Hi, i have to tell you something: Don't ask if CL works! Don't ask if Youtube works! Don't ask if Ebay works! Don't ask if Yahoo Answers works! ... and so on ... I say to you: IT ALL WORKS!! The clue and the solution for the game is: TRAFFIC!! Most Affiliate Methods works, when you have TRAFFIC!! So don't waste your time with searching the right method. Just pick one and drive TRAFFIC to it! And TRAFFIC means not 12, not 24, not 47, TRAFFIC means 1000+!!! And very important: NATURAL TRAFFIC!! DON'T BUY TRAFFIC!!! Youtube, CL and Yahoo works fine for that... Every serious Affiliate program works with TRAFFIC(1000+)!! Some better, some poorer!! So think about it: The solution is TRAFFIC!!
Yes I agree traffic is the only source but you see newbies say that because they tried several ways to accomplish their campaign but fail and don't know how. And why. THEY ARE NEWBIES! They want clarification from people like you. I bet you you said the same thing when you were a "Newbie"..... Peace everyone!
not necessarily true. people who have so much experience will say that quote is killer. i can make more money with only 100 visitors than someone with 1000 visitors per day. there are so many variables you need to consider. the equation traffic = money will only become true after that.
Lots of traffic can make you some money. Targeted traffic will make you even more money. Taking that targeted traffic and building a list will make you lots of money for a lifetime.
High paying niche + targetted traffic = money! I make about $120 bucks per month off of about 20 visitors per day on one site. But they are super targeted and its a high paying niche. Still, not much money per month but it was my "light bulb" and what got my feet wet. I still agree though... build a list. That's the golden path.
I disagree with OP. Traffic, and even highly targeted traffic, in and on itself doesn't mean much if you have crappy landing/sales pages. Getting traffic is the easiest part. What you really should focus on, is to make sure that your landing/sales pages are highly converting.
