Getting Started with CPA, Apply as an Affiliate

Capitalizing on the opportunity of making money online through CPA or Cost per Action or Acquisition campaigns starts by being an affiliate of a CPA network.

CPA networks acts as the middlemen in this business. You do not directly deal with the advertisers or businesses but go through the CPA networks. All logistics are managed by the CPA networks. They handle designing the ads to the payment systems which will put the profits into your pockets.

Signing-up 

Filling up an online form is very easy. They usually just ask for very basic information about yourself and what you do. Most affiliate networks do not collect fees when you sign up. This encourages quality potential ad marketers to join and start pushing for their offers.

The affiliate networks though are a bit strict when it comes to accepting affiliates. Popular CPA networks will require their affiliates with high traffic websites before approving an application.

If you are managing a website, it will be best to make sure that you meet the requirements of the CPA network. Read through their standards and see if you will qualify. It may be possible to make some adjustments to your site so you can meet their qualifications rather than risk being turned down.

In case, you don’t have a website yet, you can always go to smaller networks and climb your way up the ladder.

It may be a common scenario for affiliate applicants being turned down by CPA networks. If this happens to you, don’t easily give up. You can try to call them up and see how you can go about it. In the event that they still reject your application then just move on to the next affiliate network.

Phone Interview

Good CPA networks usually interview affiliate applicants over the phone. When you fill up the form on their website, make sure to indicate a valid phone number where they can contact you and be sure that you will be there to pick it up on the time you indicated.
Remember that you are dealing with real people when you apply for affiliate networks. They can tell and have means to know if you are not being honest with them.
