2 X% c0 }3 H5 C' a$ C0 uGetting Your Mind Right to Start Affiliate Marketing
The affiliate marketing space is filled with offers, internet traffic sources, promotion techniques and an
ever-increasing list of gurus who claim to know (and be able to teach you) the “next big thing” where
you'll wake up to millions of dollars overnight. For anyone who has ACTUALLY done affiliate marketing
with any success, these claims are laughable and far from the truth.
Affiliate marketing is simply a business, like any other. There are customers, sales, suppliers and cash

7 s! N, L1 i$ p# {3 ]3 m" a) {9 @$ qCost per sale (CPS) network- Every time an affiliate sends a visitor who buys a product, the affiliate
% Q" i' b" y# }& ]0 yreceives a commission on that product. An example would be the Amazon.com Associates program,
; o5 r3 x) b2 K$ R1 bComission Junction or Clickbank.
" r3 a( w' v  ACost per action (CPA) network- The affiliate earns a commission by sending a visitor who completes

account, getting the affiliate approved for offers, bumping payouts and just about everything else

right from the start can really help you.
PPV- means pay-per-view, and is also called CPV (cost-per-view). This type of internet traffic is served

view, starting anywhere from .01 or .015.
3 \: u. R; c  U0 @' ^8 eIn order to use this type of internet traffic, the affiliate can sign up with a number of different
8 F) w" d+ O8 [companies who serve popups. The main PPV/CPV networks are Trafficvance, LeadImpact,
MediaTraffic, and AdOn Network.
+ v# l& i8 m$ U* O( C! t6 `# FDon't popups get blocked by pop blocker software?

; g- U$ M2 S8 ^$ X- }$ r+ cHow many popups get served to the visitor?
The number of popups served varies depending on the PPV network. Some pop more frequently
(LeadImpact), others less frequently (Trafficvance). PPV advertising companies make their money by
serving this kind of advertising, so they have to toe the line between keeping their software
downloaded and still making a profit.
Isn't this type of software bad? Why would anyone keep it on their computer?
& y3 ~% }: I+ eNo, this type of software doesn't harm the user's computer.
Companies that specialize in this type of traffic offer their visitor an incentive like screensavers, games,
/ F& V; I: \9 }' E+ ^toolbars or videos to place the software on their computer. The visitor keeps the software in place so

. m$ p/ a& t  }, S; Y3 N7 PHow to Get Accepted into a CPA Network
In order to start marketing offers, it will be necessary to join one or more CPA networks. A good place
, R# h" J  |/ d8 rto start looking for networks is Offervault which lists offers and lets you compare payouts across
different networks.
Once you find a network that you want to join, fill out the affiliate (sometimes called publisher)
1 D3 o' F  |2 ~+ j0 Gapplication and be as specific as possible about your promotion methods. Usually some time after
receiving your application, the company will call to interview you. The phone interview is a critical
part of the application process, and most networks will deny your application outright if they can't get
you on the phone.
Often, the person who does your phone interview will actually become your affiliate manager after
( @3 ^; `0 f$ f' Eyou get accepted, so it's a good time to put your best food forward.
- z  Q  z( X* h3 VYou might not relish at the idea of someone grilling you about your internet marketing methods over
the phone, but trust me, this part is critical. Have answers in mind for the questions:
What methods do you use to market offers?
Do you already have a website you will be using?
* T7 X5 S* l7 L2 y; e% i* ~8 RHow much is your advertising budget?
7 D; @1 M& H- y# DWhat other networks are you a member of?
) [) g- F& S2 n6 H# W8 IWho are your affiliate managers at these networks?
; G8 M- v* j; N6 o! MDo you use social media (Facebook, twitter, etc.) to market offers?
How much traffic can you drive?
% b- m# ~3 R. a4 R1 mDo you have a personal recommendation from anyone who is already a member?
Once you provide satisfactory answers to these questions, the network will approve or deny your
application. If you get denied, just keep applying or call someone on the phone and try again. Be
persistent. Also, getting a personal recommendation from someone who is already an active affiliate
% g7 g6 a6 s7 }. @for the network can be helpful.
To meet people from various networks, sometimes it can be effective to go to conferences like Affiliate
Summit, or AdTech and make sure that you talk to people. Also, lots of affiliate managers and network
owners are members of the PPVPlaybook.com forum and WickedFire. Sometimes just getting to know
people can open a lot of doors as far as networks are concerned.
After You Join a CPA Network
Once you're a member of a CPA Network, it's a really good idea to reach out to your affiliate manager

Set Up Web Hosting
' B5 S! @- w' B' k; bGetting an internet hosting account is beyond the scope of this guide, but a few things need to be said
about internet hosting. In general, you get what you pay for with hosting. When you use a shared
  l. }% R6 Z$ Y+ k  t1 rhost for PPV traffic, you are putting yourself at huge risk because your bandwidth is shared with
" T" `2 R) }' q$ Swhoever else is on the same server as you.
6 [% ^* r! b1 QSpeed is the name of the game in PPV traffic. Your offers and landing pages need to pop up fast
enough that the visitor can't close the window before your pop up is even shown. You have about 3
seconds before the user can get that window shut. If your offer doesn't show in that time, tough luck.
To explain the difference between types of hosting packages, picture a refrigerator (the server) in a
house full of roommates (hosting customers).
! z3 W. J$ i$ a( [: w% `In shared hosting, this is like having roommates where everyone has no specific designated area inside
the fridge where they are supposed to put their food. Everyone just jams their food in however it will
2 f* J3 e7 d5 {: g, Qfit.
* g6 F# r- e" `9 i2 i& hSay your roommate brings home a large turkey. They will then take up more of the refrigerator than
the rest of the roommates, by virtue of simply needing more space and resources to accommodate
: \: ]# B! K* {2 R3 t. ptheir food. Everyone else's food in the house has less space to take advantage of.
If you have less server resources to take advantage of, your ability to serve popups will slow down. For
any type of hosting this is a bad thing, and especially while running PPV traffic.
In the case of a virtual private server (VPS), everyone in the house has their own designated space
* f' ]  t( l  K$ l! w% k$ s& q! tinside the fridge to put their food, and other roommates can't come into that space. The server is
partitioned, so that each customer can only use a specific amount of resources at any given time.
& `/ l2 x' Z) w, t* u+ YA dedicated server would be like having the whole fridge to yourself. All of the server's resources
belong to you and no one else can use up those resources. This makes it possible to serve much more
traffic, faster.
1 k' y' z$ }) ?& |7 b! m3 o. zAt the very minimum, you need a VPS to run PPV traffic, and at higher volumes, a dedicated server.

With BeyondHosting, your VPS can come preloaded with either Prosper202 or CPVLab (with payment

Domain Names for PPV
/ X8 Q9 i" J6 d8 C; p; n/ Y/ \Once you buy your hosting it's time to also buy a domain name and get it on your hosting. This is
where you're going to host your tracking software and your landing pages if you decide to make them.
Oftentimes people wonder if they should have a specific domain name or a generic one. One generic,
# `* @" M, \; r) m  U  {: Rbland one is fine to start with, to host both your landing pages and tracking software. The .com,
.net, .org extension doesn't really matter, this isn't a domain we're going to try to use to SEO rank for a

5 C5 |  v7 T9 v- FAfter you buy hosting, a domain and get those all attached to each other, the next step is to install
tracking software on your domain. This is really important, because it is necessary to track your
2 t9 `0 H$ A' ]. pconversions down to keyword level so that you can optimize your campaigns. Without proper
tracking, it is impossible to know what is working and what isn't.
To do this, first set up either Prosper202 or CPV Lab on your hosting account. Setting up the software

Choose An Offer
Now, we're going to go to the CPA Network that we joined and look for an offer to send PPV traffic to.
Lesson on Offer Selection

! w4 V$ W+ d: {. [* iIn that lesson, David explains how to choose an offer in Neverblue, and some criteria for doing so.
To explain this here, we're going to go through setting up a basic campaign in Ads4Dough using
LeadImpact as the traffic source.

# f/ }9 [3 @3 v7 q$ t4 dthat all traffic is accepted.
First, I log into Ads4Dough and click on Campaigns, then Email/Zip submits.
