It's never been easier to make money with CPA. What exactly does CPA stand for? It's simply COST PER ACTION. You are paid whenever someone completes an offer whether it is a sale or lead using your referral link. There are many CPA companies available to choose from, each having dozens or even hundreds offersUpon completing the reading of this eBook, you will have a clear understanding of what it takes to profit from CPA offers, and will be able to get started promoting. It's possible you've completed CPA offers in the past and didn't realize that you were literally giving the person money just from you downloading a software application, or inputting your zip code or email address into a form. It's really amazing that something as simple as entering your email address into a form with one field can result in being paid up to $1.50 in most cases.When you join a CPA company what you're basically doing is aiding that company in promoting the advertisers that have registered with that company to have their product or service promoted. CPA companies break down their service into two categories.Category one is the Advertisers. These are the companies that have paid the CPA Company to promote their product. In most cases they have pre-paid a deposit to have their product or service promoted. Once the deposit is made and the offer goes live within the CPA Company's database, it is made available for the second category.Category two is the Publishers. As noted, the Advertisers have their company listed with the CPA Company's database, so now it is available for the Publishers to start promoting. The Publishers are the promoters. You will be the Publisher, as you will be promoting the offers listed within the CPA Company's database by the Advertisers.That's basically how the CPA networks work. You have the Advertisers and the Publishers.

Getting Accepted into CPA Networks

Before you apply to any CPA Network is very important that you have a clear understanding of how you will be promoting the offers available within the CPA Network. Most networks like to work with seasoned veterans within the marketing industry, so it’s going to be important that you do not appear to be a newbie when it comes to marketing. You’ll need to understand certain basic concepts.

Modes of Promotion

When you review an application form for a CPA network, you’ll find a listing of the types of promotion that you can select from as your means of promoting the offers.

Upon analyzing the screenshot above it shows the modes of promotion that are accepted by most CPA networks. You have the option for banner displays, pop ups, text links, PPC, SEO, stand-alone emails and newsletter advertising.

You will have to decide which option you’ll be using to promote the CPA offers. Since at this stage it’s possible that you do not know which mode you’ll be using, it’s always best to select “Banners”, “Text Links”, and “PPC” as the options you’ll be using for promoting the CPA offers. Once accepted you can always add more options to the list.

Your job is to ensure you get accepted into the network as quickly as possible and show them that you actually know what you are doing.

The first step before applying for any CPA Network is to have a professional website setup. If you have an old domain name just sitting around, then it’s time to make use of that domain name, the older the domain name the better, as it can appear to be a site that was in existence for a long time.

Also create an email address based off that domain name; that is the email address you’ll be using to contact them, as it’s more professional.

Do not use a free email address as your mode of contact via email.

What you’ll be doing is setting up this website to be a blog. You can use Wordpress that is available for free as your content management script to make things easy to setup. The reason you are setting up the site as a blog is simply because it’s a quick and painless process and with some of the great free themes available online, it can look professional without your having to do a lot of work.

Once you have Wordpress setup and installed on your site, you’ll need a theme to use. You can review these sites below for free themes to use for your blog.

www.skinpress.com

www.freewpthemes.net

www.wpskins.org

Review those three sites to find a free theme that you can use on your blog. Upon selecting your theme, and setting up your blog, then of course you’ll need to select a niche or topic for the blog, along with having content.

This is pretty easy since you are not setting up this blog to be a site that is going to make you money necessarily, but simply to show the CPA networks that you have a professional site that will allow you to get approved quickly. Later, we can work on sites setup specifically for the CPA offers you’ll be promoting. The role of this site is just to have a “dummy” site more or less that you can use to get accepted by any CPA network.

For the content of the blog, you can use PLR articles. There are many sites that offer free PLR articles that you can freely download and use on your blog. Most of these sites that offer free PLR articles will request that you sign up to their newsletter but it’s a small price to pay for getting free content that you can use for the setup of your blog.

Just as a quick note, PLR simply means Private Label Rights. You are receiving permission to edit and use the downloaded content on your website.

http://www.freemonthlycontent.com

http://www.freeplrarticlesweekly.com

The content you will be provided from these three websites will be more than enough to fill your blog with high quality content that can make your blog look professional.

Of course you have the option of writing about ten articles on your own to fill your blog, but if you are looking to get started as quickly as possible, you can download articles from these sites.

You should have at least 10 articles on your blog and have it setup in a very neat format. Do not display any ads on the blog, just ensure that what you’ve setup looks neat and organized.

Be sure to have a privacy policy and contact form on your blog. You can have this setup automatically by using the privacy policy plugin & contact form plugin that are available for Wordpress.

Okay, at this stage I’m assuming you have your blog or website all setup that you can use for applying to the CPA networks. Do not overlook this stage, since it is very important that you have a nice and professional site with good content to present to the CPA network for approval.

With your site setup, you will now also need to be prepared for a phone call. Yes, in many cases if you do not input a real telephone number that you can be reached at you will not be approved by the CPA network. The most popular and reputable CPA networks all require telephone verification.

An affiliate network specialist from the CPA network will call you and ask you a few basic questions regarding your modes of promotion.

If you input that you’ll be doing Web promotion for CPA offers, they’ll ask you to verify the site that you will be promoting their offers with, and if you have any idea of the types of offers you’ll like to promote.

At this stage you need to sound extremely confident and sure of yourself regarding your promotion methods. Simply inform the affiliate network specialist that you will be developing websites that cater specifically to niches that are based off the type of CPA offers available within your network. The first site which is your “dummy” site should be the example of such a site.

If you’ve listed PPC as one of the options, more than likely you’ll be asked about your experience with PPC. Never make it seem like you are new to PPC. Simply inform the specialist that you will be using Google Adwords, MSN Adcenter, and Yahoo PPC to promote a variety of offers. Do not ramble into un-necessary detail, keep it simple and to the point regarding the answers.

In most cases, the networks just want to know that a real legitimate person is behind the ...
