The Temptation is Strong, but...

mmixon · 08-15-2009, 11:29 AM

I, like most of you have been bombarded with the latest and greatest CPA network. But I feel like a guy that is buying a franchise, but already has the expertise of running their own online business. And the videos and ad copy is compelling, I just don't know if it is worth the $200 up front and the $99 a month for the rest of my life.

It is appealing that you are pre-approved in hundreds of CPA networks, and the point and click website maker and banner makers are nice, but does this system really put you in a position to make more money months quicker than if I went thru the process and just did it myself?

Just looking for some opinions of some of you that are currently active in the CPA market. I have done affiliate marketing, mostly promoting clickbank products thru affiliate websites. And was considering adding the CPA process as an additional stream of income. The process looks pretty straight forward, and is very similar to what I currently do. And in the end, all in all I guess it is all about the traffic.

Your opinions please?

Thanks,
Mickey Mixon

Each person has their own learning capability and their own time constraints. So for someone with limited constraints in both will opt for a package that can teach them this business and support them during the process. For others like you - I would say get free resources and just try to do it yourself without the ultra expensive packaged products.

I am not sure exactly what you are referring to, but most CPA networks will approve you if you aren't from a 3rd world country and present yourself in a professional manner. Most give you banners to use for the promotions and LP's are quite simple to whip up yourself or outsource for a few bucks. Besides you don't want template LP's anyways as they will be footprinted.

If you are talking about what I think you are talking about, then it is the laughing stock of 'real' CPA affiliates as the joke is on you.

It's Simple in life, be 100% original, sell a product in high demand,with tons of Internet traffic and you'll get rich. I wouldn't do what others are doing. If CPA is what you want fine...........but I think there's many wonderful ways to make money online. Search them out !!

Lol i would assume you are referring to affiliate jump? I personally dont have a good impression of them coupled with many of the other sentiments by other warriors here as well who also feel more or less the same way. Unless you are confident and know your ropes, i suggest concentrating on making more money from your present CPA networks first.

Good Luck!
