The Secret to 6-Figure Online Income

When it comes to CPA marketing there is an abundance of legitimate providers and sources out there, in fact, each year the number of CPA opportunities available to you will double or even triple in numbers.

Unfortunately, as CPA’s popularity spreads like wildfire online, the number of competitors seeking to be credited first for recruiting prospects to their offers will also continue to grow.

But before you can begin making money with CPA programs, you must register and be approved for CPA based accounts. These networks serve as a middleman between you and advertisers who are interested in having you recruit new business and prospects on their behalf. These CPA companies generate money by earning a percentage of all of your income paid to them through each offer itself.

While there are hundreds of potential CPA companies to choose from, you will want to focus on the ones producing the best CPA opportunities, screening programs and paying out on time.

One of the biggest mistakes that CPA newcomers make is in getting involved in far too many CPA offers before learning the ropes and knowing what programs are converting best, and will allow them to maximize their income based on the time and effort they put into it.

Getting accepted into programs is often difficult because failing to provide adequate information on the application form, or not being prepared for the phone interview often associated with joining CPA networks.

For starters, you should write down a list of companies that you intend to apply to, and read over their terms and website information so that you are familiar with what is expected as well as how they operate.

Many of the top CPA programs work along the same lines, but sometimes there are specific requirements, such as having an active website that is generating traffic or having a certain amount of experience in different fields, so you will want to be prepared prior to applying.

What would happen if your website got 300 visitors
every day?

What if you sold a $47 product that converted at a
measly 1%?

That would be 3 sales a day… times 30 days =
$4,230.00

That’s not too shabby

My first son, Tunmise Awolowo recently turned 5 (on June 14, 2009), and it was a proud moment for all of us: My wife, Tunmise, his younger brother, ‘Fifehanmi. It seems just yesterday that he was born soon after we landed in Canada. How time flies!

You may ask, what is the relevance of this on a n Internet Marketing blog? Well, this blog documents my day-today journey across the landscape of life and business. So, occasionally you will hear stories about my personal life.

I look forward to the day when I’ll be able to spend more time  with these  boys at home instead of going to day job, and coming back in the evening to spend a few hours with them before “resuming” on my internet marketing “night job” I am praying that day will come in the next twelve (12) months.

I have been a member of Ebay since 2004. However, I have not had  time to take advantage of the many features and advantages of Ebay. Recently, however, I needed to raise some quick cash , and I turned to the good old Ebay marketplace for help. I had one of those high-priced physical information products lying on my bookshelf gathering (real, not digital) dust. All I just did was take a few pictures of the DVDs and big manuals and posted an apt description on Ebay. 7 days later, after the auction ended, I had made a cool $240. Not much for a week’s job, but it was quite gratifying for me as it was my very first sale on Ebay. I felt like I had made a million bucks.

My experience highlights a number of possibilities and advantages of Ebay:

Ebay brings together BUYERS, not browsers. A lot of visitors to Ebay are looking to BUY. That’s a huge advantage compared to search engine traffic, where a majority are just browsing, and you need to separate the buyers from the browsers.

With a good product, chances are you will find a buyer within 7 days (default bid period).

So with a good business model, you can actually base your entire business on Ebay. Many people have done this and are making high 6 figure income based solely on that.

Surely worth exploring. I surely am going to explore this further in my own business. 

Ace Internet marketer, Sylvie Fortin, has come out with a controversial report titled “Internet Marketing Sins“. In ”Internet Marketing Sins“,  Sylvie talks about 20 internet marketing sins being committed by both Internet Marketers and Consumers alike. Examples of such sins include “Sleight Hand of Continuity”, “Upsell Hell”, ”Limited Time Offers”, “Hammerhead Marketing”, “Feast or Famine Marketers”, etc. 

As expected, the report is causing a stir in the Internet Marketing community as she has received a lot of both Hate mail and Fan mail. If you are involved in internet marketing in any form, I’ll suggest you download and read the report here : “Internet Marketing Sins”, it is highly educative, and I’m recommending it to everyone on my list.

Sylvie knows how internet marketing works as she has been involved with almost all the top internet marketers through her company, Workaholicsforhire.com.

Have you heard of the latest search engine to be unveiled?  Cuil. Cuil? Yes the new search engine can be found out at http://cuil.com . Cuil pronounced “kool” claims to be the search engine with the highest number of indexed pages, and displays their results in columns as you’ll find in a newspaper. They also display images along with your search results, as is done currently by ask.com

Interesting. The company was founded by a couple of former Google staffers and some other technical ‘eggheads’. Apparently Google is unmoved saying that they always welcome competition in the Search arena. We’ll see.. . You can find more information about this latest Search Engine offering at http://cuil.com/info/faq  or even proceed to search with a different approach at http://cuil.com .

As an Internet Marketer, I welcome the addition. We don’t want to live our lives and do our business under the monopoly of powerful Google. Maybe Cuil will finally give Google a run for their money, and succeed where the likes of Yahoo and Microsoft have failed miserably!

As you may be aware, website traffic comes in different forms and flavours. You can generate traffic from many sources: Pay Per Click [(Google Adwords, Yahoo Search (Panama, anyone?), Microsoft Adcenter etc.].

You may decide, however ,that Pay Per Click Advertising is too expensive for you and you decide to go the route of Traffic Exchanges. Traffic Exchanges are largely free, and examples include: “I Love Hits“, “WebbizInsider”, etc. But from my own experience with traffic exchanges, they are hardly effective because the purpose of those browsing your websites (ads) is to accumulate credits so that their own websites will be displayed to others. Typically, it is advisable to rotate only your lead generation pages on Traffic Exchanges, you are typically wasting your time if you attempt to sell anything directly on traffic exchanges. You stand a greater chance of success if you just generate the lead and then offer a one time offer (OTO) after the lead has subscribed. If you really want to achieve maximum success with Traffic exchanges, you should opt for a paid option. This is the case in which you pay (say) $20/month and your webpage is rotated continually throughout the month. This, I believe is a better investment of your time,instead of mindlessly browsing through webpages, you can spend that time more effectively on your business.

Another form of ‘free’ advertising is placing your ads on Classified sites. The most popular free classified site that we all know is Craigslist, and it has [phenomenal success using its business model. People have gotten excellent results using Craigslist, and this has brought up a number of competitors like AdlandPro, Ablewise, etc. These ones also offer free classified ads, but in addition, give you the opportunity to make your adds more prominent by paying a premium ranging from $1 and upwards. On other sites apart from Craigslist, I have had more success when I opt for the Premium ads, than when I stick to just free classifieds. The reason is simply that the premium ads stand out from the thousands of free ads.

How can we forget the ultimate form of free advertisement; Search Engine Optimization (SEO). A  1st page placement in google (especially positions 1-5) is worth its price in Gold, and you cannot buy it (at least not directly!) with money.  Many experts have argued, however, that SEO is not really ‘free’. You pay for it in the time you devote to it.  They say that you can actually ‘buy’ a Google 1st page placement by hiring an SEO expert to optimize your site for the search engines. The debate rages on……..

I came across this interesting bit of news this morning. A medical doctor has left his lucrative 6-figure medical practice to devote all his time and efforts to running his very popular blog: Macrumors.com. How interesting?

Dr Kim started blogging about Apple Inc’s Secrets while still a Computer Science major in the university, and the site has grown to become the 2nd most popular blog on the Internet, defeating such popular blogs as the Huffingtonpost.com etc. Don’t forget that this blog is a technology blog and it has managed to eclipse political and other news websites. How and why did this happen? The main reason is that the Internet is like “thirsty elephant”, it’s always seeking fresh “waters” in the form of fresh content. Since Dr Kim’s Macrumors.com blog regularly supplies this fresh content, it has become one of the most visited webpages (not just blogs!) in the world. Very interesting.

Dr Kim’s MacRumors thrived on the secrecy of Apple, and over the years has been able to amass an impressive following. With that huge following, Dr Kim has been able to monetize the traffic through advertising income to such an extent that the income generated from a single blog was enough to enable Dr Kim to effectively ‘retire’ from his medical practice to run Macworlds.com on a full-time basis.

Well, well..   Iam looking forward to that day when I can generate even 1% of that income through my blogging efforts. I hope that day comes pretty soon!.

You can get further details of this interesting and encourging news (to us budding internet marketers) here : Dr Kim’s story.

The one thing which is absolutely critical, if you
want to make money on the internet, is that you must
be able to generate traffic.

After all, you can have the greatest product in the
world, but if nobody knows about it you aren’t going
to makeany sales.

There is a saying that goes, “nothing moves without a
sale.” When it comes to the Internet a sale does not
occur, if you do not have website traffic.

There are three types of traffic:

- Free traffic
- Performance traffic
- Paid traffic.

Free traffic is generated from sites like MySpace,
YouTube and from Blogs. By free, I mean you don’t
have to pay money for the traffic.

Performance traffic is traffic that you do not pay to
get, but you pay if something happens. Like having
affiliates selling for you. Let’s say you are giving
(paying) your affiliate 50% of the sale. You only pay
your affiliates when they generate sales. That is paid
based on the performance of the traffic that was
driven toward the website.

Paid traffic. Finally there is paid traffic. Probably the
most popular paid traffic program is Google
AdWords. This is a simple program where you have
Google display your ads in their search engine results
as well as on other related websites. When people
click on your ads to go to your site, you pay a certain
amount they you have agreed to in advance.

To really succeed continuously on the Internet, you need to utilize
all three types of traffic described above. There is not one
perfect way or one hallowed path for generating traffic.

It’s more of having multiple methods of generating traffic that are
efficient and effective. Methods that work together as a system
to give you the expected results.

Your traffic generation strategy should consist of as
many efficient and effective ways as you can
properly manage to ensure you get the maximum
traffic directed to your website so that you get the
greatest profits possible from the same traffic generation efforts.
