How to Get Accepted into CPA Networks
If you want to make money with CPA offers, the first thing you have to do is join one or more CPA networks.
This step scares off a lot of people because you have to apply, you have to go through a phone interview, they will probably review your website if you have one, and then they decide whether or not to accept you.
This is not nearly as difficult as it seems.
I got in to Hydra and Tatto Media without any issue. Here’s how I did it. I used a referral link that I got from a forum.
Here is a referral link for Hydra that you can use: http://network.hydranetwork.com/refer.php?id=41690
Here is a referral link for Tatto: http://www.tattomedia.com/affiliates/signup/2093
The reason I’m posting these links for you is that it is easier to get in the networks if you come in through a referral.
For Hydra, a few days after you submit your application they will call you. If you miss their call, call them back, press 1 for the Affiliate line.
When you speak with them you have to tell them that you will be using PPC as the source of traffic. If you don’t have a list or a website, that’s okay because you will be spending money on PPC and that is fine with them.
The questions they asked me were (my answers in parenthesis):
–How do you get your traffic? (PPC)
–How long have you been doing Affiliate Marketing? (9 months)
–How much do you spend each month? ($250-$300)
–What niches are currently working for you? (technology, health, real estate)
–What other networks are you working for? (Clickbank, CJ, Share-A-Sale)
Basically, they seem to want to know that you are a real person, that you have a plan on how you are going to do your marketing. If you have answers to these questions that are reasonable then you will be accepted.
Give it a try, you have nothing to lose.
I’ve been reading along for a while now. I just wanted to drop you a comment to say keep up the good work.
I apologise if I hve already posted this here – i cant recall. Id like people to benefit from my exerience of getting accepted so here goes.
this A day ago I got a call from Maxbounty to accept my application. It seemed pretty easy to get accepted and I am from the UK not the USA which I thought might go against me somewhat. I guess I had a few things in my favour. This is what I did when applying and during the telephone conversation:
Used one of my high quality sites as an example when filling in the application. My background is pure affiliate marketing sales so I had a lot of sites already.
Used a professional email address – the same as the website I submitted. My site was http://www.clearskinpores.com so i generated an email from that. Its been going for about a year which helps because I read somewhere that the older the domain the better when they look at the site. Also i’ts my best performing site and is at the top of google. Not necessary but helps. (this is not me trying to publicise my site or spread spam – its just so you all can see the type of site MaxBounty liked)
Have a niche that you have a personal interest in. Mine was health related products. This happened purely by accident – as soon as i told them that their ears pricked up.
Know how u r going to get them traffic to their offers and tell them. I listed at length all the methods I use and that I am going to use – I was honest.
In my application I told them about my keyword research. Eg I found a relevant word that has a monthly search of 2.4 million with little competion. i bought all the domains for it and spoke about this in my application.
The affiliate manager gave me some of their highest paying offers to start promoting.
All I can say is that everyone’s experience is different. As long as u know your stuff you will have a good chance – Ive had 2 acceptances and no rejections so far!!!
NOTE: I will tell you right now – the easiest ones to get into are Hydra and CPAbullet. If you want a referrallink for CPA bullet you can use http://cpabullet.net/signup/1371
Good luck!!!
