Applying For A CPA Account

When you fill out an application, place a n/a in the website requirement field. Then, in the comments block or space attached to the registration form, explain that you intend to use PPC (Pay Per Click) marketing as a way of promoting the offers.

Pay Per Click marketing on sites like Google Adwords do not require that you have a website, and potential CPA companies understand this and are likely to approve you if you take the time to explain your intentions. Do not just mark the website requirement field as N/A and fail to provide information as to your marketing campaign tactics or you will not be accepted.

Still, if possible, the easiest way to be ensure your acceptance is to simply spend a couple of hours creating a blog using a platform such as Wordpress, or one of the free web development tools available through resources such as http://www.xsitepro.com/ .

By purchasing a $8 domain and a $5 hosting account with services such as www.HostGator.com, you can easily set up a professional looking website that is sure to be accepted by any CPA network or program that you are interested in.

If you do create a website, you can apply for CPA offfers even before it begins to generate traffic by following the same format as described above, indicating that your website is new but that you purchase traffic through PPC, or media buys. This will easily explain why you do not currently have organic, natural SEO traffic to your website.

When asked how much experience you have online, which is a field often included on any CPA registration form, indicate that you have at least 1 1/2 years experience. They are interested in seasoned marketers more so than new affiliates so by indicating that you are not a newcomer and have substantial experience inonline advertising, you are likely to push the odds of being accepted in your favor.

When asked what "Verticals" or offers that you currently promote, indicate that you focus on Entertainment, Business Opportunities, Finance and Health.

In addition, make sure that you provide a valid email address and avoid using a free email service like gmail.com or Hotmail, but instead, create a domain based email account from within your hosting panel such as yourname@yourcompany.com or support@yoursite.com.

Once you have submitted your application, expect to receive a phone call from the CPA network or programs that you are interested in joining as many of these companies will call each applicant, individually to verify your request to join and to compile a bit of information on you in order to create an affiliate profile.

When they call, be sure to answer the phone as allowing it to go to voicemail will cause your application to be put on hold until they are able to reach you.If you are interested in using a call forwarding service that will cloak your phone number, ensuring privacy and allowing you to turn off all calls at certain hours to avoid interruptions during family time, you can subscribe to GotVmail's service at http://www.GotVmail.com.

If you do receive a call from a CPA Network while you are unavailable, be sure to return their call as quickly as possible. This will show them that you are a serious, and proactive affiliate and are genuinely interested in their program. If you do not receive a call within a day or two, consider calling them.

Once approved, you will be assigned an affiliate manager who will provide personal support in helping you get started with CPA marketing. Your affiliate manager is responsible for helping you choose the best, top converting offers, as well as providing you with tracking code and other tools and resources to help you create your campaigns and start promoting.

One of the things that many new CPA members fail to realize, is that your affiliate manager wants you to succeed, as their earnings are dependent on how well you do, so take advantage of this support system and contact your affiliate manager whenever you need help choosing programs to promote, or simply have questions.
