Digital Products Review

Posts Tagged ‘Affiliate Programs’

CPA is cost per action. If that action is buying a product, then we have to get our potential customers to open their pocketbook. In today’s economic times, this is getting harder and harder. And the competition is fighting for the same customers you are.

When CPA is used, sometimes it is referring to pay per lead programs. No taking out the credit card. Not even getting a free trial that is billed monthly in 30 days, although some can be. Just get the lead and get paid.

You may be a blogger. That may be where you start. You may be a PPC affiliate marketer. That could be a starting place. You may not want to get your hand dirty with all the technical details. That’s great also, if you have a staff or a budget for hiring other people. But I would say that most of the readers of this blog do not.

Data. What is data? Anything on the internet for the most part. As soon as you post an article to your blog, it becomes data. I know. I know. You wrote it. It’s the result of your work. But once it hits the internet, it becomes data. What else is data? The Clickbank marketplace XML. Affiliate datafeeds. Your bookmarks. The list goes on.

Affiliate marketing can be a pain in the ass to learn sometimes. It’s not hard but it is work. But I am not talking about that part.

The problem is with the options. There are just too many. If you look at the post I wrote just the other day, you will see why. I listed over a hundred ways to promote your blog. Do they all work? Yes. To some extent. But when you are faced with a list like that, at least when I am, I freeze. Too many options gives you no clear place to start. And I promise, that list is only a start. I have used some of the methods and know what has worked for me. And some of the methods are based on your blog as a whole while others focus on posts. And some methods are good to use when you start a blog and others will only work after your blog has at least a little bit of a presence online.

I signed up for the beta test of AffSpy a while back and I have to admit that I haven’t used it as much as I should. For the most part though, I have stuck with Clickbank affiliate products, with a few Commission Junction products and inhouse affiliate programs thrown in.

But I am signed up for a lot of affiliate programs and not using AffSpy as often as I should may not have been a good choice for one reason.
