Affiliate Manager CPA Marketing
In the last few years, there was a time when there was much hype in the CPA (Cost Per Acquisition) marketing arena. People were talking about it left and right. The thing is, the hype started because some gurus decided to release some product into the public on how they made millions on the CPA Scenes.
Naturally these products created waves that rocked the internet marketing world. More than ever… people were starting to see the light in CPA offer and many were eager to get their hands at CPA marketing offers. The thing is, prior to this, CPA has already been around for many years and there were quite a few established CPA networks. Today, things have quite down a little on the CPA trend as with most trends, when the hype is over, people move on to other things. However, that does not mean that CPA marketing no longer works. It’s just that most gurus are not pushing the CPA scene anymore. What this means to you is that the competition will not be as high although there will always be competition where there’s money involved.
There are still a lot of opportunities around in the CPA scene and there are still ways you can make a lot of money from CPA offers. Below are a few tips and tricks you can use if you are looking into starting your own CPA ventures.
Getting into the networks.
One of the biggest problems that arise when marketers try their hands at CPA marketing is that the part where they have to sign up to networks. International marketers will find this task especially hard for them as some networks view international marketers as a potential risk. The way it works with CPA networks is that they are very strict with who gets into their network because they are particularly careful with people that might potentially bring fraudulent leads. This is of course understandable so the best thing you can do to get yourself into the network is to be honest with them and call them right off the bat to get a quick interview from them.
Most people are afraid to give the networks a phone call. In fact there’s nothing to be afraid of. All the network wants to know is if you are a legitimate marketer and they would like to know more about your traffic source. Therefore be prepared to let them know how you plan to drive your traffic. This will help you get into the networks easier. If you are a newbie, just let them know and tell them how you plan to bring in traffic from paid advertising or SEO. Most of the time, this should be able to get you through the verification process. For those outside of the USA, these rules apply to you as well. All you have to do to get in is to give them a quick call.
Work with your affiliate manager.
Perhaps one of the best advantages that you get when you join a CPA network as opposed to traditional affiliate networks like Clickbank is that you get yourself a dedicated Affiliate Manager. Now the wise thing to do here is to actually communicate often with your affiliate manager. As a CPA marketer, you need to be in the know when it comes to statistics. Therefore you need to familiarize yourself with their best converting offers and what kind of traffic converts best on their top offers. All this information will come from your affiliate manager.
If you feel that your affiliate manager is unpleasant then you should request for a change on your affiliate manager. Obviously you will want to work with someone that can meet your demands. Most of the time, the affiliate networks will honor your request to change your affiliate manager given the right reasons. Get a good affiliate manager on your side, and then get on the good side of your affiliate manager. Getting on the good side of your affiliate manager will ensure that you can easily get that affiliate commission bump that you will soon want when you are making money with your offers.
Your affiliate manager should have the right stats that you need for each offer. Ask him or her important question like what offers are converting right now and which offer has the most amount of affiliate promoting with success. All these questions are valuable to helping you find the best offer that will make you money. If you specialize on a certain traffic source say, PPC traffic, then you should ask your affiliate managers which offers get the best results from PPC traffic. If you are open to a lot of traffic sources then looking for an offer with the best EPC and then ask your affiliate manager to recommend a few traffic sources that has been doing well on that offer that you found. I am sure you are beginning to see just how much more easily your affiliate life can be when you are able to work closely with a good affiliate manager.
Follow the rules.
As mentioned earlier, CPA networks are strict these days and the reason is that they want all the leads that come with from their affiliates to be legit. That’s why you will need to read the rule of each offer and make sure that your marketing style complies with their rules. You do not want to do anything shady and risk your account from getting banned. If your account does get banned you can say goodbye to all your earnings that has not been paid to you yet.
Of course there have been cases where CPA networks accidentally banned the wrong account. So don’t panic, if your account gets banned. As long as you are doing the right things and that you made sure you follow all the rules, call them up or contact them to resolve the issue. If indeed the error was made by them, they will apologize to you and let you back in. All in all, go for white hat methods and grow your CPA business the smart way and you will end up becoming the hero of the network.
