Strategic Marketing At Warp Speed

I have said plenty of times that I was going to get shirts made up. I finally did! And good ol’ Logan Thompson happened to be the first to try one on. I haven’t even worn one yet… Lucky punk.

Anyways, several of the shirts have gone out in the mail to people already, and more will be going out on Monday.  I’ll be holding contests for the rest of the shirts and maybe I’ll print up another batch for ASE!

Anyways, Thank you guys for keeping Cashtactics alive and being apart of our great community.  We really appreciate all of your comments and for helping out in the members forum.

In this day and age, one of the most crucial tasks for any business is to stand-out among the immense market competition. Therefore, businesses have to make extra efforts in order to create a unique brand image in the mind of prospective customer.

When we talk about image building, a great logo can help business to create a positive image, while a poorly designed logo can bring a negative impression about a company and its product/service. For many companies, a logo is the only identifiable mark a potential customer may ever see, so it needs to be memorable, describable, and easily recognizable.

The overall design of a company’s logo is crucial to its success. There are hundreds of business logos that have been overlooked or quickly turned away due to nothing more than appearance. When a logo lack in proper designing, it can actually lose a potential customer. When an individual first time sees your business logo that is poorly designed, he is not likely to do a business with you. This is especially true if the logo fails to portray the right image and purpose of a business to the prospect. Hence, as a business owner, be sure to put some time and effort into overall logo design.

Getting a suitable logo may be a daunting task, but it is this crucial initial investment that will ensure your company’s success in a long-run. You should start off by brainstorming about the image your company represents, or the message you want to convey to the public. This will help you to develop a perfect branding tool that will create a strong brand positioning in the mind of a customer.

Not that anyone cares… but here is a little run down of what I like to see or receive from an affiliate/CPA network. This is just my biased opinion and in all honesty I’m sure you will agree with some of these and there are some you might not agree with. Please leave a comment at the bottom and let me know what other things you like to see from your CPA networks.

• I like to see my stats… Now this is an obvious… But I mean I like to see them right when I log in.  A nice graphical image or just the raw numbers.  When I log in I don’t want to hunt around for my stats I just want them to be there.
• I like to see the hot offers.  Maybe even some additional information for those offers (payout, epc, conversion rate).  If I know something converts for someone out there, then I can make it convert for me. Seeing what offers are hot is ESSENTIAL in time saving! Even if I don’t want to run in a specific niche I still like to take a look at whats hot.
• I like to see a list of new offers. Some of my best converters have been new offers to a network.  Most networks aren’t going to add any old offer.  Chances are they are going to add offers that they feel will convert or offers that another affiliate has requested because they made a profit with it from another network.  New offers can be little gold mines!

Yeah you heard that. I didn’t jump on this launch like I should have. This product is going to kill you in your sleep. Its that deadly. I kid you not. There have been so many upgrades since the original PPC Bully launched. This product is 100 times better!

So Here is the deal. There is only 49 copies left at the current time (48 now that I grabbed my copy). So by tomorrow all of the copies are going to be gone. I’m not saying this as a “scare” tactic I’m letting you know the truth.

Here is what I am offering to you. Most of the people promoting this are promising you more eBooks to add to your ever growing collection. I am going to offer you the commission I would have earned from you. I’m not going to lie. The commission is at 50% of the first sale and 25% of all the up sells combined. So what I am going to do is give you $600 back for purchasing through me… Not another eBook…

I shouldn’t have to explain to you what PPC Bully is. But in case you have been living under a rock the last few month missing PPC Bully 1 and the last few weeks missing PPC Bully 2 pre-launch then let me give you a brief run down of what this tool is.

It is… Simply put… A gift from the PPC Gods themselves. The product allows you to effectively see what other people are bidding on. You get to see the average CPC, Network the product is from, estimated monthly search volumn, exact ad, and URL (so you can see the LP). There is even a nice little “PI” or “Profitability Index” where you can see how many days the ad has been running. This is AWESOME information to know. Chances are if someone is running an ad for 15+ days then they are making money! PPC Bully will help you find the campaigns that are making people money.

Hello ladies and gents. It’s been a while since I’ve made a post, so here I am again. This will be a rather short post, however, do not over look this lightly. I love to network with people, learning from other marketers (or business minded individuals) and by networking is how you discover potential mentors that help you succeed in your given field. Today I want to talk to you about a nifty little script that you can modify your Prosper202 software with that will allow you to see what your landing page click-through-rate is for both individual keywords and individual ad texts that you’ve got in 202.

My friend Jasper, from www.nerdyaffiliate.com had this put together and it’s something I had put on my to do list, but he beat me to it. He has pushed it on his blog at this post: 202 KW CTR Script , you can go there and read more details about it and I highly suggest implementing it immediately if you are using prosper202 for your PPC campaigns. What is the benefit of this you say?

Being able to identify which individual keywords have a poor LP CTR, will enable you to take a much faster action in improving your campaigns performance and ROI. Let me simply illustrate a way that you can see improvements by implementing this script ASAP. Keyword #1 may be getting a 43% LP CTR to the merchant offer but Keyword #5 may be getting only a 23% LP CTR to the merchant offer. Yet, you are sending the traffic from both keywords to the same exact landing page. So let’s take keyword #5 and direct it to its own LP that you’ve customized the text copy and images to directly influence that exact keyword, you will be able to test and improve upon its CTR in a whole new way. Just imagine if that keyword is breaking even or already profitable before you implement this, you can greatly increase your ROI with just a few small efforts.

So… The results are in on the winner of the contest.  Now… Unfortunately only one person crossed the $1000 minimum.  However, that being said.  Dina at MarketLeverage has allowed the 2nd and 3rd place people to also claim their prize even though they didn’t make the $1000 minimum.  Thats way exciting news, and I was more than over joyed when she told me :)

Here are the winners of the ML portion of the contest:

1. CD7964 – 24″ Flat Panel LCD Monitor by Dell
2. CD7971 – 16gb iPod Touch by Apple

Congratulations to the winners of the MarketLeverage Contest!

Hey guys. This is something I want to start doing on a monthly basis. I think its always good to reflect on how the month went. At the end of each month I would like to take sometime to post the top 5 most read posts during the month. This is excluding the members forum and will only show actual blog posts from Cashtactics. So here we go…

• Affiliate Themes.net From UBD!- This was posted back in March… Apparently people are Googling the term cause it’s bringing in traffic. This was a post written up to explain a little about affiliatethemes.net. Jump on over and check out the video if you haven’t already.
• Making Money With Torrents And P2P Networks – Some General Tips

- This thread has been around since 2007. However, it has been in the top 10 since. This is basically giving tips on making money with torrents. A must watch if you are a torrent advertiser. Remember though. Torrents are not an accepted source of traffic for your CPA offers. That being said. They are still an excellent source of traffic. I recommend this video to anyone. Watch the whole thing. If it doesn’t load the first time just refresh the page. Towards the middle there is a pretty big torrent traffic tip!

• Response: Adding CJ Products To Kaboodle- Ruck took some time to explain placing Commission Junction products on Kaboodle. There is big money here! This video is another oldie but goodie. . If it doesn’t load… Refresh the page. These vids are hosted here and not anywhere else.
