Setting up a new affiliate marketing campaign might look easy to an outsider; they think, throw it up on a traffic source, optimize, profit BIG right?

I’m sure you agree; what they don’t realize is all the stuff that goes into launching a campaign; hell it’s made up of soooo many steps, requiring so much knowledge and experience that no wonder, most who try fail at this affiliate marketing game.

Million dollar per year campaigns can be made, but it requires systems. Charles Ngo talks about systems, all the time because he’s right – that IS the key to success.

So let me share with you my system and process of launching campaigns…a system made up of many steps…

Today we live in a very competitive time, where new affiliates are jumping in each day stealing our campaigns, it really is coming down to survival of the fittest.

That means, we need to be on our toes, launch more campaigns faster, and with bigger budgets.

This might sound impossible, especially if you are one man show, but with good organization and a few virtual assistants you can solve it – and I will teach you how easily really.

As My internal team grew it was time to get shit organized, so we could do more projects at the same time and not get lost in all the TO DOs.

We started using a tool that can help delegate tasks better, and also track how much each part of the project costs. To stay on budget, and on time.

There’s a shitload of tools out there to manage projects, unfortunately most seem to focus on freelancers where they charge by hours worked, and don’t offer the option to track all the little expense pieces that go into every campaign. Anyway…

Here’s the golden giveaway, my typical campaign process for a health campaign that is broken into tasks in my project management tool:

1. Come up with angles (anglesaurus)
2. Order landing pages (bannerslanders)
3. Order banner or click bait fb images (bannerslanders)
4. Order new safe site for cloaking (bannerslanders)
5. Buy a domain name (namecheap)
6. Buy a new hosting package with unique IP (bluehost)
7. Setup the domain on the host (bluehost)
8. Get link from CPA Network (Adcombo)
9. Create campaign in tracker (voluum)
10. Create new campaign in cloaker
11. Setup cloaker code in safepage
12. Grab the FB Pixel and or Adwords Pixels – establish different events in code
13. Place the pixels in the safe site / landing pages
14. Place the pixel with tne CPA network
15. Test the flow with cloaker off/on
16. Create campaign on Facebook or Adwords
17. Wait for approval, and note down once approved – also note down if disapproved – solve issue
18. Monitor voluum making sure clicks are coming in
19. Monitor facebook and/or adwords pixel to see if its tracking properly and sending data back
20. Look at the data, optimize as needed by stopping adsets/adgroups
21. Increase budgets when there’s statistically significant data and SCALE $$$

This is a LOT to keep in your head, it’s a shit ton of post it notes on someone’s monitor.

Every element has a price, usually an estimated budget, and an actual cost. For example, when registering domains you can save some bucks by using coupons, so even though budget is $10 lets say, you can sometimes come in at $5 which is awesome.

With the project management tool we use now, the costs associated with each task in the project can be tracked, and it automatically ads it up.

Another awesome feature it has is TEMPLATING. So you can create a typical project flow, like I’ve listed above and save it in templates.

Let’s say we want to launch a SKIN campaign in US,UK,CA we can duplicate the template 3x, rename it so it looks like this

US Skin
CA Skin
UK Skin

and open each, then delegate all the tasks to our VAs and ourselves. And set deadlines, plus save all the required files, and/or login info all in one place so it’s easy to keep track of. And keep tabs on our budget, and or expenses.

NOTHING will be missed, everything will be done fast, and you will end up doing more in the same ammount of time than before. Very important, especially now when everyone wants to be an affiliate marketer so competition is fierce.

This awesome project management tool is FREE for 14 days, so try it here and experience it yourself to understand WHY I LOVE IT.

All right guys, there’s a lot of talk lately about landing pages, how to design them, what to put on them, how to make them convert, ya dee ya duh!

Well, here are some elements that in my experience can have a drastic positive impact on your landing page CTR & CR (and/or BOTH).

I’m a guy who is trying to keep things simple, rather than over complicate shit because to be frank, since discovering the benefits of traveling and not nerding it up introvert style on the computer 24/7 – I don’t want to waste time.

IT IS A SECRET but NOW YOU’LL KNOW – The guys who cloak make the biggest bank out there.   Why?   It is simple really,  playing by the rules will not get you high volume anymore thanks to stupid things like Google Developer Policy updates; and other rules to make it harder and harder for affiliates to make money. Affiliates have to jump on the fence to provide for their families and themselves, or face having to go back to 9-5 job.

I don’t know about you, but the last thing I want to do is go back to sell advertising in the yellowpages.  (Yup I used to be an ad consultant many years ago at YellowPages, freakin’ hated slaving at that job 8-5PM M-F .. getting up at 6 to catch the train in time downtown, then arrive home by 6:30 then rinse and repeat – Thank god for affiliate marketing!)  

Most people;  actually NO ONE talks about cloaking because they are scared for whatever reason.     Lucky for me, I live in a free country with freedom of speech,  and lucky for you because today I feel like sharing a true golden nugget that can help you fly under the radar better.
