OK, forget everything you know about affiliate marketing. The tactics of the past few years just don’t work anymore. 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.
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 pick your keywords carefully. 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.
Forget keywords
Keyword advertising used to work. But it’s just too competitive to use keywords now. It’s time for a paradigm shift.
A better way
All is not lost. Here’s a new method that works!
- Start using CPA marketing
- Do demographics research
- Do image ad marketing
Get into CPA marketing
CPA stands for Cost Per Action. It’s much better than promoting a product. Because you don’t have to get people to spend money. You earn a commission for having them perform an “action”. Such as filling in a form. And it’s much easier to get them to do that.
Do demographics research
You’re not even going to use keywords (explained below.) So spend your time doing demographics research. First you select your CPA offer. Then go to a site like Quantcast.com. And discover the exact demographics of your ideal prospect.
Use image ads
Now you have your offer and your demographics. You can advertise directly to them on display networks. Using image ads. And there was no keyword research required. And you’ll save a fortune. Keyword ads are expensive, but image ads are still cheap.
In closing
This is truly a quick cash concept. Because getting started in CPA is free. Image ads are cheap. You can laser target with demographics. And your commission is much easier to earn.
