How to Get Accepted Into CPA Networks
December 29, 2009
Getting started with the Cost Per Action networks is something that frustrates many marketers. That’s because so many are used to the auto acceptance that comes from most of the affiliate marketing networks. CPA networks are pickier because they want a higher quality marketer.
But, you can get accepted! You will want to follow the strategies below if you are turned down (and even before that happens!) by the CPA networks so you can begin making money from cpa offers as soon as possible.
The 1st thing you need to do is select the networks you want to join. That is right — you’re going to join many. That’s because there are likely a large variety of offers you want to choose from on the numerous CPA networks. Something that is available on one CPA network may not be available on another CPA network. But, you should pay careful attention to offers that are available in more than one network. That is because the payout is not always the same! You might discover that the same exact offer pays quite a bit more on another network.
After you have investigated which networks you want to apply to, go ahead and complete their application form. They will likely ask you questions, such as how you intend on marketing their offers, where your main website is, how many visitors you generally get, and other questions at their discretion. These questions may be intimidating if you are starting out, so just answer them to the best of your ability and know that this is not the be-all end-all.
Send the application, and be ready to wait up to a week or so 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 circumstances. 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!
Some CPA networks are harder to join. 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 help get you accepted!
As a last ditch effort, you can get a hold of a successful CPA marketer so they can put in a good word for you. Normally it does not come down 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 join a particular Cost Per Action network right now, and you have tried everything, you will just have to move on and focus on the networks you are a part of. You can always try later once you have more Knowledge under your belt. They definitely will not turn down someone who is able to get results for themselves and for the client! Remember — the networks are there to profit, so if you are able to help them profit they have no reason to turn you down.
