Using CPA Marketing is one of the easiest and fastest avenues to make profits online because you don’t need to “sell”!
CPA (cost-per-action) marketing has been an under-valued way of making money online that has been used by smart marketers to make serious profits for the past couple of years. Even though CPA marketing is gaining more and more popularity as time goes by but it’s still an undervalued way of making a full time income online.
There are keys to succeeding with CPA Marketing that will be revealed to you in this post.
CPA Marketing is just like any other online business approach – you won’t be wealthy right away.
One of the major fundamentals of CPA Marketing is re-investing your profits over and over again to achieve the income you desire. With that said, anyone can get involved in CPA Marketing with little or no money to invest. You can start as small, build steadily, and ultimately create a CPA Marketing empire.
All you need to succeed in CPA Marketing is ambition, desire, and the discipline to follow the steps we will outline for you in this blog post.
What Exactly Is CPA Marketing?
CPA (cost-per-action) Marketing is being paid for having a visitor you generated perform an action and thus becoming a lead for the company. The best way to explain CPA Marketing for people that have never seen or heard of the concept before is giving you a quick example. Ever seen an attractive one page website that says
“Compare Auto Insurance Quotes and Save 40% or more..!”
That is CPA Marketing. There is a marketer behind that who will inevitably be paid anywhere on average from $5.00 to $20.00 per lead just for having you fill out that form. The “action” depends on the stipulation set by the advertiser, but it usually includes having your visitor fill out a simple 1-4 page form that includes information such as their e-mail, telephone, and other personal information.
There are CPA offers that collect credit cards for actual products and free trial offers that pay much more, but we’ll get into those later.
Here’s how the process of CPA Marketing works:
- You sign up with a CPA Network
- You pick the offer you are going to promote
- You drive traffic either through your website to their landing page or you can directly route the traffic to their landing page through your unique link
- You are paid for each lead that fully performs the action (usually filling in the form with their personal information).
CPA Marketers live in the fast lane of marketing. This type of marketing is made for those who like results fast and are willing to analyze current offers and experiment with countless new offers. The great aspect of CPA Marketing is that an increasing amount of advertisers are jumping on board due to the increasing amounts of click fraud that cost-per-click advertising is experiencing.
Quick Note: CPC or cost-per-click advertising is an extremely popular form of advertising utlizilied by publishers on networks such as Google Ads, Yahoo Search Marketing, Facebook Ads, and MSN AdCenter.
Advertisers are increasingly finding that their advertising dollars are not being utilized correctly and many times being wasted primarily because anyone can click the advertisement. With CPA Marketing, an actual “action” such as filling out a form has to be completed before the advertiser is charged, making it a better deal for them and YOU!
Let’s get into how you can make serious profits living in the fast lane of CPA Marketing…
Step 1: Join A CPA Network
You must first join a CPA Network to begin promoting CPA offers. It’s critical that you join a legitimate and well-known CPA Network as there are hundreds out there who are not as large, stable, and may not be active and paying on-time.
First off you need to realize that joining a CPA Network is not as simple as just creating an account at Clickbank. CPA Networks actually make you fill out a short application and manually approve you into their network.
For this reason, you need to follow the tips below to ensure you are accepted into each network:
- Indicate that you have experience in marketing
- Indicate that you have the ability to drive significant amounts of traffic
- Indicate that you have a website (if you do not have a website to reference you may have to create a free blog at WordPress.com and write a few blog postings on affiliate marketing, cpa marketing, or some sort of marketing.
- Make it look real because they will check it before accepting you
Overall you need to prove to the CPA Network you are not a “newbie” who is just giving this a try as these are the types of people they are attempting to keep away from their network due to the amount of wasted time they would spend on technical support issues.
These CPA Networks want experienced marketers who know what they are doing and are serious about making money.
We’ve included a list of CPA Networks you can work with that are 100% legitimate, paying on time, and stable.

Step 2: Get To Know Your CPA Affiliate Manager
Directly upon signing up, most CPA Networks will assign you to an affiliate manager.
This person is critical to your success because they have all the information YOU want!
First off, CPA Networks more than any other networks don’t have much of a tolerance for “newbies.” Call it discrimination, call it not professional, but it’s the reality.
Before you start talking to your CPA affiliate manager we recommend reading this whole guide and understand the “lingo” and know what you’re talking about.
The first thing to do after signing up for a CPA Network is what we call “getting real” with a CPA Affiliate Manager. You will say something like this “Hey Joe, I just joined. My buddy told me you have some great converting offers here”
What offers have been converting best lately?”
After you start talking with him or her more and more you can guage what you can ask them for and you can even ask them to increase the amount per lead that they are currently paying.
Quick Tip: Always ask your affiliate manager what type of wiggle room they have on the offer you are planning on promoting before you start promoting it. Many times they can payout more than what’s advertised on the website.
Your affiliate manager is not there to answer questions on setting up a Google Ads account, or helping you to develop your new website, or to answer any type of questions not directly related to their network.
Use your affiliate manager as a valuable tool and you will quickly see this person is directly related to your overall profits!
