Uggh.. I will start by saying I’m sort of pumped about this but then again, for anyone that followed my old blog and the last CPA Marketing Series, I can tell you that a lot of people do not take the time and really think about what it takes to put forth such content. After that series was over I was drained. I got slapped in the face with all sorts of ventures and projects and I can tell you right now that being a “Make Money Online” or a “personal type blogger” was really not the route I wanted to take. I felt I needed something different and while blogging here may seem no different to you as a reader, I assure you that in the coming months you will probably really understand why I am here and no longer there.

Anyway…

Not a lot of education out there fellas (and ladies of course) on Media Buys and general web advertising. I can tell you that the second you get into an Affiliate Marketing forum, you are usually overwhelmed with the ideas of SEO, PPC or creating ebooks (if you are in a shitty forum..hint Warrior). Well, I am not here to rag on any one forum for possibly overlooking and hardly discussing one of the EASIEST ways to get started making money online. I’m not even going to sit here and discuss how to use this in making money online in general terms. One of the biggest reasons I blog here is because I deal STRICTLY in the CPA Lead Generation business. You might see me talk about a few cost per sale items, but it will be few and far between. That’s not to say that this wont work for cost per sale items, because it can and it does. However, if I were to tell you any of the following relating to cost per sale items, I would be lying to you because the truth is that I have only marketed lead gen offers via media placements.

Allen has asked a couple of questions in regard to the media buy post yesterday. I have responded Allen and anyone else that may have questions, let’s keep it going in the forum. I think a much needed Media Buying guide is in order here. I received about 5 emails thru the day today. I’m sorry I have not responded to those but hopefully the forum response helps. We will keep this going and a very detailed process of my own is on the way.

The first post starts tomorrow and I can tell you that the entire thing is probably going to take until November to explain. We are going to cover all the bases needed for those interested in buying advertising on other sites and a lot of tips so that you are successful right out of the gate.

It’s scary to think the uneducated affiliates out there who are either banking enough to live on or just struggling to get the hang of how to get traffic to offers. Let me start off by saying that there is a TON of choices of how to get traffic but only very few are even spoken of. Buying Media Placements can be a dead simple way of successfully promoting offers without the knowledge of even building a website. Far too many people take the Search Engine route and I can tell you that it takes a tremendous amount of patience, tolerance, testing, tweaking and capital to make it worth your while. If your an affiliate earning a few hundred dollars a day and are happy with it, then this post is not for you. I am trying to tap into the minds of those who are serious about money and serious on testing alternative methods that can actually replace your current ones.

Now you are probably expecting me to throw a bone here on some information but the truth of the matter is that nobody and I mean nobody could even begin to explain such methods. Join us in the Web and Banner Advertising Section of the Affiliate Training Center and start participating in discussions and asking questions.
