How to Get Accepted Into CPA Networks
Getting started with the Cost Per Action networks is something that frustrates many marketers. That's because so many are used to the automatic acceptance that comes from most of the affiliate marketing networks. Cost Per Action networks are pickier because they want a higher quality marketer.
But, you can get accepted! You'll want to follow the strategies below if you are not accepted (and even before that happens!) by the CPA networks so you can begin making money from cpa offers quickly.
The first thing you need to do is pick the networks you want to join. That is right -- you're going to join a bunch. That's because there are likely a wide variety of offers you want to pick from on the different networks. Something that is offered on one network might not be available on another network. Also, you should pay close attention to offers that are available in more than one CPA network. That is because the payout is not always the same! You might discover that the same exact offer pays quite a bit less 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 many visitors you generally receive, and other questions they want answered. These questions may be intimidating if you are starting out, so just answer them to the best of your ability and know that this is not the be-all end-all.
Send the application, and be ready to wait up to a week to hear something back. Alternatively, you can just go ahead and call the Cost Per Action 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 will often get accepted right on the spot!
At times CPA 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 make the difference in getting accepted!
As a last means, you can contact a successful CPA marketer so they can put in a good word for you. Normally it doesn't come to this, but it never hurts to make these kind of contacts so you can make use of them if necessary.
If you are not able to get into a particular CPA network right now, and you've tried everything, you will just have to move on and start with the CPA networks you are a part of. You can always reapply again once you have more experience under your belt. They definitely will not turn down someone who is able to get results for themselves and for the client! Remember -- the networks are there to make money, so if you are able to help them make money they have no reason to turn you down.
