Lightning CPA Thanks for purchasing Lightning CPA. Inside this course, you will learn how I am driving completely free traffic to CPA offers using Pinterest and generating massive conversions with a very simple system. Now, I am sure you have heard of Pinterest, and you may even be an active user of the platform. However, I have not seen anyone teaching how to take advantage of it to run CPA campaigns. People teach how to monetize it with ecom or even Adsense, but there is also a lot of possibilities when you promote CPA. There are some things you should be aware of when using Pinterest. It is not like FB, and you should not approach it the same way. It is primarily image driven as opposed to conversation/social interaction driven so the images you use are incredibly important. Also, Pinterest is not the most affiliate friendly social media platform. You should always be focused on delivering value and don t come off as spammy or salesy. This is also a main reason why I do not recommend direct linking with Pinterest. Yes,
it is possible to get away with. However, it is much safer to use a landing page. If you do decide to direct link, at the very least make sure you mask your link or use a redirect as they can detect raw affiliate links. The beautiful thing about this strategy is that once you set things up, traffic will start flowing in right away and passively over a long period of time. As you build more and more campaigns, you will build up a wide variety of streams that contribute to your income every single day. What You Need Pinterest account Autoresponder (optional) I recommend Aweber Landing page builder (optional, but recommended) Instabuilder, Leadpages, and Instapage are good options. You can use standalone Wordpress as a free option. CPA or affiliate offers to promote Picture editing software Canva is an excellent free option
Overview You are going to be using Pinterest group boards to drive laser-targeted traffic in your niche. Group boards are basically niche specific boards where you can pin stuff that the audience in the niche will enjoy. You can link externally to your landing pages/offers from these pins, which can drive massive amounts of traffic depending on the image you use and the size of your audience. As I stated earlier, I HIGHLY recommend you do not direct link with this method. It is better if you create a simple landing page that leads your traffic to the offer. It can be a simple bridge page or a squeeze page for you to collect emails. What I have loved doing recently is actually sending visitors to a survey to increase engagement and leading them to the offer after that. Niche/Offer Selection
The majority of Pinterest users are women, and people on the platform are more likely to spend money compared to FB. This is important because you can do really well with CPA offers that require a sale or even just a credit card submit to convert. You can do lead submits, but you are not limited to them as it usually is with free traffic sources. Pinterest has excellent buyer intent traffic. With all of this in mind, there are several niches that work well with Pinterest. Good Niches Pet niche This is a big one on Pinterest and easy traffic. CPA offers include dog subscription boxes such as Bark Box, dog training offers, and even dog dental offers. Survival niche Tactical flashlight, Survival Straw, etc. Fitness niche body building, yoga, crossfit, etc. Huge passionate audiences who buy a lot. Diet/Health niches Weight loss, skin care, etc. These are just some niches you can enter and that I have done well in myself. If you follow this guide using one of
these niches, you should have no problem getting tons of free traffic that converts. If you want to get started with proven niche packs, you can grab the Lightning CPA Done For You Package here: http://iamtjm.com/3qt98egh/ It has images, landing pages, exact CPA offers to promote, and everything you need to remove all of the grunt work and hit the ground running. Set Up Your Pinterest Account This is pretty straightforward. Do not use your personal Pinterest account. You want to join as a business so go to https://www.pinterest.com/business/create/ and fill in the basic information. The next thing you want to do is finish setting up your profile. This is important because when people visit your profile, you have the opportunity to lead them to your website and drive more passive traffic. So you want to use your profile bio as sort of a presell. Go to the top right of the screen to open the menu and go to settings
From here go to Profile and fill in the information in the blanks.
The main thing you want to remember here is that this is the first thing someone will see when they visit your profile. With that being the case, the About you section is very significant. There is a limit of 160 characters so you want to make the message straight to the point. The advanced training package includes some exact swipes you can copy and paste for this section (http://iamtjm.com/39854tyagh/). Next, you want to fill out
this section with your website URL or specific landing page. Once you do this, your bio will have the URL on it so any visitor who clicks on it will go directly to that page. Building Your Landing Page Technically, this is an optional step, but one that I highly recommend. There are several types of landing pages I like to use with this method with each having their own unique benefits. Right now, this is my favorite way to approach it. Survey Style Landing Pages With this type of landing page, you simply ask your visitors a set of questions to keep increase engagement and interest in your offer. It makes them feel more qualified and that the
offer is tailor made for them. They are simple to make and can take just a few minutes. Here s how you do it: For this example, let s say we are in the fitness niche promoting a weight loss offer. Create a set of landing pages that look like this:
You can see this in action here: http://iamtjm.com/weightloss-example/ As you can see, it is very basic, but also very effective and dramatically boosts conversions. Setting Up Your Boards And Pins Remember, the goal here is to get into Group Boards so that you can share your pins with a targeted community of people in your niche. You will not get into these groups if your profile is empty. That s why you should fill your profiled with at least 5 boards of your own. Now, you can think of these boards as sub-niches. They are just different categories you can split your main niche into. For example, let s say you decide to be in the
pet niche. You can have 1 board for dogs, 1 board for cats, 1 board for birds, 1 board for fish, and 1 board for hamsters. Or you can be in the dog niche and have 1 board for specific types of breeds. You get the picture. To create a board, go to your public profile and click where it says Boards then click where it says Create board. This will pop up Name your board and click Create. That s all there is to it. Now, inside of each of these boards, you should have at least 10 pins. Each of these pins can link to your landing page so remember to use every opportunity you have to link back to your website. Over time, all of this passive
traffic adds up and you can have massive amounts of traffic constantly hitting your pages without you lifting a finger. Creating a pin literally takes seconds so setting all 10 of these boards up with 10 pins in each can be done in 15-30 minutes, and you only have to do this once. Simply go to the board you just set up and click on Create Pin You will then see this pop up
Now, you can go with either of these options, but I recommend you use your own images, or images you downloaded so you would choose Your device. Find the image you want to upload on your computer and upload it. The destination URL is extremely important.
This is the page your visitors will go to from your Pin. Remember what I said earlier, DO NOT use a raw affiliate link. AT LEAST mask your URL or use a redirect if you are going to be direct linking to your CPA offer. Otherwise, simply enter the URL of your landing page and click continues. If you want to use a tracking link, you can do that as well. However, it is not necessary since we are not dealing with paid traffic. Getting Followers Now you need to get your first followers to your profile. Again, your main traffic source is going to be from the Group Boards so do not depend on your profile followers to give you any significant amount of traffic any time soon. Getting these followers is all about making your profile seem more legitimate so that moderators will approve you to post on the boards. So how do we get these followers from scratch? Easy. Just follow other people. To find people to follow who will actually follow back, simply search for your niche in the search bar.
From here, just choose a Pin and go to the user s profile. Click on their Followers Now just simply follow their followers. It takes just a single click. I recommend to follow about 100 people per day. Do not get discouraged by people not following you back. You should expect 5-10 followers in return. Finding/Joining Group Boards This is the fun part. Now we get to see where we will actually be driving traffic from. To find Group Boards, I like to use http://pingroupie.com/ it is a free resource that sorts Pinterest Group Boards and you can also search by keywords.
After you go to the website, simply input what niche you want to search for. In this example, we are using the fitness niche. Since it is already a category, we do not need to use any keywords. I recommend you sort by followers as you want to reach as many people as possible on these Group Boards. The more followers, the more free traffic you can bring in. Click Filter once you are finished.
Here you will see a list of Group Boards you can follow and potentially contribute to. Follow as many as you can, but focus most on the ones with the most followers. Many of these boards allow you to contribute with your own Pins as long as you are following the board.
Just follow the instructions so you can start Pinning. However, many of the big Group Boards only allow specific people to Pin. You have to be approved to be a contributor to these boards. Now, if you followed this whole guide and set your Pinterest account up how I showed you, then you are in great position to become a contributor. Simply contact the creator of the board and let them know that you want to become a contributor along with the reasons why. Tell them that you can bring unique valuable content to the audience. If you want my in-depth strategy of getting approved for these boards, you can grab the advanced training package here: http://iamtjm.com/39854tyagh/ It includes copy-paste swipes for contacting these creators. It has an ultra high success rate and can get you
pinning in front of literally hundreds of thousands of people in no time: Once you get inside of these Group Boards, start pinning as much as their rules allow. If there are no set rules, create at least 2 Pins per day for their board. You should start seeing free traffic coming in almost instantly. These Pins are there to stay so you can see passive traffic coming in for months from a single Pin. Conclusion This entire process should take you no more than 30 minutes to get started. After that, it is just a matter of getting into Group Boards and start pinning! If done properly, you can have hundreds or even more visitors coming in today. Remember that the more you do this, the more you are building up your passive traffic streams which ultimately leads to more hands-off income. The key thing here is persistence and consistency. Yes, you can see fast traffic and conversions coming in, but do not be satisfied. Keep
going and putting in as much work as you can and you can see your profits skyrocket.
