What Is CPA Marketing?

CPA stands for (cost per action) and is a little different for an affiliate marketer. Most people are familiar with affiliate marketing. If your not then here is a crash course. Affiliate marketing is when you market other people’s or company products and get paid a commission. So you make a sale and they make money and you make money. So how is CPA marketing different? CPA pays exactly what is says. Cost Per Action

So let’s put this in prospective. Instead of making a sale and getting paid, you get paid for what? Well it depends on what your marketing. Some companies pay you if you send a customer their way and they capture their email. Others just want their zip code. Others pay you when someone signs up for a free trial or free product. Like I said it really depends on the product your marketing or the company your marketing for.

How does this help you make money? Well, CPA affiliate marketing makes more money most of the time then regular affiliate marketing. Let’s say you have a blog and it is getting some visitors. You have monetized the blog with some affiliate products from

Clickbank. If your visitor clicks on the ad, the visitor has to buy the product through Clickbank for you to get paid. Normally if the product your promoting on your blog is in coordination with the niche of the blog, your conversion for a relevant Clickbank product is between 1. This does depend on the product. If you added CPA relevant offers to your blog your conversion should be higher. Let's say you get 100 clicks on your ad everyday and 1 person buys the product your promoting everyday from Clickbank. No let's say you have a CPA offer that offers the same payout for signups. You have 100 people click on your ad and 22 convert the CPA offer because it is free to sign up for the CPA offer. It is up to the company or person who gets the signup to convert them now, not you. CPA offers can increase your online income by leaps and bounds, because they work the rest of the way to get the conversions. All you have to do is get the traffic to them. In a regular affiliate ad you have to get the traffic to them and hope that their landing page will convert the visitor. It is up to you and the product your promoting to sell the visitor at the time the visitor comes to the landing page from your ad. If the visitor comes back later and buys, a lot of the times you don’t get the money even though you were responsible for sending that visitor. CPA offers target visitors by using landing pages that capture the visitors information. The specialize in making the visitor into a customer. You get paid for getting the visitors information, not making a sale. I would say that if you make money selling affiliate products, you could probably triple you money by using CPA offers.

So now the question is where do you find CPA offers. Well like Click bank, CJ, and Paydotcom, there are also brokers for CPA offers. These are the people you need to sign up with. They have tons of CPA offers from all kinds of companies, in all kinds of niches. This affiliate marketing is not only for blogs. You can put them on regular websites, build landing pages for specific offers, email you opt-in list, and so on. There are all kinds of offers that fit into any kind of online marketing.
