Although I’m very new here, I’m not new with marketing and promotion. In the past 5 years I’ve been brokering campaigns so some of the largest companies in the US: Cydoor (Kazza), Gator, Hotbar etx’. That market is completely different. Sure if you have $500,000/badget it can help …J
Yet, there is certainly a place for the affiliate programs market. Since I’m a lazy person, I will jump directly to the tip’s section:
1. Having a website is a must – this is why I got involved again with affiliate programs. It is better to have sites that can grow in time such as Forums, download sites, Blog platform, etc’ simply because that at a certain point, you have many potential leads without you having the need to buy advertising. You can have a look at both of my sites to see what I mean. I have them only short amount of time buy they are growing steadily.
2. Traffic exchange – don’t pay a cent. The quality is very low and if you do want to send some visitors, surf…
3. Paid advertising – the best way is using PPC (search engine) traffic. If you know what you are doing you can get real value for your money. You can test few different ads and see whats working. Fro the dollar you are getting from referral, you can use it to buy 20 targeted users at $0.05. You can pay less but it will take longer. Of course as I said, I’m lazy and only tomorrow I’ll set up one campaign there…J
I’d be happy to answer any question you may have.
Have a nice day, Yaron
