subject: Find Out What You Need To Do To Get Approved From A Cpa Network [print this page] CPA, better known as cost per action marketing, has been making people a lot of money online lately. You can only do this, however, if you become a member of one or more CPA networks.
Firstly, make sure the CPA networks trust you and see you as someone who is good at what they do. When applying for a CPA network, don't just wait around to hear from them. Go the extra mile and contact the affiliate manager assigned to you the very next day and ask him nicely to approve your application. Simply say that you applied yesterday and that you'd like to know how the application process is going. The affiliate manager will like this sort of behavior because it shows tenacity and a willingness to do what it takes to succeed. This will make it more likely that your application will be approved and it will also set the stage for a great business relationship. However, don't get aggressive and don't interrogate them about your application. You should rather be calm and let the affiliate manager do the questioning, so that you can give them satisfactory answers. Never send your application on Thursdays or Fridays since they're too close to the weekend. After a phone call, if you still haven't heard whether or not you've been approved, you should send an email or instant message that asks about the status of your application. You may be hesitant to call, but just know that the affiliate managers nearly always push the applications through when you do it this way. You need to be convincing and you should have some preconceived answers prepared.
CPA networks aren't going to want to work with anyone who doesn't have the experience they're looking for. Bottom line. So if you're just starting out, then you'll need to have some online marketing experience to show in the application and as well as the interview process so that you get accepted. You should never tell your affiliate manager that you're at a learning stage or are experimenting with CPA marketing. When you learn all there is to know about affiliate marketing, you'll be able to talk intelligently about it and you'll be able to convey to the affiliate manager that you're the right person for the job. All you need is a tad bit of experience. Don't worry, after you're accepted nobody will inquire as to how good you are. Before that happens, however, you need to let the AM know that you are fully capable of representing the CPA network.
When you finally do submit your application, you will get an email confirming that the affiliate manager got it. It should be noted that sometimes there may be follow up questions in that email. But the majority of the networks simply give a phone call, rather than emailing. An applicant could know just what to say, but if he doesn't take that call, which is a mistake a lot of newbies make, he's less likely to get approved. Not taking that call tells the affiliate manager that you aren't prepared to do business and that you don't take it seriously, and he won't make that phone call twice. If you happen to have a situation where you can't answer the call, simply call back and explain what happened and let the affiliate manager know you're ready to do business.
Once you're approved, you've only completed the first step, as there's so much to learn if you want CPA to work for you.
