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. If you play by the old rules, you will lose this game.
You’ve been duped
Unfortunately, you’ve been led to believe affiliate marketing is easy. Well, that’s true . . . to a point It is the easiest business you can possibly start. But starting your own business is really hard, so it’s all relative.
Here’s the ugly truth
And to make matters worse, you’ve taught to do it the hard way. You’ve been told to find quality 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!
Forget keywords
There was a time when this worked. But it’s just too competitive to use keywords now. It’s time for a paradigm shift.
A better way
There’s still hope. Follow this method and win again…
- Do CPA marketing instead of product promotion
- Instead of researching keywords, research demographics
- Use image ads
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 earn a commission for having them perform an “action”. Such as filling in a form. 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). Invest your research time into demographics. First, select the CPA offer you want to promote. Next, you go to Quantcast.com. And research what kinds of people will be interested.
Do image ad marketing
Now you have your offer and your demographics. You can advertise directly to them on display networks. Using image ads. No keywords required. And you’ll save a fortune. Display networks charge a fraction for image ad clicks vs. keyword ads.
Summary
This is powerful method to make money online. Because it’s free to get started in CPA. Image ads are cheap. Display networks let you do demographics targeting. And you get paid for having them take a simple action.
