goal – it’s a dream. To get your wishes, achieve your missions and live your dreams you need to plan out how to get there, and then map out the steps it will take to put you in that position. Those steps are your goals. If your dream is to help people, figure out where you need to be financially, emotionally and intellectually to be truly effective helping others – and decide how many you want to help. What steps will it take to get there?
Do a ‘fuzzy’ 10-year plan to achieve it. Then refine that to a sharper image of where you have to be in 5 years to be on track. So where do you need to be 2 years from now? Set your first round of goals to achieving the results you need a year from now to be right on track for your 2 year, 5 year and 10-year plans. Your one-year program should be positive, distinct steps with concrete goals – exact dollar figures, precise lists of accomplishments, etc. Take those 1-year goals and focus on them til each is completed, then re-examine your plan, make any changes you want to to the long-term targets, and map out year 2. This system has worked for a lot of people in every facet of life, not just for Internet marketing.

As I said at the outset, there can be a myriad of other issues in your own particular case, but these are the most common. If you’re being honest with yourself, you can probably identify right off which of these five examples is true in your own case. So now the question becomes will you do what it takes to get back on track? Put in the focused energy to achieve Internet marketing stardom – or at least enough to fulfill your own personal wishes, missions and dreams? When someone asks you a year or two from now, how will you answer that big question:

Are you a Big Dog – or just their chew toy?

Internet Marketing Resource Sites Taken To A New Level With New Launch

admin — Sat, 13 Jun 2009 18:24:02 +0000

Internet marketing resource sites – those membership sites where Internet marketers and affiliate marketers scroll through page after page of products with Master Resell Rights and sometimes products with Private Label Rights – are a mainstay of successful Internet marketing. Resources like these are the best way for new and mid-level online marketers to get their work-at-home businesses into the profit zone and then eventually up to 6 figures a year.

But they all have the same drawback – the time it takes scrolling though the listings, trying to find suitable products for the current project and then downloading a bunch to open the zips and find out what you can and can’t do with them. This process takes hours, and often entails a visit to to or three of the membership sites you belong to to find the right items, right?

Well, all that has now changed with the launch this week of Resell-Rights-Fortunes.com, the new MRR and PLR membership site from Socrates Socratous. If you’re a regular reader of the BlogZine you’ll remember last week’s post about his free list-building video. The release of that video was part of the pre-launch process for the new membership site too.

After spending 14 months and over $35,000 developing the site, Socrates launched Resell-Rights-Fortunes.com this week as the biggest – in fact, only – fully searchable database of MRR and PLR products! That’s right – no more scrolling through pages and pages to find the products you want!

Here’s a perfect scenario to demonstrate why Resell-Rights-Fortunes.com takes Internet marketing membership sites to a new level: You’ve just completed a new report or e-book on using Twitter for Marketing and you’re preparing to sell it using PayPal or through services like ClickBank or PayDotCom…

So your first stop, obviously, is Resell-Rights-Fortunes.com. First, you search the database for PLR reports about Twitter that come with giveaway rights and a squeeze page. You pick the two best and download them. Next, you search for resources about Twitter or other Social Networking sites that can be used as bonuses with a paid products, and download the 3 best you find. Notice I said resources, not e-books. Resell Rights Fortunes has audios and videos in their offerings too.

Finally you do a search for all Web 2.0 marketing resources that can be bundled, and take the best 5 to 10 of them. Just that quick, you’re done getting the related products you need. Now it’s time to process them into the resources that make you the most money from your new product’s launch.

First step is to take one of the two PLR giveaway reports and edit it to your liking, convert it to your own product with your branding and links, then edit the squeeze page to match. (If you don’t know how, see the converting PLR e-books into unique products how-to training videos) Take the 2nd PLR report and break it down into 7-10 articles, add your signature and links to them to turn them into an autoresponder series, then set up another pro autoresponder for it and upload the articles to make them a 7-10 day e-course. Obviously, the links in the report and in the e-course point to your new product.

Next, you take the 3 social networking resources and add them as bonuses to your salespage for your new product, then add the links to your download page in the ‘Download Your Bonuses’ section. Finally, create a One-Time-Offer from the remaining products and plug it into the system either on the download page or between your payment processor and the download page.

I see the light bulb coming on over your head – easy to see how powerful this new membership site is, isn’t it? Being able to search for MRR products and PLR products by keyword, rights and type of resource makes all of this feasible without days of hassle finding products, downloading them, checking the rights, going back for more, etc. Now you can fully monteize your product launches in a few hours thanks to Resell-Rights-Fortunes.com!

Stop losing time and leaving money on the table – start making more money for you AND your affiliates and joint venture partners by joining Resell-Rights-Fortunes.com right now!

Double-Barrelled Attack To Crush Your Twitter Marketing Competition

admin — Sat, 30 May 2009 16:52:21 +0000

There’s no doubt about it now – Twitter is a powerful weapon in any online marketer’s arsenal – once they’ve learned the tricks and tips to use Twitter marketing properly without spending too much time on the site. And now two resources have launched that, when put together, provide all the training, step-by-step instruction and tools you need to really crank up your Twitter marketing to pro levels fast!

First up is The Advanced Twitter Marketing System – the hottest Twitter marketing product released to date. Smashing through the myths, limitations and outright nonsense in other Twitter guides, Doug Champigny has put together a system of using free tools to build TARGETED followers fast, and then shown how to minimize the time needed to market to them while maximizing your optins & sales resulting from your Twitter marketing activities. Beta tests by newbies and pros alike has shown repeatedly that the system gets users hundreds of targeted followers within the first week, with most seeing optins and resultant sales within the first 7-10 days – all in an hour a day max!

Testimonials for the product abound, on the Advanced Twitter Marketing System salespage itself, on various blogs, on YouTube videos, etc. Currently it’s the highest-priced Twitter guide online, but Champigny makes no apologies, pointing to the results people have acheived with it and the 60-day money-back guarantee to protect any skeptics.

The second resource is from Mike Paetzold, and it’s the perfect compliment to go with the Advanced Twitter Marketing System. Paetzold’s new Twitter Time Saver is far more than the name implies, though it does save time by automating the procedures it recommends. In actual fact, Twitter Time Saver ties together content and tweets to provide niche marketers an automated way to become an authority in any niche amongst followers on Twitter.

Of and by itself that’s powerful, but lacks the direct-marketing prowress of the Advanced Twitter Marketing System. But putting the two together lets an online marketer dominate any area of expetise and make money marketing on Twitter practically right from the get-go! While each is justifiably proud of their new product, both Champigny & Paetzold agree the symbiosis of the two is more powerful than either on it’s own – and as a result, each is full of praise for the other’s product.

There’s simply no other way to put it – to max out your list-building and earning potential from marketing on Twitter, you need both: the targeted following built using the Advanced Twitter Marketing System and the niche authority-building of Twitter Time Saver – anything less, and you’re not making what you could through your Twitter marketing.

And we both know it’s a rookie’s mistake to leave money on the table when it could be in our pockets just as easily…

Internet Marketing Basics – An Introduction To Internet Marketing

admin — Mon, 04 May 2009 09:24:22 +0000

Internet marketing, as an industry, is rapidly becoming a major part of many household’s income. While a number of Internet marketing professionals are earning 6, 7 and 8-figure incomes online, society as a whole may well be impacted to a far greater extent by thousands of people using Internet marketing to keep their families out of harm’s way as the economies of the developed countries continue to deteriorate over the next few years.

Most of the press surrounding this new industry focuses on a few success stories of well-heeled ‘Gurus’ or the inevitable cheats who foster SPAM by the boatload, but the truth, and the importance, of Internet marketing is that it can allow everyday people, grasping at straws to try and maintain their lifestyle, to protect their assets and maintain their standard of living during the current downturn.

Far from the perceived ‘Get Rich Quick’ panacea that some purport Internet marketing to be, the truth is that it’s a business, like any other in that it either takes money or time investments to launch, must be nurtured heavily like any newborn, and that there really are NO guarantees as to how any one individual will do, nor even how any one venture will do, even for the most experienced Internet marketers.

There are a few major differences from traditional ‘brick & mortar’ businesses, however. First, and perhaps most importantly, it IS possible to launch a successful Internet marketing business with no major financial investment, provided you already have a computer and an Internet connection. The launch process can be strengthened and the income horizon shortened with deeper pockets, to be sure, but they aren’t the prerequisite in Internet marketing that they are in the offline world. This becomes a major factor for those trying to dig their way out of financial distress, avoid further declines in family finances or achieve a better-funded lifestyle for their families.

The second major difference is the amount of valuable information on starting and running an Internet business that is available for free online. A search at Google for ‘making money online’, ‘Internet marketing’ or ‘Affiliate marketing’ will return about an equal amount of resources that are for sale and that are available for free. Almost every Internet marketer, operating in any niche you can name, offers a free newsletter or ‘e-zine’ that dispenses a great deal of free information as well. Try to imagine an automobile manufacturer or pharmaceutical company sending you regular information on how to compete with them, how to recreate their products, etc.!

Article Marketing For Making Money Online

admin — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 00:11:32 +0000

If you are not already using article marketing for your business, you are missing out on sales and signups that could be garnered from this time tested method of marketing a business online. Anyone who isn’t already marketing their business with articles should get started on it right away.

Remember, your article marketing efforts of today will continue to pay off for years to come. You can’t say that about any other type of marketing that exists. For the future of your business, this is an area of marketing that you need to learn – and you need to learn every aspect of it as soon as possible.

You may shy away from article marketing because you can’t write well, or because you don’t think that article marketing is right for your niche. These are valid reasons – but they are wrong. Even if you can’t write well, you can pay someone who does. Having articles written is surprisingly cheap. In fact, you can have one article written each and every week for less than ten dollars.

You can also take one of the many free writing courses online to learn how to write articles. Once you get the hang of writing articles, you will find that you can write a short article in less than half an hour. If you are slow at typing, or your article will require more research, you can knock one out in about an hour.

As for article marketing not being right for your niche – wrong again. Article marketing works for all niches. Have you been to a search engine lately? No matter what you think of to type in, you will find web pages on that topic. Where there are webpages, there are readers, and where there are readers, there is a need for articles.

Go ahead – try it. Visit your favorite search engine and try to think up something off the wall and type it in. Bet you find webpages that have content – articles – on them! Web content comes from articles – whether they are articles that were written specifically for that website, or articles that were found in the article banks.

You have everything to gain from article marketing, and nothing to lose – as long as you are doing your article marketing in the right way. Even if you did it in the wrong way, the most you stand to lose is your time. Frankly, article marketing is something that is hard to fail at.

The process is incredibly simple: write an informative article, include a resource box that has a call to action, distribute the article, and reap the benefits for years to come. That’s all there is to it – and this is a marketing method that is available to everyone – even if they are new to Internet Business. You don’t have to be a guru to write articles. You become a guru by writing articles.

You don’t even have to own a business to start writing articles and profiting from them. Affiliate marketing, where you promote other peoples products and services for a percentage of each sale, can easily be done through article marketing – and this is where many gurus got their start.

If you aren’t article marketing, you are leaving money on the table. It is as simple as that – and you can start article marketing today. Right now. If you can write, write. If you can’t, hire a ghostwriter, pay eight to ten bucks for the article, and start distributing it. All of that can be done now – TODAY.

Don’t let another day go by that you are not benefiting from the uncontested and unrivaled effectiveness of article marketing! The future of your business, as well as your own financial future, could depend on it.
