My first Cost Per Action Campaign!!!

[Imran Hannah]

Hi,

I've just been granted an account at two big CPA networks and I'm thinking of starting my first campaign.
Does anyone know which niche markets are hot at the moment and which are generating a lot of interest online???

I have a limited advertising budget of about $500.

well, there are a ton of hot ones. Your account manager (AM) is the best one to ask, since they see the numbers.

You may think hot is good, but it also means there is a lot more competition.

If you are competing with the bog dogs, you need to think small, and try to go for a small and very specific sub niche. Think long tail for starting out, and make sure you track properly

Apologies, sorry to say this so frankly, but....

Buying advertising is a job for pros that have significant budgets.

Pull the plug on your campaign now, before you spend any money. Hang on to your money, and invest your time in SEO.

I will respectfully disagree. If you have done your homework, it can be as good a place to start as any. It may cost a bit more to start out with then other business models, but it can also be faster to make money.

My suggestions would be to make sure you track carefully, put money in more than one niche, and dump what doesn't work quickly.

Here is a website with tons of great videos on how to do this successfully from Dan Raine, a guy who's a pro at this:

Remember, he has $500. There's not enough money to cover various niches, and to quickly learn what will work and what won't.

I agree that this can be a faster way to earn, IF you can learn how to out compete the other 19 billion people playing this lottery.

Again, according to the information given by Dan Rain in the series I referenced above, this can be done for as little as $50 successfully.

Hi there,

Thanks for your advices....

I will go for yahoo PPC because its gives a genuine lead for your business than Google and also I intend to invest some time in SEO.
Can we rely on PPC only?
What is your experience with PPC and SEO?

[Baggs]

I am not sure what others results with Yahoo are, but I found far worse results/conversions from the bought traffic than from Google adwords. I have not tried Yahoo for a while though, but would recomend that you test everything you do to see what works best

This may not help, but if you get serious about PPC, you might want to learn about a product called SpeedPCC.

www.speedppc.com/

I'm not suggesting that you buy the product just yet, as I think it goes for something like $500.

But, the site may have a forum where you could meet lots of other people who are serious about PPC. I'd really suggest doing lots of reading about PPC before getting too involved in it.

While you're doing your reading about PPC, blast away with SEO.
