CPA is a new way of marketing and stands for “Cost per action” or “Cost per acquisition”. Unlike conventional affiliate marketing you often need to get approved to a CPA network. Once your approved you will then have your own “Affiliate Manager” or “AM” for short. Don’t let any of that stuff put you off though as it is really simple to get accepted and your AM like you wants’ to make money so they will help you in any shape or form that they can.
In the past many of you might have been promoting various products from Clickbank or a similar venue.
The basis is pretty simple and works pretty much like this:
- You choose a product from Clickbank
– You create a website or landing page to promote that product
– Every time you sell something through that website & the link Clickbank assigns you, you get paid a commission.
As you can see I have summed up marketing using Clickbank in less then a paragraph.
CPA Marketing is a revolution in online marketing as you often have more practical products to promote that at traditional venues such as Clickbank.
For instance I am a member at many CPA Networks, and I promote many different offers from them. They can span from Dieting Aids (Acai Berry or Colon Cleanse) or offers where you get paid for someone simply just submitting there E-Mail or Zip code. I promote some offers via PPC (Pay per Click) and some of the payments can hit $ 40/50/60 – which is great if it’s only costing you small change to promote.
As you can see CPA Networks are forging a massive way for themselves in the marketing industry, so if you want to get on board then I have independently reviewed several CPA Networks over here at http://cpa-guide.com – please check it out if you are interested!
