What Is CPA Marketing?

CPA stands for (cost per action) and is a little different for an affiliate marketer. Most people are familiar with affiliate marketing. If your not then here is a crash course. Affiliate marketing is when you market other people’s or company products and get paid a commission. So you make a sale and they make money and you make money. So how is CPA marketing different? CPA pays exactly what is says. Cost Per Action.

So let’s put this in prospective. Instead of making a sale and getting paid, you get paid for what? Well it depends on what your marketing. Some companies pay you if you send a customer their way and they capture their email. Others just want their zip code. Others pay you when someone signs up for a free trial or free product. Like I said it really depends on the product your marketing or the company your marketing for.

How does this help you make money? Well, CPA affiliate marketing makes more money most of the time then regular affiliate marketing. Let’s say you have a blog and it is getting some visitors. You have monetized the blog with some affiliate products from Clickbank. If your visitor clicks on the ad, the visitor has to buy the product through Clickbank for you to get paid. Normally if the product your promoting on your blog is in coordination with the niche of the blog then your conversion for a relevant Clickbank product is between 1% to 5%. This does depend on the product. If you added CPA relevant offers to your blog, your conversion should be higher. Let’s say you get 100 clicks on your ad everyday and 1 person buys the product your promoting everyday from Clickbank. You have a CPA that offers the same payout for signups. You have 100 people click on your ad and 22 convert the CPA offer because they only have to sign up for free. It is up to the CPA company or person to get the signup to convert, not you. CPA offers can increase your online income by leaps and bounds, because they work the rest of the way to get the conversions. All you have to do is get the traffic to them. In a regular affiliate ad you have to get the traffic to them and hope that their landing page will convert the visitor. It is up to you and the product your promoting to sell the customer at the time the visitor comes to the landing page from your ad. If the visitor comes back later and buys, a lot of the times you don’t get the money even though you were responsible for sending that customer. CPA offers target visitors by using landing pages that capture the visitor’s information. They specialize in making the visitor into a customer. You get paid for getting the visitor’s information, not making a sale. I would say that if you make money selling affiliate products, you could probably triple your money by using CPA offers.

So now the question is where do you find CPA offers. Well like Clickbank, CJ, and Paydotcom, there are also brokers for CPA offers. These are the people you need to sign up with. They have tons of CPA offers from all kinds of companies, in all kinds of niches. This CPA marketing is not only for blogs. You can put them on regular websites, build landing pages for specific offers, email you opt-in list, and so on. There are all kinds of offers that fit into any kind of online marketing. We have put links to some quality CPA site below.

Remember these CPA sites don’t just allow anyone to advertise their offers. You need to convince them you are worthy. Fill out the application and have a phone conversation with them. Let them know you are going to make them and you money. It might seem like a hassle, but it is worth the extra money you will be making, and it is part of their quality control because of the top advertisers they have.

I listed what I think are the best CPA Networks at the bottom of the article. If you follow these links they will take you to these networks. From there it is a matter of signing up and being accepted. Inside the CPA Networks you will find tons of offers, and it is a matter of finding which will fit with your websites or which are in areas that you wish to market. You must also look at the offers and decide which will make you the most money.

I do not know much on where to sign up for CPA programs, because of lack of information on the net. I would be glad if I can find some reliable CPA programs to kick start my internet business since I’ve heard of people making big bucks out there just through CPA alone.

Several listed at the bottom of this post. You can make big money with them. They are different to sign up with, for the fact that you must have a phone conversation with them and they will go over you website very carefully. They do this for their internal QC. It is a pain, but well worth it for the profit you can make.
