PAID TRAFFIC

Paid traffic has two main advantages over organic traffic. Paid traffic is fast

and controllable. If you have an offer that you wish to promote on Facebook,

simply pay for the space and choose your target market. You can almost
instantly get your offer in front of as many people as your budget will allow. If

a campaign is profitable, scale up. If not, turn it off.

The Challenges of Paid Traffic with Affiliate Marketing
There are two factors that make it difficult for beginners to use paid traffic in

their affiliate marketing efforts. Unfortunately, some “gurus” in the space will

tell you otherwise (in hopes of selling a course probably) because paid traffic

sounds easier.

In reality, paid traffic only works for the best affiliate marketers. And there is a

perfectly logical reason for this. Advertising is sold on an auction basis
(meaning the space goes to the highest bidder) and everyone has access to

the same affiliate products. So in theory, the profit margins will always go to

zero. Only those with complex funnels & systems will earn the competitive

advantage necessary to make this model profitable.

And reason #2 affiliate marketing beginners will struggle with paid traffic is

the payout schedule. Let me explain…

If you are selling a product where you take the payments, then you receive

that money almost instantly. Let’s say that today you spend $100 on ads to

make $200 back. That means tomorrow you can spend $200 to make

$400...etc.
