This will be my newb journal as I venture into the world of pay per click traffic, and using it to eventually reach $100 / day (which I'm trying to do by April, tops).

I work hard every day and I also have a VA that I've hired from some time back. We are both new to CPA marketing.

I usually buy WSOs from the warrior forum and utilize their strategies and methods to make money.

Here goes....

Tom Ato

I have been watching a heck of a lot of CPA / Adwords related videos to learn the ropes of how CPA marketing works, and how I can drive traffic on adwords.

Thanks to fiverr, i can get my hands on pre-made accounts with voucher money in them, for very cheap. This DRAMATICALLY brings down business costs.

Tom Ato

UPDATE: after consulting w/ a person on these boards, i've decided that buying WSOs is no longer the way to go.

Interesting to say the least....

JCash

Example?

WSO's are funny. BHW guys usually torrent them the day they come out and I've grabbed a couple for the lulz. My favorite was this retarded scheme with putting tinyurl's to CPA offers on 5x8 cards and putting them up on bulletin boards. Another was really mental, involved finding people with families, taking pics of their kids and selling them a digital photoframe for 10 times cost, or some shit, would have been funny if not so creepy.

I will say it again... If someone was making a lot of money will they sell their method? I know I will never. Also shit gets pirated all the time, your method will be done in one week tops.

Tom Ato

thanks for the advice yall.

Today I've been getting my nerd on, trying to learn as much as possible about the ancient arts of CPA and PPC. Im on Video 5 of the PPC Case Study that I found on YouTube.

It is super refreshing to be able to follow along with someone, learning a ton more as I go, instead of all theory and vague advice.

I also owe a lot to the user Grieve on these boards. Very helpful and very friendly, taking the time to talk to a newb like me. And I also plan on going through the Wicked Fire stickies to learn some PPC advice... will probably be applying to different networks soon too (already a member of 3).

Going to be taking a fuk ton of action very soon. I want success and I want it ASAP.

Tom Ato

I just bought one of the recent "WSOs of the Day"...however from what im understanding here that forum promotes sunshine out the ass, and no real substance, lol.

Tom Ato

keeping it moving along...I ran into NickyCakes Affiliate Marketing guide for newbies and it is a GOD SEND. danngg I needed it.

On another hand, I was able to get my hands on a bunch of landing page templates (a lot of them). I'm still trying to decide whether to pay designers to make landing pages for me...or get Photoshop and learn the language myself. Does anyone here create their own landing pages?

Tom Ato

right now i'm confused on how to create a good landing page...

Tom Ato

ok, im hacking away at three different versions of a landing page (with different offers on all three) is that accepted to show here?

prizes4pennies

As far as I know you can post the landing page pics here. That's what designers selling their services do. Just know that if you have any names or URLs that some people might take your idea and run with it themselves.

I would highly recommend Profitstheme.com (not Aff Link) by Welly Mulia, You can knock sales pages up in no time.


Hope this helps

Tom Ato

right on, i will not this. thanks for your help


i'll check that out too.


anyway, journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step...

launched my first peerfly aff campaign on 7search

Tom Ato

2,251 impressions on 7search, and not even one click sadly...

Tom Ato

got my first click on 7search! It was for 4 cents, but no conversion. the odd thing is that 0.14 cents were spent from my account.

anyone know whether 7search is a good platform to reach $100 /day eventually?

emp

Don't use 7search. Ever.

Seriously? Whats wrong with it? Its one of the only i can really afford atm.

AllBizNiz

I don't mean to reign on you parade but don't you think you should set your goal a little lower? Since you're running paid your main goal should at least be to break even. You'll lose money and fail a few times before things start to click and you start making good money (for most people).

If you don't have the capital to throw at *good paid traffic maybe you should provide some sort of service to fund your marketing efforts. With paid traffic starting out you're either going to just get it right off the bat, get lucky or completely tank the campaign.

Aware of this. Was thinking of applying for a loan (no different than a school loan in my eyes)

Also got my 1st two converions today!

emp

7 search is a 3rd tier search provider.
Or in other words: they suck!

You will get almost 0 clicks and those will never ever convert.

Seriously, 50$ spent on 7search is 50$ wasted.

the more you know lol

Ok, i will be moving to a different search engine soon enough. I'm thinking of taking out a loan 3K - 5K so i can master facebook and adcenter ppc. after all, its like paying for your own education.

CimmerianSage

Good luck, man. Keep experimenting but don't get too careless.

I have been considering trying out CPA for myself.

I'm doing PPV traffic to a landing page to an affiliate link soon. I want to try out a network that specializes in mobile advertising, but I'm still sifting through networks to see what I like the best for the job.

j0hnsmith

Justin Dupre gives landing pages away.
