OK, thanks to the advice of guys like Ruck, I’ve decided that I’m going to jump into CPA Marketing pretty hard over the next few months.
I believe I’ll be spending at least $1,000 on PPC, which might not be very much to some – and a whole lot to others… well, I’m sticking with that number because I feel safe and confident with that amount right now.
So far, I’m really liking COPEAC and Advaliant, although CPA-Empire and MaxBounty might get more use later down the road.
I know I’ve always told you (along with every one else who teaches Affiliate Marketing basics) that you should always make sure to get to know your Affiliate Manager. Well, luckily for me, my Affiliate Manager for COPEAC is one of the coolest guys I’ve met online over the past few years. He’s been very quick with replies, very thorough and just an all around great guy (Thanks, Stephen!).
So, I’ll be trying out a lot of the programs they’re running first…
Am I nervous? You betcha! If there’s one thing I don’t want to lose – it’s my hard earned money!
But, that’s why I will be testing with small amounts at first and then scaling the campaigns that seem to be possible winners.
NeverBlueAds is another good looking program, although I haven’t had much success with any campaigns over there just yet… not that I’ve been very active, either
(but I’ve been running a few tests)
I was going to try ClickBooth, but I keep hearing negative remarks about the company. I will check them out later down the road, possibly.
I will keep you updated on my findings over the next few weeks. I’ve been testing a few programs through Placement Targeting with very little luck, although I’ve had a little success with Placement Targeting and other Affiliate Programs (non-cpa).

Hey man. just one question, I know your ad spend is going to be in the $1000 range on ppc, But for that type of money why wouldn’t you just do media buys through topically related sites, on a cpm model and use torrents to distribute html files with an introduction to your product?
I’ve also on occasion have done the same with shareware sites combining a short report and a html page that opens in the browser.

Thanks for the comment!
I want to test out different markets with Placement Targeting, so I would rather not waste too much time on each project when I could do it quickly and easily with Campaign Blasts.
I’ve been reading about using Torrents quite a bit lately, but I’m not sure if I’ll be doing that any time soon.
Thanks!
