Friday Podcast: Becoming An Affiliate Marketing Success With Brandon Adcock June 20, 2009
Posted by Andrew Wee in : podcasts , trackback
Brandon Adcock, better known by his online moniker MajorBTA came on the Friday Podcast to share his insights on starting out and becoming a successful affiliate.
Like successful affiliate Dr Ngo (AKA Charles Ngo), Brandon got his start managing the SEM (search engine marketing) operations for a major retailer and had insight into the workings of traffic and lead generation.
He’s had more than his share of challenges and obstacles along the way to his current level of success and during the Friday Podcast, he talked about:
- How he started promoting credit card affiliate offers and how he dealt with challenges when the programs started imploding
- How he encountered a series of failures when he started promoting weight loss CPA offers and the platform where he managed to hit his first $1,000 day.
- What you should do to research an affiliate/CPA offer before you start promoting it to increase your chances of success
- Advice for new affiliates starting out
There’re quite a few nuggets of information for new and experienced affiliates which you can check out at the link below:

I usually never take the time to listen to podcasts but this was pretty interesting. A few good nuggets for somebody like me. My situation is kinda similar to to what Brandon’s was. Ran huge campaigns for my employer, been doing client work for quite some time. Known mostly for my SEO and PPC skills. Just recently started focusing on AM. So it’s good to see somebody else come from a similar background doing so well.
I’ll get there. Takes a lot of work in this stage. I know what that “ON your own” feeling is like. I have at least one good AM helping me a bit here and there which helps, but nothing like having a bunch of buddies who currently are owning the web. But if any of you AM bad asses ever wants to school me, I’m open!
Heya Hooley-meister,
Great to hear that things are moving along for you.
Perhaps we’ll have a chance to meet at one of the Affiliate Summits?
Networking and partying (not necessarily in that order) with the big guns is always fun.
Brandon’s definitely a big player. It’s nice to hear what his game is all about.
Thanks Andrew, I had just started reading Brandon’s blog, it’s great that you’ve had him on. Always enjoy your podcasts.
@Hooley, I know what you mean man. For new starters, this is a tough game. Keep grindin’
Always great when affiliates provide some insight into their business for the newbies. I’m going to have to steal some of your podcast guests for MLTV!
