Tips and Advice
- Use a REAL email address at your business domain NOT a gmail/hotmail account – The majority of unprofessional scam applicants use free email services. By using a business email such as contact@yourdomain.com they perceive you as being a legitimate, serious and professional applicant.
- Rather than contact@yourdomain.com use your first and last name, it will count in your favor.
- Never leave any of the form fields blank.
- Use a valid phone number, some will phone you.
- Never use PO box as your address.
- Make sure you are available at all times to answer the phone call from the Affiliate Manager.
The answers to these questions should be used as a guideline, if you are new to CPA marketing take the time to do some research and learn the basics, there is more than enough free information on the subject. The simple truth behind all the questions is that CPA networks don’t want completely inexperienced affiliates in their networks.

Almost everyone that makesmoney on the internet (even the millionaires) do so through affiliate marketing. Being successful in affiliate marketing involves knowing the formula that makes other affiliate marketers successful. For instance, autoblogging. Autoblogging has been one of the least well-known forms of making money on the internet for quite some time… mainly because it’s quite difficult to make a good auto-blog. Yet, when done right, it can provide you with a constant passive income with the only real work required being the setting up process. Video Marketing, and several other marketing strategies are all designed to drive traffic to your site, can be incorporated steadily in order to raise the position your site appears in the SERPs when any one searches for a term related to your site. And yet, even this can be totally automated.
Most affiliate marketers who are making decent money these days are promoting Cost-Per-Action, or CPA ads. The reason for this marketers don’t need to close high cost sales in order to get credited for a conversion.
