Affiliate Marketing Strategies #28 – Become a CPA Affiliate And #29– Find Out What People Want

CPA (Cost-Per-Action) is a great affiliate technique that has the potential to become really profitable. Instead of trying to get people to buy a product, you refer “leads” to an existing marketing funnel. You make money for every referral that you make Sometimes as high as a $20.

There is a bit of a science to CPA marketing.  For the most part, you’ll promote mass market offers like dating, making money, real estate, and losing weight. These markets are usually full of experienced affiliates who know what they’re doing. So do careful research before jumping in.

One trick I’ve seen people use is to build up a Facebook fan page around a specific trending topic. Like Justin Beiber’s new haircut. Get people to “like” this page. And then send these followers the occasional CPA offer.

AZoogle Ads is one of the better sites for CPA offers.  Again, I recommend you learn everything you can about this technique before getting started

Okay, we’ve covered niche affiliate sites.

Now let’s talk about the importance of creating an authority affiliate site…

My best success with affiliate marketing happened when I started building authority sites.

Don’t believe me?

Starting in 2006, I focused on a single niche; ignoring all the other “opportunities.”

It wasn’t easy. But this dedication has led to a full-time income.

Only after four years, did I move into a second niche (my Steve Scott blog.)

I plan on staying here for the long haul because I’m a firm believer in the power of focus.

Simply put: One Niche = Full-time Income

Or as I like to say it: “One Niche to Rule Them All”

When you’re in a single niche it’s simpler to maximize the money you generate. For instance, you’ll get to:
Learn the language and buzz words that prospects use
Find out what really goes on in the mind of the customer
Identify information gaps
Reuse and recycle previously published content


Spot new products that can generate additional income
Network with key figures in a market to expand your reach
Build a loyal group of followers who will listen to anything you say

This is just the tip the iceberg. The possibilities are limitless when you give 100% attention to a niche. It’s easy to make money when you’re completely immersed in one subject.

So let’s talk about authority sites and how they can be used to increase your affiliate income…

29– Find Out What People Want

You might think this one is obvious. But a great way to make more money with affiliate marketing is to find out what people want. To do this, I recommend setting up a simple poll and ask your followers a few simple questions.

Get started by analyzing the posts, articles, and emails that get the best response. See which questions come up the most. Then use this information to survey the needs of your audience.

You can use tools like the WP-Polls Plugin or Survey Monkey to set up a simple poll. Just start by asking things like:

      “What is your biggest obstacle with       ?
      “What is the one skill you’d like to master?”
      “What is the one product that has helped you the most?”

You’d be surprised at how a few simple questions helps you find the perfect affiliate product to promote. People will go out of their way to tell you what they want. All you have to do is ask!
