Yeah, you need to be creative with traffic and pages. Good affiliate marketers don't really share good secrets. Search for shoemoney, he shared how he was making a ton from ringtones once and everybody started to do the same and hiked up the competition. JonathanVolk here is pretty good since he won azoogle challenge too. Its just you don't see them sharing too much anymore. What it is about is building blogs, landing pages and regular sites mostly and knowing how to get traffic. You can start with PPC. If you find a hot product with little competition, you can make a bank just from PPC. Adwords is kind of a pain lately with their user experience and landing pages may not work for them, but try myspace, facebook. Yahoo is cheap, but not really targeted. Anyway, your affiliate manager may be able to send you a few articles, links to some sites with good info, etc. Reading wickedfire helps too.
Thanks Johnnyfive, I have just started blogging and one of the things I have encountered this early is, like all of us here want to see, earn some good cash. I am overwhelmed by the many things a lot of people say about having made a lot of dough. Being new to this idea, seems far fetch for us at the moment, maybe it will clear up the moment we hit something. By the way, I am a freelance website developer and designer. I earning my keep pretty good, but what the original poster is looking I think is a little closer to blogging and affiliate marketing, if I am not mistaken. And this one is a totally new to me.
Look at this like it's a marathon not a sprint. You will have awesome days and some days will just plain suck. It really helps that you are a web designer CATROS. The technical part is what new affiliates get hung up on very often and you have that part licked... I'm a .net developer and that really helped me. Best, Corey
Adsense PPC = targeted traffic Still wondering how you can make money with out it or having a blog with a large subscriber base. I dont believe it works...
Running Azoogle affiliate links through the usual social networking sites, getting hundreds of clicks and not a single conversion. How is it possible that not one of those people would throw an email address in the submit box? Not a single one? This program leaves many people wondering what is happening behind the curtain.
Ask your friend to submit his e-mail in one of this program, of course he should be from US like it needed for example. And track this lead, if it counts then it works, if no - dump this offer.
Even I m facing same problem..I sent quality traffic to Azoogle...and there are over 100 clicks but no conversion..I do not know what to do?? and why it is so?? Also people are making $$$$$ with CPA..I m not getting what blackmagic they are doing??
digitalstyle_surat, have you tried my method above ? Do just 1 submit from some 1 US friend. Ask him to submit and do rest steps if needed. Usually not. Then if it will not count you can blame Azoogle.
May be your traffic was not as quality as you think. May be the offer was not converting well. There may be a ton of reasons. The best way is trial and error. Try different offers, different methods. I started with affiliate networks without any intent of making money. Wasn't too long ago, I had a movie review blog and made a new page reviewing online movie rental places. I though that I would drive more visitors to the site and offset some ppc costs. So, I place netflix and blockbuster banners and gave a short review of each service. To my surprise, I was getting about 50% return on my adwords expenses + traffic to the blog. Thats how I started. However, there are ton of ways to do it - make landing pages, iframes on your own domains (adwords and other cpc don't allow them, but give social media a try), blogs, review sites, etc. The main thing is to find a good offer that has a high conversion rate. If you are with azoogle, ask your affiliate manager to pick the best converting offer for you and pretend that it is the only thing you got. Put as much effort into it as possible, think outside the box. Read the blogs of fellow affiliates, they give up some information from time to time... shoemoney.com, nickycakes.com, jonathanvolk.com, ppc.bz, zacjohnson.com and a lot more smaller guys who give away info more freely. As a matter of fact, zacjohnson posted a profitable step-by-step facebook tutorial not too long ago. Read, try something similar, test. If the offer doesnt convert very well, but you are somewhat breakeven, start split testing your ads, pages, etc. Read on tracking 202 and other tools. Read forums, wickedfire has some tutorials, but don't ask simple questions there. Anyway, hope this helps, the info is out there, but trial and error works the best. If you are afraid to lose $500, don't try it as you may lose some $ before you find something. Good luck.
I am doing well with Azoogle and other CPA networks. I use PPC marketing only as my traffic source. I think the key to what i do is, rotate offers evenly, between 3 - 10 per landing page and don't rely on a single landing page. If one landing page is failing to convert, create another and then delete the failing one. If any part of a failing campaign is successful, delete what doesnt work and expand on what does. Don't be afraid to lose money to make some money.
The reason why you are not making is because you are suffering from information overload. Pick one niche and concentrate on that only while giving value to your customers.
Dude, there are people out there banking $1800 - $3200 a day after expenses.. It's possible, just don't expect it to happen overnight. You need to walk before you run.
I thought I'm the youngest member of this forum, and have less post of all, finally i found my mate..LOL
How do you split test when you are doing CPA email/zip code submits? When you do these offers don't you direct them straight to the merchant's page to submit their info? Or is there a way that you can actually design your own page with a form for them to fill out?
