My Affiliate Marketing Plan
Posted by JeffJun 28
So I have decided to jump in and do some CPA Affiliate Marketing. So now I need a Plan of Attack!
I have a few ideas on what “niche” and market that I am interested in getting involved in. so…
- Pick out the niche and product that I want to start targetting.
- Find an “aged” domain that has all of the properties that I am looking for, or add a sub-domain to one of my existing sites (this is the way that I am leaning for these tests).
- Pick out specific products that I am going to market.
- Start working on gathering content and keyword related articles. I am going to use a basic version of wordpress for the CMS as I have found that it works very well, and it is easy to add content to.
- Start a PPC campaign. For this I am going to start with Adwords as it is still the Cadillac network when it comes to volume of traffic.
- Refine keyword list, refine landing pages, repeat.
My goal is to break even in what ever area that I decide to get started in, however I am going to give myself a month to do this. I am also setting a $$$ limit on what I am willing to put up. I don’t want to dig myself into such a hole that nothing I can do will get me out of it.
As for timeline I am planning on having my niche, domain and products decided on this weekend. Then the landing page, contact page, about page and at least 5 other articles related to the product group published. From there it will be getting some easy links to get spidered. This will take me about a week or so. Then the PPC, this I am planning to have started by the second week of July.
I will have a series of weekly posts every Monday or Tuesday as the experiment runs its course.

Good luck, just be careful with adwords, it’s kind of like gambling and you can blow money quick. Monitor incoming / outgoing cashflow and spend accordingly. I look forward to seeing your success with it.
Thanks for the tip. I have actually “altered” my plan over the weekend. I found The Black Ink Project and have started doing the course. There is a lot of information in this so I am going to try to absorb all of that before jumping into PPC.
So instead of the second week of July I am looking at sometime in August before the PPC cash starts flowing out….and affiliate cash starts flowing IN
Sounds like a tight plan. I would recommend giving this a read: http://www.conversion-rate-experts.com/articles/101-google-website-optimizer-tips/
