Don’t assume that the deal is great though. Check to see where the ad will be
                       placed, then go to the site and see how the ads look. Additionally, go to
                       Google Ad Planner and research the site to see that the numbers are
                       accurate, the demographics are what you need on the site, and the age range
                       is appropriate. Sites with large numbers of under­18 users are almost useless
                       because they do not have access to credit cards like adults do.


                       If you choose to use graphic banner advertising, make sure to have a
                       professional banner created to keep it looking high quality. You can get one of
                       these for as little as $20 on Elance or other freelancing sites and it takes only
                       a day or two. Easy as that, you get huge traffic for less than $300 and you
                       won’t need to worry about things like SEO or PPC advertising.

               CPA marketing is not entirely different from affiliate marketing, but many times you’ll

               find that those who specialize in it will use it alone and vice versa. I won’t
               recommend any one type of marketing over the other – there are marketers who
               have made massive fortunes on both sides of the fence. However, I will say that you
               should focus on one method and poor as much of your energy into it as possible. If
               you’re serious about making a profit with your affiliate marketing efforts, you need to
               know one niche and field inside and out. Don’t hop back and forth or you’ll never
               reach that level of knowledge you need to succeed.






               Outsourcing and Delegation

               If you ask any one successful marketer in the world what got them where they are
               today, they will tell you one thing – time management and outsourcing. You just can’t
               get anything done if you try to take it on yourself. Yet, it seems like every time I turn
               around, I see someone stumbling through the motions, trying to make money while
               doing everything on their own.

               And they don’t fail outright. They can get one or two websites up every month or so.
               They can tweak a few links and write a few articles a day, and if they’re lucky they
               will have a bit of time left over at the end of the week to spend with their families. But
               they don’t get to quit their jobs and they definitely don’t become super affiliates, and
               here’s why.



               Affiliate Marketing Takes Time
               It takes a lot of time. It’s why we always say there is no such thing as a “get rich
               quick” ​scheme. The quick part sinks you every time. It takes time and it takes
