If you have been around affiliate marketing and online money making niche in general, i am sure you have heard of CPA by now, and probably have heard people referring to CPA as “fast millionaire maker”. But do you know what CPA is and how you can benefit from it? Well, today i am going to answer those questions and tell you what exactly CPA is.
What is CPA?
Well, the short answer would be that “CPA” stands for “Cost Per Action” or “Cost Per Acquisition”. Cost Per Action means that your reader/visitor just has to take a specific action like entering a valid email address, click on a link, request a free sample, etc. Cost Per Acquisition on the other hand means that the readers/visitor has to actually purchase something, be it a product or a service.

It is almost like affiliate marketing. In fact you could call it a form of affiliate marketing. It is basically a form of advertising generated by a third party in which you are paid for hosting or promoting that party’s ad or link, based strictly on actions your readers take. It’s basically you, generating leads for advertiser.
How does CPA work?
After registering with a CPA network, you can pick one or more of the offers available in their data base. Some offers are free and just require simple information like entering an email address or zip code, and some are paid ones, which means in order for you to be paid, the lead that you send to that offer page has to purchase a product or service. Each offer has its own requirements and payout. Usually offers that require purchase of some kind pay bigger commissions. You can expect to be paid for paid offers (Cost Per Acquisition) from $4 to $50 or more. Although free offers (Cost Per Action) pay less, it doesn’t mean they are not worth it. Some Cost Per Action offers pay up to $10 per lead, but most Cost Per Action offers pay anywhere from $1 to up to $5 per lead, depending on the requirements.
How do you promote CPA offer?
Cpa is all about traffic. You have to drive traffic to the advertiser’s website. Of course just like affiliate marketing, you will be given a special link with your unique id embedded in it, which then you have to use that link to send potential leads to the advertisers site. Every time someone clicks on that link and completes the requirements, you will get paid accordingly. Although most CPA advertisers allow any kind of traffic ( your own website, search engine, social networking sites and etc), some offers have their own restrictions and rules as to what kind of traffic is allowed. That information will be available when you pick an offer to promote.
What are the requirements for CPA?
The beauty of CPA is that almost anyone can do it and you don’t need a website or a blog to make money with CPA. Although you may need a website or blog to get accepted by a CPA network. CPA networks do this, simple because they want to make sure you have been around internet marketing and know a thing or two about it. So as long as you can show them you know what your doing, you are good to go.
