How To Make Money Online With CPA Networks 8
Post continued from Make Money Online With CPA Networks part 7
Types Of Affiliate Networks
Okay, so it should be obvious that this may take two or three days to finalize. Sometimes, you may even need to go to a forum like Warrior Forum and get someone who knows the administrator to vouch for you so that you can get accepted. All of this takes time and it is going to be done during business days, Monday through Friday.
So, don’t put your application in on Friday and expect a call on Saturday. You may not get it until Monday or Tuesday. If you really want this process to move smoothly, make your application at the beginning of the business week, so that you have time to smooth out any bumps in the application process, when people are working. Avoid holidays too, as that can really screw up your application process and leave you hanging wondering if they just didn’t reply because it was a holiday or because you were rejected. And, as always, be as respectful of other people’s times, even if you are bugging them on AOL.
Don’t Stress If Rejected
All in all, the process is not hard to do, but it can be a nail biter. If you don’t get into one CPA network, that doesn’t mean you can’t apply to another. Be persistent and learn from the process. If you are rejected, ask why you were rejected and then fix the deficiency in your application for next time. There are so many great CPA networks out there, and you’re only going to have enough time for a few, so it may take a while but eventually you’ll get in and be able to start making money with CPA networks. In the next chapter, we’re going to go over some CPA networks that you want to try to get into. Just be aware that many of them are very selective. Use the techniques we’ve talked about here and put on your best face. This is very much like a job interview and you want to make the best impression possible.
Almost all the CPA networks are going to be pretty much the same. They may offer their advertisers different deals to advertise on them, have a setup or registration fee while others don’t, or created value-added services for their members to differentiate themselves from the competition. However, the bottom line is that they will all have publishers, advertisers, and CPA administrators. Depending on the advertisers they’ve attracted and the breadth of their network, they may have offers for surveys, email list signups, freebies, ringtones, contests and more. In addition, they will vary on the types of categories that they have for offers as that will also depend on the advertisers in their network. So, it can pay to sign up to a number of different networks and check out their offerings to see which one fits in best with your niche markets.
There are well over hundreds of CPA networks out there, and there’s no possible way to name all of them. We’re going to offer a few suggestions, but that doesn’t mean they are the best for your particular niche. They may be large, popular with Internet marketers, or just easy to use. It doesn’t necessarily mean they will be the best for every niche out there, so it pays to do your homework and investigate a number of different CPA networks.
Azoogle Ads
We’ll start with this particular CPA network because it claims to be the largest performance based ad network online. They have an estimated 38,000 publishers already signed up, so if you are an advertiser it can pay to get accepted here to have a large publishing network. Of course, if you are a publisher it means you are competing with that many more people to try to gain the market share for any particular offer. However, that shouldn’t be a problem as they do offer a large variety of CPA offers.
You can find offers for freebies, ringtones, in very popular categories like finance. It is a well established network that is very solid and credible. So, if you are a newbie, it can be a great way to get a foothold and start to learn the ropes. If you are an advertiser, you’ll probably like the fact that there are phone numbers and emails for customer service for the parent company called Epic Advertising in plain view on that site. Azoogle is a division of Epic Advertising, but they’ve split the affiliate advertising from the publishing customer support. They probably want to make sure that the advertisers get as much support as they need to be successful with their campaigns as they are paying for it.
Affiliate.com
This is another stable site that offers some of the things more networks provide: a large publishers network, great customer service, performance-based ads that work well for advertisers. In addition, they strive to make weekly payments, a definite bonus to publishers. What makes this particular CPA network special is their value-added features. They have a service called Data Overdrive that provides solutions to people who want to concentrate solely on email campaigns. They help to show them how to monetize them more effectively. Another value added feature is called Mbmobileinteractive. According to this site, this service provides “content delivery and SMS solutions to companies interested in leveraging the rapidly evolving mobile platform.”
And, finally, the last value added feature worthy of mention is domain services. So, if you don’t have a website, they will help you set one up, register a domain name, domain parking, design services, banner design, host it, get email up, and do domain/email forwarding too. This is done through a partner called Dynamic Dolphin. In order to start working with affiliate.com you do have to pay a security deposit before you can have access to their network.
This CPA network is very popular with publishers and advertisers alike. It has a referral program that pay 2% gross for life as a credit to any affiliate advertiser that signs people up underneath them. This referral credit doesn’t even include an additional $10 referral bonus for every affiliate that is referred too. Multiple tier programs are very popular with Internet marketers because they supply residual income, and this one is a lifetime program, but not in the form of cash, rather credit. Payment is a little harder to get with Clickbooth.com. As a publisher, you would get paid on a Net 15 schedule, which is 15 days after the end of the month in which you made the monies.
They do have an exception to this payment schedule for affiliates that earn $5,000 per week. These they will pay on a Net 7 schedule, or pretty much every week. You have to earn at least $50 to get a payout in any month. So, if you get $49.95 in one month, you’ll have to wait until the next month to be credited for $50.00 with an extra .05 of revenue, and then you have to wait for the Net 15 schedule to make your payment.
This CPA network gets many nods at the Warrior Forum. It is said to have excellent customer service and a very friendly user interface. In addition, they take International advertisers, but only if they speak English and are promoting on English sites. But, that’s better than not taking them at all. So, if you are a newbie to CPA networks, as a publisher or an International affiliate, this is a great one to check out. However, if you are an advertiser there is a bit of a learning curve.
They expect you to know how to make your own landing pages, banners, keyword lists, lead forms, and email creatives. If you are able to do this, it can be a good way to get into a program without necessarily having to be a United States citizen. One thing that they do mention on their site is that they will not approve any sites dealing with adult or gambling niches. However, they are lenient with people who don’t own websites, as long as you can convince them that your Internet marketing strategy without one has merit.
