Offline Advertising + CPA

[HarveyJ]

Classifieds are dirt cheap because you're paying by the word, not by space. Although Bold does cost extra.

But yeahAssi9, don't discount the power of offline advertising.
I made a few grand with tear off sheet posters at Uni campuses when I got into this at the very beginning and didn't know I could actually buy PPC ads.

Now that google is giving the axe to their print ads in adwords. Is there anywhere else you can go to buy newspaper ads across multiple newspapers instead of calling each one individually?

Anyone ever run into problems with merchants not allowing this kind of traffic?

Why would the merchant not want you to send them this kind of traffic?

If someone is reading through as newspaper and is able to spot and remember your ad (website or phone number, presumably) and act upon it then or later, then they are probably interested, right?

Why would a merchant not want a self-motivated, interested buyer?

On a related note:
Do people think before they post?

Looks interesting. My area has a lot of these smaller papers, ill probably give it a try

Apparently you are new to promoting affiliate offers, or you just dont have enough experience working with different networks. Either way, I don't give a fuck. I know how picky some merchants are about what traffic you send them. My question makes perfect sense.

A few months ago, someone posted a thread claiming success with flyers under windshield wipers.

Excuse me. I have a cold

Ignore the haters.

Some people just fail at marketing and think it's not possible, so they call bullshit on everyone else, these type of people will never prosper.

Or use your head and pay a high school/college student to do it for you for like $50 or something.

I mean, think about it...
Pick a real busy shopping day when the parking lot at a local mall is going to be jam packed and go put a flyer on every single car. There's probably going to be a few thousand there, at least.

You could make and print some flyers yourself and just incur the cost of ink and paper (probably not much) and even if a handful of those people convert it probably paid for itself.

If you think distributing some flyers for an offer is too much work then I doubt you'll ever find success.

I just hope ppl won't say I'm a suspect when a car gets stolen that day. My advice is to pick a parking lot where cars hardly get stolen.

You can also hire a local bum to do it. That's how this guy made a few dollars selling bottled water: Neville's Financial Blog: Make Money From Confiscated Stuff at Airport?

Your safe. I don't post make monies online
