CPA - Another Way To Earn From the Internet

Tuesday, April 28, 2009
In the "online money making" industry, there is a great abundance of opportunities available that will help you earn a living online, supplement your existing income, save up for a rainy day, or to simply enhance your skills, paying you to learn as you go. There is however, yet another lucrative opportunity up for grabs, one that may not be as widely understood as mainstream activities like that of blogging or affiliate marketing, but just as profitable, if not more so. It's called CPA Marketing, and whether you are brand new to online marketing and business in general, or you are seasoned enough to see an opportunity with potential, CPA is quickly attracting attention and generating a buzz amongst those who want to maximize their time and efforts quickly and easily.

CPA (cost per action) is also known as PPA (pay per action) and is an online marketing opportunity that pays you based on a specific structure or model. For example, if you participated in CPA offers, you would be paid each time a prospect completed a specific action, such as registering on a website, filling out a form, signing up for an offer, or perhaps just visiting a particular website.

The requirements often range from a single email opt-in to lengthier form processing including three, four page surveys, application forms as well as downloading software, scripts, demos and screen savers. While CPA offers vary and the requirements associated with being credited for an 'action', there are an abundance of high paying CPA offers and programs that you can get involved in.

Most CPA Companies pay out anywhere from $.25 right up to $4.00 for a single email capture (visitor enters in their email for information), with other CPA opportunities paying out as much as $150.00 for a multi-part process or a more in depth requirement where your prospect may need to verify their address, accept a free trial offer and at times, your payment will only be credited weeks later once your prospect has completed the process.

In order to begin earning money with CPA offers, you will need to enroll into a handful of CPA based programs. There are networks available online that house a large variety of CPA offers, enabling you to join one website and being given the opportunity to participate in multiple programs from many different companies.

Once you have been accepted into a CPA program, you will be given a unique affiliate link, just as you would if you joined a traditional affiliate program. This link identifies you as an affiliate and tracks all of your activity, primarily your sales and in turn, provides you with conversion rates and other information that can help you determine how well your promotional campaigns are doing.

All of this tracking is done by the CPA network itself, where your account information is stored. One of the best things about working with a CPA network is that you can promote multiple CPA offers, covering a wide variety of niche markets and receive one paycheck for your total earnings combined.
