Get Accepted Into CPA Networks

December 31, 2009 by · 8 Comments 

Joining the CPA networks is something that frustrates many marketers. That is because so many are used to the automatic acceptance that comes from most of the affiliate marketing networks. CPA networks are pickier because they want a higher quality marketer.

But, you can get accepted! You’ll want to follow the outline below if you are turned down (and even before that happens!) by the networks so you can start making money from cost per action deals as soon as possible.

The first thing you need to do is select the networks you want to join. That is right — you’re going to join more than one. 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 might not be available on another network. But, you should pay close attention to offers that are available in more than one network. That’s because the commission may not always the same! You might discover that the same exact offer pays quite a bit more on another network.

After you have investigated which networks you want to try, go ahead and find their application form. They will likely ask you questions, such as how you intend on marketing their offers, where your main website is, how many visitors you generally receive, and other questions at their discretion. These questions may be intimidating if you are just beginning, 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 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 will often get accepted right on the spot!

At times networks are harder 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 marketing plan will make the difference in getting accepted!

As a last means, you can contact a successful CPA marketer so they can put in a good word for you. It usually doesn’t come to this, but it never hurts to make these type of contacts so you can make use of them if necessary in the future.

If you are not able to get into a certain Cost Per Action network right now, and you’ve tried all you can think of, you’ll just have to move on and start with the networks you got into. You can always reapply again once you have more experience under your belt. They definitely will not turn down someone who is able to get sales for themselves and for the company! Remember — the CPA networks are there to make money, so if you are able to help them make money they have no reason to turn you down.
