Rebuilding a CPA affiliate business from scratch… April 13, 2010
Posted by Andrew Wee in : affiliate marketing , trackbackBefore heading to Affiliate Summit in Vegas this past January I paused or discontinued many campaigns. Since coming back I’ve been doing some contract work for a media organization, filing my taxes (about a year’s worth of filing in the last 2 weeks) and along the way I’m about 90% recovered from my tendonitis (since Jan) with a steroid shot about 2 weeks back, and my badly sprained ankle is slightly swollen but I’m able to walk now (bike rides might be a month or two away).
So firing up my campaigns again, here’s what I’m working with:
I’ve shortlised a group of 6 CPA networks that I’m planning to work with. Why 6? For the range of offers and having enough options to load into an offer rotater.
The traffic sources? Probably a combination of PPC (tier-1 and tier2) and PPV networks. Although media buys seem to be really hot, I’m holding off for now.
I’ve been helping a friend who does really well with direct linking on a pretty massive scale, so I’ll try some of that out too, especially on the risk management and cashflow management front.
There’s still a couple of other facebook-related projects I’m working on with partners that will likely take up a fair bit of time/capital, so that will probably take the place of the tax filing which had been a major timesuck.
Else, everything situation normal, all fired up. (SNAFU).
How’s things going for you?
PS: I’ll likely aim to post 1-2 times a week. I noticed that my Google PR seems to have gone from a 4 to a 5.

Man Facebook has been rejecting my ads non stop since they changed their guidelines. Goodluck getting everything through. I wish they had some sort of customer service to atleast clarify why ads that adhere to all guidelines are being rejected lol.
Facebook is tricky, especially now. Your plan sounds solid, Andrew. Keep building!
Oh, and RICE (rest, ice, compress, elevate) your ankle.
I am no stranger to a sprained ankle, that’s for sure.
just set up a direct track account -> done.
