Mobile CPA marketing. PERIOD.

Congrats on your success.

The best email marketing results come from building your own lists.

TE sucks balls....think about the type of people that use them. Do you want those types of people as your leads (the few that you can get)?

I have seen a lot those types of sites. Many have come and gone but they all sell the same thing.....CRAP traffic/fake visits. I own a traffic network and all activity is accounted for....every click, impression or conversion. Here is my best advice....DO NOT buy traffic from a business that is not true or real business. That means that they should have a registered business (LLC or corporation) and an established brand. It took me years to get my business established and branded. Now, I only buy traffic from www.SiriusTraffic.com (I own it) and Facebook (custom audiences only). I don't trust other networks. I have seen too much.

Awesome!

Free usually translates to being not as effective as something that has value and a price. I recommend using List Eruption. It works really well and it is easy.

My favorite and only email software that I use is Rapid Mailer. It's awesome and works better than anything else that I have used.

This free training provides some great insights about how to get better performance: http://​http://siriustraffic.com/email-marketing-mastery/

It is impossible to tell if an ad is working or not with crap traffic or fake traffic. Do not buy traffic from any traffic source that is not accountable for it's services. PLAIN & SIMPLE.

Try this: Programmatic Ad Network

Paid traffic is king. Yes, the money is in the list but you can't get a list without traffic. Paid traffic is the most efficient traffic source. You need only to make sure that the traffic you are buying is actually real people and not a bunch of bots or BS.

In order to competitively function in any market or industry, you must meet or exceed the resources used by the top competitors. A combination of paid traffic, SEO and social media is the way to go but ALWAYS capture the lead. The whole point for any type of marketing is LEAD GENERATION. If you are not capturing leads then you are not actually generating leads....you are passing on leads. With paid traffic you must always have a set amount or budget that you are willing to risk in order to find out if an ad campaign produces results. Most people that are new to paid traffic don't understand that. Everybody knows about the, "it takes money to make money" notion. Well, by default that means you will have to spend money. However, most affiliate marketers don't have much money to spend on paid marketing so, they don't make much money. They are afraid to take risks. There is no way to eliminate risk. That is a part nature. As the saying goes, "no risk, no reward". Because most people are taught, "the best things in life are free"...they naturally expect something for nothing. Subscribing to conflicting notions....this why most people are blind to any true opportunities that could right in front of them. After all, most people know no more than they are taught. I you are being taught wrong, you can expect your results to be the same. I happen to own a ppc traffic network. Like most of you, I was once at a dilemma about paid traffic but only until I saw that paid traffic is where the money is. It can cost less than SEO and require less effort than social media. They key to paid traffic actually helping you is to first make sure that the traffic is real. If the traffic is bullshit, the results will be bullshit. Another thing is this.....if you promote CPA offers, know that every CPA vendor shaves leads. You will not get credited or paid for all of the leads you deliver. That's a fact. You will never get paid for every lead and if you are using paid traffic to promote CPA offers you can indeed lose your ass. The bottom line is that in order to get results you need skills....just like with everything else. There is no such thing as easy money. It takes work, intelligence & skill. Do not expect to make it in this game without sacrifice.

My best advice is to learn how to build a responsive email list and use PPC marketing.

I you need something that works, contact me. I will show you what you need to know for free...step by step.

I totally understand Matt's point of view but such a concern is predicated upon the possibility of many safest users using Safest pirate. However, there have only been a few thousand sales (less than 5,000). That's not enough users to put a dent in anything or saturate the safest market with crap traffic. I don't see a cause for concern. You can't block software that functions like safest pirate does.

I have it and have used it but went back to optimize press. Why? Because I could never get it to work with Rapid Mailer which is my primary email weapon of choice.

I prefer Rapid Mailer above anything else and hosting it on your own servers. I know of nothing else that works as good as this and allows you to have full control over your email lists. If you choose to use a paid service, I recommend getresponse but hosting your own email management is the best way to go.

LinkedIn is where you will get the best and most B2B leads and clients.

I'd be glad to help you. What landing page system(s) are you using?

Is anyone here into programmatic marketing?

Dude, you're link dropping and it's clearly tacky.

I read the threads in this forum to get insight on what people that are new to digital marketing are experiencing. This helps me with my business. I own a programmatic ppc traffic network and it's successful. Because of this I get a unique bird's eye view of what works as well as what doesn't. I review support tickets and this allows me to know what problems people have and what the solutions are. I'm not a "guru" but I'm a successful businessman in the global digital marketing space with an established brand and presence. Some of my clients are some of the world's top brands and companies as well as few celebrities and public public figures. I'm saying this to inform you of my qualifications for informing you of what you are about to learn, not brag or boast. What I have to convey will indeed help anyone that is new to ppc marketing. So now, let's dig in and get to the point. The number one reason that most people that are new to ppc marketing fail or lose money is not because their funnels or landing pages. It's not because of the sales copy or image placement. It's not the lack of using psychological triggers. The reason that most ppc marketing newbies fail is because of unrealistic expectations and not knowing enough. Sounds weird, right? Let me explain with an analogy. When people go on a vacation or travel, they choose their clothing based on the weather at their destination. If people do not do this then there is a high probability that a person would be improperly dressed for the weather during their vacation, right? Now, just say that the vacation destination is your goal which would be a desirable outcome for your ad campaign. If you don't do not have a clear understanding of what to expect, then no matter what you do, the odds will be against you. Are we at an understanding on this? For those that did not get what I just stated, allow me to make my point more clear: If you subscribe to idea of an unrealistic outcome, you will never reach a realistic goal. There are dominating narratives and myths about PPC marketing that are inconsistent with reality and with this post I will destroy the core those lies and inform you of what realistic expectations truly are. Forget about what EVERY ppc marketing guru has ever said. These so-called "gurus" want you to think that they are the traffic masters. The real traffic masters are PPC traffic network owners, hands down. No other type of person or company within the digital marketing industry is legitimately in any kind of position to know more about internet traffic than the traffic providers and high volume publishers. Even the "gurus" buy traffic from companies like mine. Selling traffic is what has made google what it is. It is disrespectful and insulting to a person's intelligence to make person that is new to ppc marketing think that they can start making thousands or millions of dollars in short order and without spending at least a little money. Take a look at the many sales pages and WSOs that the "gurus" and so-called "experts" have.....do you notice that most have a common message that is subtly or blatantly conveyed? What is it? It's the idea that you can make something from nothing. No matter what anybody says, that is crap notion in the ppc marketing space. You most certainly will spend some money in order to generate more money. The "Free Traffic" products.....some of them work but NONE of them will or can deliver the amount of traffic that you need to grow or really make some significant money.....and the people selling these products will never say what i just told you. They want you to buy their products, this is how they are really making their money. Don't listen to anybody that cannot show you real clients that are outside of the digital marketing space. Digital marketers make up a very small percentage of the world's population. If the person you are listening to about digital marketing cannot show you REAL clients, do not trust what they say. It's good to promote affiliate products but everybody who is anybody knows that the best money comes from business clients and contracts. Another common lie or myth is that cheap clicks are the best.....yeah, only for your budget but not for your ROI. I am not saying that it hasn't been done by somebody somewhere, but as a ppc traffic network owner I have never seen a profitable campaign campaign for any ad campaign that only spent $0.01 or less per click. It is unrealistic to expect a successful ad campaign to come from the cheapest traffic you can find which brings me to the next myth or lie about ppc marketing....bot clicks and click fraud. All of the major ad networks serve crap traffic at high prices. This includes Facebook and Google. A lot of the clicks that people and businesses buy from these ad networks are worthless. Don't think so? Go ahead....run an ad with an average or below average budget and let me know about the results. You can use something like click tale or crazyegg to see everything for yourself. To make big money promoting anything on the major ad networks you will indeed need a big budget....hundreds to thousands of dollars just for testing. There is a lot of risk. There is a high chance that you will lose money and lot of it if you do not know what you are doing. If you know what you are doing then you know that you need expensive tools to get the job done. Most people can't afford the tools or the budget required to make big money or a high ROI with the major ad networks. That's just the truth....consider the average cpc rates and bid minimums across the board. Wild, right? Yeah. Some people think that they should be seeing conversions or leads coming after 50 or 100 clicks. That's crap. You will need to run on average 300 to 1,000 clicks to test anything for profitability. Show me an ad campaign that made big money with less clicks than that and I will show you a unicorn with a rainbow coming out of it's a$$. Direct linking does not work well for most promotions. Always capture the lead. If you are not capturing leads, you are totally screwing up and need to stop everything that you are doing. One of the primary purposes of ALL digital marketing is LEAD GENERATION. Why? Because leads are the lifeblood of any and every business. The lead always comes before the sale. So, if you are not capturing your leads before you send them to your offer or promotion, you are totally skipping the lead generation process and because of that you can never get to the lead engagement and nurturing process. Think about it....you hear it all of the time....the money is in the list. Split-testing is FUNDAMENTAL and ESSENTIAL with ppc marketing. If you are not split-testing your creatives, landing pages and funnels I can assure you that your results will not be good or anything of what you want or desire. Split-testing......DO IT. This means that you have to make landing pages and banners, etc. Do not be lazy.....DO IT. It's necessary. That's all for now but I will continue this thread. Let me know your thoughts.
