In my humble opinion it’s VERY important that you fully understand why CPA marketing is where you want to be with your online marketing career.  But first you need to know the ROI of your own efforts.

By now you should know why the “make money with Clickbank” and other such models are nowhere near as attractive and profitable as what CPA type
affiliate marketing can offer.

I’m not trying to be a cheerleader for the “freemium marketing” aka “cpa”  aka “arbitrage” model, as I myself don’t do much affiliate marketing of ANY
kind anymore… but, I know of a lot of people pushing Clickbank and such offers that often have pathetic conversions (and easily stolen commissions)…

So if you’re investing time and money with any of those cookie-cutter affiliate models, take a break from all that for a bit and test the cpa model.  It could mean double your income immediately from the exact same efforts.

And that’s not marketing-bull.

The conversions/numbers I mentioned in an earlier article are very real.  Think about it for yourself (or, better yet, test it):

Here was my point from the artcilel I wrote earlier:

Suppose there’s a $47 info-product with 50% commission split. So each sale is worth $23.50 to you.

You send 100 visitors. Let’s say it converts at 2%. 2 sales … so $47 paid to you.

But what if you were being paid on cpa leads?

The lead you found through research converts at 33%.

100 visitors now means 33 leads you’ll be paid for.

At even $3 value per lead… you just made $99 not $47…  AND you made that $99 promoting a high value free offer instead of a salespage …

AND that’s using my low $3 per lead numbers.

That example is not far fetched. It’s typical.  It’s quite common to find info products in
the $47 range that convert at 2% and pay 50%.

It’s also quite common to find lead-gen opt-in offers that convert at 33% and it’s certainly common to find such offers that pay $3.

The #1 lesson is: you must at least KNOW your numbers regardless of whether you’re driving leads, driving traffic directly for sales or putting leads into your own funnel.

And the second important point is: IF you’re going to be investing time with affiliate
marketing, I’m sure you guessed it by now that I’d much more recommend CPA (“freemium marketing”) type offers instead of Clickbank type info products.

Here’s a CPA marketer’s knowleadge collection (and I’m adding in several more bonuses as soon as we upload the pages) … this is a Master’s Degree in
lead generation if you’re ready for it:

Wealthy Affiliate

CPA marketing couldmake reference to the marketing of an authorized Public Accountant or company or it maymake reference to a very profit-worty type of affiliate marketing… In this situation, the CPA stands for Cost Per Action or Click Per Action. This article focuses on the affiliate internet marketing CPA, which is a really hot issue right now in the world of internet marketing.

Anyone that is interested in affiliate promotion recognise this primary idea. You take an affiliate product link and build an internet site, blog or pay per click campaign in order to promote this link. This is a highly simple way to make an income. But one of the drawbacks with traditional affiliate marketing is that the products cost enough to make purchasers think carefully before buying them. Thus, the outcome that is, to get sufficient clicks on your link to produce some purchases, you have to have a large amount of traffic to your links.

This is where CPA marketing differs in such a positive way. CPA affiliate links (CPA offers) convert intensely well due to that there is not any price or extremely low cost to the customer. With CPA internet marketing, the goal is to make folk to either complete info like a zip-code or their shipping address. Or, in some cases, they actually have to pay a tiny fee (shipping and handling) to get a free product. When they do this, you get paid.

Another difference that relates to Cost-per-action affiliate marketing is that, in order to promote the Cost Per Action product, you have to be accepted by the agency that offers the product. There’s lots of CPA agencies out there. Some of the most well liked ones are MaxBounty, NeverBlue, PepperJam and Commission Junction. You must apply to these companies before they will enable you to sell their products. However once you’re in, you’ve got a large range of very popular products to choose from. These are products that are already very popular by patrons and seen in mags, on telly, seen on the radio and even by word of mouth.

Once you are in, you simply go thru the offers that you want to market. Numbrous of them may have highly professional looking capture pages that are designed by a copywriter. Choice the product with squeeze pages that are easy on the eyes, offer testimonials and have a time limit to have the purchaser to do what you want them to do (like fill out their address or zip-code ). As with affiliate promotion, you might promote these products on a blog, website or with Pay Per Click… But this time, the conversions will be much better.

What you are paid relies on the product and objective of the selling page. Your CPA agency will list precisely what you will make on each sale. The Cost-per-action promoting trend is unquestionably on the up rise so it is a great time to learn more about this method of making cash online .

What is CPA?

CPA by definition is ” Online advertising payment model in which payment is based solely on qualifying actions such as sales or registrations.” Basically you get paid every time someone submits their e-mail address and name or orders a product.

When you look for information on CPA you’ll see other things like CPC or cost-per-click and CPM or cost-per-impression. The difference should be easy to see in CPA or cost-per-action you only get paid if you traffic does the action whether it’s enter an e-mail or a name and phone number. The other two have more to do with PPC or Pay-per-click.

Alright that was a lot of information fast I know but to give you the gist if want to get into CPA marketing you need to be able to do PPC or to have website to put offers on. The funny thing about CPC and CPM is that they are the things you’re going to have to pay for if you do advertising through PPC. PPC is the probably the best way to do CPA marketing because you get people that are looking for something that your affiliate offer is going to do for them.

How to get started in CPA?

Well if you’re going to start doing CPA you need to join a good CPA network that has a wide selection of offers and is good about paying affiliates what they earn. Some of the best CPA networks and the ones I use are AzoogleAds, MaxBounty, Affiliateer and NeverBlue. The all offer good CPA offers that pay you good money on average about a $1.50 for each lead( some information is given). They aren’t too hard to join and they have good affiliate managers that are always willing to help you out.

Affiliate CPA (Cost Per Action) Marketing is where an affiliate is marketing CPA (\’cost per action\’ or \’cost per acquisition\’) offers.

The missing income stream, mentioned in the title of this article, means that a lot of affiliates are missing the boat when it comes to CPA, because they\’re not availing of the benefits of it.

You see, most affiliates are marketing products whereby they receive commissions for any sales they generate. This means that if a visitor doesn\’t buy anything, they don\’t get a commission for their marketing efforts.

And that\’s how they\’re missing out.

If an affiliate is selling a product, that affiliate is right not to mix in other offers when the goal is to get the sale in the first place. It\’s just plain ol\’ bad business practice.

However, there are times that you can throw in other offers, especially with visitors who are more interested in freebies. These people just want things and aren\’t prepared to exchange money for those goods. And not only that, you can also get your customers (your actual buyers of either your, or your affiliate company\’s, offer) to help you make money from your affiliate CPA marketing efforts.

For example –

The money is in the list. You\’ve heard it before, I\’m sure. But when promoting any product online, you should build a list of subscribers and customers. And whether or not they purchase your products, or affiliate products, you should stay in contact with them.

And when you do, you always have the option of selling them stuff or directing them to other valuable resources. So if you have a CPA offer, that\’s related to any product you\’re selling, then you could incorporate that offer into your backend system and make money automatically.

Also, you could put in a CPA offer on your “Thank You” pages for subscribers or/and buyers. So when they\’re about to download the free report or paid product, the CPA offer is there as an added bonus.

There are numerous ways to add CPA into your marketing. My goal here was to just highlight it a little more for you so that you might at least investigate it further to see if it\’s a good fit for your business.

If it is a good fit for your business, then affiliate CPA marketing is a must for you.

CPA “Cost Per Action” marketing is one of the simplest methods for beginner Internet marketers to start making money online. For years, this type of affiliate marketing has an industry secret of the insider “big fishes.” It was never really a “secret,” but while most people in Internet marketing had their hands busy promoting Clickbank products, the big players were playing on a whole different level.

Cost Per Action, sometimes referred to as “CPA,” is a type of Internet marketing that requires consumers to complete specific actions – this usually entails filling out a form and requesting a free product sample, signing up for a free trial, etc. In some cases, it involves asking the customer to try a new product or service by making a small purchase.

What it means is that you, as offer promoter, get paid for the “actions” taken by the traffic you steer to advertisers. As a basic example, let’s say a company wants to test the consumer feedback on a new product line that they are introducing. They create an offer where they agree to pay $1.60 for each person who submits their e-mail address and zip code – your job is simply to direct traffic to that site and then collect $1.60 for each person who fills the form.

This is a fairly standard promotion type. Others might pay as much as $37 for one lead (though if the payout is higher, the offer might require much more information from the customer or ask for a small upfront payment.

In essence you, as a CPA marketer, are really a traffic broker: You buy traffic on one end, send it to an offer page and get paid based on how well it converts. Sounds so simple, doesn’t it? It can be easy, but it generally isn’t.

Because it is so profitable, CPA marketing is extremely competitive, and for a beginner, it can be intimidating to start trying to compete with super-affiliates making $10k a day and even more, or even with the more common affiliates who are making $500 to $1,000 a day running CPA campaigns. When you try to get started, you’re going to be up against all of that competition, and it can be very challenging. The truth is, a lot of beginners simply get frustrated and give up when they figure out that CPA marketing can be difficult and expensive.

CPA marketing can be all that the sales letters say it can be – you really can make + $10k a day if you know what you’re doing – but it can also be frustrating if you jump in without the right information.
