I noticed that your comment is geared towards trying to sell zero friction marketing and you’re directing readers to your 1-page thin affiliate site.

Have you thought about providing some useful content instead?

I’d suggest marketers go try it out for themselves vs spending $77 or even $47 right off the bat.

You are correct the CPA is most popular online marketing methods but is extremely difficult for the

beginners I recommend to read some Free eBook about it, or to ask someone that have Success in hes

CPA campaigns, the last alternative is becoming member ‘CPA Success’ like my self but the cost is

big $77 I recommend it, only if you are looking for fast money making system and can spend $77

I have been in the off-line retail business for over 30 years, I have seen the downtown department stores all but disappear. I have personally seen and experienced the decline of the shopping malls.

I totaly agree. You haveto put in the work to pull out the profits. But I have found that helping other geting started and providing people with usefull informations can not only benefit them but allso comes back to you.

Interesting. It seems that you’re talking to me cuz I’m doing bunch of the useless things in the past and doing it again right now (as of writing this comment, I’m watching/listening to Tim Schmidt’s Tribal Formula video). Maybe I don’t really have to read anymore.

What I have to do right now is to attack with full force all those niches that I’ve found so far, and already attacked, but doing it halfheartedly.

One of the most troubling things about marketing on the internet is these programs and ebooks promise people the world without having to do any work. And it’s just not so.

Maybe you can catch lightning in a bottle but the real trick is catching it again and again.

CPA marketing is one of many, many aspects you can attempt to use to drive traffic. I’ve failed at it only to learn what I’ve done wrong so that I was better as it the next time.

And it’s that way with anything. Making mistakes isn’t bad. It’s almost necessary to improve.

Anyone who is successful has made mistakes only to refine their skill, product, or service. In the sports world, it’s called practice. And that’s all mistakes are, practice.

Whether you’re using CPA marketing, article marketing, or anything else you decide you want to use, know that it will take some time to get it right.

I totally agree. I’m new to this business. I’m two weeks in and I see a mountain of money to be made. For someone to say its “shriveled up” just means there used to doing no work for massive profit margin’s.

All I’ve gotta say is:

Work is work. Nose to the grindstone til 5.. Swag on til dawn. Rinse and repeat.

if ya want some then get some

There’s always opportunity around the next corner in terms of offers to promote and niches to break in to. I think most affiliates could happily point to five or six offers that they’d like to run if they could find the time, will, or whatever to actually put the work in.

If there’s anything that’s ushering forward the death of CPA marketing, it’s affiliates wrecklessly exploiting the system. Deceitful content, a disregard for compliance and a lot of bad press – these are what will hurt us the most. The industry is expanding so fast with such a low entry level that Google, Yahoo, MSN, Facebook…and just about any other traffic source…they’re all going to need to tighten their rulebooks to stamp out reckless affiliates.

I don’t think we should be worried about niches running out – rather the viable traffic sources to promote them.

Good post. The ship has definitely NOT sailed, but it takes some work. An affiliate of mine asked me what to do to take his earnings to the next level, so I laid out a method for him to promote a simple website through SEO. His response? “That sounds like work.” He still isn’t making any money.
