Accepted to Adscend Media CPA Network

Nail — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 08:44:52 +0000

I have been promoting CPA offers for about one and a half month now. I am happy that I have seen some success so far. Currently I am a member of Maxbounty and I promote offers related to video games. Check my last post about My First CPA Money.

Recently I started to work on a new website which will be mostly like a freebie and offers site and I am currently working on getting more traffic to it. I decided to try other networks as having more offers will give me more flexibility and in case if something goes wrong with one network then I can continue with the other.

That’s why I applied to Adscend Media CPA network. I don’t know much about that network yet, though they approved me in one day without a phone call. I strongly advise it to the ones who are uncomfortable with the phone calls.

They require a W8 form submission before you can get paid. There are about 600 campaigns in 14 categories in this network. Payments are made via Paypal, check, direct deposit in US, and wire transfer internationally. A good feature of the network is that they have content gateway and file gateway offers. This can be really powerful if you have some websites related to content like videos, software and other files.

I think Adscend Media is a good place to start for the newbies. If you consider joining, here is my referral link to Adscend Media.

Now I am on my way to check what type of offers they have and try them on one of my websites. I’ll update you about how it goes.

Small but Promising Progress in My Efforts

Nail — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 12:29:36 +0000

I see that it has been more than two weeks that I last updated my blog. I was busy with lots of things and I started to see some really promising progress in some of my projects. I will talk about each item in detail in the following days, but for now I just want to talk about the titles I am working on at the moment.

Firstly, I made my first Adsense money in the previous week. That was a $0.56 click and it came from a website I started after reading about XFactor Adsense method in Warrior Forum. The thread is closed now, though you can read and find a great deal of valuable information on how to make money with Adsense niche sites. After the first click, I started to put more content and create more backlinks to the site and the number of clicks are increasing slowly but now I know that I am on the right track.

Secondly, I continued to work on promoting CPA offers after seeing some success as I talked about on the post My First CPA Money Ever. And I was able to increase my earnings to just above $100 in January. In the post that I mentioned, I had said that what I was doing was scalable and although I am at the $5/day range now, I will work more on this and try to increase the earnings.

Another thing I had success is selling PLR and MRR products. Selling Master Resale Rights product is something I knew for a long time but hadn’t done anything about. About two months ago, I decided to give it a try and collected some MRR ebooks from the net. I uploaded about 5 products to Tradebit and waited a few days, after seeing no sales I simply gave up. Then one day in December, I got a message telling that I had a sale. That made me really happy and decided to work more on this. After the first sale, I searched the internet and found lots of PLR membership sites and downloaded lots of ebooks. I am now uploading them from time to time. I already got 3 sales in January, and I know I can increase this if I work more on this.

Lastly, I did some more freelance jobs that I like to do about wordpress and excel, and I earned enough money to pay my next three years of hosting. Doing freelance jobs is not my main interest and also not the subject of this blog however, when you need some urgent money, it can be really helpful.

As I said, I will talk about each subject in detail in the following days so stay tuned.

Why You Should Diversify in Monetizing Your Traffic

If you have a website which drives a consistent amount of traffic, either organic or paid and if you are monetizing this traffic with only one way, you should definitely try some other means of monetization. For example, let’s say your website is based on a niche and you serve adsense ads on your website. Let’s assume that you get a number of clicks and earn some money.

At this point, we can conclude that you have an active and interested crowd that click on ads on your site and it will be wise to test some other means of monetization which can bring an additional income each month to you.

One of the monetization methods is promoting affiliate products. You can try this by inserting affiliate links or banners on your site such as Amazon Associates or Clickbank. There are lots of other affiliate programs and networks to try but these two are the ones that convert really well if done properly.

Amazon affiliate program works really well on niche specific sites and blogs. Clickbank does also convert if the topics covered in your site are closely related to the product you promote.

Another thing you could try is to insert in text ads like Infolinks, Echo Topic or Clicksor. You can add to the list many more. On some topics in text advertising really works well and people click on those types of ads.

CPA offers are another thing to be tested with your traffic. Sometimes, you can’t imagine how well it can work. Finally, if you have a good amount of traffic, you could sell backlinks for a monthly price to those with related web sites. It could be really profitable.

As you see, there are lots of ways to monetize your blog, you can find much more if you do a little research on the subject. Of course, I am not telling you to fill your website with ads and banners and annoy your visitors. You should test each method slowly and make small changes on your site in order not to piss your visitors of. I mean do not put ten ad blocks on a single page or have both adsense, Amazon, Clickbank, CPA and in text links on your homepage. This will not work and you will start losing visitors even if they are paid ones.

Just test two methods at a time and see if it works. If it works well, try adding a third method. If it doesn’t, step to the next method and continue testing.

By diversifying your monetization, you will be not relying on a single source of income and this is what we prefer, since a wise marketer never puts all his eggs into one basket.

Farewell.

My First CPA Money Ever, Comes From MaxBounty

Nail — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 12:09:38 +0000

I am glad to announce that two days ago I made my first CPA money ever. And in the following two days it continued to build up. Although the amount is not something that will shock you, what is important here is I found something that works after long trials and errors, and better than that, it is scalable and I am working on it now. I wanted to share my story here with you, I hope some of you will benefit from it.

Just before starting, let me mention that I am a member of MaxBounty and I don’t have an account on other networks yet. I had been reading lots of ebooks and forum posts for months though I hadn’t done exactly what they suggested. I tried promoting some of the CPA offers in a poor way.

I had started with a Blogger blog about internet tips, a general one and put some general CPA offers on it. Although I got some clicks, I had never made any leads from that blog. I was doing something wrong and I didn’t know what. All I was expecting was some magical things will happen and people will click on my links and sign up to offers.

All I saw whenever I checked my account was a big “0″. Then I changed my approach and the picture changed a bit.

So, what did I do to change the “0″ into “$11.19″ in three days?

I was full of ideas but I had no experience and taken no real action yet. So, I decided to focus on one single idea and follow it until it works. I don’t remember from where or from who I heard that idea, but it is not mine. Anyway, I want to thank them for sharing this idea. I want to work on this a bit so that I can trust that it will work for a long time, after that I will post here what did I do in detail.

See you by then and do not forget that, it is not about the method, it is about sticking to it and applying it until it works.
