So, you’ve decided to venture into affiliate marketing, purchased access to the forum, and now you’re feeling overwhelmed by the wealth of information. If you’ve been browsing for beginner tutorials or tips on starting in affiliate marketing and stumbled upon this thread, you’re in the right place. As you already know, Zeropark is a premium traffic source offering a variety of ad formats. Let me guide you through your first steps.
1. Choosing an Affiliate Offer
The first step in your affiliate marketing journey is finding an affiliate network. These networks connect companies with products/services they want to promote with affiliates who will do the promoting. For this guide, we will use ClickDealer as an example. You can register [here](https://www.clickdealer.com) if you’d like to follow along.
Once registered, head to the offer tab and explore the search filters.
Key Terms:
– Countries and Platforms: Specify where and on what devices your ads will be displayed.
– Vertical: The category your offer falls into.
– Price Format: What you get paid for:
– CPA (Cost Per Action): Paid per conversion.
– CPC (Cost Per Click): Paid per click on your ad.
– RevShare: Earn a percentage of each payment made by the converted user (more suitable for experienced affiliates).
Success depends on many variables, starting with the offer itself. Remember, real people are clicking on your ads, so results can be unpredictable.
What GEOs and Verticals Should You Start With?
– Regions: Start with Europe, Southeast Asia (SEA), and Latin America (LATAM). These regions are relatively cheap and easier to optimize.
– Tier 3 Countries: Less saturated, easier conversions, but smaller traffic volume. You may need translations for suitable landers.
– Tier 1 Countries: More expensive and competitive but offer greater earning potential.
– Verticals: Begin with surveys & sweeps offers, commonly found under lead generation and vouchers verticals. These offers convert well, have a low cost of entry, and often come with pre-built pre-landers.
Avoid crypto, sports betting, binary, and online gambling offers as they are expensive to run and have complex conversion processes, making them unsuitable for beginners.
Low Payout vs. High Payout Offers (SOI vs. DOI)
– Low Payout Offers (Single Opt-In – SOI): Users complete only one step (e.g., entering their email). Easy conversions, low payouts.
– High Payout Offers (Double Opt-In – DOI): Users must confirm their email. Harder to convert, higher payouts.
User Willingness: Economic status impacts conversion likelihood. Simple offers suit less developed (tier 3) countries, while offers requiring purchases suit more developed (tier 1) countries.
As a beginner, stick to low (up to $25) to medium ($25-$50) payout offers.
Push Subscription Collection
Push subscription collection is a trending topic in affiliate marketing. Once you gain some experience, you might want to add a piece of code or a fallback landing page to collect subscriptions for your own use or to sell. Some offers are designed solely for collecting subscriptions, often with low payouts or based on the RevShare model.
How It Works: Users see a page with a pop-up asking if they want to receive push notifications. If they click “allow,” they’re added to a subscription base and consent to receiving offers through push notifications.
By following these steps, you’ll be well on your way to starting your affiliate marketing journey with Zeropark.
