How to choose the best offer through market research

Once you have been accepted, the next step is to decide on an offer to promote. You need to consider factors such as the niche, conversion rate and the target market. One important tip to remember is to stick to very hungry markets where a lot of money is spent, even if the competition is tough. Even though advice that you should stick to less competitive niches abounds, you need to stick to markets where there is money and traffic if you want it to be worth your while. While they may be competitive, niches like Forex, golf, credit cards and similar markets have a lot of traffic and money, which is where you too want to be. Market Research So, now you need to find those hungry markets but don’t worry, because finding a good niche is not difficult. There are plenty of places you can research for free and you will come up with lotsof potential niches to work with. eBay and Amazon eBay and Amazon are two highly popular websites that will provide you with lots of informat

What CPA networks want to see

CPA networks only want experienced affiliates that have been successful with CPA in the past and they aren’t interested in beginners. This statement is not entirely accurate. While they need experienced affiliates, they also need to work with people who are starting out because there simply aren’t enough experienced affiliates to go around. What CPA networks want to avoid is people who generate false leads, using less than honest methods. This practice hurts everyone, from the advertisers, to the networks and ultimately affiliates. The reason is that the more false leads an advertiser has to payout for the higher their cost per sale will be and the higher their risk as well. This means that they will eventually pay lower commissions due to lost revenues and higher costs which will equate to both affiliates and networks losing money in the long run.

Applying to CPA networks

The application process is quite straightforward and simply requires you to fill out a form with your information. You will need to enter your full name, address, website and email address, at the very least. It is recommended that you use a professional email address, namely one that isn’t from a free system such as Gmail or Yahoo Mail, as you may not be taken too seriously if you use the latter. If you don’t have a website, you needn’t worry because you can specify in the observation box that you will be building websites around the CPA offers the network has. The next step is “the phone call”, which seems to be quite scary to some people. However, there is absolutely no need to worry, because it is simply a screening process for the network to be able to separate the wheat from the chaff. In other words, it’s meant to be a deterrent to those who would use dishonest practices to generate false leads. The CPA network essentially wants to know two things, namely how you will d

list of CPA offers

There are many types of CPA offers and the main difference between them, besides the product they are promoting and the commission, lies in the action that a prospect is required to take. The longer and more complicated the action a visitor has to take, the higher the commission will be. E-mail Submits The most simple CPA offers, e-mail submits simply require prospects to sign up with a valid email address for which you receive a commission. The payout is usually quite low per lead but the conversion rate is quite high because entering an email address is pretty easy. E-mail submits are great for beginners to get the hang of CPA because you can learn the ins and outs of the system but still make some decent money while you are learning. Zip Submits These are practically the same thing as e-mail submits except that prospects are required to enter a valid ZIP code. Short Form Offers These require slightly more information from leads than e-mail submits, includin

How CPA works generally

CPA advertisements are centralized by specialized companies that are the equivalent of online media brokers, known as CPA networks. A company approaches a CPA network and negotiates to have their advertisement placed in the network for publishers to subsequently place on their websites. You are the publisher. As previously mentioned, the advertiser has one of two goals, to make a sale or to build a list of qualified leads. Many opt for building a list as they know that this is the best approach for a sustainable business model that will generate revenues for many years, versus a one-off sale. The advertiser will provide all the marketing materials, from graphics to text for emails and more, and the campaign will run until, either a certain number of actions has been completed, ergo 500 people have signed up for their list, or until a certain date of expiry.
