I have many people always emailing me the following type of comments : -
“abhi wtf man, how do I get accepted to an Affiliate Network?”
“....okay they rejected my account, please reply to me or I will be mad..”
“...They rejected my account 3 times, how do I get accepted”?
There is no magic secret in getting accepted to an affiliate account. But what you. need to do before you join one is to make sure you have the following things ready.
An existing website.
To be accepted on an Affiliate network you have to show them you are serious about
promoting their products therefore, you need to have a website which has adverts,
good content and a niche.
For example, a website on dogs or any blog about something specific with good
content and a bunch of adverts is a good indicator to them that you will promote
their publishers ads on your website with good intention.
If your website is ugly and does not have good content and is considered to be inappropriate then you will not be accepted. For the purpose of these blackhat techniques you need to make sure.your website sensible and does not break any terms and conditions.
Remember you need to show the Affiliate managers that you intend to promote
their products using your website and other techniques.
Never EVER reveal your Blackhat techniques to ANY affiliate company or you will be
banned immediately.
Once you have decided on a specific website and have registered the domain name
(you can even buy a cheap .info name for 99 cents from Godaddy to be accepted) it
is time to put down your Affiliate techniques.
For example, 99% of all registration pages for Affiliate companies always a question along the lines of ..
“How do you intend to promote Publishers products?”
And I usually put something like this. This will always get you accepted..
“Hi, I intend to promote your ads using a range of online marketing techniques. I
am an online marketing expert and I will be using email marketing, article
marketing and social network marketing to promote the products. Furthermore, I
will be promoting your products on my blog and my website [URL name] and will
generate traffic using a range of PPC methods geared towards different niches. I
look forward to work with you and promote more of your products”.
Now the above line tells them you are serious an you are not going to mess them
about. This is important because if you do not bother with this part of the
registration process then you will most likely not be accepted. So make sure you say
something like above!
Once you have submitted your information you might either get accepted on the
same day, or they might call you to confirm a few things with you over the phone.
Usually if they call you they will ask you the same questions “How do you intend to
promote our products” - always make sure you repeat what I just said above...and
you should be alright :) Once you are happy it is now time to get started with
Blackhat Code techniques.
Please note the following techniques are blackhat and you will need to understand that if you consider any of the methods unethical then please stop reading this guide
and quit.
However, if you are serious about making some serious money with Blackhat
Techniques then you should put on your Black Hat and get ready to be shocked and
amazed on the most revealing Blackhat secrets which I have personally used to
generated thousands of dollars...
Method 1 – Are you sick of this method? - E-Date Method
I am first going to start off with one of the oldest methods I first discovered in 2007.
This method has been kinda saturated to death but I can still easily make $200-$300
a day with this with my easy simple strategy.
I call this method – the e-date method because quite simply it involves the dating
niche. This method is simply trying to target “men” and get them to sign up to an
affiliate link offer. In this method I will also show you which offers are the best
“converting” ones and how you can use your creativity to make even more money
with this method. Now before I begin if you are thinking “oh no, not this method
again”, well you should reconsider because what I am going to show you is a
powerful, proven blackhat system that actually works each time you try it.
Before we begin this method let me find dating-related offers from popular Affiliate
Networks to see which ones we can promote.
For the purpose of this guide we are going to be looking mainly at USA offers.
CX Digital Dating Offers.
The above offers are a snapshot taken from CX Digital Media (Incentaclick) dating
offers which are aimed at the USA target market. What we are looking for here is the
offers that pay us per lead, I.e. when a user submits his email and makes a free
account to one of the dating websites.
Simply select the one that you would feel would convert the best. I usually select
DateTheUK from CX Digital Media which pays you $4.75 per sign up. Always select
offers that pay you anywhere from $3-$5.00+ and is a simply sign up. For example,
looking at the above list as you can see SinglesNet (3585) pays $4.00 for an “E-mail
submission only” which simply means you have to direct a user to the page and get
him to submit his email address.
The Method
Once you have selected your dating offer you wish to promote it is time to pull out
your Blackhat Code guide and use my method. The beauty of this method is that you
can be very creative and use your own little twists.
I avoid advertising on places like Craigslist because they will simply ban you. I use
Gumtree and other classified sites which I would get a fairly high response. However,
the key thing about the e-dating method is that you want people to email you and
once you have lots and lots of emails in your account then you are ready to begin.
Before I go into this method I recommend you purchase a cheap domain name.
Because we want to keep our costs low I would buy a cheap .info or a cheap .org
domain name (unless you can get a .com for 99 cents).
Namecheap is the best place to buy a domain name and they are always running
special offers for domains.
I would purchase a domain name related to the dating niche and what you intend to
do. For example, hotgirlsunited.info would be a good domain name. Just pick
something that would relate to this niche. Once you have purchased your domain
name it is time to redirect your domain name to the affiliate CPA affiliate offer which
will “protect” you from getting banned in case your offer has a too high click through
rate.
CPA or Cost Per Action is an online business model, which pays out for every action completed by the consumer.
Advertisers will pay YOU when a consumer gives his email, zip code, opts in for a free trial, or supplies relevant information pertaining to their campaign.
CPA is one of the most popular methods of making money online through your website, blogs, or newsletters.
This strategy is a bit different from the Adsense program where one is paid when a visitor clicks on an advertisement. CPA often requires specific action.
As you will discover while learning the ins and outs of CPA campaigns, the more actions required from a user typically equates to a higher potential to earn.
For example, you may be paid $1.00 for every email address compiled from visitors to your website signing up for a free report, while you could earn $50 or more from the same person purchasing a product or subscription.
Cost Per Action marketing is one of the best channels to explore if you are interested in generating an extra stream of income, even if you are brand new to online business and Internet Marketing.
Here are just a few reasons why CPA campaigns and opportunities are so appealing:
No need to generate sales in order to earn.
No need to do cold calling or massive ad campaigns that typically require a lot of upfront costs and investment.
Advertisers design their campaigns to convert. Market research and testing is usually not required at all. Your job is to generate traffic to their offers.
No experience required: CPA Marketing is something that anyone can become involved in, regardless of location, experience or knowledge.
Promotional Media Provided: Many companies will provide you with all of the promotional tools and media that you need, eliminating any requirement of designing web pages
YOU will encounter different terms when you go deeper into the CPA Marketing world. Here are the more common ones:Affiliate Vs. Merchant.
You are considered an affiliate when you participate in CPA opportunities where you are paid on a commission basis.Campaign.
A campaign is a promotion that you will run or participate in. Each campaign pays out based on a different action.
CPA Network.The “network” is the company offering CPA opportunities.
Per Lead or Per Sale.
Pay per lead is when you earn money for every new lead generated by your marketing effots. You do not need to sell anything in order to earn with PPL. With Pay Per Sale (PPS), you must generate a sale in order to be eligible to receive commissions, based on a flat fee or percentage basis.
Evaluate your target audience
You need to understand your market if you wish to do well with CPA opportunities.
By knowing what types of campaigns and promotional offers your website visitors would be interested in, you are able to effectively set up targeted campaigns that will convert.
Are your visitors interested in free magazine subscriptions? If so, what genre would they primarily be interested in? Survey your website visitors, ask them what they are interested in and use that information to select appropriate campaigns.
Be Flexible
Don’t just choose one CPA campaign and stick to it, be open to exploring all of the many opportunities available.
Spend time experimenting with different lead generation tactics, create squeeze pages, and subscribe to multiple CPA opportunities so that you can thoroughly evaluate what campaigns will work best for your website.
Read The Rules
Don’t venture into CPA without first learning the strategies that have worked for seasoned marketers, and save yourself time and money by structuring a step-by-step system that will help you maximize your traffic and revenue.
Make sure that you understand the guidelines, rules and any restrictions that may be in place.
Often times, CPA companies require specific information in order for you to be credited with a lead or sale.
In addition, there are specific methods of advertising that may be considered misleading, going against the terms of service of most of the established CPA companies, so always read over the guidelines and follow them.
Choosing The
When you first get started with CPA, you will quickly notice how certain opportunities generate better results than others.
It’s important to always stay on top of the campaigns that you are involved in, so that you are generating the highest conversions for the time and money you put into your marketing efforts.
While CPA can run on auto pilot once you have your system in place, you will have to roll up your sleeves and get your hands dirty when first starting out. Create a system where you are able to review your progress each day, weeding out ineffective campaigns and tweaking campaigns that are working well.
When choosing CPA offers that appeal to you, do some online research to determine if other marketers have been successful with these offers as well as the methods that they are using to promote these campaigns successfully.
When evaluating a CPA offer, there are a few things to keep in mind:
1) Less Action Equals More Money.
Obviously the less that a visitor or subscriber has to do, the better. If you are being paid for every email address entered in an online form, you will make more money than campaigns that require a user to complete a series of steps.
When you are first starting out with CPA, choose simple campaigns, so that you can get a feel for how your audience responds to your offers, as well as how CPA marketing works.2) Free Offers People love receiving free gifts, trial offers, subscriptions and so on, and these are quite often some of the easiest CPA opportunities available that will generate quick cash for very little work. After all, you are giving people something for free, eliminating any pre-selling.
Research your target traffic. Know how to dig down into your market and know exactly how to determine what campaigns are likely to yield instant results.
Evaluate niche markets, methods of generating targeted traffic and blend CPA opportunities with specific groups of people, so that you are offering them exactly what they are looking for.
Evaluate your websites and marketing campaigns from their perspective.
Does it sound good? Believable? Ask yourself from the perspective of a consumer.
Would you sign up for your own offer? Would you be enticed to provide your email address in exchange for what you are offering? Avoid hype or gimmicks and let people know exactly what to expect and what they are required to do in order to receive what they are being offered.
Keep it Simple
Set up your campaigns so they are comprehensive and easy. You want your visitors to go through the process quickly and error free.
Whenever you set up a poll, a list or an opt-in form, be sure to go through the steps yourself to ensure that there are no problems, broken links, images or pages.
Participate in campaigns with existing promotional material that has been tested
and proven to convert.
These will save you a lot of time and effort, because the bulk of the work has already been done for you.
Evaluate it once again, from a consumer’s perspective. Is it attractive? Clear? Comprehensive?
Go for something that is not commonly promoted. Think of how the competition will be and balance out the risk of getting fewer conversions by participating in campaigns that are less promoted, especially when starting out.
Timing is of the essence for CPA marketing like any other business. It will also be good to be among the first to market a new offer.
Once you have chosen the CPA offers that you want to market, commit to marketing it and following through with your strategy, even if the results are slow yielding at first.
If you have a website, make good use of it to push by integrating CPA offers into your existing pages.
Make sure that the CPA offer blends well with the purpose of your website. Do not make the mistake of featuring an off-targeted advertisement, or not properly evaluating your market.
Lead generating or squeeze pages are also excellent channels for CPA marketing. Free ebooks, reviews, and other free digital goods can be given away to help build the confidence of your target market and encouraging them to follow through with various CPA offers.
Once you become more comfortable with the various aspects of CPA marketing, you will be more confident in exploring the different offers and discovering new ways that will help you maximize your income, so take it one step at a time.
