What is CPA
CPA stands for cost per action? In simple terms, this means that you promote something and when somebody takes action you get paid a commission. The action can vary but typically it is making a purchase. Where to find offers The following sites I highly recommend as starting points when becoming an affiliate and CPA marketer:
Warrior Plus: http://warriorplus.com
Warrior Plus has a variety of making money online courses all of which have low priced (typically 100% commission) front end offers with variable commission deep funnels. Therefore this is the place to start.
JVZoo: http://jvzoo.com
JVZoo has a mixture of courses and software that are slightly higher in quality but typically have more expensive front end offers. Good to get involved with JVzoo's offer when promoting to your list later down the line.
Click Bank: http://clickbank.com
Clickbank is also full of ebooks and courses, but are priced more expensively. Good to get involved with Clickbank offers when promoting to your list later down the line.
Other CPA networks:
https://peerfly.com/ http://www.nexusoffers.com
http://ogads.com http://www.cpagrip.com
https://www.maxbounty.com
The above sites lists a wide range of offers. There are offers that only require leads to payout rather than sales but these typically have lower commissions. A lot of the offers come via advertisers and therefore admissions to the networks can be a more difficult process, so we recommend joining the three recommendations above first.
What to consider when selecting an offer
When selecting an offer to promote there are a number of things you should consider. Firstly what is the quality of the offer? Are people promoting it already (a good sign) and has the product creator a track record of producing products that sell. Secondly, is the offer evergreen or at least current? Check out the product and see if it's still relevant before selecting. Lastly, you need to know what the commission rates are. Two factors here. What % do you get from the front end product ie. the initial commission you get upfront when a sale is made and what the upsells are and the % you receive if sales are made. Also consider whether there are any recurring commissions, which means you get paid every month for example from one sale.
Your Link
One thing to remember is that the affiliate link that is created is usually the domain of the network plus a long list of letters and or numbers. This is fairly long and unsightly. Not a major issue, but a lot of other websites and email providers do not like affiliate links and block them. Therefore we need to mask them. This is the process of hiding them behind another web link that automatically redirects people to our affiliate link once it is clicked. The best way to do this is with your own paid hosting and domain, by creating a redirect link as this will have your own domain name and look great.
