Good Game Plan? (9)

Good Game Plan?

Hi, hoping to get some advice, wisdom, from some paid traffic experts here on my game plan.

I've been reading a shit load for the last month on paid traffic and cpa offers and have contacted alot of people i know who are successful in the industry.

I've also been going into massive information acquisition mode, and diving into materials from Gauher Chaudhry, Greg Davis and Jonathan Mizel.

What i have been told by alot of these experts (like Davis, and a couple other underground guys killing it) is pretty much:

Find out what's working, where it's working and run your own version in MASS MARKETs OR What Greg calls SDI - SWIPE, DEPLOY, IMPROVE
You must trust that what you see working for an extended period of time actually works.
And The other person running it successfully is running it on optimized traffic.
Theres no secrets, and its not rocket science.

Ok that makes sense. But to me, it seems it can’t be that easy. Obviously there are other variables as well.

Based on this information then, i think (hoping to get someone experienced to answer this) that most people who are not successful don't reach the point where they get to optimized traffic. They don't have enough money, and simply stop before that point.

So I was wondering whats peoples opinions about this, and if you have any recommendations for someone just starting out in paid traffic in terms of traffic sources and budget, I have a bit of money to invest into campaigns like $200-$300 a week.

I hear POF is the best for beginners, but i want something with a bit more scale and traffic volume. And not obviously saturated by beginners who bid up prices like POF.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Cheers,
Sidewalker

seems like you already have all the answers.....your a bit in "lack of action" mode....

I would def recommend POF if your brand new and with the budgets you have listed.....but if you want more scale then try your hand at FB....

this lack of scale thing when your new tbh is kinda silly....I think so many people say that before they have $1 in income rolling in....you can get to $200/day on POF if you wanted....once there take those profits and move to other traffic sources.....

pick one...commit, take action, don't give up until you make money.....its really that easy....

I hate when people use the term "killing it". Every time a n00b hears it they want to jump ship and try this new strategy or marketing. The truth is by the time someone is killing it they already invested time and money into making it work, its rare you can just swipe and kill it as well. Also, by the time you hear about guys killing it, you're already too late.

It much better to do your own thing and scale that way.

POF, 1 network, Launch Launch, Test Test, make your first $10 profit. Focus. Scale.

Id suggest PPV if your new, rather easy to convert traffic cus you can go really targeted....

Also it isnt that easy. Try it out for yourself and see. lol

I read the STM Marketing Guide - they recommend Lead Impact OR Facebook.

So ill probably go lead impact and do PPV, and get Bevo Media's Spy Tool OR blackpops

I felt punched in the face right there. Yet I couldn't agree more. A wake up call for all those looped in the never ending search for the "shiny object".

I suggest you start with the 40 day guide - linked in my sig below.

Dont listen to the guru's

Not saying the strategy is wrong

But you need to get to grips with the basics.

So do what alex suggests, follow the 40 day guide,

and FOCUS & TAKE ACTION

every day!

Start with POF or FB and get some momentum on a small campaign.

Get your ROI positive and laser target to start with and as you get more experience start broadening your targeting.

Stick with ONE OFFER that is a proven converter and has been around at least a half a year before you venture into testing uncharted territory.

With your budget you can afford to market in the US, if you budget was lower, I'd suggest going into another country and translating your ads to get cheaper clicks.

Hope that helps!
