CPA Networks – What They Are and How to Get Accepted

August 28th, 2009 | by admin |

Joining the Cost Per Action networks is something that frustrates many marketers. That is because so many are used to the automatic acceptance that comes from most of the affiliate marketing networks. CPA networks are pickier because they want a higher quality marketer.

Still, you can get accepted! You’ll want to follow the strategies below if you are not accepted (and even before that happens!) by the CPA networks so you can start making money from cpa deals as soon as possible.

The 1st thing you need to do is pick the CPA networks you want to join. That’s right — you’re going to join many. That’s because there are likely a wide variety of offers you want to pick from on the different networks. Something that is offered on one network might not be available on another network. Also, you should pay close attention to offers that are available in more than one CPA network. That’s because the commission may not always the same! You could discover that the same exact offer pays quite a bit less on another network.

After you have investigated which networks you want to try, go ahead and fill out their application form. They will likely ask you questions, such as how you intend on marketing their offers, where your main website is, how much traffic you generally get, and other questions they want answered. These questions may be intimidating if you are just beginning, so just answer them to the best of your ability and know that this is not the be-all end-all.

Submit the application, and be ready to wait up to a week to hear something back. Alternatively, you can just go ahead and call the CPA network to gain acceptance right away. A phone call is the magic answer in many cases. If you are taking the time to call them and discuss things over the phone, the managers will know that you are serious about this. You’ll often get accepted right on the phone!

Many CPA networks are a little bit more difficult to get accepted into. When that happens to you, you might want to lay out the marketing plan you have developed to promote their offers. Often laying out a solid marketing plan will make the difference in getting accepted!

As a last resort, you can get a hold of a successful CPA affiliate so they can put in a good word for you. It usually does not come to this, however it never hurts to make these type of contacts so you can make use of them if necessary in the future.

If you are not able to get into a certain CPA network right away, and you have tried all you can think of, you’ll just have to move on and focus on the networks you got into. You can always reapply later once you have more time under your belt. They definitely will not turn down someone who is able to get results for themselves and for the company! Keep in mind — the networks are there to profit, so if you are able to help them make money they have no reason not to accept you.
