CPA Networks – What They Are and How to Get Accepted

Joining the CPA networks is something that frustrates many marketers. 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 outline below if you are not accepted (and even before that happens!) by the networks so you can start making money from cost per action offers as soon as possible.

The 1st thing you need to do is pick the networks you want to join. That is right — you’re going to join many. That is because there are likely a large variety of offers you want to pick from on the different CPA networks. Something that is offered on one CPA network may not be available on another network. Also, you should pay close attention to offers that are available in more than one network. That is because the commission is 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 promoting their offers, where your main website is, how many visitors you generally get, 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.

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 Cost Per Action network to gain acceptance right away. A phone call is the magic answer in many cases. 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!

Many 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 means, you can get a hold of a successful Cost Per Action marketer so they can put in a good word for you. It usually does not come to this, however it never hurts to make these type of contacts so you can make use of them if necessary.

If you aren’t able to join a certain CPA network right away, and you’ve tried everything, you will just have to go forward and focus on the networks you are a part of. You can always try again once you have more experience under your belt. They definitely will not turn down a person who is able to get sales for themselves and for the company! Keep in mind — the CPA networks are there to make money, so if you are able to help them make money they have no reason not to accept you.
