How To Make Money With CPA Marketing – CPA 101
I just created a FREE 30 minute video about CPA Marketing and how the big dogs are making thousands a day. Some really BIG DOGS make as much as $100,000 a day….. no kidding.
Just sign up for my weekly newsletter below and I’ll take you to the video.
Are You On The CPA Bandwagon Yet?
I know a lot of my readers are affiliate marketers…… but many of them have never really done anything with the CPA networks yet.
What’s a CPA network?
In a nutshell, it’s like an affiliate program but instead of a product, the referral that you get paid on can be an “Action” like filling out a form with personal information or taking a customer survey. Most CPA networks pay out anywhere from 0.25 to $50 per action…. however, many are in the $1 to $2 range.
Sounds like a pretty good deal, right? It can be if you know what you’re doing…… it can also be a frustrating path to take if you are not careful.
First of all, it can be pretty hard to get accepted to many CPA networks. You will want to find the right networks to join.
Here is a site that has a pretty good list of CPA networks……. go can do a Google Search to find more.
I think the biggest thing when joining a CPA network is you really need to treat it like it’s a job interview. These CPA networks have SO many people that are trying to scam them that they really have had to tighten the belt when it comes to accepting new affiliates.
My recommendation is to have a company first and a good website where you are selling yourself and your company as a successful internet marketing company. Sure you can do it on your own without a company…. just have to make sure you can “Sell Yourself”.
Don’t even think about submitting an application ’til you have all the pieces in place. Put yourself in the place of the affiliate manager…… would you accept yourself with what you are about to submit?
Another recommendation is to submit your application and then immediately call the CPA company… tell them who you are and that you want to speak to an account rep. Build a relationship with them right from day one. Most of the time, they will approve you on the spot. The main thing is that they want to make sure you are not going to be sending “Junk” or “Bad” traffic….. (Think major Black Hat tricks….. they are big “no nos”.)
Your account rep is your life-blood of your CPA business. Most of my account reps contact me via email and IM on a daily basis……
Once you are in a CPA network…. well, promoting is a different story. I’ll post another article in the future about ways I like to promote my CPA offers.
I’d like to hear your feedback…. tell me your opinions on the best CPA networks you like to work with.
Guy Claims 100K A Day..Is He Really Doing Arbitrage Or Just Slick Marketing?
So if you if you haven’t heard of 100kdaily.com (I’m not linking to it because I can’t vouch for his offer yet)…… you probably will soon. My Twitter was flooded last week with links to this guy’s site.
In a nutshell, some guy is claiming to make 50 to 100K a day doing Arbitrage. My good friends Russell Brunson and Mike Filsaime attended his one day (by invitation) seminar where it looks like it was to drum up some hype. People paid 10K to go to his one day deal….
I downloaded the .pdf he is offering….. read through half….. haven’t watched the video yet. Trying to stay focused on my current project but I get the idea of what they are doing.
In fact I’ve done a TON of Arbitrage in the past with Adsense……. in the good old days when it was like printing money.
Arbitrage can work. And I know from experience that the levels of earnings they are claiming can be archived….. BUT…… I’m very curious to know what the REAL motivation behind this is.
Back in the day when I had my Arbitrage business running in full force, the LAST thing I ever wanted to do was tell others how to do it. Eventually, others figured it out and the party was over.
Think about it……. if you are netting 50K a day that’s over 18 million a year…… that’s your profit…… double that if you say you’re making 100K.
Do you see where I’m going with this? I don’t care who you are……. nobody that has a system like this that is making 18 to 32 million would ever share the system……
So that leads to these conclusions….
1. It doesn’t really work that well…… I actually believe that it DOES work. There are systems out there that can make you thousands a day online….. but I highly doubt they are going to show you the real secrets.
2. It used to work but not as well anymore. The fact of the matter is Arbitrage can be a SUPER RISKY venture. Here you are buying the cheapest traffic you can find…… which is usually the poorest quality. The vendors see you’re sending a HUGE load of traffic but at the end of the day….. conversions don’t pay the bills…… then vendors can yank your payments or claim fraud…….. it happens all the time.
3. It is too risky. Possibly the risk was too great….. payments were withheld……. or traffic sources dried up…… time to turn to plan B……. sell a training package.
Now they do mention that they are starting a CPA company and perhaps it’s just a way to get a ton of people pushing CPA offers…..
But if the income claims are true……. 18 to 32 million? Who wouldn’t be satisfied with that? So it really makes you think…… why.
———-
Sending CPA offers via PPC works and works well if you can figure it out……. it’s not as easy as they claim.
It will be interesting to see where this goes…….

UPDATE 2 HOURS LATER
Ok so just got this email from Mike Filsaime…… this explains why the guy is doing it…..
Hi Joel
Last year, this nice, self admitted Geeky guy sits next to me as I am about to board a bus with him and several other people going to our Maverick Business Extreme Vacation.
Now, I know every one of the “Mavericks”
are millionaires but I did not know him well.
He says,
“Hey Mike, my name is Aymen, Remember when I used to IM ( instant messenger ) you years back.”
And I actually remember this young guy that that kept telling me he was going to “make it”
in the business.
So I just assumed he made it, but I had no idea HOW much.
He is very humble and never let me know just how well he was doing.
HOW WELL?
Well, he:
- PROFITS over $50,000 to $100,000 PER DAY
- has some of the most downloaded apps on Facebook
- had over 50 Million Facebook users download his apps
- has dozens of Stanford Grad programmers he pays over
$100k – $150k per year.
So a few months ago he and I spoke on the phone and he told me he was going to share his information with the I.M. Community.
I asked him “WHY”
He told me that he did not like much of the confusing information being given to the market and that he has more money than he can spend and he wants to help others get the knowledge that he did not have.
Aymen is not one to brag.
He does not want fame.
He does NOT want to be a GURU.
In fact, Yanik Silver has asked him MANY MANY times to speak at his UNDERGROUND event and many times Aymen has said “No.” as he is just not comfortable with the lime light on him.
So Aymen and I talked. I was happy that he had asked me as well as some other marketers for the best way to share this.
Well, recently he had a PRIVATE event for 100 of the top marketers in the industry that went over his marketing strategy.
It was in Las Vegas at the Venetian Hotel and he spoke to a JAM PACKED room of marketers that were blown away with what he shared.
Well, now he is not only giving away a FREE report about his marketing, but he is also doing a live call for you that you MUST make.

Please make sure to get his report now
and get on this call as well.
There are not many people I know (if any) that make $100k per day in profit so you really need to learn from him.
