You can now protect your content via PayPal, SMS, Free Trial Offers and Surveys.
They also released a tool for the iPhone and a firefox plugin to check your daily stats. But there’s even more. Let’s take a look at the latest CPALead Update!

CPALead Traffic Retainer rocks!
Another great feature is the CPALead traffic retainer. It’s basically a Javascrip Exitgrabber script that asks visitors if they really want to leave the site. It’s a “last resort” marketing trick that works very well. Hopefully we will be able to edit the exitgrabber text and an option to disable it would be great too, but it comes in handy definitely!

Protecting Downloads
You can also protect your downloads now. People were able to grab the download links by looking at the source code of a website. Now you can initiate the download after people completed a survey/offer. This will greatly increase your number of leads.

New Dashboard
The new dashboard is also very decent and you will also notice that the new gateway looks a lot better now. The icons for surveys, trials, paypal, sms are very cool and give the gateway a trustworthy look.

The next post will be about joining CPA Networks. Some of the people that apply to CPALead get rejected because they don’t have any “premium” content. Basically you just need a site with content like movies, ebooks, pictures, photos, download or whatever else – but you need something that you can PROTECT. Do you have tutorials? Do you have high-quality photos, scans or even book chapters? Protect them and make money. I’ll present some of the best CPALead methods! Stay tuned.

On top of that you will get a eBook that reveals how I went from zero (well close to zero) to $3,000 per month.

I will also include 40 wordpress templates + resell rights. They are pretty decent too, so you don’t want to miss this offer.

Take a look at the templates above. They are simple, yet they are highly effective.
Why do they convert two times better than the average review page?

If you want to find that out you should grab our special product:

5 High-Converting CPA Templates + eBook + 40 Wordpress Templates

.. all of that for a price that is extremely low..

1.Above the fold. People hate scrolling. Your forms and everything important should always, no matter what, be above the fold. This will increase your conversion a lot.
2.Interaction. People are more likely to buy your product if they can interact with your website. If you make the buyer believe that the website they are on is able to find the *perfect* product, the chances are high that they will buy the product you recommend if they like the landing page of the product (something you can’t influence).
3.Authorities. Authorities can have a huge impact on your conversions. Let’s say the pope recommends your product and you add a picture and quote of the pope, it could triple your conversions. Before you add pictures of britney spears, madonna or whoever else to your site, you should be aware of the fact that they can sue you if you claim that celebrity ABC recommends that product. Well, most of the times you will at least receive a warning to remove the pictures before they will sue you. However, if it is a fact that celebrity ABC recommended it, they can’t sue you = $$$ big cash $$$. You can also take the risk and “lie”, this is a moral thing I guess and this is 100% up to you. Personally, I’d say being honest can pay off too, also it is true that authorities can triple your conversions.
4.Social Proof. People will follow the herd. If they know other people buy that or that product, they will follow the herd.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herd_behavior

5.The magic “buy-button”. People don’t know much about the web, some are happy when they are able to surf the web. But they know the basics:

Links are blue and underlined
Buy or Action Buttons are yellow. (the reason for this is that most people are familiar with the yellow amazon buttons)

If you combine the two points above, you’ll figure out how the perfect button should look like. This will increase your conversions a little bit.

6.Colors. Did you notice that every template has a different color? Well, of course you did. But you might think I did that because it is looking nice. “You didn’t?!!!” Most marketeers underestimate colors. I’m a designer and web developer, so I know how important colors are. Colors will affect your mood, your emotions, your memory, your heart rate and most importantly our buying behaviour. Actually, they affect everything. Colors have symbolic meanings and we associate “something” with every color. To become a better marketeer you will have to understand colors as well.

Two links that I would like you to visit are:
http://www.color-wheel-pro.com/color-meaning.html

http://crystal-cure.com/color-meanings.html

This will give you a better understanding of colors and how to use them effectively.

Want to change the colors I used? No problem, my templates are easily editable. Open the html file in your favorite editor and go to line 18 (this might be different in some templates), look for “color: …” inside the CSS-element “body” and change the hex-code to a color of your choice. Don’t know the hex-code of your favorite color?

Go to: http://html-color-codes.com/ = Hex Codes for Colors.

Your JOB

Well, most eBooks won’t give you a job or homework, but I do.
By now you should have a product and a rough idea what you want to do.

Brainstorm Headlines that will attract your audience

What are your visitors interested in? What problems want they solve?
Make sure to build up a very close connection between the headline of your adverts and the headline of your landing page:

Headline of your Ad:
Efficient Dog Training (short headline about the subject)

Headline of your Landing Page:
How To Change Your Dog’s Behaviour in 10 days (solve a concrete problem).

The headline of your landing page should be about a concrete problem that is general enough to attract many people who are interested in dog training, yet so concrete that people become interested and WILL READ ON.

This is your main job: Make people read on and CLICK. Actually, the click is the most important, although you have to remember that you should presell a product and evoke emotions, feelings and more.

A good image choice is very important to evoke emotions, but this was my job and I think all the pictures I’ve chosen evoke a lot of emotions.

Brainstorm ways to interact with your LP

Next, your job is to brainstorm how you could make the visitor interact with your LP (landing page). You will have to edit the dropdown-fields and enter information related to your product. Remember, if you make them believe that you are able to find the best product for them the chances are high that he/she will buy.

Of course this is a little bit sneaky and if you don’t think this is right, feel free to hire a programmer to develop a small tool that can actually find different products for different people (if you can’t do it yourself).

To be honest, this is very basic HTML and every good marketeer should be able to this on his own. If you don’t you better learn HTML and if you can PHP.
A reason to hire a programmer might be if you want to outsource and don’t “waste time” on parts that other people can do in less time.

The following is a small list of good freelance sites.
http://www.myseoblog.net/

Ok, now you either got a sneaky fake tool or a small tool to find the best product. Next you got to think about the social herd.

Testimonials and Before-After Pictures

Fill the glorious “Lorem Ipsum” text with useful information. Add Before-After Photos, Testimonials or Authority pictures to the right sidebar of the the template.

Remember, everything should be above the fold. So if you want to fill the whole site with tons of information, you can either add a link to a review site (that should have the same template) or add a new “box” below the actual site, so that people can scroll down (even if they hate to).

Tracking

When you are done, setup a tracking tool and track everything that is important. Split-test landing pages and change things that do not seem to work. Once you found something that works (e.g. Increases your CTR – clicktroughrate) you should write it down, so you can use the same technique for other LP’s.

I knew that Hydra is one of the big players, but that Clickbooth is earning so much is a real surprise. By the way, Clickbooth is updating their interface, it really looks pretty decent now. By now, Clickbooth is my 2nd best CPA network. They have some really good campaigns and their affiliate managers are also very nice.

Neverblue CPA Network

One of the big players out there.You should apply to this network after you have gained some more experience, because they are more selective than other networks. Neverblue is one of the biggest and most professional networks.

Dating Offers

Although they have a huge variety of offers, you could call them the dating CPA network. Any affiliate who is promoting dating offers should apply to neverblue. But they also have a lot of other niches:

Neverblue Campaigns

As you can see above, they have more than 800 campaigns.

Neverblue Pros:

• Many international campaigns
• A map allows you to quickly identify all of the supported countries of each campaign .
• Network earnings and EPC are visible to all affiliates
• User-friendly backend
• Own API

Neverblue Cons:

• Will report any after running more campaigns with them

Lidango CPA Network

Lidango CPA Network Review – my best performing network.

Well, Lidango is still relatively new in the CPA World, but growing quickly. Lidango is a great network for beginners!

Great campaigns, user-friendly backend and EPC info

Lidango has many great campaigns. Their backend probably has the best-looking and most user-friendly interface I have seen so far on CPA networks (I’m a designer myself, so I know what I am talking about).
Their 3 main niches are: Biz Offers, Health/Healthcare, Ringtones and they are constantly adding new campaigns.

Pros:

• Best Interface
• Best payouts in the CPA World
• Newbie-friendly
• Application approval via E-mail and AIM
• List of best performing campaigns (which helps you to pick a winner straight from the beginning)
• Proxy rarely required if you preview a campaign from outside the US (if you need it, use CPAProxy.com)

Cons:

• Not many campaign creatives
• You have to apply to every campaign before you can start sending traffic to them. (Some are auto-approval, but not all. It is required to tell your AM how you send traffic to their offers)

Hydra CPA Network

This was the first CPA Network I applied to – ever. After calling them I had to answer a few question (mainly how I generate traffic) before they approved me. Their requirements aren’t very high and they will also accept “newbies”, but you should have a site that you can show them.

Niche CPA Offers

Hydra has been around for a while, you will quickly find that out. They have a lot of campaigns (400+) and a lot of different niches: Giveaways, Financial, Health, Education, Insurance, Entertainment, Retail, UK, E-Mail/Zip Submits

Many campaigns, No EPC Info – Hard to pick a winner

They have so many campaigns that you will have a hard time to find a good campaign. Other networks will display the EPC to make it easier to pick a well-converting campaign. Hydra does not.
However, they have usually the most and best creatives and very specific details what kind of traffic is allowed and what not. After reading their instructions carefully, you can start sending traffic immediately.

Precise Traffic Instructions

DLS (PPV Traffic)
Search (PPC Traffic via Search Engines)
Mail (E-Mail traffic)
Contextual (Blogs, Sites, …)
Banners (Banners on your site are allowed)

Let’s say there is a campaign that only allows Banner traffic, then you are not allowed to write a review and put that banner below it.
Do not send traffic to “E-Mail only” campaigns, they are only available if you do E-Mail marketing. Always ask your AM if you are not sure what is allowed.

Hydra Network Pros:

• Many niches and campaigns
• Low requirements to get accepted
• Many creatives for almost every campaign
• Very specific traffic instructions, therefore you are auto-approved to about 90% of all their campaigns.
• Most E-Mail submit campaigns you will find anywhere

Hydra Network Cons:

• Too many campaigns without info about EPC – hard to pick a winner
• AM support only average due to the size of the network
• Payouts are only average (you can get better deals if you get access to private campaigns)
• Campaigns expire regularly, actually any campaign that I sent traffic to expired after just 1 week (other networks have a lower competition and offers will not expire that fast)

CPALead Niche Network

CPALead – If you have premium content that you want to protect this is for you. It’s my constant cash cow.

This is a “niche” CPA network. They specialized on surveys and content unlockers. They are constantly adding new surveys every day. Best of all they have international campaigns and are adding more and more every day.
They do have some requirements, you need a site that offers something unique. It must be so unique that people would spend 2-3 mins on a survey to access it. If you don’t have anything like that, then don’t bother to signup. It should be something like: ebooks, movies/videos, tutorials (in high demand), etc..

If you don’t have a site with premium content then don’t bother to signup, they will decline your application.

CPALead Tools

You can either protect your content or your visitors can fill out surveys and earn points (for example to get more virtual poker chips)

CPALead Tools

Why is this my constant cash cow?

So, why is this my constant cash cow? If you claim a niche you can monetize all of your traffic easily with their content unlocker. Your users complete a survey or sign up for a special service and then they will be redirected back to your site and can access your “premium” area.

CPALead Pros:

• Monetize international traffic
• Low requirements
• Very easy to make money quickly
• Possibility to disable surveys
• Reward your visitors and earn money

CPALead Cons:

• Preview for international customers only possible through proxy that allows to turn on Javascript
• Low Payouts (email submits pay more)
• No info about EPC (networkwide)
• Impossible to select ONLY certain campaigns for gateway, you would have to disable them for your whole account

FluxAds CPA Network

CPA Network Review of FluxAds.com – If you are into ZIP/E-Mail/Survey submits, this is for you!

FluxAds is a network that is well-know and established. My earnings on that network are slowly growing. They have so many E-Mail submits it’s pretty amazing. FluxAds also have some surveys and a few dating CPA offers with really high payouts.

Their backend is a big flaw:

Their backend is very complex and grey text on grey background makes it pretty hard to get your things done quickly.
Actually, I think this network has great potential, but not with that backend. Seriously, they should get a redesign done quickly.

FluxAds Pro:

• High payouts for dating campaigns
• Many E-Mail and ZIP submits and even surveys

FluxAds Cons:

• No Quick Overview of all campaigns
• Worst Interface of all CPA Networks (aside from InstantDollarz)
• AM’s rarely online
• No Preview link for campaigns (use CPAProxy.com)
• Grabbing links is a pain, most of them you have to “deploy” first
• No specific traffic instructions (they really got to work on that)
