Joining 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.
Still, you can get accepted! You will want to follow the steps below if you are not accepted (and even before that happens!) by the networks so you can begin making money from cost per action deals as soon as possible.
The 1st thing you need to do is select the CPA networks you want to join. That’s right — you’re going to join many. That’s because there are likely a wide variety of offers you want to pick from on the numerous networks. Something that is offered on one CPA network may not be available on another CPA network. Also, you should pay careful attention to offers that are available in more than one network. That is because the payout may not always the same! You could find that the same exact offer pays quite a bit more on another network.
After you have discovered which networks you want to try, go ahead and fill out their application form. They will likely ask you questions, such as how you intend on marketing their offers, where your main website is, how much traffic you generally get, and other questions at their discretion. These questions may be intimidating if you are new, so just answer them to the best of your ability and know that this is not the be-all end-all.
Submit the application, and be prepared to wait up to a week to hear something back. Alternatively, you can just go ahead and call the CPA network to gain acceptance right away. Calling 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 spot!
Many 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 Cost Per Action marketer so they can put in a good word for you. It usually doesn’t come to this, but it never hurts to make these kind of contacts so you can make use of them if necessary in the future.
If you aren’t able to join a particular CPA network right away, and you’ve tried everything, you’ll just have to keep moving and start with the networks you were accepted into. You can always reapply later once you have more time under your belt. They definitely will not turn down a person who is able to get results for themselves and for the client! Keep in mind — the CPA networks are there to profit, so if you are able to help them make money they have no reason not to accept you.
