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:

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/weight-

loss-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.
