Cris Cato - Affiliate Marketer

Everything you think you know about building an affiliate business is wrong. The tactics of the past few years just don’t work anymore. And if you don’t change your tactics, you cannot survive.

The big lie

You’ve been told it’s easy to get started as an affiliate. And it is – sort of. It is the easiest business you can possibly start. But starting your own business is really hard, so it’s all relative.

The bad news…

And to make matters worse, you’ve taught to do it the hard way. You’ve been told to find quality products. Next to pick your keywords carefully. Then buy some keyword ads that send traffic to the product. And just enjoy the commissions. But, it’s all wrong.

Keywords are dead

This method worked a couple years ago. But keywords are too expensive now. Adapt and change…

The NEW game

There’s still hope. Follow this method and win again…

• Start using CPA marketing
• Utilize demographics data
• Use image ads

Start using CPA marketing

CPA stands for Cost Per Action. It’s much better than promoting a product. Because you don’t have to get people to spend money. Your commission is generated when they complete an “action”. Entering their email into a form, for example. Which is much easier than getting them to buy something.

Utilize demographics data

Keywords are no longer relevant (you’ll see in a minute). Invest your research time into demographics. First, select the CPA offer you want to promote. Then go to a site like Quantcast.com. And find your target demographic.

Do image ad marketing

So far, you’ve got your CPA offer and your target demographics. You can advertise directly to them on display networks. Using image ads. And there was no keyword research required. The biggest advantage is price. Keyword ads are expensive, but image ads are still cheap.

In closing

This is powerful method to make money online. Because getting started in CPA is free. Image ads are cheap. You can use demographics to target your ideal prospect. And your commission is much easier to earn.
