Got Accepted Into CPA Networks!

So I finally decided to take the plunge and fill out some applications to some CPA networks…

It seems as though promoting CPA offers are very popular at the moment and everyone is jumping on it.

The first two networks that I’ve chosen to join up with are NeverBlue and Azoogle, both of these are top notch companies and both have some of the best offers available alongside with some of the best affiliate managers to work with.

This is how I got accepted into the CPA networks so easily…

First I filled out an online application for each network, I then waited a hour and called their office directly..
When I got a hold of a representative I informed them that I recently had filled out an application online and was seeing if I could speed up the approval process since I was eager to begin promoting.

They then asked me simple questions as in how much experience I had and how I was planning to get traffic to their offers. This part is really simple just present yourself as someone who is experienced and say that you mainly do PPC or SEO to get traffic, the person on the end of the line is a normal person so being pleasant and having some humor will take you a long way.

These companies just want to know if your serious about promoting and that you have a little experience when it comes to marketing.

I basically got accepted into their networks in under 5 minutes after I phoned them, this was real easy and it’s not as hard as people make it out to be!

I plan on joining a couple other networks but for now I am loaded with so many great offers that I think I’m going to be cool working with these two for now.

I’ll keep you updated on my CPA progress!

Successful Campaign Against The “Big” Boys!

So recently I was in preparation for a huge product launch by Saj P for his CPA course Zero Friction Marketing…

From the look of things this was going to be a very highly anticipated product and it was generating a huge buzz across the entire Internet Marketing scene, this meant that there was going to be a lot of competition and it was going to be hard to go heads up against the “Big” Boys and their huge lists.

I had about one week before launch day to get things in order so the first thing I did was purchase a domain name www.ZeroFrictionMarketingSite.com and try to do some fast SEO work to get it ranked.

This was going to be a difficult task because first off I didn’t have much time to get my site ranked up high enough since everyone else was already doing their working ranking their sites and believe me there were just a huge amount of competitors for this.

But I managed to do some serious backlinking from high PR sites and get my bookmarking in, also I created several squidoo lenses and hubpages that pointed to my site and several other things, this really boosted me in the searches real fast…

Can you believe that in 4-5 days I was ranked #1 on MSN and #2 and #3 for the product name?!? I was also second page on yahoo and page 4 on Google and climbing very fast everyday. Not too bad consider how fast I executed my SEO plan.

Now there were some serious heavy hitters on board you know the type that have like a 250k list… So trying to snag a piece of the profits through affiliate sales was going to be pretty hard. But I had my mind set because I knew this was going to be a profitable campaign.

Anyhow long story short here is a screen shot:

Not too bad for how fast I had to come up with the plan, this campaign is still going and it’s still generating sales but the buzz has died down. Also I’d like to mention that several people opted to go with the monthly repeat billing so I will continue to see affiliate commissions next month which is great!

So as you can see affiliate marketing isn’t as hard as most people make it out to be, you just have to find a product and stick to a gameplan and follow through with it. Everything else will fall into place… Well I’m back to work on a another one, laters!
