Getting accepted into the CPA networks is something that drives many marketers crazy. That is because so many are used to the easy 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’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 cost per action deals as soon as possible.
The 1st thing you need to do is pick the CPA networks you want to join. That’s right — you’re going to join a bunch. That’s because there are likely a large variety of offers you want to choose from on the numerous CPA networks. Something that is available on one network may not be available on another CPA network. But, you should pay close attention to offers that are available in more than one network. That’s because the payout may not always the same! You might discover that the same exact offer pays quite a bit less on another network.
After you have determined which networks you want to join, go ahead and complete 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 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 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 phone!
Many CPA networks are a little bit more difficult 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 business plan will make the difference in getting accepted!
As a last tactic, you can contact a successful CPA marketer so they can put in a good word for you. It usually does not come down to this, but it never hurts to make these type of contacts so you can make use of them if necessary.
If you are not able to join a certain Cost Per Action network right away, and you’ve tried everything, you will just have to keep moving and focus on the CPA networks you got into. You can always reapply again once you have more Knowledge under your belt. They definitely will not turn down a person who is able to get sales for themselves and for the client! Keep in mind — the CPA networks are there to profit, so if you are able to help them profit they have no reason not to accept you.
