How to get accepted to CPA Networks
Posted by AdminApr 7
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.

A few minutes ago while reading up on how to do just this I got a call from Maxbounty to accept my application. It seemed pretty easy to get accepted. What i did was
Use one of my high quality sites as an example when filling in the application
Use a professional email address – preferably the same as the website u submit. My site was http://www.clearskinpores.com so i generated an email from that. Its been going for about a year which helps and is my best performing site and is at the top of google. (this is not me trying to publicise my site – its just so you can see the type of site they liked)
Have a niche that you have a personal interest in. Mine was health related products. As soon as i told them that their ears pricked up.
Know how u r going to get them traffic to their offers and tell them. I listed at length all the methods im going to use and i will – I was honest.
In my application I told them about my keyword research. On one I found a relevant word that has a monthly search of 2.4 million with little competion. i bought all the domains for it and spoke about this in my application.
As long as u know your stuff you will have a good chance – Ive had 2 acceptances and no rejections so far!!!
Hello, I’m having trouble getting accepted to CPALead, they say they do not accept my website: http://www.extracashtruth.com/
Can you give me some tips on getting approved?
Thanks!
I checked out your site. Its cool but it is still not a full fledged site.
1. Try and and get a paid site
2. Convince Affiliate
manager reviewing your case that you can actuaklly deliver
3. Make a personal call to CPA lead if your application fails.
My experience is that putting a call through helps get you accepted.
