Nothing Held Back - The Blog That Reveals How to Make BIG Money on the Internet

Offer selection really isn’t that complicated unless you decide to make it that way, which sadly most do.The following article was written by Rob over at Dominate IM (click the link to the right) who has graciously allowed me to share this with you. This is part 1 of 2… I hope you enjoy this. — As I discussed in URL Rotator = Cash, there is no need to spend endless hours sweating over what offer to run, you can simply rotate dozens of similar offers to the traffic you buy, or already have coming in.

 Even with a handy tool like a rotator, you really need a foundation to build upon, and that’s why, when I began my CPA career I decided to be incredibly stubborn when it came to making an offer work. When dealing with an affiliate network (a good one, like Azoogle or Hydra), half your work is already done for you. One phone call, email, or even instant message to your affiliate manager will reveal to you what the top converting offers on the network are at the moment. The mindset needed when it comes to this game is not unlike how Tom Brady views football: If someone else can do it, I can do it better, simply because I refuse not to do it better, and I’m willing to make it my life in order to get there.

If other affiliates are pulling in cash on an offer, then there is absolutely no reason that I cannot figure out how to do the same, and that is exactly the state of mind that you need to adopt if you plan to be successful. What I’d like you to do tomorrow (or today if you are reading this during business hours) is call your affiliate manager at the top affiliate network you have an account with and ask them to recommend an offer that is converting like crazy, and preferably accepts all traffic sources (contextual, search, banner, email).

When starting out, it’s really best to choose an offer that accepts all traffic sources so that you can try multiple promotion methods without having the added burden of getting sneaky. Whatever this offer is, I want you to commit to promoting it until you turn it profitable, and I want you to commit to not promoting any other offers unless they are already profitable for you and require no additional time or thought. If you really want to learn CPA marketing, this, im my opinion is best way to do it for many reasons.
