well first of all I in no way ever said you could make $1000 on day one ha. I said $100 and I didnt even say it would happen the first day. (although that should be possible) Your right not every sign up will reach 100fpp but, you are sending leads that will often reach 100 fpp's, and that is because they are tageted traffic of people who are specifically looking to play poker. Also I didnt go into exact detail of my ad copies, and amount posted, and the response I put in the email. Your right this will work better if you have a good plan before implimenting.
If I can give another tip on this method, it is to set up an autoresponder, to respond to all the CL people and make it more automated.
I wasn't quoting you when I said $1,000 a day, I was just going from what I'm sure some people were thinking reading this post.
It's NOT about a signup reaching FPP, it's about them depositing money - and then reaching FPP. You do NOT get paid for FREE signups, which you weren't very clear on. You get paid for signups that deposit real money and then reach 100 FPP.
Some sites like FullTilt will pay as much as $200+ dollars a month for signups, but that's ONLY if you are sending them a boatload of signups every month. At that point CPA is a terrible business model in this industry because your choices are CPA @ $75 to $200 a signup OR 20% or more of rev-share.
Taking a $75 CPA is pointless because even a player who deposits $100 a month is going to make you $20 a month for as long as they are depositing that money. In just 4 months, you make more than that CPA payout of $75.
And if they get crazy and make one big deposit, say of $500, you're 20% payout of that is $100, $25 more than you would have gotten with the CPA.
If you're sending even decent traffic to a poker site, you want to be paid in rev share and NOT CPA. On top of that, most poker sites will watch your signups closely and if they see that they aren't making money paying you CPA, they will switch you over to revshare faster than you can blink and there's not a EFFING thing you can do about it except take that revshare money.
These sites have seen it all when it comes to scams and tricks. That's why the FPP points are in place. Affiliates used to sign up under their own accounts with other people's or even stolen CC's and get the CPA payout into their affiliate account and then withdrawal the money from the poker account after only playing a few hands and after the affiliate commission had been paid. That was a long time ago. These sites TRACK everything now and if they see any sort of issue, they will contact you if you know your affiliate manager or just plain boot you if they don't.
You also never mentioned SPAM, something many of these sites are very picky about. Someone else posted Pokerstars info here, here is what Stars says about SPAM.
"What is PokerStars' stance on email marketing or marketing on public forums?
PokerStars absolutely does not tolerate unsolicited spam of any kind, whether it be through email, forum posts or blog comments. We pride ourselves on the integrity of our operations and will not tolerate any type of subversive marketing on our behalf. Any reports of affiliate spam should be immediately sent to [email protected] so that we may take immediate action."
I'm just trying to be as honest as possible, not shoot down anyone's dreams or fervor to be a poker affiliate. It's a good business, but it's hardly the "quick buck" business this post seems to make it out to be.
No offense, but judging from your posts, I find it very hard to believe you've ever made a dime as a poker affiliate. Don't take it the wrong way, it's not personal. It just seems like your knowledge of the industry is pretty low for someone who claims to be involved in it.
