Really, they do. I see crap like "Guaranteed $100 a day! Easy for noobs!", and I want to spit on my screen. It's like an ebook, only you can reply to it. But nobody calls them out as to their "guarantee", and 95% of methods worked one time for one person. Not this one.
It's quick, simple, and legitimately only costs a dollar. Here we go. Short and sweet.
Requirements
Time to dedicate
An affiliate account (CPA preferred)
A 99-cent domain (get a coupon)
A $100 AdWords code (you can find them for free)
A $75 Facebook code (these can be found free, too)
Free hosting (use Blogger or 000webhost for now)
Steps
Find a CPA/other offer with a high payout that you are a) passionate about, and b) can make a site around, but is c) popular and in demand. Once you can get A+B+C, you get D, your offer. Take the offer, research, download photos, and then go to a domain site.
GoDaddy and NameCheap have 99 cent codes for com's all the time. It's just finding the right time. If you can't be cheap and spend two bucks on a info, or ten for a com. Find something relevant. If you can't do that, find the proper section in the forum and do some reading, then come back.
Attach your site to your host. I find Blogger the easiest to modify and connect a GoDaddy domain to. The whole process up to here should take you an hour or two, most of that spent finding an offer.
Make an okay-looking sales copy. Again, if you can't do this, look to other forum sections for assistance. You should know this by now. Make it look pretty. If you look at the site, and you wouldn't use it as a flow-through for a site to buy something on (meaning it doesn't look legitimate and trustworthy), keep working until it does. This will take a while.
Once everything is all set up, do a little bit of by-hand SEO, just enough to get yourself ranked for something. Give it a few weeks if necessary. Build up hype through free accounts on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, etc. Comment on blogs, forums, and the like.
Then start an AdWords account, and go to Facebook Ads. Stick in your coupon codes. Do keyword research. I suggest WickedFire for keyword research information, or the Nicky Cakes Guide (Google it). You can get some good quality stuff for $0.05 per click. That's two thousand legitimate clicks on your site. Say you have a click-through rate of 8%, a conversion rate of 2%, and a payout of $50.
2% of 2000 is 40 conversions. Say your network shaves half your offers. This happens, a lot. That's 20 conversions approved at $50 payout per conversion. That's $1,000. From $1. To be honest, anything over $1 plus whatever you value your time at is profit. Pocket anything over the original $100, and repeat the process. If it seems scalable, move on to $200, and so on and so forth. Rinse and repeat, or grow and build a network of sites.
Do the same ad process with Facebook. I almost prefer Facebook because they offer geo-targeting and a lot narrower options. Example? Okay.
I've got a site for the Fleshlight. I get $20 per payout. The site's up and going. I put up my $75 Facebook code. I go for $0.10 per click. I want results, my site is good, it will convert. Who do I target? Males. I can do this. Males who are not in a relationship, or are in a relationship and very religious. I can target anything I want. At $0.10 per click, that's 750 clicks.
If 10% click-through (low end), that's 75 to my CPA offer. If only ten of those, or a little over 1% of all clicks, converts, that's $200 from a free code. Heck, I could have put in my own $75 and come out on top.
Again, like my other thread, PM me if you have questions. I'll try to get to them.
$1. Make it happen.
