CPA-Cost Per Action

23:28 in CPA

What is CPA?
CPA stands for Cost Per Action. This is where networks have advertisers (companies with lots of money) that pay publishers(you) to get the word out about their product or service by having users complete a specific action.

The actions can include but aren't limited to:
-Filling out forms or surveys
-Buying Products
-Taking a trial offer
-Gaining registrations (a.k.a. generating leads for companies'
newsletters, opt-in lists, or so they can sell their product or service
to the lead you send to them)

Why CPA?
CPA is the holy grail of money making when combined with black
hat methods.
There are publishers earning an extra $100 a week with CPA, and
there are publishers earning as much as 50,000 a day with CPA.

CPA is easy to understand, you have the advertisers, the Affiliate
Networks, and the Publishers.

-The Advertisers (remember has the money) and wants to promote
their product or service

So they go to an Affiliate Network with money in hand. They got a
great deal; they don't pay for advertising until after the action they
want is taken. When they make a sale or are given a lead, that's
when they pay.

-The Affiliate Network is the middleman; they connect the
advertisers with the publishers.

-The Publisher, (that's you) is the person that gets the word out
anyway he/she can. On a website, with PPC (pay-per-click) With
E-mail Lists, or through Social Media.

-The Affiliate Networks. These networks will be writing your
checks, so it's very important to know how to be hired by these
networks, and how to cover your ass so your not banned by these
networks. First though before you can get banned, you have to be
hired.

First off, here's a list of Affiliate Networks. I'd recommend joining
3-5 that you like, then later on we'll get to joining more and
spreading our earnings, but for now, just pick a good 3-5 to go
with.
