Affiliate Marketing Revised
Everything you think you know about building an affiliate business is wrong. The tactics of the past few years just don’t work anymore. If you play by the old rules, you will lose this game.
The big lie
You’ve probably heard how easy it is to start an affiliate business. Well, that’s true . . . to a point There’s no doubt it’s easier than starting your own business. But that doesn’t mean it’s easy.
The bad news…
And to make matters worse, you’ve taught to do it the hard way. The first thing you’re taught is to pick some great products. Next to pick your keywords carefully. Then to use these keywords to buy ads promoting the product. And sit back and collect the profits. But, it’s all wrong.
Forget keywords
This method worked a couple years ago. But it’s just too competitive to use keywords now. Adapt and change…
The NEW game
There is a light at the end of the tunnel. Here’s how to win at this game.
- Start using CPA marketing
- Instead of researching keywords, research demographics
- Market on display networks
Get into CPA marketing
CPA means Cost Per Action. It’s so much easier than promoting products. Because your visitor doesn’t have to buy anything. You earn a commission for having them perform an “action”. Such as filling in a form. And it’s much easier to get them to do that.
Utilize demographics data
Keywords are no longer relevant (you’ll see in a minute). Invest your research time into demographics. First you select your CPA offer. Next, you go to Quantcast.com. And research what kinds of people will be interested.
Market on display networks
So you know what your promoting and you know who will be interested. You can target these exact demographics on display networks. And let images do the work. And there was no keyword research required. Plus you’re going to save a ton of money. Image ad clicks are much cheaper.
Summary
This is powerful method to make money online. Because getting started in CPA is free. You can buy image ad clicks for a fraction of keyword ad clicks. You can use demographics to target your ideal prospect. And you get paid for having them take a simple action.

I have just bought RCTPA Forex Megadroid. It is new so no one can tell for sure whether it is the big deal that it seems to be. All I can tell you is that I bought it 2 weeks ago and that I like it. It is very simple to use (plug and play). In a few minutes I had installed it and got started (on a demo account of course). My demo account has more than doubled (+249% to be precise). I intend to keep practicing for a while before going live because I know I have to get familiar with all the settings and the system but so far so good.
