Simple CPA Machines [review]

Today Im doing a review of the new Simple CPA Machines training.

I have known Yair Dolev for a while now. Something you have to remember is that Yair is only 16 or 17 years old but he is smarter and more mature than a lot of people I know that are twice his age. One thing that I know that Yair is very good at is making money with CPA offers. I have reviewed some of his other CPA products before and I have seen his results live on Skype chats where he has logged into his accounts and showed me what he can do.

While I know that Yair is really good at making money with CPA offers there have been a lot of CPA related products lately and honestly I was not sure that the world needed another one. But I thought I would at least check it out.

To my surprise this training is actually quite different than most others. Most other CPA products are going to teach you how to use some obscure traffic source to get people to your CPA offers. This one however uses one of my favorite traffic sources, Facebook ads.

I personally spend a decent amount of money on Facebook ads myself (normally several hundred dollars a month) and while I usually have good results after going over this training I’m starting to think that I might have been doing them wrong. You see normally I run Facebook ads to my reviews for products I promote. I like them because with Facebook I can target my audience perfectly by location and by interest, and because I can get clicks at a very low cost (normally a few cents each). Low cost, highly targeted clicks is the thing that every advertiser dreams of and about 90% of the time I can get a fair ROI by sending them to my product reviews.

However I’m realizing now that I have probably been leaving a lot of money on the table.

What Yair teaches in Simple CPA Machines is sending the traffic to a squeeze page that leads them through a funnel and ends up with them being on your CPA offer (it would work just as well with affiliate offers, Yair just prefers CPA). Honestly I feel a little silly that I did not think of that myself. When Im sending people directly to my review they dont know anything about me. They dont know me, like me or trust me (yet). But by getting them into his funnel Yair can build up a relationship with them before he sends them to an offer. This results in higher conversions and of course your also building a list so you can send them ‘reminders’ about the paid offer and promote to them later. Its not hard to see how this method is better.

In fact as I was watching this training it occurred to me that a I actually have seen someone do this (I cant believe it did not click in my head then). Now as I said Yair prefers CPA offers for the monetization, probably because they tend to last longer than affiliate offers, but I saw someone crush it on an affiliate promo with this exact method.

I while ago I did a promo for a product by Alex Jeffreys. I really wanted to win that promo and gave it my all. I even teamed up with my friend Mike and we both gave our own amazing bonus to the offer. When it was all said and done I had made over 500 sales and Mike had made over 250. That’s 750 sales between us. Guess what. We did not win! One guy did more sales than both of us combined. I just had to know how this happened so I found him on Facebook and grilled him for some info. Of course first I complimented him as a nice way to introduce myself.

He ended up being quite talkative and told me exactly what he did. He was using Facebook ads. I didn’t get it. I was using Facebook ads as well how did he do so good? So I asked him for clarification.

While I was having my ads point at my review blog, this guy was having his ads point to a squeeze page. He was getting them into his funnel first, building a bit of a relationship with them first then sending them to the to the offer as well as doing follow up emails (something I could not do because I was not getting people in my list), and also retargeting. Sure he was doing it with an affiliate offer and not a CPA offer for monetization but he was still in essence doing what Yair is teaching in this training.

Given that I know Yair ‘knows his stuff’ and that I have seen someone do this kind of promo first hand I have no problems accepting that the methods that this training teaches works.

The training itself is given in video format. While the information is solid I do think it could have been presented a bit better. There was nothing major wrong with it but there where a few things I thought could have been improved on. First of all Yair has a bit of an accent. Its nothing major and I did not find him hard to understand but one thing he did do was sometimes talk a little fast. It seems that a lot of people outside of the USA who speak English tend to speak a bit fast sometimes. Anyone who has any British friends will probably know what I mean. This is not terrible but there where a few times where I found myself thinking ‘slow down bro’.

Also the training is divided up into modules. But the modules are just given generic names like “Module 1”, “Module 2” etc. I really would have liked them to be given names that identify what the training in that module was about. That would have made it a lot more easy to skip around or to revisit specific videos if you want. This again is not a ‘deal breaker’ or a major thing, but it was something I thought could be improved on.

Despite these things I still found this to be very solid training on a method that I’m very sure works. It covers everything from getting started, to selecting an offer to promote, to setting up the funnel, to creating your ad.

Ill be honest. I’m going to be changing the way I run my ads and will be using Facebook to send targeted traffic into a funnel. You will of course need a bit of ad budget to put this training into action but the cool thing about Facebook is that if done correctly you can pay a lot less per click then you do with other platforms. Also because Facebook knows so much about its users you can really laser target your audience. Because of this you should be able to get started on a budget of as little as $10-$20. In fact most of the ads I run have a $10 budget. Once you start making a RIO on your ad you can just increase the budget, scale up and let it pay for itself.

Simple CPA Machines uses one of my favorite traffic sources in a way that I have seen work first hand. Its newbie friendly because you dont need a product of your own to promote (though if you have one you can for sure use that for monetization). It has made me start to rethink my own Facebook ad strategy and I strongly suggest that anyone looking to make money online at least take a moment to consider it.

No longer for sale:

 A quick note about the reviews I do on this site. The product vendors give me access to their products for free in order for me to do my review. However I make no promises to them regarding the results of my tests or what I will write in my review. Should you click a link that takes you to a sales page for a paid product for sale this link will be an affiliate link and I will be paid a percentage of the sales price should you decide to invest in it.
