    This is a method that I believe is still working but I haven't tried yet. That said it is on my to do list!!!

    I have no affiliation with anything or anybody mentioned in this thread but thought some of you may find it of use.

    This is apparently a very simple and workable method that easily earns $100 to $1000 per day without too much effort. Apart from earning money, you will also end up getting a free website with running traffic by this method.

    This post contains many small tricks that can be beneficial in your marketing along with the main technique which is used here.

    • First thing that you will need is a good affiliate account in a popular niche. Dating is a niche that is known to work well with this method. You can easily get an affiliate account approved at affiliates.cupid.com if you don't have one already. Create an account, browse for an offer that is of your interest and note down the link of a good landing page.
    • Next thing that we need is a free website. The reason why we need it free is because it opens up an opportunity of scaling up this method that we will talk at the end of this post. Some of you might be already knowing it but I am sure this information will be useful for quite a few people reading this post. You can register a domain completely free of cost on dot.tk . Dot TK is a free website extension that is functional since 2001. Anybody can register a free .tk domain on that website.
    • After you have that domain, you can set up a 301 or 302 redirect towards the link that you got from your affiliates website. So by the end of step three, you have a free website that directly takes users to your affiliate page. You do not need to use any url shortening for it because it is already a top level domain. And it opens in a nice looking signup page that you yourself picked.
    • The next thing is to drive traffic towards that page. We wont be using any search engine methods for doing it. Our traffic will be completely driven from Twitter and Craigslist.
    • You will need to create a few twitter accounts to use with this method. And you will be posting regular updates using an auto scheduler. I looked around for different services on internet for auto-scheduling tweets. Out of the ones that I tested, Socialoomph appears to be the most effective solution for free users. You can create your account on socialoomph.com free of cost and add all your twitter accounts into it. You will need to schedule regular updates with your domain link in it.
    • A very important point here is to use tags in your tweets. Hash tag is the most acceptable way on twitter to get your tweets a lot of visibility. When you post a tweet with a hashtag, it not only appears in your timeline but also the page of that hash tag. These pages usually get very good amount of traffic and you can easily get hundreds, even thousands views on your tweet with even a new account.
    • Since many of the affiliate offers are targeted towards particular countries, twitter traffic may not be very beneficial for that. In such cases, you can make use of craigslist or other classified sites to post your ads and drive traffic towards your page.
    • Search on fiverr and alternatives for a way of posting successfully to craigslist
    • You can simply post your ads in different cities of craigslist using an auto poster or manually. Here also, ensure that you stuff keywords and tags at the end of the description in your ads. Descriptions are very important when you post ads on CL.
    • The next step is to scale up this method. This method is scalable because we haven't used any paid marketing method here. You can create as many affiliate offers and websites as you like. You can also market it easily using multiple accounts on twitter or on multiple cities in craigslist.

    Excellent! If you get round to trialling it and post your results back that would help to motivate others and also help us to decide whether or not to try it (time depending of course!)

    the time you spent writing such a lovely detailed post, could have been spent signing up as an affiliate or creating a .tk domain.
    perhaps change the order of your to-do-list, as (just IMO) doing what is in this thread should have been a higher priority over creating this thread.

    Getting real stable twitter traffic is not easy, I know from experience. I even have an account with 70k targeted followers. Yes there is traffic, but it goes up and down.
