Affiliate Marketing Revised

Everything you think you know about building an affiliate business is wrong. The simple truth is that the old rules no longer apply. If you play by the old rules, you will lose this game.

The big lie

You’ve probably heard how easy it is to start an affiliate business. Well, that’s true . . . to a point It’s far easier that developing, selling and supporting your own product. But starting your own business is really hard, so it’s all relative.

The bad news…

And to make matters worse, you’ve taught to do it the hard way. You’re told to pick one of more products to promote. Next do some keyword research. Then to use these keywords to buy ads promoting the product. And sit back and collect the profits. But this just won’t work!

Forget keywords

This method worked a couple years ago. But the competition has shot the price of keywords through the roof. It’s time for a paradigm shift.

A better way

All is not lost. Here’s how to win at this game.

Start using CPA marketing
Instead of researching keywords, research demographics
Use image ads

Get into CPA marketing

CPA means Cost Per Action. It’s so much easier than promoting products. Because it doesn’t involve payment. You get paid when they take an “action”. Like completing a survey. Which is much easier than getting them to buy something.

Do demographics research

Keywords are no longer relevant (you’ll see in a minute). Invest your research time into demographics. Once you’ve picked the CPA offer to promote. Next, you go to Quantcast.com. And discover the exact demographics of your ideal prospect.

Do image ad marketing

So you know what your promoting and you know who will be interested. You can target these exact demographics on display networks. And use images as your ads. And there was no keyword research required. The biggest advantage is price. Keyword ads are expensive, but image ads are still cheap.

Summing it up

This is truly a quick cash concept. Because getting started in CPA is free. You can buy image ad clicks for a fraction of keyword ad clicks. You can use demographics to target your ideal prospect. And your commission is much easier to earn.
