Almost the number one question that gets asked is How to get a CPA Account.

Getting started in CPA marketing is not something that comes absolutely naturally to everyone doing it. One of the most important things is to be informed before you take any decisions that could have lasting implications. Probably the most important consideration is to decide which networks you want to join. Some are easier to apply to than others which is why this is such an important consideration. You may well need to go through a short phone interview before your application will be approved, so you’ll want to be well informed.

If you are well informed before beginning the process, you will be ready for the questions that come your way in any phone interview. For example you will be asked if you have a website. This is not such a bizarre question as it may sound – you don’t need to have one, but it will make it a lot easier to get approved for a CPA account. It will also make it much easier to control how your ads are placed and viewed, so it is worth getting a website if you don’t already have one.

A later post will have an overview of some of the most popular different CPA Accounts so do feel free to subscribe to our rss feed and follow us on Twitter to be kept up to date on how to get a CPA account.

Immediate Action to take for your CPA Account

Your best bet is to sign up for at least three different networks to take the fullest advantage possible of the offers which are available. Which networks these are only you can really decide. The best bet is often to sign up to a couple of internet marketing forums and put your case across – what your niche is, your background and why you are looking to get into CPA. Most, people will be happy to help and offer advice on where to apply – and how to get your own CPA Account.

I am just beginning to make inroads into the world of Cost Per Action or CPA Marketing and so have decided to start writing a series all about Cost Per Action. I hope you will find it useful.

CPA is one of the most popular new ways to buy online advertising. The name CPA is an abbreviation of Cost Per Action, and the system is popular because it works equally well on both sides of the deal. For the publisher, there is the benefit of being able to take only the advertisements they wish to publish and place them on their site, while for the advertiser there is the knowledge that they will not need to pay a cent in advertising costs for an ad that is not bringing money in.

Internet Marketing is still what might be considered a young industry. It could not be considered anything else, in reality, as we are still in the very early days of mass uptake of the Internet. As a result, there are differing opinions on which way is the best to follow. CPA has made a particularly big wave in the market because people who have bought into various other ways of advertisement placing have occasionally been underwhelmed by the results of their marketing campaigns. Paying out top dollar for placing ads that fail to bring through customers is a costly mistake, one you cannot afford to make.

In order to make sure your CPA strategy is sound, it is worth reading up on it. the mere fact that it is popular and considered to be largely successful should not be enough to convince you that it is the way to go. However, the effectiveness of the strategy when applied correctly is a sign that it could be here to stay.

SEOPressor is a new plug in from Daniel Tan, a succesful search engine optimisation specialist.

He developed this for his own use to make sure that his team were properly optimising wordpress posts and pages for the search engines.

What SEOPressor will do is allow you to enter the keyword you are optimising for and then it will properly highlight that keyword in the post by bolding it, underlining it and italicising the keyword.

You can then check your post score which is on a scale of 0-100. Anything above 50 means that your keyword has been well optimised for your keyword.

It costs $37 per blog or you can get a muli blog option for unlimited blogs at just $127.

To get SEOPressor you need to click on the link. It comes with my highest recommendation, if your posts are not ranking as high as they should in the search engines.

Below is a testimonial I recorded for SEOPressor and I will shortly record a video of me using SEOPressor.

Online business success isn’t for everyone, but there’s only one way to find out – and if you dare to embark on the journey you may well be successful beyond your wildest dreams.

There are many avoidable mistakes that are responsible for more people giving up before they give themselves a chance to succeed.

Not having your own blog is definitely one of the biggest mistakes when it comes to online marketing. As an internet marketer you should use as many methods as possible to reach out to your target market.

A blog allows you to build a relationship with your target audience, making your business stronger. There many ways to do this but when you start a blog, it gives you a unique opportunity to have a direct conversation with your prospects.

You can use your blog to post relevant informational posts related to your niche or just directly review the products you’re selling. The best part is, your prospects can leave back comments and you can respond back.

Interacting with your prospects this way will help you identify their needs and will build their trust in you. It’s also a good way to get feedback from them so that you can take the right steps in their favor.

In addition to building a relationship with your audience, your blog can be used to increase the search rank of your chosen keywords because search engines love them.

Google seems to give high priority to blogs built with WordPress, netting you a higher rank. If one of your blog posts goes viral, you will start to see traffic from all corners of the web.

Your USP, or unique selling point/proposition, can make a huge difference in your business. Your strong USP is an element that can be used, or leveraged, to your greatest advantage if you do it right.

In the sea of businesses in your market, you really want to avoid looking just like everyone else. Distinguishing yourself from your competitors is something that can always work to your advantage. All things take some time and this area is no different, but if you persevere then you should see good results.

The world of IM has a tendency to change often, so you need to be able to respond to these changes, too. If you just depend on the old methods of marketing, you won’t be able to get great results. Of course there’s also nothing wrong with trying something totally new.

Some people actually fall for the terrible lie that you can become wealthy almost over night with IM. It is definitely possible to get to the point where you’re making hundreds or thousands a day online, but it will take many things to get there like hard work, learning, time, and patience.

So just try to be real and understand that there are extremely few and rare instances of instant hits and profits online. It’s all about how much effort and time you put into it. So don’t worry about how fast, just put one foot in front of the other each day, and before you know it you’ll have accomplished something.

As you see, there are many things that contribute to success with IM, and some are vision, planning, and mindset. Just remember the above mistakes and avoid them when you can.

Would love to hear your thoughts on the above. Please add your comments and feedback below.

I don’t know about you but I positively hate writing articles. Indeed for a long time I didn’t write any, despite the fact that everyone and their dog tells you how important Article Marketing is for any aspiring Internet Marketer.

I found the solution last week and it is called Instant Article Factory, by Jonathan Leger.

Prior to IAF every article I wrote was a real struggle. Ages spent researching the best information, and then figuring out how to make it flow.

Instant Article Factory is a new product following on from Jonathan’s very succesful Best Spinner . I was somewhat sceptical of it at first and chewed over whether or not I really wanted to spend more money on something designed to help me create articles fast.

In the end I finally decided to fork over my hard earned cash, which I am sure many of us find surprisingly hard to do. It has to be said that I am exceptionally glad that I did and I have already in the last hour of using it churned out five articles!

Watch the video below to see it in action and if as I suspect you are as impressed by it as I am then head right on over to Instant Article Factory to buy. Please note after Friday 16th July the introductory pricing will end and it will go up from $47 to $84.

If you want to find out more about The Best Spinner which I reviewed in this video feel free to click the link.

I hope you try it out and I would love to hear your thoughts on Instant Article Factory in the comments below.

Time Management is I suspect an issue that effects many of us.  I recently came across a rather cool technique that is completely free.

The Pomodoro Technique is a method designed by an Italian University student, Francisco Cirillo, back in 1992 around his old Pomodoro (Tomato) shaped kitchen timer.  He breaks down his work day into 25 minute slots, which he calls a Pomodoro.  Every Pomodoro is timed in his case he uses a kitchen timer but I use something called The Action Machine that I picked up some time ago.  I am a bit of a software geek so I find this pretty useful, but don’t worry a kitchen timer will do just as well and save you a little money!

Every Pomodoro Francisco suggests a 5 minute break and then every 4 Pomodoros you should take a longer break!

My productivity has been boosted dramatically using the Pomodoro technique.  You can download the book and read more about The Pomodoro Techinque at http://www.pomodorotechnique.com.  It has been downloaded over 30,000 times and is used around the world. This is a completely free download and requires no optin.

Would love to hear your thoughts on The Pomodoro Technique, especially if you start to use it!

To see The Action Machine in action so to speak you can watch this video:

I would love to hear your Productivity Techniques so please comment below with any thoughts you may have!

One of the things that fascinates me about Internet Marketing is the wide array of Product Launches that take place on a regular basis.  A case in point is Jeff Walkers Product Launch Formula which everone and their dog seems to have been promoting.  Now I have no doubt that it was an excellent course but is it really worth $2,000. I suppose it probably is if you are at the stage of your internet marketing career where $2,000 is a small amount of money.  For me I think I would rather spend that money on traffic and product development.

None the less there is obviously good money to be made by promoting these launches, and as Product Launch Formula tells us there is very much a system for doing a launch well….. The problem is for me at least is that the majority of them just look like spam, and frankly many are I believe regurgitated rubbish.

None the less I have attempted to make money with Product Launches and have put together about five individual websites for different products. One did very well, and the rest were not hugely exciting.

I don’t really want to mention names of products but the one that did best is something I use every day and was able to review it wih an objective viewpoint as a regular user.

The rest were frankly disappointing. The mistakes I invariably made were not to research the product properly before putting together a website, or to promote a product with a product review site which was not well promoted and so did not get a large number of searches so even though my site ranked highly for the keywords it didnt actually make any money as no one was promoting it!

My belief is that to be succesful at promoting product launches you either need to have a large list that believes in you, or you need to be promoting a product that is being heavily promoted by others.

Below are my key rules for doing well with a Product Launch:

1. Make Sure it is a Product You Believe in
2. Ideally Buy a Domain related to the Product at least 3 months before
3. If you don’t have a list make sure that the Product is being promoted by lots of people.
4. Don’t promote it positively if you don’t believe in it as this will damage your credibility
5. Get people signed up to your mailing list.

Interestingly one of the courses I did promote that did really badly was also the course that I used to learn how to rank well for a product launch review site.

This was Gunshot Money by Mark Dulisse who is an internet marketer I rate pretty highly. I am not sure why it did so badly as I thought it was a good course. I think part of the problem was that it wasnt brilliantly well promoted and there was at least one review site on the first page that gave it a pretty negative review.  I think he is still selling it and I am pretty sure it costs $77.  Its being sold on clickbank so you get a 60 day money back guarantee.  If this is an avenue you want to go down then you might consider buying it.  I made well over $1,000 using the techniques he taught.  None the less I am no longer actively promoting product launches.

Anyway I would be interested to hear whether you have had success in product launch promotion.

So I have been doing affiliate marketing for the past six months or so and it has been an interesting ride.

Some things have gone well and others have frankly been disastrous.

One of the methods I have been working on is promoting product launches for whch I have had varying degrees of success.

I have to date actively promoted five, of which only one went well.

For what it is worth I thought I would highlight some of my successes and failures.

If you get it right Product Launches can be a lucrative money earner. However it is easy to make mistakes, especially if you do not have a large list. I will in my next blog post highlight my rules for doing well in a Product Launch.

For this post I will just say that in my opinion the most important aspect of Product Launches is to make sure that you believe in the Product you are promoting. Ideally you actually need to get a preview of the product or alternatively you need to know the marketer presenting it really well.
I would love to hear your thoughts and any comments you may have on the subject.

Welcome to this review of SerpAssist. It completely blew me away when I discovered it. Read on to get $20 off each month.

Is Serpassist the future?

Have you tried building backlinks to your websites? If you have you know how frustrating and time consuming it can be.

Example of the kind of Linking you can create with SerpAssist simply and Easily.

The way it differs and that I think makes it a real killer solution is that you get a visual layout of how your linking works which you can design as you see fit.

SerpAssist Advantages

In addition all the work takes place away from your computer so with SerpAssist there are none of the problems with SE Nuke and Bruteforce where it takes up your resources, furthermore if something changes with the way accounts need to be created the Software designer is able to make changes instantaneously so all of your account creation activity actually works! An additional advantage is that if a link is deleted for whatever reason the software will realise and go and create a new link so your linking structure doesnt get damaged.

SerpAssist Bonus

You don’t really need a bonus as this software is so powerful however I am launching a new website http://webinarstraining.com which will have various webinars offering training on various subjects. If you buy SerpAssist through my link I will give you complimentary membership of this site.

Video of SerpAssist at work

This video shows SerpAssist at work. You can buy Serpassist by clicking on the link. It currently costs $97 but if you use that link you can take advantage of a $20 discount for the life of your subscription so you will save $240 per annum. There is a 7 day trial for $7 and I cannot recommend it highly enough.

This is a classic video on Outsourcing which made me chuckle. Some truth to it however especially within the IM World were so many of us outsource some of the work to lower labour countries.

Personally we use the Phillippines which has an exceptionally well trained workforce who tend to be loyal and hard working.
