What Is CPA Marketing?

Friday, April 23rd, 2010

CPA stands for (cost per action) and is a little different for an affiliate marketer. Most people are familiar with affiliate marketing. If your not then here is a crash course. Affiliate marketing is when you market other people s or company products and get paid a commission. So you make a sale and they make money and you make money. So how is CPA marketing different? CPA pays exactly what is says. Cost Per Action.

So let s put this in prospective. Instead of making a sale and getting paid, you get paid for what? Well it depends on what your marketing. Some companies pay you if you send a customer their way and they capture their email. Others just want their zip code. Others pay you when someone signs up for a free trial or free product. Like I said it really depends on the product your marketing or the company your marketing for.

How does this help you make money? Well, CPA affiliate marketing makes more money most of the time then regular affiliate marketing. Let s say you have a blog and it is getting some visitors. You have monetized the blog with some affiliate products from Clickbank. If your visitor clicks on the ad, the visitor has to buy the product through Clickbank for you to get paid. Normally if the product your promoting on your blog is in coordination with the niche of the blog then your conversion for a relevant Clickbank product is between 1% to 5%. This does depend on the product. If you added CPA relevant offers to your blog, your conversion should be higher. Let’s say you get 100 clicks on your ad everyday and 1 person buys the product your promoting everyday from Clickbank. You have a CPA that offers the same payout for signups. You have 100 people click on your ad and 22 convert the CPA offer because they only have to sign up for free. It is up to the CPA company or person to get the signup to convert, not you. CPA offers can increase your online income by leaps and bounds, because they work the rest of the way to get the conversions. All you have to do is get the traffic to them. In a regular affiliate ad you have to get the traffic to them and hope that their landing page will convert the visitor. It is up to you and the product your promoting to sell the customer at the time the visitor comes to the landing page from your ad. If the visitor comes back later and buys, a lot of the times you don t get the money even though you were responsible for sending that customer. CPA offers target visitors by using landing pages that capture the visitor’s information. They specialize in making the visitor into a customer. You get paid for getting the visitor’s information, not making a sale. I would say that if you make money selling affiliate products, you could probably triple your money by using CPA offers.

So now the question is where do you find CPA offers. Well like Clickbank, CJ, and Paydotcom, there are also brokers for CPA offers. These are the people you need to sign up with. They have tons of CPA offers from all kinds of companies, in all kinds of niches. This CPA marketing is not only for blogs. You can put them on regular websites, build landing pages for specific offers, email you opt-in list, and so on. There are all kinds of offers that fit into any kind of online marketing. We have put links to some quality CPA site below.

Remember these CPA sites don t just allow anyone to advertise their offers. You need to convince them you are worthy. Fill out the application and have a phone conversation with them. Let them know you are going to make them and you money. It might seem like a hassle, but it is worth the extra money you will be making, and it is part of their quality control because of the top advertisers they have.

What Is Affiliate Marketing?

Friday, April 23rd, 2010

Affiliate marketing is something that can make you a ton of money. Here is my basic definition. You partner with other people or companies and sell their products or services. You get paid a commission for doing this. Why is this great? Well if your trying to make money online than you need to sell a product or service, and that is where affiliate marketing comes in. Affiliate marketing is not a myth, it is the way most people make money online.

Why would companies need you? It is really simple. More sales! If a company is selling a product on their website than they need traffic to their website to make sales. They can have the greatest product on earth, but if no one knows about it then they won t be able to sell it. This is where the affiliate marketer comes in. If they advertise the website, they will make money and drive traffic to their site. If they advertise and recruit affiliates to also market their product or service they will drive a lot more traffic and make a lot more sales. It is a win, win situation for all parties. Yes they don t make as much money on the sales, but they make a lot more sales, which is more profitable for them.

For someone trying to make money online this is awesome. You now have a product or service to sell. No writing a book, no inventing, and so on. You have a product or service that you can market just like it was your own. Now granted, it could be more profitable for you to have your own product or service, but if your like me who can’t write and can t invent, this gives you the opportunity to make money online.

There are many ways to market affiliate products, or services. If you have a blog than you can find a product or service that fits your niche. Some people build whole websites around affiliate products. Some people have opt-in email list that they can mail affiliate offers to. The ideas are endless on making money with someone else s products or services.

The question I am asked a lot is where do I find affiliate products or services, and which are the best. Most of the time you can scroll to the bottom of a website that is selling a product or service and find their affiliate link, if there is one. Some websites place the affiliate link at the top to make sure it catches your eye. Another idea, which is the way most people go, is to find a affiliate broker. Places like this specialize in finding affiliate offers and recruiting affiliates to market them. I will put some links at the bottom of this post to some of the more popular affiliate brokers. The question of which affiliate products or services are the best really depends on you. Some affiliate offers are better than others. Meaning that some pay more commission than others, some are better products or services, and so on.

You have to feel out which will work for your situation. Put yourself in the buyer s shoes. Would I buy this product or service? It does you no good to market a product on your blog that has a 50% commission if the product is crap. If your new to all this, then research about affiliate marketing. There are a lot of tricks to it, but the main things are, find a product or service that will sell, that has a good commission, and that fits your niche. Meaning if your blog is about weight loss, you wouldn t want to try to sell marketing software . Like I said the opportunities are endless. If you find a product or service that is great, but doesn t fit your niche, then create a website around the product or service. Always think outside the box.

This is an amazing opportunity for you to make money online. Understand that you just solved one of the major problems in business, which is having a product or service to sell! With this opportunity comes a lot of research and learning. That is why on the home page we ask for you to get involved in multiple programs and sites. This allows you to start learning different areas of making money online. Affiliate marketing is in some of the programs on the main page, and the more you learn, the better you will get, and the more money you will make.

Here are some links to affiliate brokers below. You will have to sign up for some of them. They are not in any particular order and there are a lot more that are not listed here.
