Traffic Blackbook
What will Traffic Blackbook cost?
This course is $47 and is well worth it because of the sheer amount of content that you will get. In pre launch tests, this product had an impressive refund rate of only 4%. There’s nothing more telling than customer satisfaction and refund rate is an undeniable statistic to give us this information.
The best thing I like about this course (other than the quality content) is Chad’s teaching style. He is motivational, matter-of-fact and straight to the point. The methods he teachings are not taught very much because so many people are caught up in “free” traffic (SEO). But Chad will teach you how to to wisely implement paid traffic sources such as Facebook
What will you get?
The course is broken down into several modules which are as follows:
Module 1 – The Initiation
This module consists of three videos, the first two of which are about 30 minutes long. In video one, Chad goes over who he is, gives some background about himself and how he got started. In the second video, Chad presents a case study. This is really cool because he goes into a lot of detail and give a ton of little tips about how to go about creating a successful campaign. The third video begins with the question “So What Now” where he gives advice on how to get started. He’ll tell you that you should pick one traffic source to master first, stick with it and leave the all-important diversification until later. Don’t try to be a jack-of-all trades right off the bat.

Get Approved by Any CPA Network With These Tips
Network marketing professionals are well aware that CPA marketing is getting more popular every day. You’re about to learn all about getting approved by CPA networks, because it’s often not that easy.
There is one thing that is going to determine whether or not the CPA network approves you. Two words: your website. If there is no website, you’re not likely to get approved because CPA networks only want affiliates who have websites tailored around a specific subject. Affiliates just starting out are very susceptible to doing this and thus most of them are rejected. There are many ways to get a professional looking website or blog, and it’s best to start right now if you’re serious about getting approved. You will have to register a domain name and you’ll also have to host it, which might set you back a few bucks. A great tip to use is to create your website so that it syncs with any of the promotions you’re running. It’s common knowledge that networks include a section where you can find dating offers. So all you need to do is get a professional looking website or blog and then put some content on there about dating. Wait until your website looks good enough to pass judgment by the affiliate manager and then send in your application. The CPA manager is going to inquire as to what offers you are looking to run, and when this happens, your answer should be, “Anything that converts.” Once you’re approved, you can promote in any area you want, not just dating. You only made a site about dating because you are interested in being approved. Once the manager approves you, you are free to go after any offers you think will make you money.
Expect the application to inquire about your use of email marketing when promoting things online. Really think about this, as you’ll want to be sure that you really do use email marketing in your promotional efforts. If you aren’t confident, leave the option alone as checking it will only make the application process more difficult. If you do select that option, you will be asked about it, as affiliate managers are very careful when they go through applications. Therefore, you’d better have answers ready.
As soon as you apply for a CPA network, you will be receiving a confirmation email from the affiliate manager. It’s not uncommon for the affiliate manager to include some more questions on that email he expects you to answer. But know that most networks will actually call you rather than email you. Not taking that phone call from the affiliate manager is a huge mistake a lot of applicants make that causes them to get rejected, and they may have all the correct answers. If you don’t take that call, expect to be rejected since it shows a lack of commitment and an inability to take business matters seriously.
If you happen to have a situation where you can’t answer the call, simply call back and explain what happened and let the affiliate manager know you’re ready to do business.
You should know that CPA marketing can be very lucrative, but first you must finish the task of getting a CPA network to accept you.
