Now there are admittedly probably better uses of your time but you could actually earn some money doing this, or variations on it. With all the scenarios below, you would need to get approval from your affiliate network and possibly the merchant since all your Read more [...]

I started by asking a real estate agent I was working with at the time if she had ever purchased leads. She had several years experience purchasing Read more [...]

One of the things I get asked about a lot is setting frequency caps in PPV campaigns. This is one thing that’s kind of specific to PPV and different from PPC campaigns.

Ok no secrets really but now that I have your attention… I get a lot of questions about landing pages for PPV/CPV traffic. I hate telling people ‘just test’ but sometimes that’s the best approach. There are various types of pages that can work but the main idea is you want to keep things simple and grab the viewers attention. Think about how these people are being served ad’s; They are surfing along visiting websites, and up pop’s and advertisement. This isn’t something they were actively Read more [...]

Media buying has been a hot topic lately. It seems like everyone wants to get into media buys, even if they don’t know what that really means. I want to explain a little about media buying and show you how you can use PPV to get into some basic media buying. Media buying is not new. In fact, this is one of the older online marketing methods. Media buying is essentially buying banner ad space on websites. There is nothing magical about media buying…it’s probably not going to make you rich, it’s Read more [...]

It seems like a lot of affiliates (even a lot of experienced ones) are still looking for some secret, that one missing piece of the puzzle, that is going to skyrocket their income. I think the IM/Guru community is largely to blame for this. Would be affiliates see promises of easy money with little work and campaigns that produce $10k per day all if they could figure out just a few things about what that person is doing.
