Early, today I had the opportunity to get 2 other people that relies on PPV traffic for their business. We got on a phone call and discuss the circumstances of the traffic, the good, and the bad. We just had an overall discussion about PPV traffic and its uses on the internet.

I got Cashtactics, Kris Trujillo and Stephon Rudd. These guys base their business on strictly PPV and use it to their advantages. Kris came out with the popular product Mass PPV Traffic and Stephon Rudd who also has his own product called Dark Side of PPV, are the ones on the podcast tonight.

If you do not know what CPS is, it means Cost Per Sale. Being paid on a percentage commission base. Similar to the Amazon affiliate program but higher than the 4%. What I have seen with other CPS networks, the payouts start at around 7%-10%. The only problem is the brand recognition of the merchants vs Amazon or other big online retailers.

For 2010… I want to have a continuous stream instead of running into problems like I did in the past month with CPA. I am not leaving CPA at all, it is just too easy to make money from CPA offers… this will just be a side project more so and hopefully something even bigger.

I use Clicktale. Clicktale allows you to see every mouse movement and every click in action. It is just like having a Hulu vision of your traffic. Watching your traffic and how they react to multiple aspects of your website or landing page. It is like being on the other side of a double sided mirror and just watching your traffic do what they do naturally.

The best part is you get to analyze the traffic in real time and see how they react. What are they reacting to, why are they rapidly leaving, why are they on the page so long, etc.

Affiliate Summit is such a powerful conference because you gain so much knowledge from so many people, big or small. Their ideas and way of making money online differs from how everyone does it. The fact how someone makes money online intrigues me because I personally haven’t done what they have done. Everyone knows a trick you don’t!

There is a funnel we work on to make our paid traffic convert.

We put the time and effort to create our landing page to look like the offer page, we add certain graphics, we write and type like the offer page, we add certain text, etc. We do a lot of things to get the user to the offer page and from teh offer page to a lead. It is likely the landing page we create is resulting into a conversion.

Then the inevitable happens… your traffic is consistent but your conversions start to drop off…

These traffic sources are very cheap because of the users that are use to popups and that they avoid them. But for users who actually look at them they convert with a high conversion. Imagine spending just .01 on impressions and then getting paid a $42 per lead? Now that is a HUGE return.

Here is an old video I had for What is PPV Traffic. I was going to post this for something else but never got to it, so why not just use this video for this blog.

Watch the video…

Well, this is such a great source of traffic that you can easily take and leverage this to your opportunity. Everyone is in a mood to save and finding savings is the main goals when it comes to shopping online. They personally know that there is a lot of savings to be made online. So they scour the internet to find it.

I bet when you shop online, you search Google for a coupon. So you can see a coupon does have power in itself already.

So why not us a coupon cut out lander?

I have been doing Internet marketing for sometime now and if I would have known about having these two things when I first started out, it probably wouldn’t have cost me all of the mistakes that I have made over the years. I was not worried about creating a brand for myself at the time; I was just worried about making money. If you are just starting out with any sort of online business, I highly recommend that you get these two things in place before you do anything else.

The first item that you need is a personal blog. I cannot explain the true importance of branding yourself through a blog. Many bloggers don’t even realize the influence that they have on their current audiences. This is literally costing them thousands of dollars every day. Once you begin blogging and sharing your story across the Internet, people will begin to relate to your story and start to develop a relationship with you without actually even meeting you in person.

Today, I want to share with you a new affiliit learning membership sites. Yes there is a lot out there and they all vary from which is better and all this other stuff. Now if you want to do affiliate marketing but do not understand what you need to do first, I suggest you get a mentor or read some blogs. BUT do not read too much. You need to actually do it.

Now, I was privileged enough to get access to and to see what they have on here. The only affiliate ppc marketing classroom I hear of is PPC Classroom which I hear is one of the best out there, which is also similar to Affiliate Classroom with Amit. So how does this differ from others.

Well I personally learned about affiliate and online marketing all by myself. This meant I had to make mistakes, I had to lose money, I did all my split testing – no one helped me! I read blogs, forums, posted questions, attended conferences, etc. I didn’t have a solid mentor to go to. No one to ask questions that will have a consistent answer. I was all by myself.

Affiliit.com gives you a helping hand with online marketing. Their service is not just a private all access forum. They have 2 well known guys in the industry already, in which I have emailed back and forth about their program. Clint Lenard and his partner Chris, which I do not know of. Well anyways, their names does not really matter it is the content and the service they are providing which is why I am writing this post.

So what is in their system that differentiates them? Well, starters it isn’t a forum! Let’s get that ish straight. It has a forum. But it also has like sectional learning, like chapters and ish. When I was within their community they had some real beginner stuff, so I just went on to their videos and browsed their tools.

…they got a real good hand in the tools section.

The video series breaks things down into sections, beginners, keywords etc. They have a good amount of videos within their site, being it is a fairly new site. Their is a lot of text information within their membership site that is worth reading especially if you are getting started or want to get started.

Some videos are basics of Prosper202, Applying to Networks, etc. They have videos showing you how to properly use their tools and optimize your campaigns. The videos are great. It is almost like going to an online university but for affiliit marketing. I do not think Clint will mail you out a diploma. If it makes you feel better click here for your web success diploma.

Their videos alone are pretty well verse. It is a step by step and they give you a good view of what is going on the screen.

The most interesting part is reading through the forum. There is a lot of knowledge in there and the best part is the forum is really active. For being brand new in the ‘teach me’ affiliate marketing space, I figured it would be pretty dead and repetitive. But there is a lot of good information in there.

The best part is they attack it like from a personal point of view, because reading some of the users goals is quite intriguing makes me want to just copy and paste their goals on my whiteboard. I guess it is more of a personal satisfaction that it is written somewhere and they know they got the affiliit team to make sure thy are on top of it.

Overall very good system and program they have here. Very well verse in media, content, and communication via their community. I think I myself will start participating in the forums to give my 2 cents.

Visit their website, they have a $1 trial that is going on right now. Even for $1 testing out hte tools and browsing the forums will benefit you a lot.

Maybe I will get Clint or Chris to get on a podcast about their platform and maybe share somethings. Damn, I haven’t done a podcast in a long time.

Facebook has made some major changes to both the UI as well as their backend. Now you can do bulk functions– bulk bid changes as well as ad level bulk pause/delete/activate. There is also a new limit of 1,000 ads in an account, so you have to be more selective in how many ads you can run at one time. We recommend more campaigns with fewer ads in each, as a result.

Here’s a screenshot of one campaign in the new interface:
