"PPC + CPA = GOLD!!! GET IN NOW!!!"

so just a little something funny I noticed today while checking out forums on marketing. Still a lot of people doing article marketing...and marketers are all seeming to be pushing affiliate marketing down marketers throats these days from all the emails I get. It's PPC this, and CPA that.

From where I'm at, I can see the power of the true marketers using the "people are lazy" side of things to push buttons. The promise of "no products", "no list", etc.

I'm not falling for it...

I do see the potential for CPA, but I'll be using CPA within another business model that I thought of yesterday.

I was starting to think of making seperate pages for CPA campaigns and Clickbank campaigns, and then I realized that this wasn't really the best use of my money. The best use of my money as an affiliate marketer, would be through autoresponders and building a list. So I'll merge my strategies into centering my business around an autoresponder method. As far as affiliate marketing goes. Who knows...maybe I'll come up with products in those niches as well.

I'm going to be developing a sort of template way of doing things, for certain types of promotions. Like, I'll be doing something different to promote clickbank products, compared to promoting e-stores with several hundreds of items. or even CPA offers. I want a strategy for all of those, so it makes it pretty much a plug and play operation. Then all I'll need is content, and a way to produce it. I assume I'll be the one writing at first, but after a set milestone, I'll outsource the writing so I can become the publisher only.

Anyway, back to my original point, almost every afiliate marketer is still doing either article marketing ( if they're doing free marketing ) or PPC ( if doing paid...and mostly using google I assume...). I'm pretty sure the ones who have the most success are the ones who stay away from the hurd. So that's what I'm doing...The methods I'm looking to use offer the best possibility of expansion and aren't limited to PPC as far as paid marketing goes.

Anyway, lunch time, and I'm starving!
