Affiliate Marketing Revised

2010 August 21

You’re dead wrong if you think you know anything about being an affiliate. The simple truth is that the old rules no longer apply. You need to adapt and change or perish.

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 “easier” doesn’t mean “easy”.

The bad news…

The worst part is that the information you’ve received is all wrong. The first thing you’re taught is to pick some great products. Next to look for easy keywords to target. Then to use these keywords to buy ads promoting the product. And finally get a fat check for all the sales. But it doesn’t work.

Forget keywords

This method worked a couple years ago. But the competition has shot the price of keywords through the roof. So, throw it all away.

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

Start using CPA marketing

CPA stands for Cost Per Action. It’s much better than promoting a product. Because it doesn’t involve payment. You earn a commission for having them perform an “action”. Like completing a survey. And it’s much easier to get them to do that.

Instead of researching keywords, research demographics

Don’t waste time researching keywords (see below). So spend your time doing demographics research. Once you’ve picked the CPA offer to promote. Then hop over to Quantcast.com. And discover the exact demographics of your ideal prospect.

Use image ads

So you know what your promoting and you know who will be interested. Display networks allow you to target demographics with your ads. And let images do the work. And you don’t need to know or buy a single keyword. And you’ll save a fortune. Image ad clicks are much cheaper.

In closing

This is powerful method to make money online. Because you can start CPA marketing for free. Image ads are cheap. You can laser target with demographics. And your commission is much easier to earn.
