How to Get Accepted Into CPA Networks?
Getting accepted into the Cost Per Action 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 strategies below if you are turned down (and even before that happens!) by the CPA networks so you can begin making money from cost per action deals as soon as possible.
The 1st thing you need to do is select the CPA 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 networks. Something that is available on one network might not be available on another CPA network. Also, you should pay close attention to offers that are available in more than one CPA network. That’s because the commission may not always the same! You might discover that the same exact offer pays quite a bit less on another network.
After you have investigated which networks you want to apply to, go ahead and find 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 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.
Send the application, and be ready 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. Calling 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’ll often get accepted right on the phone!
Many CPA 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 help get you accepted!
As a last ditch effort, you can get a hold of a successful CPA affiliate so they can put in a good word for you. Normally it doesn’t come down to this, however it never hurts to make these kind 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 everything, you’ll just have to keep moving and start with the networks you are a part of. You can always reapply later once you have more time under your belt. They definitely will not turn down a person who is able to get sales for themselves and for the company! Remember — the networks are there to profit, so if you are able to help them profit they have no reason not to accept you.
