4 Critical Questions To Ask Before Considering CPA Offers

4 Critical Questions To Ask Before Considering CPA OFFERS

You have heard by now all the buzz about CPA offers, CPA networks and the possibility of making some serious coin

In fact many marketers whom most of you have never heard of before are emerging and announcing their big $ catch with CPA offers

So just to give you a little insight on CPA offers and what it means to regular, everyday marketers

First let’s clarify, what is a CPA offer? CPA stands for Cost Per Action, note not per SALE but per ACTION

This means that merchants, like Walmart and many others are willing to pay $ to acquire new POTENTIAL customers. So CPA networks are commissioned to help them acquire these potential customers.

The CPA networks in turn, need affiliates to bring in the potential customers. So let’s say that Walmart pays the CPA network $5.00 per lead, the CPA network in turn now pays the affiliate $2.00 per lead (hypothetically figures)

So you get the gist? You, the affiliate get paid for bringing the lead

1) Sounds pretty good right? You don’t need to sell anything to get paid. But you do need to bring in the leads. Many times all you need to secure for the merchant is a zip code or email address

2) Are you knowledgeable enough to run ppc campaigns and other marketing campaigns to drive traffic to a landing page?

3) The majority of affiliates run PPC campaigns which cost money up front. So do you have a bit of advertising $ ready for this project? Most of the marketers who make big money, say $100,000 per day and all that you see advertised, have big ppc daily budgets of 2 to 3 times that amount. So yes, they spend $250,000 per day to make $350,000! But of course you can start small, $25 per day and build from there

4) CPA seems like a good way to go but can I make money? Absolutely. But there is a learning curve. Most marketers have difficulty with driving traffic via ppc and other methods. The whole premise of CPA is that you can drive traffic. Because traffic converts into zip code, email addresses, names, etc. all of which you get paid on

And that’s the basics. Of course there’s lots more but I wanted to give you a little flavor…

    Hello .. I stumbled across your Blog ..its very nice and factual..
    So how and where do U learn all this CPA marketing???
    I am amazed at all the info there is on how to make money on the NET..
    I have heard of CPA before but I am afraid to try it.

    I don’t know anybody and nobody knows me..plus life is too short

    I have been marketing for 3 years, sometimes with vigor and other times with not so much vigor and I have not earned more than $99.00 dollars in all that time..a dismal failure..
    Thank goodness I have not wasted a small fortune like other fools have..
    I like to take my time and learn first..

    However,I am happy with my station in life..and I don’t rely on things I cannot touch, see or feel..most people think that their CRT screen is a real life drama when in fact it is not..Its just a tool with a high degree of required know how..something I don’t have turn it off and its all gone..

    I work hard at what I do.. in the real world I prefer face to face..When I get people who say they joined my team on a program I promote, many don’t even respond to a simple Thank you for joining..and you never hear from them again..

    I was taught never to be discourteous mostly because I was brought up with manners and a good set of values for family and other people, I am Latin thats how I teach my children. Most Latin families are tight…

    I am a real salesperson that gives true value to my customers..I am a builder of real proportion and I like to create lasting relationships. From my vantage point that does not exist on the NET.. No one is your friend..

    Many INTERNET offers are pie in the sky and for the most part “words are cheap”.

    Heres an example..

    I was listening to a video about niche marketing and for $99.00 a month they will teach me all there is to know..
    I wondered about this because they claim that they have experimented with many of their own sites which are now earning 5 and sometimes 6 figures a month with about 6 to 8 mini niche websites..let us show you how we do that..???
    for $99.00 a month..WOW

    Honesty is my forte and I know how to read between the lines, I also recognize greed when I hear and read about it..
    Now why would anybody in their right mind want to expose themselves to thousands and even millions of Internet fools if they were really earning 6 figures a month.
    Do they think their some kind of Messiah who can cure the financial woes of all those who are seeking financial freedom.
    I doubt it..If I was earning 6 figures a month with a few minisites on auto pilot..I’d be on a beach somewhere enjoying my life right now. Sure I would help those who want to help themselves but I wouldn’t charge $99.00 bucks a month..they do this because it really is hypothetical and a non factual dream, which sadly many buy into,thus the high failure rate..

    I don’t believe the average person can do this..do You?
    with 95% failure rate as posted on many Blogs what incentive is there to continue especially when you can see the writing on the wall..

    Lets not kid ourselves it takes a very talented individual with Internet education to succeed on the NET.. not so much because they don’t want to, its mostly because its too difficult for most people to understand,
    I see it everyday..

    Twitter for example, do you honestly believe I am going to trust someone simply because I have been tweeted hundreds of times during the day with irrelevant content and what we should be doing to make money..
    My answer to that is get out there and work.

    Is this building trust.. the other day I gave a similar response to another so called content giver and asked them for direction and instruction. I never received a reply..am I suppose to listen their tweets let alone join an offer they happen to promote.. many marketers don’t want to interface with people the way I do. I know we are all different, all I’m looking for is a helping hand..
    I left you a phone message minutes ago, my purpose for the call was to ask you how you made your twitter background.
    I’m having a tough time creating one thats I like with the existing sources that are out there and occasionally I see a nice one like yours..so I’d like to know how you did it..thats all..

    As far as marketing strategies are concerned I listen and apply. I will not pay money or join anything to anyone who does not respond to questions and I guess it will take more time to finally figure out how to earn $ 500.00 a month, thats all I want for now. Once I master that I know I can earn more..but like I said right now the search continues..
    So tell me more about your Internet Journey..?
    If I sound negative, I’m really not..its just that I take a more realistic approach to life than most..

      I do see where you are coming from and your comments and frustration are not solitary. There are many marketers struggling online trying to make an income. There are people making money, but for every 5 that earn there are 95 that don’t. And yes, the internet is polluted with many get rich quick schemes, waiting for the unsuspecting. And a huge volume of the paid courses still leave many not grasping how to make money online. So agreed there are some good and bad. Bottom line? One can earn a decent income online, but there is a learning curve. I don’t care who says just copy and paste, and make money. That is only a short term solution. But winning in business online is absolutely possible with steady guidance and none of the fluff!
