Affiliate Marketing Strategies #27 – Flipping Websites And #28 – Become a CPA Affiliate

Flipping Websites

Domain flipping is similar to what’s done in the real estate market. You buy a “fixer-upper” website, make improvements on it, and then sell it for a premium price.

In theory it sounds easy.  But you need a good eye for sites that don’t live up to their profit potential.          Look for sites that get traffic or rank high for a keyword phrase. But also try to spot one MAJOR flaw that’s preventing this site from really making money.

You don’t necessarily have to sell the website. What you can do is fix-up this website and turn it into another source of affiliate income.

The best way to get started is to check out the “Buy, Sell, or Trade” section of the Digital Point Forum.  Here you’ll see a bunch of listings and how much it costs to sell a specific domain. Also, Flippa is another good resource for buying and selling domains.

Plus if you’re already in a niche, check out the search engine listings for specific keywords. Probably you’ll find a bunch of sites that haven’t been touched in months – Even years.  Contact the owner and make an offer.  You’d be surprised at some of the valuable properties you can purchase for a few hundred dollars.

Become a CPA Affiliate

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.
