CPA Beginner

[Benzh]

Hello ladies & gents, I'm Ben. 21 year old from the UK who is keen to jump into the CPA world and start making some extra cash. I'm a complete beginner when it comes to this but I'm hardworking and willing to put in the effort & time that is required to get it done.

Have been reading through various threads on several forums and it seems blackhat niches are for a quick turn around, whitehat for long term. I generally don't like the idea of essentially "scamming" the user by offering them some sort of false file/program so I have chosen to go down the WH route.

I need to look into niche research, I currently have no idea how to find WH niches but it's my day off today so hopefully by the end of the day ill have a site setup with at least one niche. Going to focus on SEO. Once again I have no experience but I'm willing to give it ago. First few months will be primarily just to learn, if I make some cash then great if not I will have learn't a shit load which will eventually help me to earn.

I will make money, it's just a matter of time.

Look forward to getting to know some of you
Ben

Hello ladies & gents

Hi @Benzh , thanks for joining us. Welcome to the AffiliateFix!

You are in the right place. We have an abundance of Newbies earning as the result of our membership. All you have to do is be active in the community, post often, ask loads of questions, follow instructions, report your progress, and be ultra committed to your success.

Have been reading through various threads on several forums and it seems blackhat niches are for a quick turn around, whitehat for long term. I generally don't like the idea of essentially "scamming" the user by offering them some sort of false file/program so I have chosen to go down the WH route.

Yeah, BH is something many of us have messed with and many of us earned some money in years past, but the landscape of marketing is quickly changing and many of us have found that the White Hat and the marginally Gray Hat methods, techniques, strategies, and tactics are all that anyone needs to get business done well and stay in the safe zone so as not to be getting banned by traffic sources and networks that will ban you in a heart beat.

I need to look into niche research, I currently have no idea how to find WH niches but it's my day off today so hopefully by the end of the day ill have a site setup with at least one niche. Going to focus on SEO. Once again I have no experience but I'm willing to give it ago.

Niche research is an art in itself.

I will make money, it's just a matter of time.

This is the attitude that will bring you to our successes.

Look forward to getting to know some of you

We all look forward to seeing you around the community as well!

Perseverance, dedication, and taking action are the cornerstones of the success you will obtain.

As a Newbie, you need to read, study, invest, and implement.

Read
Read through the various areas of the forum to learn about the types of marketing available for your new business. Make a list of all the types of marketing and take some notes along the way. Then determine which area of marketing with which you will start your journey.

Do this to select an area of marketing to start, as well, do this to select a tracker, a traffic source, and to select a vertical.

Then read up on the affiliate networks and select two to begin with that will serve your needs and the types of offers you would like to promote. Put your application in and they will call you for an interview. Be professional and be prepared to answer some questions about how you will promote offers, do you have a website, are you a Newbie, etc. Please note, if you join the Dojo, we have a thread there that can offer assistance in getting accepted to some of the networks.

Study
Now that you have selected a basis to begin, read all of the threads in this forum that relate to your initial selections so that you have a rudimentary understanding of their features and benefits.

Invest
You will require some investment. A VPS server, domains, traffic, landing pages, etc. You will need a budget for daily, weekly, and monthly expenses. This will change over time and you will need to update it often so that you know exactly what your costs and earnings are.

Implement
This is where it all starts to earn. You must now begin to implement what you have established as your foundation for your business.

Here is some advice and guidance that will help you establish your initial goals:

Make sure you complete the following first.

Every business needs:

1. a plan
2. a schedule for research, learning, and execution
3. a budget.

Remember to read through our WIKI and get to know the basics as well as some of the buzz words in the industry.

I also recommend reading the following thread:

As a Newbie, What Stops You From Getting Started

Here is a set of immediate goals:

1. Get a VPS
2. Select a vertical
3. Select a tracker
4. Select a couple of networks and get your approval
5. Select a traffic source
6. Create a schedule for researching, learning (training), and working. This is a business, treat it as such!
7. Create a budget for every expense (daily, weekly, monthly)
8. Be very active in this forum by researching, asking questions, helping others when you are able.

As well, I highly recommend you join the DOJO as it is full of great tools and contributions for successful marketers. Click the banner below to learn more.

@tjtuor That's one hell of a welcome post! Got my first WH niche, only a few thousand monthly searches but it will do while I learn the basics + I'll be constantly adding new ones, they will all add up in the end.
