CPA stands for ‘cost-per-action’ offers where a user fills out a form or downloads software from an advertiser. These forms can range from a single mail submit to a much longer form with multiple fields. Downloadable software could be for items such as Toolbars, screensavers etc

CPA advertisers generally pay out between $0.25 – $3.50 for a single email submit to as high as $140 for a larger form. What makes promoting CPA offers so attractive is that the user generally does not have to buy anything. Once they complete the lead, you earn a lead commission.

What are CPA networks?

CPA networks are companies that act as middlemen between advertisers and publishers (Affiliates). They host CPA offers from advertisers and have publishers that push traffic to these CPA offers and take a percentage of the lead value. For example, an advertiser may pay a CPA network $4 for every lead generated on the network and the CPA network may pay the publisher $3 per lead generated leaving a $1 profit.

Once you are accepted into a CPA network as an affiliate, you can browse the CPA offers available and decide which ones you would like to promote. For each offer, you are provided a unique Affiliate
ID to promote the offer. The number of the offers a CPA network has to offer varies according to network. Some have over 1000 different offers across various markets.

The CPA network tracks all your affiliate data and then sends you a cheque at the end of the month for the commissions generated.

Applying to a CPA network

Applying to a CPA network requires an application process by each network. Some CPA networks are easy to get into but it can be difficult to get into some of the major networks especially if you are new to CPA marketing business.

When filling out an application, don’t make it look like you are a beginner. CPA networks don’t want people who are new to CPA marketing as beginners task their time and resources.

You need to indicate that you can drive lots of traffic and that you know what you are doing. In fact, you need to sell yourself. Your ability to sell yourself as an experienced CPA marketer will go a long way towards helping you get accepted by CPA networks.

Most networks require that you have a website/blog. You can create one free at www.wordpress.com or www.bloggers.com . Write about 5-6nposts on affiliate marketing especially CPA marketing. CPA networks look favourably on Affiliate
blogs because they think you are an authority in the Affiliate
marketing industry.

If you still get rejected, don’t get discouraged. You can still apply to hundreds of other CPA networks available. I will provide you with a short list at the end of this article.

You can also make a phone call to a CPA network that rejected you and sell yourself on phone. This usually does the trick 90% of the time.

Small networks don’t usually have the resources that bigger networks have and might have problems with weekly payouts or monthly payouts. Beware of networks that pay 60 days after the month end as most networks will pay you 30 days after the month end.

Affiliate
marketing is a performance based internet marketing program in which affiliates are paid for sending customers or traffic to a website. Affiliates are paid on a per click, lead or sale basis. All Affiliate
marketing programs are different. An Affiliate
marketing partner program is easy to join and most often you can find the best Affiliate
programs on trusted Affiliate
marketing program directories online and by joining major Affiliate
networks. Affiliate
programs are driven by Affiliate
marketing software which tracks and logs your commission for promoting the partner’s website. Commissions can be paid weekly, monthly and quarterly – some are even paid instantly.

Internet Affiliate
marketing is a great way to earn income from the comfort of your home. You get to be your own boss, while working in the fast paced internet marketing world. You can join multiple internet Affiliate
programs and build websites focused on areas of your own interest. There are thousands of active and successful internet marketing company affiliates worldwide, most working from home. Affiliates do not need to store inventory, ship items or take payments, that is all handled by the Affiliate
program partner on their website.

To be a successful Affiliate
marketer you must have a love or understanding of online marketing including an eye for web design and the persistence to grow a business. You are not required to be technically gifted to succeed, but Affiliate
marketing does require that you make an investment to grow traffic. An understanding of paid search, search engine optimization and html are all very helpful tools for Affiliate
marketing professionals. Affiliate
marketing training is available online and you can gain additional insight from other successful Affiliate
marketing company affiliates via forums and chat rooms.

Internet Affiliate
marketing programs are free to join and you are not required to recruit other affiliates to make money. However, some Affiliate
programs are tiered so that you can recruit other affiliates and get paid a flat fee or percentage of the 2nd tier affiliates sales. Some successful internet affiliates work primarily as doorway affiliates, helping and welcoming new affiliates into programs and then taking a cut of their commission. This process is typically automated and requires no accounting management by the primary Affiliate
. Affiliate
marketing programs are partnerships with retailers and online businesses. Work closely with your Affiliate
program manager and try to deeply understand the Affiliate
marketing software that runs your favorite Affiliate
programs.

For websites Affiliate
marketing is a viable solution in which you only have to pay when an action or sale is made. You determine the parameters to your Affiliate
marketing program. The only real investment is in managing your affiliates, learning the Affiliate
marketing software and continuously pushing out compelling offers that affiliates want to promote. Affiliates will promote your website via banners, e-mail, paid search and more. Many affiliates have internet marketing channels and reach eyeballs not available to you otherwise. Overall, affiliates become strong business partners that are invested in your success.

I am sure you are not new to the world of Affiliate
marketing, Information marketing etc. I am also sure that you know that even if you have 10,000 visitors to your website everyday and none is buying you won’t earn money to your Affiliate
marketing business or your information marketing business.

The trend in online marketing circles has allowed for the creation of Cost per Action (CPA) advertising. CPA advertising works by an advertiser placing an advert with CPA networks and you as a promoter with the CPA network promote the advert. You earn money whenever a visitor to your website clicks on the advert and is transferred to the advertisers website where he is required to perform an action. This action can be as simple as entering of name and address.

For example you send someone to a website and then he downloads a free

software and you could be paid as much as $5 for just making him download that free

software. There is an emphasis on the word free because whatever action required does not involve money.  So imagine having 1000 people download that free software through you and you can make $5 x 1000 = $5,000.

To register with these companies, you need to register with the CPA networks and they will direct offers that you can promote to you. You don’t even need a website to start with.

An example of a CPA network is www.neverblue.com and the bad side of it all is they don’t accept Nigerians but with Hotbizcafe on your side nothing is impossible to you.

There are some CPA networks that however accept Nigerians, therefore there is the possibility of you being able to get your cash here in Nigeria or by Paypal
.
