CPA Marketing Explained

By Daniel Waser

I will not presume that all of you who reads this article does know realy what CPA is all about and so I am going to start with a quick explanation that highlights precisely what CPA is, and how it can make you money.

CPA (cost per action) is also known as PPA (pay per action) and is an online marketing opportunity that pays you based on a precise structure or model. For example, if you participated in CPA offers, you would be paid each time a prospect finished a specific action, such as registering on a site, completing a form, signing up for an offer, or maybe just visiting a particular domain.

The requirements frequently range between a single email opt-in to lengthier form processing including three, four page surveys, application forms or sometimes downloading demos, screen savers, software and scripts.

While CPA offers vary and the requirements associated with beingcredited for an 'action', there are a surplus of high paying CPA programs and offers which you can get entangled in.

It is, in truth, one of the simplest techniques to generate cash on the internet with not a lot of effort in comparison with plenty of the standard marketing campaigns and opportunities.

Most CPA Firms pay out somewhere from $.25 right up to $4.00 for a single email opt-in form, with other CPA opportunities paying out as high as $150.00 for a multi-part process or a more in depth requirement where your visitor may has to verify their email address, take part of a free trial offer and on occassion, your commission may only be credited weeks later once your visitor has completed the process.

For example, an advertising company pays the CPA network that you've become a part of $10 for each lead generated as a consequence of their members actions. In turn, the CPA firm pays you 70% of that, earning $3 for connecting you with the advertisers.

In order to start getting paid with CPA offers, you should become a member of a handful of CPA based programs. There are networks available on the internet that host a large variety of CPA offers, enabling you to become a member of one website and having the chance to join in more then one offers from plenty of different companies.

CPA programs serve as the agent, bringing publishers and advertisers together, and generally coordinates the variation of offers from participating publishers and companies with affiliate marketers, for a small fee or share of the final offer itself.

Once you have been accepted from a CPA network, you'll be given an unique affiliate link, just as you would if you have been joining an affiliate network.

This link identifies you as an affiliate and tracks basically your sales and in turn, provides you with conversion rates and several other information that will help you determine how well your promotional campaigns are doing.

All of this tracking is done by the CPA network itself, where your account information are being stored. One of the finest things about working with a CPA program is that you are able to promote several CPA offers, covering a wide selection of niche markets and get one commissioncheck for all of your earnings combined.

Furthermore, nearly all CPA networks will delegate an agent to assist you in getting started as well as address any concerns you may have during your starting time.

Every CPA network offers several opportunities, the most popular networks hosting as many as 1,500 different offers in their database at any given time.

Furthermore, most CPA networks supply you with many of the promotional media that you need, including email campaign, graphic advertisements, ad copy, banners and textual ads.
