Joining a CPA program can help your chances of making money a little easier than regular affiliate programs because you don’t have to spend time trying to sell people on a specific product or program in order to make money. With CPA programs, all you have to do is just refer people to the site for them to leave their name and email and then you get paid.
With affiliate marketing, you have to make a sale in order for you to get paid. That means you have to spend much more time trying to get people to “buy” into what you are reviewing about the program. As many of you may know, this can be a very intense process especially if you are not too familiar with the sales process.
In order for you to really make money from CPA programs, you must join a network. These networks are very strict about who they approve. The reason is because you are going to be promoting major companies on the internet. Therefore, you will need to show that you are a proven marketer online. You don’t have to be some “expert” marketer in order to get approved. You just need to pay attention to details.
First of all, you only need to join a few networks. There are three networks in particular that are very well known and easy to get approved by. Peerfly.com, neverblue.com, and maxbounty.com are three of the best to join.
As far as getting approved, you will need to do the following: buy a domain name for your website and for your email. You need these two elements because the networks will take you more seriously. If they see that you have a Gmail account, Hotmail account or some other sub domain account, they may not take you as serious and thus disapprove you. Have a valid phone number because they will physically call you to confirm your phone number and other information as well.
If you are not familiar with certain types of marketing methods such as pay per click, email marketing or social marketing, then you can just simply tell the CPA networks that you will be using SEO as your primary source of getting traffic.
You want to say SEO because you don’t want to go in over your head when you are promoting online. With SEO, all you need to do is just have updated content and links back to your site and you are safe. It doesn’t take much to do this especially if you are doing it naturally. These small details will help you get approved very quickly with the CPA networks online.
