How to make money with CPA and forums
If you are struggling to make money with affiliates then this is a method for you. It is very simple but requires some time each day to make money and gets boring very quickly. I have stopped doing this because I got bored, but for some of you this might be a good way to make a few extra dollars!
There are many forums online that have their own currency or some sort of points system installed. Usually, the points are collected by posting, creating threads, voting in polls, and exchanging them with other members for various tasks, etc.
The basic idea of this tactic is to gather points quickly. You can do that by purchasing points from other members at cheap rates (yup, there are many members willing to sell points for dirt cheap) or posting in the forums. Once you have the points, you offer them to the members of the forum. You present them with a simple task (a Pay Per Lead offer) and once completed, you donate/transfer the points.
The first thing you will need for this method is an account on an affiliate network. Here are two that I recommend :
Feel free to use any other network you are a part of.
You have to find an offer which pays somewhere between 1-5$ and requires minimal work (email/zip submits are quite good). After you find an offer to promote it is time to move on to the forums.
Here are the best forums I know of.
Sign up at those forums and start posting to gain some points. You should check the market place and try to work out the value of points on that forum, every forum is different. If you are to lazy to post, and don’t mind spending some money, you can buy points off people (if they are selling them). After you have a fair amount of points you can either advertise your offer in you signature , make a new thread showing off your offer or both(recommended)!
Signature:
Just change your signature to something like :
Giving away X points. PM me for details.
Make it centered, bold, change the color etc etc. Try and make it stand out. If you are posting on the forum to get points, and not buying them, then your signature will get lots of exposure and you will get lots of PM’s.
New Thread:
You should also make a new thread advertising your offer.
The title should be something like :
Earn a quick 30 points.
And the body should be something along these lines:
Hi there. I am paying 30 points to anyone who completes a
quick and easy signup/survey. Follow this link (your affiliate
link or cloaked link) and PM me with your username/email. I’ll
verify and send over the points to you.
I usually give each person a URL with a different tracking code to make it easier to check if they completed the offer. After you verified that they have completed it just transfer them the points.
Volia, you are done. This method will probably get boring very quick, but will make you a few extra $100’s every month as long as you put in the time and effort. This is another way to make money without spending a dime (as long as you post to get the points and not buy them).

Hi Everyone,

know what I have to do the get it to show up in a search. Right now it’s somewhere in the yahoo/google netherworld (LOL).
Is there someone on here that can give me some insight or know of anyone that coud give me insight on how I can get my local website on the front
page of a Yahoo or Google search to increase my business without it costing me 5 or 10k $$$? If so please share with me.
I thank you and my hungry over-eating children thank you.

There’s a sweet way to profit from CPA using Keywords from Google Trends. Have you explored this method?

There are forums who pay you for talking into their forum hehe, one such is ‘globalearntalk.com’
I know it’s not easy and requires patience and hardwork but it surely pays off if you devote 1-2 hours each day regularly.

Great idea and strategies. Its like a buying and selling business.

And the answer’s yes you can! the solutions to these questions are easier that you realize. Our diet incresed. You could have taken care before. Colon Cleansing Foods Overall, I’m quite happy that I decided to lose pounds. kids have a tendency to be less patient than adults so finding a weight reduction program that fits their way of life is vital. So if you are a girl, you want to lose weight using the protein and green tea solution, here is where to find it. I don’t like to exercise.

Hey ppz, I finally decided to make an account on here after months of lurking lol so please bear with me…
Since the community here is so awesome, I thought I’d share a few sites that I’ve been checking out lately and share a secret.
The first site is leetboss.com, its an awesome place to get good deals on electronics and watches. shipping’s free too (not quite sure how it works out for them but hey, thats not my problem.) so that’s a plus.
I also like going to volume rate. Prices aren’t as good as Leetboss (no free shipping, unfortunately), and some of their goods come slightly damaged because of bad packaging, but their selection is nice.
I basically use these shopping sites to make some quick cash. I go onto them and pick an item like the r4i sdhc which is really cheap. Then I post them on forums and sell them online as a drop shipper. Last month I made over $1000 in profits, as a college student the money really comes in handy.
I hope your finals all well if you have any and good luck making some quick ca$$$h.
Happy Holidays,
Barry
