Hey,

Starting out and trying Facebook and PPC ads...

Since i am just starting out i have no idea what offers are gonna convert or not.

This is compounded by the problem that i don't know if my ads suck or not either.


I've done my best to throw a bunch of shit out there and optimize what gets clicks etc .... and i'd imagine herein lies my only solution to this....

... but how do you know when an offer just sucks?
What do you suggest staying away from as a newb?

thx
 


its called testing. unless you are psychic, most of us dont know what offers will convert great or not. You can ask your AM whats working on facebook and try that.

Anything you'd just absolutely avoid at the start?
 
Keep it simple, dont sell something that requires the user to pull out their credit card. Do email submits or revshare. just my 2 cents.

Well until you run a submit that's scrubbing your balls off...

I'd check with your AM. Lots of times networks, when you log in, they have a list of the top offers running. Chances are that's what your AM is going to tell you anyways.

Then before you start pushing a lot of volume double check that it's tracking on your end and on the networks end.
 
As a rule of thumb, I would say that 4 out of every 5 new things you try will fail, and that's talking as an already experienced and highly profitable affiliate.

Try to find either a program that's showing very high EPC's or even better, get recommended to one by an established and successful existing affiliate who is kind enough to share (a very rare beast).

As mentioned above, a pay per lead, or pay per submit, offer is always going to outperform anything that pays per sale. The less commitment you need from the visitor, the better an offer's going to convert. With many pay per sale offers, it's only possible to make money from SEO, as the payouts won't support PPC costs.

I'd also advise against using Facebook until you have proven something using Adwords - as a newbie you'll just burn through your money on FB.

The ideal situation is to have a high payout pay per lead offer that someone else has already told you is making them good money, just like we have for our members.
 
Just about everything sells IF you can get laser targeted traffic. Everything
else is like standing on the corner passing out leaflets.

If you look at the direct mail industry which is really what we are trying to do online -- there really is no junk mail just a poor mailinglist selection.

Me-- I love autoracinng and well written sales letters ( annd pussy of course, but I digress),-- so if I get an offer I'll read it and consider it
