How I Use EasyHits4U to Help Fund My Affiliate Marketing on LeadsLeap
A practical traffic strategy for affiliate marketers who want to make their advertising budget work harder
One of the biggest challenges facing affiliate marketers, particularly beginners, is finding affordable ways to advertise.
You have a product to promote. You have an affiliate link. You may even have a website or landing page ready to receive visitors.
But where does the traffic come from?
And perhaps more importantly, how do you keep advertising when you don’t have an unlimited marketing budget?
I have been experimenting with a simple approach that combines two platforms I use regularly: EasyHits4U and LeadsLeap.
The idea is straightforward.
I use my EasyHits4U Ultimate membership, together with daily manual surfing, to generate advertising credits. I use some of those credits to send visitors to my LeadsLeap Traffic Co-op link. That activity generates cash and advertising credits in my LeadsLeap account, which I can then use to support my wider affiliate marketing activities.
My main business is promoting Plug-In Profit Site, and I advertise it on both EasyHits4U and LeadsLeap.
In other words, I am using one advertising platform to help generate resources for advertising on another, while continuing to promote the business I actually want to grow.
It is not a magic formula. It is not completely passive. And I am certainly not suggesting that every visitor will become a customer.
But I like the underlying principle: make the resources you already have work harder before reaching into your pocket for more advertising money.
Let me explain how I do it, why I like it, where the limitations are and why I think other affiliate marketers should consider testing it for themselves.
1. The three platforms and the role each one plays
My approach involves three platforms, but they each have a different purpose.
EasyHits4U: My traffic-generation starting point
I am an Ultimate member of EasyHits4U.
I use the traffic exchange to promote my websites and affiliate offers to other members. I also manually surf websites daily to earn credits that I can allocate to advertising.
As an Ultimate member, I have access to a higher level of advertising facilities and membership benefits than a free member.
The important point is that I am already using the platform and earning advertising resources through my activity.
Instead of using every available credit exclusively to promote my main business, I can allocate some of those credits to another purpose: promoting my LeadsLeap Co-op link.
That is where the strategy becomes interesting.
LeadsLeap: My advertising resource and reinvestment platform
I am also a member of LeadsLeap.
LeadsLeap has several features for affiliate marketers, including advertising, tracking, page-building facilities, email marketing tools and its Traffic Co-op.
The Co-op is particularly relevant to this strategy.
I promote my unique LeadsLeap Co-op link through EasyHits4U. When other people visit and surf the Co-op link for the qualifying period, LeadsLeap credits my account with Co-op earnings and advertising credits.
According to LeadsLeap’s own explanation, a qualifying Co-op visit of at least five seconds can generate both cash and credits.
Those credits can be used for advertising or, subject to the platform’s arrangements, converted into cash through its credit encashment system.
This is the mechanism that makes the arrangement attractive to me.
I am not simply buying traffic. I am using advertising resources earned elsewhere to generate activity within a second advertising system.
Plug-In Profit Site: My main business
My principal affiliate marketing business is Plug-In Profit Site.
This is the business I ultimately want to grow.
I promote it directly through EasyHits4U and through LeadsLeap advertising.
I therefore have two objectives:
- Build exposure and potential prospects for Plug-In Profit Site.
- Use the EasyHits4U-to-LeadsLeap Co-op arrangement to help generate resources that can be reinvested into my marketing.
The distinction matters. LeadsLeap is not replacing my main business. It is helping me develop a more resourceful way of advertising it.
2. How the strategy works in practice
Here is the process.
Step 1: I surf EasyHits4U daily.
I log in and manually surf websites to earn credits.
I am not relying on automated surfing software or pretending that the activity requires no effort. I put in the time and accumulate advertising credits through the platform.
Step 2: I allocate some of my EasyHits4U credits to my LeadsLeap Co-op link.
Rather than directing every available credit to Plug-In Profit Site, I use a proportion of my advertising resources to promote my LeadsLeap Co-op link.
This sends visitors into the LeadsLeap Co-op system.
Step 3: Qualifying visitors generate LeadsLeap earnings and credits.
When visitors arrive through my Co-op link and meet the qualifying surfing requirements, LeadsLeap records the activity.
The platform’s published explanation describes the two benefits: Co-op income and credits.
I can monitor the results in my LeadsLeap account.
Step 4: I reinvest the resources generated.
The cash accumulated in my LeadsLeap account can help fund further marketing activity, while eligible credits provide another source of advertising resources.
I can use the available advertising facilities to promote Plug-In Profit Site.
Step 5: I continue promoting Plug-In Profit Site directly.
I also advertise Plug-In Profit Site on EasyHits4U.
This means my main business receives exposure through both platforms, rather than relying exclusively on the Co-op arrangement.
The overall process looks like this:
EasyHits4U surfing → earned credits → LeadsLeap Co-op link → LeadsLeap cash and credits → reinvestment into advertising → Plug-In Profit Site exposure.
Alongside that cycle, I continue advertising Plug-In Profit Site directly on EasyHits4U.
The result is a marketing arrangement in which different activities support one another.
3. Why I like this approach
There are several reasons I find this strategy appealing.
Benefit 1: I am making use of resources I already have
I am paying for an Ultimate membership on EasyHits4U.
It makes sense to explore how I can use the membership facilities and credits as effectively as possible.
If I can direct some of those credits towards generating a LeadsLeap advertising fund, I am getting another potential benefit from the time and resources I have already invested.
I would rather explore that possibility than simply accumulate credits without a clear purpose.
Benefit 2: It gives me a way to build an advertising fund
Advertising costs money.
That is one of the realities of running an online business.
I like the idea of using the LeadsLeap Co-op to generate cash that I can put back into my marketing.
Instead of continually treating advertising as an expense that must be funded from my personal bank account, I am exploring ways to generate some of that advertising budget through my own marketing activity.
There is something satisfying about using the proceeds of one advertising activity to finance another.
Of course, the amount generated must justify the time and effort involved. But the principle is worth exploring.
Benefit 3: I get exposure for more than one purpose
A visitor arriving at my LeadsLeap Co-op link is not necessarily going to become a Plug-In Profit Site member.
However, the visit is not automatically wasted.
The Co-op activity may generate credits and cash for me, while the advertising resources I subsequently obtain can help promote my main business.
I am trying to get more than one useful outcome from the overall process.
That is a much more interesting way to think about advertising than simply counting clicks.
Benefit 4: I am not entirely dependent on one traffic source
I use EasyHits4U and LeadsLeap for different advertising purposes.
That gives me more than one route to generate exposure.
If one campaign performs poorly, I can adjust it without abandoning the entire marketing strategy.
I can also compare the results from the two platforms and gradually put more effort into the activities that produce the best outcomes.
Benefit 5: It encourages me to become more resourceful
When you are starting out in affiliate marketing, it is easy to assume that the answer to every traffic problem is to spend more money.
But there are other ways to approach the problem.
You can use advertising credits, referral programmes, traffic exchanges, Co-op systems, content marketing and other available resources.
You need to understand how each system works and whether the time invested is justified.
I enjoy exploring these possibilities because they encourage me to think like a business owner rather than simply someone looking for clicks.
4. But let’s be honest: there are downsides
I am enthusiastic about the approach, but I don’t believe in pretending that every advertising method is equally effective.
There are limitations, and anyone considering this strategy should understand them.
Downside 1: Traffic exchange visitors are not necessarily buyers
This is probably the most important point.
People using EasyHits4U are often there to earn advertising credits themselves.
They may visit your website because they want to complete their surfing activity, not because they are genuinely interested in your offer.
The same consideration applies to visitors coming through other traffic exchanges and advertising networks.
You may receive hundreds of visits without generating a single registration.
That does not mean the platform is useless. It means you must understand the type of traffic you are receiving.
A visit is an opportunity for exposure. It is not proof of interest, buying intent or commercial value.
Downside 2: Manual surfing takes time
This is not a completely passive strategy.
I manually surf EasyHits4U to earn credits.
That takes time, and time is a business resource.
If I spend too long surfing without generating worthwhile advertising resources or business results, I need to reconsider how much time I allocate to it.
The objective is not to spend the whole day surfing other people’s websites.
The objective is to use a manageable amount of time to support the wider business.
Downside 3: You can become distracted by impressive-looking numbers
Traffic platforms can generate activity.
You see impressions, clicks, visits, credits and account balances.
It is tempting to feel that your business is growing simply because the numbers are increasing.
But there is a difference between activity and progress.
A thousand visitors who never register may be less commercially valuable than ten visitors who genuinely want to understand your offer.
That is why tracking is essential.
Downside 4: The economics need to make sense
You should not assume that every credit is equivalent to cash or that every visit has a financial value equal to the cost of a targeted advertising click.
There are different types of resources involved:
- EasyHits4U credits.
- LeadsLeap advertising credits.
- LeadsLeap cash earnings.
- Actual affiliate commissions.
These must be recorded separately.
Also, check the current platform rules, qualifying conditions and conversion arrangements. Do not assume that every credit can be converted into cash at any time or on identical terms.
Downside 5: You may be reaching the same audience repeatedly
People who use traffic exchanges and advertising Co-ops often participate in several similar systems.
There may be overlap between audiences.
That means some people could see your offer multiple times without becoming interested.
Repetition can help build recognition, but it does not automatically create demand.
This is another reason to test different headlines, landing pages and offers rather than simply increasing the volume of traffic.
5. On balance, I believe all exposure can be useful exposure — provided you understand what you are buying with your time
I have a fairly practical view of advertising.
I don’t believe that every visitor has to become a customer for an advertising activity to have some value.
Sometimes someone sees your business and does nothing.
Sometimes they remember the name.
Sometimes they return later.
Sometimes they investigate the offer but do not register.
And sometimes they become a customer.
You cannot always predict which visit will produce which outcome.
However, I would make an important distinction.
All exposure is not equal, and exposure alone is not a business result.
There is a place for traffic exchanges, Co-op advertising and other low-cost traffic sources in an affiliate marketer’s overall strategy.
They can provide visibility, help you test advertising messages and generate activity that may support other parts of your marketing.
But you need to know what you are getting in return.
My approach is to keep the cost of this activity under control, use the resources available to me and measure the results.
If a traffic source produces no registrations but generates worthwhile LeadsLeap earnings and credits, I may still consider it useful.
If another source produces fewer visits but more Plug-In Profit Site registrations, I may decide that it deserves more of my attention.
The important thing is to make decisions based on evidence rather than assumptions.
6. The most important part: track everything
If you take one lesson from this article, let it be this:
Do not confuse traffic volume with business performance. Track your campaigns.
I would recommend keeping a simple spreadsheet.
You don’t need complicated marketing software to get started.
Record the following:
| What to track | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| EasyHits4U credits allocated to LeadsLeap | Measures your input |
| EasyHits4U credits allocated to Plug-In Profit Site | Tracks direct advertising |
| LeadsLeap Co-op visits | Measures activity generated |
| LeadsLeap cash earned | Measures monetary return |
| LeadsLeap credits earned | Measures additional advertising resources |
| Plug-In Profit Site visits from EasyHits4U | Measures direct exposure |
| Plug-In Profit Site visits from LeadsLeap | Measures second-platform exposure |
| Actual registrations | Measures prospect acquisition |
| Affiliate commissions | Measures financial results |
| Time spent surfing | Measures the effort involved |
Use separate tracking links wherever possible.
For example, distinguish between:
- EasyHits4U traffic sent directly to Plug-In Profit Site.
- LeadsLeap traffic sent to Plug-In Profit Site.
- EasyHits4U traffic sent to your LeadsLeap Co-op link.
Without this separation, you may know that you received traffic but not where it came from.
I would review the figures weekly and make a more considered decision after 30 days.
Do not abandon a campaign after one disappointing afternoon, but equally do not continue indefinitely just because you have already invested time in it.
The numbers should guide your next move.
7. How I would approach testing this strategy
If you are an affiliate marketer and want to try this, I would keep things simple.
You do not need to build a complicated funnel before you start.
Stage 1: Get familiar with EasyHits4U
Start by understanding the traffic exchange.
You can join for free and explore how surfing, credits and advertising work.
If you decide that you want to use the platform more extensively, investigate the paid membership options and decide whether the benefits justify the cost.
I use Ultimate membership, but I would not automatically recommend that everyone starts with the most expensive option.
Start at a level that makes sense for your budget and objectives.
Stage 2: Join LeadsLeap and explore the Co-op
Create your LeadsLeap account and familiarise yourself with its advertising facilities.
Find your unique Traffic Co-op link.
Read the instructions so that you understand how qualifying visits generate Co-op earnings and credits.
Then use your EasyHits4U advertising resources to promote that link.
Remember that the qualifying visit requirements matter. A click that does not meet the required surfing conditions may not generate the expected earnings.
Stage 3: Promote your main affiliate offer
Choose one main business or offer to promote.
For me, that is Plug-In Profit Site.
Use your available advertising resources to create campaigns on both platforms.
Keep the campaigns separate so you can identify which source is producing results.
Stage 4: Monitor your results
Give the experiment a reasonable period.
Record your advertising inputs, traffic, cash earnings, credits and registrations.
At the end of 30 days, ask yourself:
- How much time did I spend?
- How many qualifying Co-op visits did I generate?
- How much cash did I actually earn?
- How many additional advertising credits did I receive?
- How much exposure did my main business receive?
- Did I generate registrations or commissions?
Then decide whether to continue, change your approach or allocate your time elsewhere.
That is how I believe affiliate marketing should be approached: test, measure, learn and improve.
8. Why I also promote Plug-In Profit Site through both platforms
I want to make one thing clear.
Although the EasyHits4U-to-LeadsLeap arrangement is an interesting way to generate additional advertising resources, my main business objective remains growing Plug-In Profit Site.
I don’t want to become so focused on accumulating credits that I forget why I started advertising in the first place.
I want to build an affiliate marketing business.
That means getting the right people to look at the opportunity, understand what it offers and decide whether it is suitable for them.
Plug-In Profit Site is the programme I am building around.
I promote it directly on EasyHits4U and use LeadsLeap as another advertising channel.
I like having different routes to generate exposure, particularly when I can use some of the resources generated by one platform to help fund activity on another.
It is a practical approach to making a limited advertising budget go further.
And I am still learning, testing and improving the process.
9. Would I recommend other affiliate marketers try it?
Yes — I think it is worth testing.
But I would recommend testing it intelligently.
Don’t join three platforms, spend money on memberships and assume that the traffic will automatically produce sales.
Understand what each platform does.
Start with the free facilities where possible.
Learn how to use the credits and advertising systems.
Keep your costs under control.
Track your results.
And remember that the objective is to build a business, not to become a professional surfer of other people’s websites!
The attraction of this strategy is that it gives you another way to approach the advertising budget problem.
Instead of viewing EasyHits4U and LeadsLeap as completely separate activities, you can explore how they might complement one another.
You may find that the arrangement works well for you. You may discover that another traffic source produces better results.
Either way, you will have learned something useful about your marketing.
That is the value of testing.
10. Come and test the strategy with me
If you are an affiliate marketer who wants to explore low-cost advertising, traffic exchanges and ways to build an advertising budget, I invite you to join me.
I am using all three platforms as part of my wider affiliate marketing activity.
Here are my referral links:
1. Join me on LeadsLeap
Explore its advertising tools, Traffic Co-op, tracking facilities and other resources for affiliate marketers.
2. Join me on EasyHits4U
Explore the traffic exchange, earn credits through surfing and learn how to advertise your own websites and affiliate offers.
3. Take a look at Plug-In Profit Site
This is the main affiliate business I am promoting. Take a look at what it offers and decide whether it is suitable for you.
I would particularly welcome fellow affiliate marketers who are prepared to experiment, share their experiences and learn how to make their advertising resources work harder.
I am not promising instant riches or guaranteed results.
I am sharing a practical approach that I am using myself.
Let’s test, track, learn and improve together.
Final thoughts: Be resourceful, not just busy
Affiliate marketing is full of people telling you that you need more traffic.
But traffic is only one part of the equation.
You need a business worth promoting, an offer that makes sense to your audience, a way of reaching potential customers and a system for measuring what happens afterwards.
I like this EasyHits4U and LeadsLeap arrangement because it encourages me to think about the relationship between those things.
I earn advertising resources through activity on one platform. I use some of those resources to generate Co-op activity on another. I can then reinvest the resulting cash and credits into my wider marketing.
It is a way of trying to make my advertising activity more self-supporting.
It still takes effort. It still requires testing. And it does not remove the need to find genuine prospects.
But I believe resourcefulness matters, especially when you are building an online business on a limited budget.
Don’t just chase clicks.
Build a system. Track everything. Learn what works.
And make every part of your marketing activity justify its place in your business.
Happy marketing!
