AI Summary

This video presents a free traffic method for CPA marketing in 2020, focusing on using Google My Business (GMB) listings to drive targeted traffic to CPA offers. The creator advises against traditional pay-per-call networks due to high competition and Google's restrictions, and instead recommends targeting obscure niches with search-based traffic.

[00:02]
Introduction to CPA Marketing with GMB

The video introduces a free traffic method for CPA marketing using Google My Business listings, aimed at those tired of paying for Facebook ads or struggling with traffic generation.

[00:44]
CPA Marketing is Accessible

The creator states that CPA marketing is easier than thought, requiring no experience or large capital, but emphasizes the need for a system using GMB listings.

[01:26]
Why Pay-Per-Call is Not Recommended

The creator argues that traditional pay-per-call networks like Hyper Target, Aragon Advertising, and Ring Partner are saturated with affiliates, leading to high competition and limited offers.

[03:03]
Google's Scrutiny of Locked Categories

Google pays special attention to locked categories (e.g., payday loans, CBD) to protect users from spam, meaning GMB listings in these niches are likely to be suspended or ghosted.

[03:30]
Competition is Fierce

The pay-per-call space is described as 'dog-eat-dog', with competitors willing to sabotage rankings, making it a difficult environment for sustainable success.

[04:23]
Shift to Obscure Niches

Given Google's restrictions, the creator suggests moving to more obscure niches, using MaxBounty as an example of a network with hundreds of offers across various categories.

[05:21]
Selecting Offers with Good Payouts

The creator prefers offers paying $10-$100+, avoiding low-payout offers ($2/lead) as they yield poor EPC. For example, a $64 payout with 50-100 clicks gives an EPC of $0.64-$1.28.

[06:35]
Search Traffic is Highly Targeted

Search traffic is emphasized as one of the most targeted sources because users type specific keywords, indicating high intent, which converts well.

[07:13]
Keyword Targeting Strategy

The creator suggests targeting keywords like 'bingo city', 'sports betting city', and 'gaming city' to rank GMB listings, allowing for volume traffic and multi-country targeting.

[08:04]
Checking Allowed Traffic Sources

Before promoting an offer, verify that search traffic is allowed. Some offers only accept display, Facebook, or native traffic, so this is crucial for the GMB strategy.

[09:38]
Building Tracking Links

The process involves clicking 'Build Tracking Link', selecting 'Search Traffic', and copying the generated link for use in campaigns.

[10:09]
Understanding Offer Conversion Details

Read the offer description to know when conversions fire. For example, an offer converts on a minimum $20 deposit for users 21+, meaning you only get paid after that action.

[10:47]
Testing Multiple Offers

Always test 2-3 offers in the same niche to find the top converter before building organic listings, ensuring you have a proven offer.

[11:15]
Example: Ranking for Local Keywords

Using Toronto as an example, ranking for terms like 'bingo toronto' can place your listings prominently, capturing high-intent local search traffic.

[12:13]
Using OfferWorld for Alternative Offers

If a network lacks suitable offers, use OfferWorld to find offers by category and country, ensuring they allow your traffic source and geographic targets.

[13:05]
Due Diligence on Networks

Research any CPA network before signing up to ensure reliability and competence, avoiding potential scams or poor payment practices.

The video concludes by reinforcing that using GMB listings to target obscure niches with search traffic is a viable, low-cost CPA marketing strategy for 2020, provided you select the right offers and conduct proper research.

[00:02] on the best cpa marketing free traffic method for the year 2020. we're going to be talking about cpa offers and google my business listings in case you struggled with generating traffic to your cpa offers or are tired

[00:16] of paying a ton of money to facebook this video will show you a pain-free method that you can start monetizing

[00:29] immediately [Music] channel and want to learn how i make a fortune online click the subscribe button right below this video now

[00:44] making money with cpa marketing is much easier than you think you can start earning real money today you don't need experience or a lot of money to start but what you need is a system using google my business listings

[00:57] your cpa offers is one of the least utilized methods out there method this is great news for you i'll show you which niches to avoid which niches to build campaigns for

[01:12] which countries to avoid which countries to target literally everything that i consider before building a cpa campaign all right i'm logged into my hyper target account

[01:26] believe that going down the traditional pay-per-call path is no longer a valid strategy and i'm gonna give you two reasons why i think that is the case but first of all

[01:40] let me tell you that pay-per-call networks like hyper target marketing aragon advertising ring partner it's just that there aren't that many big pay-per-call networks and there's so

[01:52] many ppl marketers affiliates looking to promote ppl offers that it's almost unavoidable that those people will end up choosing the same offers using the same traffic sources

[02:04] and as you can see here there's not a ton of offers on this particular pay-per-call network and as you can see i mean we have like maybe 15 actually only 12 offers right now so offers are being taken off sometimes new

[02:19] offers are being added but the whole point is that all the categories that you see here like payday loans cbd electricians health insurance locksmith personal loans plumbing roofers student loan

[02:34] consolidation attorneys water damage restoration you're not the only person who has access to these offers in fact there's that have access to the same offers and they're probably using the same traffic

[02:49] source as well and let me give you two more reasons why i think i'm choosing pay-per-call offers is not the strategy to choose for the year 2020 reason one

[03:03] google pays special attention to locked categories protecting users from potential spam this means your keyword optimized gmb's will soon be spotted and taken off the map results by google

[03:16] itself and google may suspend disable or ghost your listings and this is really true for locked categories for overly spammed categories reason two talking about locked

[03:30] it's a dog-eat-dog business meaning your competition will do everything and anything to take your rankings away from you still fail in the end just because someone is willing to do

[03:45] anything to make your life tough as hell nothing can be done about i'm not going to elaborate on how you can take down a listing so you can take a competitor spot simply because i believe in fair play

[03:58] and that's not one of the practices i would recommend anyone to implement with that said everyone has access to these offers like i'm not the only person who has access to these offers anyone registering at hyper target

[04:11] marketing or aragon advertising a ring partner has pretty much access to the same verticals to the same and now that google made it really difficult to get

[04:23] listings approved for these categories i think it makes even more sense than ever think it makes even more sense than ever to start going into more obscure niches i'm logged into my maxbounty account and i'm now going to show you

[04:36] some offers that i would personally promote and this is going to be a great using to make money with cpa marketing with cost production really now being logged into my account you can

[04:53] max bounty has a ton of offers like hundreds of offers in hundreds of offers in different categories so nobody can say i don't know what to do based on the fact that max penalty has

[05:07] that many offers i think that the competition will still be there but at the same time it's not like hundreds of people trying to compete with you

[05:21] with that said let's have a look at the gaming category only has 14 offers in this category it's not a whole lot so if you want to go ahead with gaming then

[05:36] offers and start promoting some of them as you we have a total of 14 offers and what i like to look at is the payout so i like 15 bucks that's the minimum for me personally i

[05:53] know there are people that make it work with lower payout but i personally prefer offers that pay anywhere from 10 to 100 plus that's me personally i wouldn't promote anything that just pays two dollars per lead because you're

[06:07] to generate a lead and even if you get a conversion in or ten clicks your epc is still bad it's so low so not really worth it in my opinion but let's just say that you get 50

[06:23] clicks to this offer or even 100 clicks and you get a those 50 or 100 clicks then your epc would be would be anywhere from 64 cents all the way up to

[06:35] a dollar 28 so that's a lot better for me the good one of the most targeted traffic sources that you can use simply because your traffic is based on search intent

[06:49] meaning that a person will go on google and type a keyword phrase into the search engine in the hope to find information on that that's very important and a lot of people don't know that so

[07:01] people don't know that so search traffic converts very well and what i would do here and this is just me like thinking out loud i personally am not doing this right now but what you could do

[07:13] is you could target keywords like bingo city city sports betting city gaming city and you can pretty much promote any of the offers here

[07:25] just make sure that you are in the right country like this offer accepts us uk and canada traffic here we have us canada and australia traffic canada and australia traffic and by ranking your listings

[07:38] for different keywords you can pick up a good amount of traffic you can pick up volume traffic and you can target multiple countries as well so i would recommend doing that and

[07:50] that's the average earnings per click now the thing is that i think that this here the information that max bound to give you is not always accurate and even if it was accurate i

[08:04] here you can see the allowed traffic sources conversion see that for instance for this offer they accept display

[08:18] for this offer they accept display search facebook and native traffic applying for any offer and before even buttering doing research to promote except search traffic here you can see

[08:33] all of them pretty much accept search traffic but not the two here so this one does not accept search traffic and this one also doesn't accept search traffic now this is uh pretty interesting and

[08:47] what you can do next is you can simply let's just say we want to promote this one inter top sports betting so you would go in here and you can see the payout again you can see the allowed traffic types

[09:00] so make sure that search traffic is allowed and you can see that my status is proved simply because i have generated money have generated conversions

[09:12] with this network if you're new to this network then maybe this offer won't show as approved yet and you have to submit your approval request stating which traffic sources you will use

[09:25] how you will promote the offer and probably also you and i just want to know more information from you basically here you can see that this is enabled

[09:38] let's just say i would go ahead and i would just click on build tracking link sending search traffic and then i would just link and here it is right you can just copy paste it and you're pretty much

[09:54] good to go so what you want to do as well is to make sure that there's not much competition for these offers another thing i wanted is to make sure that you read the description so you're not going to be

[10:09] disappointed in case you don't get conversions point the offer converts at what point the conversion pixel fires and as you can see here it says offer

[10:22] converts on minimum 20 deposit and for people that are 21 or older so this means that if you just referred a person they opened an account you are not going to get credited for it

[10:35] yet until that person has deposited at least into the account and then you would get paid the 64 paid the 64 conversion so make sure you consider all

[10:47] and obviously you can also test offers and you should always test offers to you actually have the top converting offer for your traffic so what i like to do is i would like at least two to three offers

[11:01] least two to three offers for the same category the same niche even start promoting it before i even worry about building organic search listings and this is a great way to make

[11:15] money with cpa marketing with affiliate marketing and i want to give you an example here let's say a person from toronto searches for bingo toronto and your listings and your properties could

[11:30] be right here so by ranking for these terms and by the way this is just one of the potential keywords that you can be using that you can be targeting and there is like dozens of keywords

[11:46] would come to mind here for instance sports betting toronto sports betting toronto or gaming toronto gaming opportunities and so forth so you want to do a good job analyzing your

[12:00] keywords analyzing your competition and making sure that you have a couple of offers in place before you start promoting right network for a gaming promotion simply because

[12:13] they don't have enough offers or you don't like the payout or maybe they don't have offers for your targeted geographic locations then i would just go onto off the world and find offers

[12:27] within the areas i'm looking to target we are now on offerworld.com and i have done a search for gaming as a category and i have selected canada as a country

[12:39] and as you can see here we have a ton of offers that we can promote and you just want to make sure that it is allowed for your targeted geographic locations and most importantly your traffic source

[12:51] here and you can take a look at the network and another thing that i advise you to do is to do some research on the network prior to signing up so make sure that you do your due

[13:05] diligence before registering at any cpa affiliate network just to make sure that you are working with a reliable you are working with a reliable with a competent network i hope you

[13:18] enjoyed this video on the best cpa marketing free traffic method for the year 2020 and i hope the advice that i gave you is create listings is going to help you find cpa
