Variations to this method

[|Olly|]

Hey, just signed up here (great forum by the way :bowdown

A week ago I signed up to CJ and started getting into affiliate stuff and started by posting a few "dating" ads on a classifieds site, getting lonely horny perverts to email me if they were looking for fun etc and having the GMail auto response sending them my affiliate link telling them to sign up so we could chat etc.

Well, in the first 4-5 days I got around £140 but it's slowed right down and I was wondering if anyone does any similar things, because I honestly find it a damn funny and good way to get sign ups.

Thanks.

Nope, you're onto something completely new.

/edit/ just realized this is the newbie section and not Shooting the Shit.

Anyhow, what you are doing is an old trick. Nothing new. The only downside is constantly creating new profiles, new emails, etc. etc.

You're a fucken genious. I think this is the best thing since Mr. Zig Zag invented rolling papers for smoking weed. Thanks for the tip!

The method in various forms is used - only thing is the overhead in creating new profiles, not getting banned etc on the sites you post on. Your one is a bit old but as you found out can still work (though some psycho tracking you down maybe a bit of a bother )

Some go the "helpful" method way rather than the bait method you use for eg. They post on Craigslist or Yahoo Answers and put in advice that is relevant to the product/service they promoting and then putting in a link to their landing page. If the advice is good enough, you can probably escape the spam deletions.

Craiglist example would be someone directing a Craigslist poster who was looking for a large property in Florida to an Ebay link (aff of course) saying here is a property that seems to be what you are after; or alternatively sending them to an AuctionAds page which has Florida Real Estate auctions. You can make some good money here if they do end up bidding and winning - have to work on probabilities though as to what items are more likely to be bid on and won.

So there you go.

Why don't you leave a guy some fun,,..

He could think about it and find some new methods of getting more signups and not just asking here for old-school techniques
