How to Start An Ezine and Use It to Increase CPA Affiliate Leads and Conversions in 7 Steps

How to start a profitable ezine and use it to maximize your earning potential as a CPA Affiliate marketer

If you are into performance based marketing online, you must have now known the importance of getting leads, and having more leads is very necessary to build your budding career as a Cost Per Action Affiliate marketer; and to achieve this, you really need a technique that will bring results at all times,and no better technique like starting an ezine;
What are Ezines? some will ask, ezines are simply online publications sent monthly, weekly, bi-weekly or even daily to a list of subscribers to the ezine. join me below as I discuss in 7 steps on how to start a successful ezine with a large subscriber base.


  1. Research On a Topic You Know with a Large Audience
  2. Having an ezine on a topic or niche that people are not interested in could be suicidal, and it could even be more suicidal if you start an ezine on an over-crowded market where the top guns with experience, track record of success and intimidating bank account dominate; no body will sign up for you ezine since they are ezines of others who have more knowledge and more to say on the topic than you, so it is wise to go to not too over crowded markets, with a decent but not too large audience, here you can easily dominate and become an authority with your ezine. That settled you can move to the next step.
  3. Sign Up For an Auto responder and Mailing List Manager Service
  4. : For your ezine to kick off, you need to sign up for and auto responder/mailing list manager: because I don't expect you to sit down all day writing news letters to your subscribers one after the other. This could be boring and very tiresome, making the whole idea to begin an ezine silly and unnecessary: however, with an auto responder this become child's play;with an auto responder you can write and upload your publication series all at once; with intervals placed on each message, the intervals could be weekly, monthly, bi-monthly. giving you the time to do other things you love.
  5. Advertise Your Ezine To Get Subscribers/Leads
  6. : Without publicizing your ezine, no body will know about it, and if this is the case you could be on your way of quitting before you even start,to advertise there are so many places to do just that, but I'll list some very good places where you can get results;
    • Top Ezines related to the niche you write about
    • :Find out ezines related with a large subscriber base; find the advert rate for a solo mailing;when the leads starts pouring in you'll see that it is worth the spending as long as your ad is catchy and loaded with the benefits of subscribing and all that.
    • Write and Submit Articles To Directories and Ezine Publishers
    • : Article directories get inundated with articles daily, and people looking for good articles or solution to one thing or the other line up at these sites looking for good content; so if you submit a good content and a powerful resource link pointing to your landing page or sales copy for your ezine, the chances of signing up more leads and subscribers is greatly increased; on the other hand there are so many other ezine publishers with a large subscriber base and some how related to your ezine niche, looking for content for publication; submit good content related to their publication, of course with a link to your site, I wonder which ezine publisher will ignore a good content, especially if he has been hit by writer's block.
    • Use Pay Per Click
    • Though this might cost you a little, but running ppc adverts like ad words, Yahoo Publisher Network, MSN Ad center ads etc could be profitable in the long run; though you might consider running PPC adverts when your ezine have had a good number of decent subscribers.
    • Use Forums and Message Boards Related to your Ezine Publication
    • Forums are a great place to meet people with varied interest, and this makes it a very good place to advertise your new ezine: just register, create a profile, make good contributions with a link back to your site, you might never know one of your best subscribers can sign up through any of these forums
    .
  7. Start Writing and Mailing Resourceful Contents To Your Subscribers
  8. Without Good contents, your subscribers will first of all delete your mailings as spam mails, then after some time will decide to opt-out of your ezine; so make adequate research when writing, give them links to useful resources (you can insert your CPA affiliate offer here), you really need to know how to get things moving, or starting an ezine could become a wasteful venture in the long run.
  9. Fight Writer's Block By shopping For good writing Ideas Via the Following Medium
  10. Writer's block is the biggest problem of so many ezine publishers; and you'll get to find out this after some time of starting an ezine; however there are a good number of places where an ezine publisher can shop for publication ideas; the following places have proven to be good;
    1. Article directories

    2. Social Networks

    3. Blogs and Blog Directories

    4. Affiliate Directories and Affiliate Merchant Site's Market place

    5. Forums

  11. Reward Your Subscribers For Signing Up and Making Referrals
  12. May be it is time to start an Affiliate program for your ezine to reward your subscribers for signing up and making referrals, doing this will really increase your subscriber base. Reward them by telling your subscriber that if there make like five referrals who gets to sign up for your ezine, they get a free service or free e-product and more, this will make them see more reason to remain as a subscriber, and remember in marketing nothing works like magic more than a word of mouth advert; is like telling a friend to use some thing that you used and got a desired result, this friend will trust your judgment and go for what you recommended, this is how it will be when you have such a feature for your ezine.
  13. Start Selling Your Offers
  14. This is the time to start selling those CPA affiliate products and services to these subscribers, remember they are now loyal subscribers who will trust you when you say some thing is really good. Make sure you don't spam their mail box with irrelevant CPA Affiliate offers, or they won't see any more reason to remain as a subscriber, don't slap things around, because how you do things to an extent will determine if it was worth it starting an ezine, get a clue!!!

Making Money Online With CPA Affiliate Marketing

It's a fact. Many thousands of people worldwide are being laid off by their employer owing to today's global economic crisis. From big car manufacturers to small business, everyone is feeling the pinch. However there is one industry that's still booming and offers regular people, with no qualification necessary, the chance to make money working from their own house.

Some people, the hard working ones, are earning the same income that they did working the 9-5 work day. These people are leaving their jobs behind in droves and working from the comfort of their own home, on a full time basis.

So what's this industry called? Can it really be so? The industry is affiliate marketing, and yes, it can really be so.

Affiliate marketing is very simple. It rewards a marketer, commonly known as an affiliate, for promoting various products on the internet. Affiliates are paid a commission by the company whose product they are promoting, every time they refer customers to the company's website and a sale is made, or a 'lead' is generated.

Becoming an affiliate is now one of the most profitable ways to make money on the internet. The sheer scope and amount of products that can be promoted is staggering. Marketing using affiliates is an extremely cost effective way for big and small business alike to expose their products to a massive audience of potential buyers.

The industry has the potential to provide a limitless source of income for affiliates who aggressively promote products and offers of such businesses. Such affiliates have been reaping the rewards of larger profits as the industry grows and becomes ever popular. As an affiliate you can expect to earn from 30% right up to 90% of the price per sale from customers whom you refer. Some programs even offer recurring monthly payouts for their products!

Cost Per Action, or CPA marketing as it's commonly known, is a marketing system whereby affiliates earn money for simply referring visitors to a web page to fill out a short form or enter their zip code, without the necessity to make a purchase. This is fast becoming the hottest trend in affiliate marketing and sees some affiliates make $1000 plus in a single day. This new way of marketing promises to be exciting and highly profitable for years to come.

As mentioned earlier, there are no specific criteria or qualification for becoming an affiliate. You need to submit your resume. You do need to be committed and put in a good effort, and will at the same time develop skills in internet marketing, research and promoting offers.

CPA Affiliate Marketing - One of the Simplest Ways to Make Money Online

CPA affiliate marketing is a good way to start earning money online. This can be a good alternative for regular affiliate marketing.

Just join a CPA network and start making real money at home. All you need is a computer and internet connection.

I'll explain the basic rules of CPA marketing so you`ll get to know what it`s all about.

First, CPA means Cost Per Action (Or Cost per Acquisition)

With this business model you get paid when people you send to web page take action. For example, you send someone to advertisers website and they fill in their name and email. On average you get paid $1.00-$2.00 or more for simple actions like that.

In fact there are offers that pay more than $50 per action but they require more information from visitor you send. For example, They may have to participate in a survey.

In basics it's very easy to make money with CPA marketing. You send traffic to advertisers website and you get paid when people take simple actions.

The easiest way to make money with cost per action is to look for offers that require ZIP code submit. With zip submit you get paid when people fill in their zip code. Talking about easy money!

CPA affiliates usually get paid without making a sale but you should know there are also offers where you get a certain percentage of sales.

It's up to you if you want to promote offers that pay per lead or offers that pay per sale but it`s always easier to get people to submit their name and email or a zip code than to get them buy something.

How can you become CPA affiliate?

In order to become Cost per action marketer, you need to join CPA network. Once you get accepted you'll get your own affiliate manager who will help you with your campaigns. Your affiliate manager helps you to find best converting offers and provides valuable information on CPA marketing.

CPA marketing is well worth of trying if you want to make some easy money online and it requires none or very little technical knowledge.
