Hey John, Christina here and we're going to be going over the five golden rules of affiliate and CPA marketing in this video. Now I've made over 10 million dollars doing it. First golden rule is cash flow first. Now what do I mean by cash flow first? Well, I mean that you shouldn't ever leverage yourself more than you can afford when you're starting to do affiliate or CPA marketing. Now what I mean by that is if you have no money, don't be spending money on ads to make commissions of products. If you don't have any money on ads, there are a lot of free traffic methods out there which you can apply just by sending messages to folks on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, etc., LinkedIn. And I have a ton of free traffic videos where I talk about how you can get started in affiliate or CPA marketing without spending any money whatsoever. So check out those videos, I'll link them somewhere around here.
Now, if you do have a little bit of money to start, but let's say you have fifty dollars, let's say you have a hundred dollars, and you wanna get started in buying advertising and making commissions, then start with app installs. Start with mobile app installs, and you can find a lot of products that you can advertise and earn commissions off of app installs by looking at the top CPA networks, such as Affiliate MaxBounty, Ads4Dough. There's a lot of affiliate networks out there. I have an entire list of affiliate networks that you can check out. So make sure you just join as many affiliate networks as you can.
The third golden rule of affiliate marketing is just to copy winners, okay? Find affiliate campaigns, find top offers that work, find affiliates' ads for them and copy. This takes a bit of research. The first way to find top offers is to join a lot of affiliate networks and just look at each network's top offers, look at the top trending categories, etc. The second step is to find ads for them. Again, you can Google or search norm terms around that niche and look in Google, Bing Ads, look in Facebook Ads, look in all of these other areas where people advertise, look at display advertising, look in spy tools.
The fourth golden rule of marketing is to have a big picture of marketing in mind but to have laser-like focus on the niche, or the category, or the product, or the offer, or the traffic source that you are advertising on or you are using as a message platform to get information out there.
The fifth golden rule of marketing is split test continuously. Split test continuously. If you are using free traffic methods and you are sending 50 DMs or private messages per day to people on social media, split test your messaging because one message may work way better than another. In fact, I can guarantee that different messaging will perform differently. And if you continuously split test, you may find that some messaging works 10 times or even a hundred times better than other messages or ads you have put out.
