Protected: $1,000 Profit per Week in 1 Month PPC to CPA Challenge (New Campaign) is a post from: Zalds

I really wanted to join this company as I heard lot of good news and successful stories of many affiliates running their offer. If there are many big players running their offers for sure there are bunch of gold to be dig in Azoogle.  I don't need to be the top affiliate, I just want to taste a small portion of what they are promoting.

So, after 30 mins of chat with my AM discussing offers, conversion etc..  I have one campaign running in Azoogle. That is from the campaign I'm running from other network. Basically I just change the destination URL so it will point to Azoogle. I generate affiliate link and setup the offer in my t202 then I sleep.

Morning comes, when I login to my Azoogle account this is what I see.

Sounds like a good 1st day running offer in Azoogle. The stats shows my first day earning in azoogle 10 hours after sending traffic to their offer. I'm planning to start new campaigns from them and I'm wishing that I'l have more good days like this.

Here's the sign up link if you are interested to apply in Azoogle (Click Here to Apply at Azoogle.)

That's all for now. Have a nice day to all!

Welcome to the Real Network – AzoogleAds is a post from: Zalds

This is actually my first CPA campaign using the paid search as a source of traffic. The offer is a lead generation campaign that lasted for about 1 1/2 months.

Using the idea that I learned from my unsuccessful Facebook Affiliate Marketing experience plus useful advise of online friends who are already doing well in this industry, I finally get my very first PPC to CPA campaign running.

Unlike facebook aff marketing wherein you can just grab your affiliate code, write your ad and target your demo, here in PPC via search, I need to come up with converting keywords, ad copy and landing combination for this offer to work.

Affiliate marketing tasks that I learned includes:

• Market research
• Niche research
• Keyword research
• Ad copy
• Landing page
• Tracking

I keep an eye on below figure and make them as high as possible by testing every possible variation/combination by optimizing my adcopy and landing page daily:

• Ad copy CTR
• Keyword Impression / CTR
• Keyword/Ad copy that result to conversion
• Landing page clickthrough to offer CTR

In the end I found out keywords that is giving a constant conversions. I then expand KW list from there and the rest is history.

Here is the result:

Earning:

• Hydra -  $ 3,306.60
• Neverblue -  $ 3,302.25

Ad Spend:

• Combined  -  $ 3,712.82

Net (ROI) :

• $6,608.85 - $3,712.82 = $ 2,896.03 ( 78% ROI)

I'm happy that I earn money on my first PPC to CPA campaign. Another good thing to mention is that, I use my adsense earning to fund my advertising thus, making my $ 3,712.82 adsense earning to $ 6,608.85!

Unfortunately the campaign didn't last long they stop me before I scale it. My AM told the advertiser don't like me.. So, instead of grieving I started a new campaign. I'l share the report on the my next post.

Lesson Learned:

• Don't just drive leads to offer, for a long term campaign, it is very important to consider also the quality of the traffic. Ad copy, Landing Page, Keywords plays a vital role for a quality traffic.
• Seek opportunity!. If you are already included in Google Adsense Payroll, or already receiving online income from Infolinks, Chitika, Kontera. Try PPC to CPA affiliate marketing, reinvest your earning. Just don't forget to consider the risk involve and invest what you can affort to lose.

First PPC to CPA Affiliate Marketing Campaign Result – $6,608.85 is a post from: Zalds

The first thing I did before I setup my affiliate campaign in FB is to search the net for free facebook coupon codes. After 30 minutes, I have found $250.00 worth of fund that I can use to promote my affiliate link in Facebook free. (I compiled the facebook ad voucher here)

Facebook has a tremendous traffic so I know that $250 credits will not last long.  However, this amount is enough to give me hands-on experience from running ads in Facebook without loosing money.

Since I have now a budget to spend in ads, I now choose 4 different campaigns that I believe will suit the taste of a typical facebook members, write down the offer url then check the demographics of visitors using the Quantcast.  The demographics that Quantcast gave me from the affiliate offer page is the one I used to target the demographics of Facebook users to whom I want my ads to be shown.

Creating ads in Facebook is fast and easy. Unlike Google Adwords, I don't need to build huge keyword list to start the campaign. There is no quality score to think about. I can start my CPA campaign without creating a landing page because FB allows direct linking to the merchants offer. The only thing that might delay the campaign is the ad approval process.  FB had a bunch of no-nos list so my advise is to read their content guidelines and common reason of rejections first to avoid disapproved ads.  They are very strict in accepting the ads.

The Result:

After running the ads for about three weeks, here is the summary of my affiliate marketing using the Facebook Ad System:

Campaign 1 & 2 are Cost per Sale campaign promoting renting service which will convert once the user signed up for free offer that requires credit card.

Campaign 3 is an ebook download from Clickbank. I spent $130.43 for 1 conversion that pays $32. The offer actually converts on the second day of running the campaign so I let it run for 5 days hoping that I will get more conversion. Sad to say, no conversion after the 1st sale. I have ad split testing on this offer as you can see in ad variation. Maybe this offer is not effective for FB user, but this might be hot for search engine and content traffic so I will not give up this offer. Will promote this to google search / content using PPC one more time.

Campaign 4 is simple email submit for free report. The best out of four campaign that I tried based on the number of conversion but still a loser mainly because of high CPC for US traffic. ( I will run this in google content for cheaper clicks. Let see if I can make this a profitable campaign )

Well, well, well.. the result is not impressive.  If I use real money I should have lost big money here, but since I'm using the free facebook code I ended up earning $35.75 dollar on the campaign.

How about you, have you had any good experiences with the Facebook Ad System? If you haven't tried Facebook Ad, why not give it a try and share it to us your experience.  Here is free facebook coupon code for you to start, create some ad and share us how much money you have made or the experience you have learned in FB ad system?

Affiliate Marketing using Facebook Advertisement Platform is a post from: Zalds

Okay, back from the main topic. I just want to share you the update of my affiliate experience for the Month of November.  As you are already aware, November 8 is when I first received my first sale in this money making opportunity.  I made $296.11 on that day and I'm really really happy on that experience.  After that day what happened next?

Alrighty, here is the quick stats of the November 2008 Affiliate earning.  This is from a not so aggressive, free marketing campaign of the product I chose from Clickbank and one free offer product from NeverBlue Ads.

November 2008 Affiliate Earning Summary (November 1 - 30 less refund / debits)

To sum it up:

Clickbank:  $1182.86

NeverBlue: $ 7.70

Total = $1,190.56

There you go, $1,190.56 profit because I didn't spend a dime in advertising.   What I did? I just choose a product to promote in clickbank, create some lens and short post and promote it via social bookmarking. I use socialposter & socialmarker to simplify this task.  For the neverblue, I just pick a campaign closes to my blog niche and lazily put their banner in my site.

Lessons Learned:

1. On that exercise I learned that in choosing a product, you have to research to the products refund rate as well not just the commission and gravity of the product.  For the clickbank product that I promote for instance,  If there is no refund I should have earned $1487.96 That is $305.1 refund which could have big impact specially if I use pay-per-click advertising or media buy.
2. Cant go further if the affilliate marketing method I will use is only by placing the banner in site.  Thats is what happened with my neverblue earning, you can check the quick stats below.  Out of 151,157 impression I only got 3 conversions amounting to whooping $7.70  Need to be a little more aggressive, maybe by using the PPC marketing.
3. Ten targeted traffic is better than tenthousand untargeted traffic. Observation #2 says it all.  Now, the next job is to find out how and where to get that highly targeted traffic for the product I like to promote.

So, I think thats it.  Now I have some idea what I will do for the coming days.  I'm planning to try out PPC to get massive and targeted traffic.  With Ivan on my side I know I can do this.   I'm going to choose a CPA offer in NeverBlue.  Aside from that I'm going to create a non-seasonal campaign from Clickbank so earning and traffic will be consistent 24/7/365

November 2008 Affiliate Earning Summary & How I did it is a post from: Zalds

I just wrote a quick post, put a blantant call to action on it like "Click Here if you want to learn more about this product..." then hit publish button.  I am not going to go in detail how I did it coz I treat this marketing strategy as experimental.  Over all the time it takes to complete the whole marketing process is around 30 minutes.

I didn't create a landing page, I didn't use PPC... earning came from free traffic source..

Fast forward - -  after 8 hours, this is my clickbank stats commission.  I have made 9 sales (1 sale from November 8 and 8 sales November 9) that gives a total commission of $296.11

Its really surprising! what amazed me is that, this earning took me only 30 minutes to prepare...

I know this is  a good sign... whether I got the commission because of pure luck it doesn't matter.  The important is there is some gold that could be uncovered in that niche and its now my job to do more research, studies and marketing activities in accordance to the proven method of affiliate marketing.
