Banking With Affiliate Marketing - Guide Part One

Hey guys,

I’ve been a long time lurker on this forum for quite some time and have found it really useful over the last couple of years so thought that it’s about time I give something back…. [Image: idea.gif]

My name’s Adam and I’m a 29 year old English guy who’s spent the last 2 years of my life traveling the world while starting and maintaining a large scale Internet Marketing business. Things have gone better than I've ever imagined and I've also managed to spend lots of time in many of the amazing places mentioned on this forum.

But it wasn’t all like this… in fact, 2.5 years ago I was a broke backpacker on a Working Holiday Visa in Australia who was massively in debt and begging his Mom to buy him a ticket home.

2.5 years later I’m the director of a large scale Internet firm, a marketing consultant, a millionaire, and have done all this while living out of a suitcase and spreading my time between 3-6 months stints in the likes of Colombia, Thailand, Poland, New York, Brazil the UK and Malaysia – seeing these places while still maintaining the hustle and setting myself up for life. What I am about to share is some quality information if you are looking to do the same. But what I cannot give you is the passion and desire to succeed at this - if you are interested in taking what I give you and applying it and you show genuine interest in this... I can promise you you'll be in for a wild ride! So please go away and study this stuff hard [Image: smile.gif]

What I’m about to give you is a general overview, blueprint and some reading resources to check out that I think you will find useful. The breadth of the subject is pretty crazy – so I’ve only selected certain things so that you don’t get overwhelmed when starting out. There’s no way I can cram everything I want to in a forum post so be sure to ask any questions you’ve got and I’ll stick around to answer them as best as I can.

What is affiliate marketing?


The basis of affiliate marketing is essentially selling other peoples products and services for them and getting paid a commission (which can range from anywhere from $1.50 for getting someone to enter their email all the way up to to thousands of dollars for large ticket items).

A lot of companies out there either don’t know how to market themselves effectively online or are wanting to scale their curreny sales beyond their own capacity which is why they hire people like us (affiliates) to generate extra revenue for them to make more money. Affiliates also tend to be a lot more creative with their marketing efforts.

The most popular type of affiliate marketing right now is commonly known as CPA (cost per action) which means that you can get paid by people filling out forms and leads for companies rather than them parting with their hard-earned cash (although you can obviously get paid for that as well!). This means you don't even necessarily have to get people to pay any more for you to get paid.

What do I need to do this?

Pretty much a computer with Internet connection is all you really need along with a little investment capital to get started. I have personally been working from a laptop for the past couple of years and moving around from place to place as I have felt like it (I have plans to return to Poland very shortly).

The beauty of affiliate marketing is that I have no real actual clients, and no deadlines to meet – if I want to stop working and take a couple of months off.. it’s not a problem. I can simply pause my campaigns and come back to it whenever I feel like it (although it’s got to the stage now where it’s very addictive for me and I really love what I do).

What's the basis of this stuff?

Essentially, the two fundamental components of successful affiliate marketing is having something to sell people (a product or offer) and then the ability to show it to people (generating ‘traffic’). While you can use search engine optimization (SEO) to make websites and try and generate traffic that way, the quickest and most scalable way to make consistent and large income is buying paid traffic from sites like Facebook, Google, Bing and this is the type of marketing I specialize in because the earnings income potential is unlimited and means you can generate large amounts of fast money without waiting around to see if Google ‘likes’ your site with SEO which is more of a slower and more patient game. I like my money fast [Image: smile.gif]

How do I find things to sell people?

In order to get started… you’re going to need to join what are known as CPA networks which are effectively middlemen between affiliates and the companies who want their products sold for them (and generally take a 20% slice of the pie themselves). This is where you’re going to find the products and services to sell to people which can range from large dating sites such as Match.com, to ringtones, to insurance offers, to diet products, to Facebook games.

There are thousands of CPA networks out there but I recommend you start out with because I know them well, they have a good selection of offers, they help newcomers and they are trustworthy:

Adsimilis
Wolf Storm Media

Getting into a CPA network isn’t as hard as people make out but you need to know what information to submit etc. Here is a useful guide if you encounter and issues with applying:

http://www.dailyaffiliatetips.com/the-es...a-networks

How do I make money?

You are going to be purchasing traffic from various websites to drive eyeballs to look at your offers and buy your stuff / fill out your forms.

It may sound a little scary at first, but simply your goal is to buy traffic at cheaper than you are selling it for (kind of like day trading in a way). Say for example, that you are buying clicks to your advert from Facebook for 0.05c a piece, and that for each click you are selling them a dating offer and earning 0.10c per click – you are effectively doubling your money or what is commonly known in the industry as making a 100% return on your investment (ROI). And at times – and once you’ve generated a sufficient bankroll – you may be spending thousands of dollars a day meaning that profits of 5-10k a day are absolutely within your reach once you get a handle on things and sufficient experience(no, I am not joking ☺).

These CPA networks will usually pay you weekly by direct deposit or bank wire – meaning that you can get access to your money relatively quickly to scale your campaigns. To give you one more example of the earnings potential of this – one of my business partners is 17, has been doing this for about 1.5 years and just made his first million – his parents must be proud ☺ This is the real fucking deal.

Where should I start out?

I wanted to give you guys something that's not too complex that you can go away with and try now, so in keeping with the theme of this site, one of the most popular ways to make money (and one that I strongly suggest when starting out due to the low barrier of entry) is advertising dating offers on Facebook or Plenty Of Fish. These places are good training grounds before you move onto the bigger stuff so that you don’t end up losing tons of cash.

http://www.facebook.com/ads/
https://ads.pof.com/

You can get started on both straight away with a small budget and have adverts live the same day. If you spend any time browsing Facebook you’ve probably already been bombarded with dating ads yourself (especially if your relationship status is set to “single” because Facebook allows you to target your adverts to certain people and with certain interests which you can read more about in the guides).

Here’s a screenshot of a couple of very basic affiliate adverts on Facebook which are selling dating websites from CPA networks:

http://bjoernw.com/wp-content/uploads/20...mb_ads.png

As you can see they are not particularly creative – I am sure some of the people on this forum can come up with something better ☺

The person placing those adverts will generally get around $3-5 for getting someone to fill in the initial free application form for these websites. The USA is actually one of the more saturated companies when it comes to promoting affiliate offers in generally – I generally recommend people start with places like the UK, Canada and Australia first and you can also easily promote non-English offers in countries like France, Brazil etc using translation services such as http://www.onehourtranslation.com

But first you need to read around the subject more and start learning your craft (how to write good adverts, what/where to promote etc).

Here is a link to the best guide I know of for getting started advertising on Facebook: http://rapidshare.com/files/404960411/fa.rar

And here is one for Plenty Of Fish http://btjunkie.org/torrent/CPA-Traffic-...6602fb7084

I would suggest grabbing them and working through each one piece by piece to start with. Like any skill, it's important to get a good grasp of the fundamentals.

The most important concepts to learn and research for newbies:

1. Writing good adverts / selecting good advertising images (see guides)
2. Setting up and using tracking system (see guides and prosper.tracking202.com/) so you know what is selling and where.
3. How to make and upload basic websites (simple HTML or Dreamweaver, FTP etc)
4. Having the right mindset - hustle, creativity etc.

Where can I read more?

There are plenty of guys who are making huge bank online, specially the big dogs in the CPA world. One guy here in Toronto, an indian, is making 6 figures per day doing only CPAs. Of course, he has turned it into a science, has a huge team of programmers, writers and all assisting him along the way. And he's got a huge budget too, where he spends up wards of 80-100k per day on advertising. Google Gauher Chaudry and you'll see.

As to whether this guy (OP) is real or not, can't say. However, I do know for a fact that CPA can be extremely profitable if done right, if you're very detailed oriented and extremely analytic who won't mind working 14-16 hours a day. I did try CPA's when I first started online marketing, but since I'm the laziest guy on earth, I gave up not long after and instead went searching for something less intensive. Now, I spend 2 hours a day max "working" (if answering emails from prospects can be called work) and I'm happy.

Like in any business/endeavour, you'd have to totally immerse yourself into it, learn as much as you can and just do it. You'll make mistakes no doubt, but they are your best teachers. Focus on just one type of traffic generation method, master it and you'll see money coming in like clockwork. Persist, work hard, learn from your mistakes and you'll make bank too.

God damn you affiliate marketer millionaires hahah. I could spend the next 6 months locked in my office just reading 16 hours a day, and then another 6 months testing 16 hours a day and I would barely start scratching the surface with this shit. So tempting.

The question is do I want to start to gamble my stack and time for shit I only know a little about, or re-invest in whats working already but will never do 7 figures in a year?

It can lead to the occasional account ban for sure but in all honesty - it's one of the most profitable ways to run dating that I know of (especially in international markets where competition is much lower than somewhere like the USA).

Also Facebook is sometimes extremely slack in the type of adverts they allow through... it's pretty much like Russian roulette. I've seen full scale porn ads and all kinds of shit on there.... persistence is the name of the game a lot of the time and you'll get through some quality ads eventually if you try hard. Account bans aren't as frequent as you may think.

When I was running Facebook hard last year I would run 10-15 accounts simultaneously with outsourcers submitting adverts using a customized script that I got built. I would sometimes lose accounts, but it's part of the game and a managed risk - the profit potential makes it worth it overall..... just get more accounts!

I'm highly skeptical of people who share advice on how they make money while supposedly getting nothing in return for it. It's like those guys on TV late at night that offer you their real estate "secrets" that will turn a pauper into a millionaire. If they had information this valuable, they wouldn't be sharing it, they'd be monopolizing the business for themselves, not creating competitors.

I'm not accusing the OP of bullshitting, because I don't know. But I don't easily trust people that tell me how to get rich fast.

You can believe whatever you like...

I wasn't saying that to brag.... I was saying it to make you aware of the potential in affiliate marketing. Hopefully it will awaken some people who might decide to explore the subject more and do well out of it. That's certainly what happened with a lot of my friends who've ditched their depressing 9-5 lifestyles and made some really good money.

If you think making a million dollars in profit in CPA affiliate marketing over 2.5 years is an unrealistic amount.... then I'm afraid you'd be very much mistaken. It breaks down to about $1400 a day which is chump change for a lot of the people I work with these days. I am literally total small fry....

In fact, the top 5% of the industry would probably laugh at you.... they aim for more like 10 figures in profit a day and anything less just isn't worth the time or hassle. Feel free to browse http://www.wickedfire.com and read the countless stories of people making a few million selling US Acai Diet products etc.

I personally work with a 17 year old media buyer who made his first million at the age of 15. Unfortunately he's also being sued by the FTC so will probably lose a fair chunk of change. [Image: sad.gif]

I can empathize and understand that this is very much outside most peoples reality right now - mainly because it seems too good to be true to be real. That's why stories like this are often met with skepticism.

That's fine.... I used to think like that as well and until you get the experience of trying things for yourself and experiencing those big breakthroughs - you simply don't have the perception or understanding to "get it". In a way it's very similar to "game".

The whole purpose of this post was to provide some further resources for people to check out if they're interested. That's all. 99% of the people here will either ignore it or give it a cursory glance and then forget all about it. But maybe, just maybe 1% will read about it and take the action necessary. It'd definitely be more productive that flaming someone who's simply trying to help people...[Image: smile.gif]

I have nothing to promote... nothing to sell..... there will be no e-book from me. This is a pure value offering for the forum. You have 2 choices - ignore this post or take a look at some of the things I've mentioned.

Unfortunately, I can only show you the path.... you have to decide to walk through it [Image: smile.gif]

You hit the nail on the head here. And yeah, I'm definitely one of the former type that you mention - I'm definitely guilty of putting in some stupidly long hours. But that's also because I'm very passionate about what I do and have targets and goals that I want to reach for myself. But yeah, the people who really immerse themselves in it do exceptionally well.... whereas some people are content to just build up steady, stable passive income streams and not go chasing for the major riches..... but they definitely are a lot less stressed out usually.

Also like you say.... picking one thing, mastering it and sticking with it is CRUCIAL. It's much better to pick one thing and do it exceptionally than to dabble in all areas and be mediocre.

The suggestions I put forward (POF and Facebook), I posted because they have a low barrier to entry, are easy to get started with, and have good profit potential. I always recommend them to people starting out.

Personally I don't really mess with these two as much as in the past as I mainly do large scale, direct site media buys.

Haha yeah I totally understand seriously - in all honesty I'd probably be quite skeptical myself if someone rocked up to a forum and started writing this stuff.

I mean what I'm not promising here is that this is an "easy way to get rich" at all. If anyone got the assumption from my post that it was like a "Oh it's really damn easy to make money on the Internet" then I apologize for that.

In fact, it's really fucking hard work. There's no magic pill for this.... you need to be dedicated, have a desire to succeed, have good technical skills etc. But this is no scheme where you click your fingers and you've got a million bucks in the bank. I actually work 16 hour days regularly and am stressed out to fuck. In fact, my goal for this yeah is to chill out more and take it easy (but it's not going so well so far).

The smarter ones also know that as with any affiliate scheme, only those who join the first have a chance to make some decent money. When the scheme is already popular, in the BEST case you'll get even. Most people would lose time, money or both.

And while you may have good intentions, the fact that you stuffed in your affiliate ID into signup links - and tried to hide it by using the redirector - looks more like advertising. Especially considering the rest of your message which screams "wanna-be-another-Tim-Ferris" just by the tone.

People DO make money online all day, every day, some make very good money and a few are making a killing. Just because you're not making money online it doesn't mean it cannot be done.
I do believe and know for a fact that there are guys out there making 100-150k PER day in CPA. I met one such guy here in Toronto. Is it easy? Hell no. Is it hard? hell yes. Damn right, but it is being done. Remember, the first step to making money online or being successful whether it'd be in business or even in game, is to have the right mindset or inner game as some call it. This is the toughest part for a lot of people as we see it on this forum and on this thread.

KanyeWest,
good overall post, thanks for the post man. I did dabble in CPA 2-3 years ago but didn't pursue it. Now that I have so much free time that I'm bored out of my mind, I might get back into the CPA game. I still belong to quite a few networks. Btw, which network would you say has the best offers and payout? When I was getting into CPA, the talk was that EWA network were the best. Are they still the top cie to run campaigns for? Do you do PPV or is it all PPC that you're doing?

Cheers man.

That's a pretty defeatist attitude. There are literally thousands of people making large amounts of money with affiliate programs that have been around for years - take Amazon for example. People are banking thousands a day in profits with dating and education offers that are years old... you definitely don't need to get in first to make good money.

The guy whose link I used to sign up for my first affiliate network 6 years back got something like $38,000 from me before the referral program was terminated. Even if you have a few million in the bank its enough to matter. I didn't like him and didn't even realize it until like 2 years later when looking at some obscure stats page.

No one is netting $150k a day, grossing that and a lot more yes. The margins are pretty brutal *and* the guys doing that are promoting CPA offers using deceptive practices and use advertisers involved in bank & wire fraud. Feds have been asleep at the wheel on this one.

What makes affiliate marketing so great is its fucking bootcamp for figuring out how the real world of internet business works. It is very difficult to do over the long term, and those that survive are capable of running multi-million dollar businesses.

This isn't get rich quick land but it does happen if your sharp, just don't pay $ for anyones shitty product or ebook, the quality of free info is way better.

I have listed my main concerns, and can summarize it here:

- You overstate either how easy it is, or how much money it generates. Trust me, if there was a reliable easy way for everyone with the computer and Internet connection to make $1,000 a day, the whole America would be doing it. Those who I know making major money from it basically work 18 hours a day on their businesses. And most people don't make anything at all.

- You embedded your referral ID into registration links, you tried to hide that by using a redirector, and you lied about having nothing to promote/sell. With this one you lost any credibility you might get, at least in my eyes.

- Every time I hear about affiliate marketing, it is always a story like yours - making a lot of money, traveling, and enjoying the world, followed by some very generic details with very little detailed information to make it look easy - always followed by signup links with embedded affiliate ID. Your post is so typical in this sense that I'm sure if you sent it via email, it would be detected as spam.

To summarize, in essense you're advertising some specific networks in hope someone would join so you'd get your affiliate commission. And while there is nothing wrong with it per se, the fact that you are not open about it speaks for itself.

One thing you may consider, though, is that typically affiliate marketing sites prohibit deceiving practices - which often includes "hiding" the referral ID under some guise, promising unrealistic returns or something else. If enough people report your ID to the network as being involved in such practices, they would terminate your account.

Money is money. Actually today I made $2635.45. Roosh can confirm this because he quite rightly wanted to verify that I'm legit and not some random troll. Therefore I emailed him with screenshot grabs as proof showing my traffic spend and daily sales for verification (and no, they will not be made public - for numerous reasons).

Screenshot??? LOL. I've seen people faking bank statements and tax returns...

Banking With Affiliate Marketing - Guide Part One

OK forum, you win... I admit defeat.

I'll stop trying to offer advice and help.... it's clearly not needed or wanted here. Accept my apologies for taking time out of my day to provide some free knowledge, and forget I ever said anything.... there's clearly no way to win this argument so I'm not even going to try. Too busy.

AFFILIATE MARKETING IS NOT REAL.
