Lead Based Programs and diversification

What works except Finance

[Michael Anthony]

We're looking to diversify away from finance and are struggling to find lead based affiliate programs outside of this industry. The only others we have sucessfully worked with are..

Laser Eye Surgery
Personal Injury
Home Improvement

We are interested in all markets, not just the UK and USA. Anyone else care to share what works on a pure CPA (Pay per lead) basis?

Insurance, Payday Loans, Education, Debt Consolidation, Real Estate, Travel/Timeshare, Ringtones, Business opps, Dating, Downloads, Free Trials(with paid S&H) etc etc

[Michael Anthony]

Sincere thanks - that's a great list. Are you sure that they all pay per lead, and not per sale?

I perhaps should have mentioned that we are looking for a $20 or higher CPA. Any idea on how many of your suggestions would qualify?

Most finance,edu,free trial offers qualify for a >$20 payout i think

I don't see why you would put a restriction of $20 per CPA on it. If you can make more leads with a lower CPA, the actual cost per CPA does not matter in my opinion.

Good lead generation programs from my experience include: real estate, insurance (life, home, health, auto), mortgage and car leads (for car buying).

Actually I do not look at lead programs alone, i mainly look for programs that does well on email drops. A lot of per sale or commission base programs actually earn me more money especially the recurring ones (you get paid recurring monthly commission from members who renew month after month). Don't look at short term, but long term revenue streams.

With respect, I didn't really want any advice about why I'm wrong.

Thanks anyway.
