Hopefully my affiliate networks don’t see this and ban me for it (just kidding Clickbank, I haven’t done this with you, I’ve only done it with random sites that offer affiliate programs, LOL). There is a really easy way to trick people into signing up for PPL (pay per lead) offers and it involves very little work. If you’re unfamiliar with PPL, it means you get paid by referring people to sign up for free things, such as registering for a forum, a mailing list, or entering their zip code for shit like ringtones and scholarships. It’s very similar to CPA except it’s always free simple bullshit, which makes it very easy to game. The basic idea is you refer someone to a site, they sign up for free, and you get paid. So how would we exploit this system?

PPL offers can be as low converting as selling products if done from a purely whitehat standpoint, as people still need to be interested enough to click the link, read the sales page, and want to sign up. This is why you need to be a little evil with your marketing. I’ve actually seen some jerkoffs selling this as “The Craigslist Method,” but it’s really just common sense when you think about it, so I’ll give it to you for free. Let’s say you’re promoting a web design forum that pays you $1 for every user you refer. You go to Craigslist and post from an unregistered account (it’s very important that you don’t register an account because if they catch one of your ads from a registered account, they’ll delete all of them) a job listing that you are looking for either (a) forum posters, or (b) forum moderators (you can post ads for each, or combine them into a single ad, it doesn’t matter). If people are interested, tell them to email you their information and you’ll be in touch. A sample ad would look something like this:

I am starting a web design forum and am in need of a few moderators. Web design knowledge is preferred but not required. You will be paid $15 a day. If you are interested, please email me at ilike@sex.com

You now need to set up an email to receive all the inquiries, and trust me, there will be a lot. DP is always flooded with threads asking how to make a hundred dollars a month with Adsense, so $15 a day sounds very lucrative to a lot of people. You now have a couple of options. You can signup with Gmail and set up an autoresponder (there’s an option in the Gmail settings to do this) so anyone who emails you automatically gets back a set response that you type ahead of time. This is good because it automates the reply process and requires you to do no work, although your conversions will be lower because some people will recognize it as spam, so you could also decide to manually reply to all the inquiries. Anyway, the reply should be something like this:

Thank you for your inquiry. We have received your application and will get back to you shortly. Please visit our site at www.sexisfun.com and register an account to familiarize yourself with the site.

Nearly everyone you send this to will visit the site and sign up. Note that you do want to add some fluff to the message as well as a made up name and signature to make it look real. Also be sure to never include the URL in your Craigslist ad, as it will be immediately flagged as spam. That’s why you have to go through the whole email process. Sound easy enough? That’s it, you’re done. You can do this with a lot of PPL offers, just make sure you’re smart about it and don’t try to do anything ridiculous (”please download 10 ringtones from my ringtone site to familiarize yourself with the process” is an example of “ridiculous”). Have fun
