Getting Started With CPA Marketing

I meet a lot of people who are excited about the opportunity to promote CPA offers. I need to let a bit of the air out of your balloon: CPA marketing requires a lot of work. You have to learn this just like anything else. If you even remotely think this is a vehicle for fast money with little to no work GIVE UP NOW! Successful CPA Marketers (earning 6 figures or more per month) are not lazy. They do not have a problem investing in education or advertising. If you are looking to learn this for free without paying your dues again I say GIVE UP. NO ONE IS GOING TO TEACH YOU EVERYTHING THERE IS TO KNOW ABOUT CPA MARKETING FOR FREE. N O O N E!!!!!! If you are brand new to CPA marketing here are a few steps you should do first: 1. Get on CPA Networks. This is not as difficult as some claim. You may want to start with http://cj.com (Commission Junction). It is easy to get on CJ. Also try http://www.peerfly.com. When applying for CPA networks be honest. If they don't approve you on the first try pick up the phone and call the Affiliate Manager. Let them know you are new to CPA marketing but you are getting training on the Warrior Forum (see link below). 2. Get Hosting and learn your way around a server. I recommend hiring someone from Fiverr.com to create a landing/lead capture page for you. Very few people use direct linking and most of the guru's suggest creating a landing page. You will also need an autoresponder. Check out Aweber.com and/or Getresponse.com. 3. Find a good traffic source. Paid or Free. Free sources will take a long time. Craigslist is NOT an option to get free traffic for CPA (unless you know what you are doing). YOU WILL GET BANNED. Focus on paid resources. Here's a great course on getting traffic - http://hightrafficacademy.com-if.us 4. Figure out an offer to promote. Dating, weight loss, etc. 5. Setup a landing page and tracking for the offer on your server. This is something you will need to hire someone to do if you don't know how to do this. Go to Fiverr.com. If you don't have the money to pay someone do a search on Google to learn how to create a basic lead capture page. Fiverr is your best option. 6. Start promoting things and split testing things. Targeted traffic. 7. Don't jump around. Read all you can.
