			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you happen to know anything about CPA and Facebook, then this method should be a piece of cake to get a grasp on.  After browsing through some Facebook fan pages I got a great idea for how anyone could start earning some money by creating their own fan page.  Of course profits will vary based on your ability to attract visitors to your fan page, but honestly that&#8217;s not too hard.  You could even pay to advertise your fan page through facebook, and still make great returns.</p>
<p>Still though, this method will be most effective for people experienced in;</p>
<ol>
<li>Creating viral content/hooks</li>
<li>Building multiple profiles with lots of friends</li>
<li><em>using a computer</em></li>
</ol>
<p>The truth is anybody could do this.  So anyways I&#8217;ll get down to the method!</p>
<ol>
<li>Signup for facebook, or use an account you&#8217;ve already created.  The more friends the better, you could invite them to your fan page <img src='http://blogdub.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> .</li>
<li>Signup for <a href="http://www.cpalead.com/apply.php?ref=9881" target="_blank">CPA Lead</a>.  (A cpa network with a &#8220;content-blocker&#8221; or &#8220;gateway&#8221;, where users must complete a survey of your choice before they are allowed to see the content on a web page).</li>
<li>Now choose a topic to make your fan page about.  Something like &#8220;The Funniest FML you have to see it!!!&#8221; or &#8220;fat kid slips on ice cube which lands in moms soup&#8221;.  Basically all you have to do is find a funny youtube video and your set.</li>
<li>Make a website, if you don&#8217;t want to pay for your own domain or anything that&#8217;s no big deal.  Just create a <a href="http://blogspot.com" target="_blank">blogger blog.</a> Create a post, and embed the funny video you found.</li>
<li>Now to create your gateway.  Go to CPA Lead and login.  Click on &#8220;Widgets&#8221;, then &#8220;create a new widget&#8221;.  Simply run through the setup to build your content gateway.  Once you&#8217;ve finished, embed the code they give you into your web page.</li>
<li>Now that your website is done, all you have to do is promote it.  Go to facebook and create a fan page.  Setup the fan page to include a link to your website.  If you really want to do things right you should add a few features to your fan page.<br />
&gt;Don&#8217;t allow people to view the link to the video without joining the fan page<br />
&gt;Enourage fans to invite their friends + post your fan page to their profile before exposing the location of the content.</li>
</ol>
<p>It&#8217;s as simple as that, and now depending on how popular your fan page becomes you could be earning quite a bit of money daily.  With each person who completes a survey in order to unlock the content on your website you could earn somewhere around $0.50 to $5.00.  Also, it&#8217;s not like you have to use Facebook as your only method of promotion!  Content gateways have been around for a little while now and they are being put to great use, affiliate marketers have a real opportunity to make a lot of money with these programs!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is a method involving Craigslist which makes it very easy to get a sale on virtually any affiliate network selling physical products.  Not a whole lot of affiliates like to see your traffic coming from Craigslist, which isn&#8217;t a problem&#8230; just make a blogspot blog as a gateway to your products page.  This method is simple, so I&#8217;m going to keep this pretty short.</p>
<ol>
<li>Find a product on Craigslist that is being bought/sold/traded frequently.  The more popular a product is, the more responses/sales you&#8217;ll get from posting an ad.</li>
<li>Now go to your favorite affiliate website (<em><a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/stat?id=619sVmyNw4Y&amp;offerid=7097&amp;subid=0" target="_blank">Linkshare</a>, <a href="http://www.pjatr.com/t/Qj1GQUFJPUJJREVBPUNFRQ" target="_blank">Pepperjam</a>, Shopzilla, Chitika, CJ, Ebay&#8230; The list goes on and on</em>) and find the product you&#8217;ve decided to sell.  Save the link to the product, and note what the price is.</li>
<li>Create an advertisement saying you want to get rid of your <em>&#8216;product&#8217;</em>.   Price your product slightly more than you see it selling for on your affiliate&#8217;s website.  Not too much of a price increase, as you don&#8217;t want people to think your price is too ridiculous and be immediately turned away from your advertisement.  Also, don&#8217;t increase the price by too small of an increment, because the overprice is the buyers incentive to purchase from your affiliate rather than you.</li>
<li>Somewhere in your advertisement, probably the bottom, place a link to the product on your affiliate&#8217;s website.  Or, if your afraid your affiliate network won&#8217;t like the traffic coming from Craigslist then you have another option.  Create a blogspot blog, slap a few links up for your product, and write a quick review or two.  Then instead of linking directly to your affiliate, you can link to your blog.</li>
</ol>
<p>If all goes according to plan, a few buyers will compare your expensive price with the cheaper price on your affiliate&#8217;s website and purchase from your affiliate&#8217;s website.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Method Variation</span>:</p>
<p>Another option, would be to setup an auto-responder instead of including a link to amazon in your original post (You could leave it there, but I see no point to it).  I would also suggest removing the price from the original post as well.</p>
<p>When someone sends you an email asking the price of the product, you setup an auto responder to say something like,</p>
<p><em>&#8220;Sorry I already sold it for {overpriced amount}, funny thing is you can find them cheaper on {youraffiliatelink.com}&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Of course that&#8217;s probably not a very well written message, but you get the point!  I actually think you might make more money with the autoresponder than the first method since sometimes people would question your stupidity for putting a link to a cheaper product in your ad, and could also simply overlook the link altogether.</p>
