This is a method I have used 3 times now, and each time the income I generate has multiplied.
This method was started in response to a certain method that dealt with funneling traffic from live streaming sites like Justin.tv, UStream, etc to your landing pages that are of course setup to make money from CPA.
That method is still highly profitable, and I personally use it as well as many others. However, the amount of idiots that all do the same thing are making it much harder to profit since all they do is make the exact same blatant spammy posts, so I wanted to experiment with something new.
Here's the breakdown:
1. Create a free email account. I prefer Gmail.
2. Make a post in Craigslist to build up an email list. I use the "For Sale > Tickets" area as well as the "Freebies" area. Use different IPs, email accounts, and post across as many cities as you can.
Here's an example:
"What's up guys!
I bought the UFC 108 High-Def stream from Yahoo Sports. I figured there were a lot of people that wanted to see the fights but couldn't, so I decided to share access with anyone who wants to watch it. Just hit me up with a reply, and I will contact you with the login details for the Yahoo stream.
P.S.I can't give this to everyone since I'll probably get banned ;p
It's first come, first serve people.
Have a good one,
Alex"
Remember, the above is just an example. Don't be a robot; be creative. Please. Otherwise you are just wasting your time.
The main point is to make sure that you come across as a real person that's just sharing. Letting your personality show in these types of posts works wonders for your conversions.
3. Create a simple landing page. Make sure you have an image on there that's relevant. Something like a pic of the 2 fighters in the main event, etc.
Add a short message like "Watch UFC 108 Free With Alex! Please enter the same email you used to reply to my CL ad below so that I can confirm you are on my Lucky 50 list. "
Of course, this will be a CPA email submit offer in disguise.
4. Once you've gotten as many email replies as you want, you can then just send out a message to all of them that says something like:
"Hey,
Thanks for your email. I just tested everything on my end, and the Yahoo Stream is live and ready to go.
There's only one problem....
My inbox got waaaaayyy to flooded with people wanting in, so I had to limit my share to only 50 people. I know a lot of people will miss out. Sorry.
The good news is that you were one of the 50, so you get to watch it!
All I need for you to do is confirm your email for me so that I know you were on my lucky 50 list.
Just go to http://yourlandingpage.com and enter your email in the box so that I can cross reference my list for confirmation. Once you do that, I will send you the access details for the Yahoo Sports stream immediately.
Thanks Again.
Hope you enjoy the fights,
Alex"
Again, just an example. I usually wait a few days before sending this out. You can use EZAutoresponder to automate this as well.
5. From here you can do 2 things:
- Just forget about them since you have already gotten what you needed which is an email submit.
- Or you can use a program like EZAutoresponder and blast out an email that says something like
" Hey guys,
Yahoo just banned my account for sharing.
Sorry guys.
Guess that's what happens when you try to be nice.
Alex"
Additional Notes:
- This method will produce pretty high conversions in my experience, so you will probably want to use some junk traffic to balance things out.
- You may want to add a legit looking blog on your domain with a real email capture form on it. This way if you Affiliate Manager asks any questions about traffic, you can say you use email marketing to opt-ins you get on your page(your blog). You can also just add the actual email submit form for your offer onto the blog itself so you can say you get leads from there. Just make sure that the blog content is relevant to the offer you chose to use.
- Make sure to take the necessary steps to cover your ass. I accept no responsibility if you get banned from any network. So if you are not good at cropping offers into images, blanking/spoofing the referrer, or other basic BH tactics, I recommend you brush up before using something like this.
- Use other traffic sources to get emails. There are tons of online classified sites you can bomb.
- You could also create a Twitter account and start following people in MMA. Then send them your email and tell them they can watch UFC 108 or whatever for free like you do with your CL readers.
- Myspace, FB, and other social sites work well, too.
- You could even do this offline as well...
Conclusion:
This method will generate quick-cash injections, but you can use it over and over on different sports events, so there's a lot of money to be made if you are creative enough.
I have actually evolved this method into a long-term approach that produced even better results. I tested this on my 3rd run and it was great. I have a feeling that the long-term approach will be much more profitable and hands-off since I can build a targeted list that is growing rapidly...
Again, make sure you take the necessary precautions.
Finally, please be creative. Every method shared here in BHW and ebooks, videos, etc are all just blueprints. You need to treat them as such.
Enjoy!

P.S. If you think this should be in JR VIP, then mods please move it by all means.
