Trying to get approved for my first CPA network...have good foundation but not a track record promoting offers as yet...

Anyone have advice about the telephone interview?

Thanks for any insight!

You can find a lot of great info here for the interview. Just do a search on "cpa interviews" or something similar.

The interviews are short and to the point. They'll want to know how you'll get traffic and also what your experience is in any type of online marketing.

Get a website for a niche you want to focus on and begin there.

I hope this helps.

I have the red-hot, sure-fire, 100% guaranteed way to get into ANY CPA network.

Ready for it? Here it is:

Be honest.

I think the impression that a lot of people have is that the CPA networks are ONLY looking for affiliates who are already doing $800k/day, and they don't want to waste their time on newbies. So the newbies get on and say "yeah, I'm making $800k/day and spending about $20k/day on advertising." Sure, that might get you accepted, but since you've made this huge claim, your AM is going to be watching your account and waiting for the traffic to come rolling in. Then when it doesn't, they wonder if you lied to them during the interview.

Know what type of people the networks are really wanting to keep out? Not the newbies necessarily, but the fraudsters and liars who send junk and/or bl*ackhat traffic. And since you just said that you send tons of traffic when you actually don't...you just got labeled as a liar. Networks won't care nearly as much if you're a new affiliate, than if you say that you're a CPA veteran but then you don't back it up once you get in.

My total CPA earnings are less than $50, and I've spent more than I've made on advertising. My PPC/PPV budget is less than $20/day. I'm with Neverblue, Copeac, Maxbounty, and DPower Media; I told them the truth during the interview, and wouldn't you know it, my 100% guaranteed acceptance method worked.

I recommend joining some smaller CPA networks before you apply to the "big dogs," so your interviewer sees that you have some experience and credibility with other networks.

P.S. - The $800k/day figure is obviously an exaggeration...

Great advice by Roman


Yes, networks are looking for people making 50k per day, but if you arent putting up big numbers they are 100% fine accepting you. Their main concern is that you are legit and dont get fraud traffic and arent doing BlueFart stuff. If you are honest you should be fine.

I barely knew what cpa stood for and got accepted to 9 out of 10 networks when I first started. Its not a huge deal, just be honest!

AM also depend on you for their pay. That the reason some are very choosy.

They depend on you for their pay but they earn at least a little bit even if you arent pulling big numbers. If you make 200 bucks per week, then thats a few bucks in their pocket. They care less if you are pulling big numbers then if you are pulling legit traffic.

If you bring bad, non-legit traffic that doesnt convert, the advertiser gets mad. Remember, the cpa network is the middle man between affilaites and the advertisers who run the offers. They have to satisfy both parties and the way to do that is to control to make sure all traffic is legit.

The best relationship between al parties is a partnership where everybody is working together and in the end everybody does well. Be honest, play by the rules and the big pay days will come!
