I love CPA

by swayman
31 replies
After about 1 year promoting CPA offers, I really in love with this business.

The thing about CPA is that even though there are some offers that are expired but they keep on coming back.

So if that's the case then how could it possibly ended?

I just love it.

    I'm sure if u ask anyone doing CPA, they'll more than likely love doing it than anything else. It is so lucrative and fun finding new ways to promote offers. Thats what makes it so enjoyable.

        Like the stock market! This is true for paid traffic, but you can just as easily set up CPA campaigns to have no financial risk by working with free traffic which is also very lucrative. Pretty exciting that you can approach the CPA business in many different ways that fits your personality, no matter what personality that is!

        Lead generation in the online world will grow tremendously (in my opinion). I find it amazing how many companies still aren't leveraging the internet to get leads, but they will! And remember there are so many marketers still completely untapped (as for CPL). I think there is going to be absolutely MASSIVE and EXPLOSIVE potential in the non-us lead gen market in the coming 10 years.

            Remember, I think total internet pentration is only at like 28% or something like that. BUT even more important than that is looking at hwo companies in non-english speaking countries are using the internet. There is much more growth in terms of numbers and potential to market online its crazy!

          Kenster, you're absolutely right... and you live in the US! I live in Brazil and people are bidding $1 on keywords related to auto insurance here! It's because the companies still haven't figured out that they can grow exponentially by using the web.

          Lead generation is already huge in the US, UK, AU, CA, etc (although it's still growing insanelly fast in those countries), but it's something that's still haven't reached the third world. When it happens, we will have even more markets to profit from!

          So true. But the stock market requires a MASSIVE investment to be able to pull out any type of decent profits. And it has so much limitation on it's availability.

          It's important for all of us as publishers to keep on sending them quality leads, that way the big boys will see just how effective CPA business model is.

            If you are doing typical long investment then you are absolutely correct. A well diversified portfolio sees a modest average return at best.

            BUT, start using the power of leverage and options and you can insanely multiply your profits (or losses). For example, leverage the heck out of a gold or silver play last week and you could have multipled your investment many many many times over (or owe a lot of money)

            Clearly leverage works both ways, but the point is that in the market, its not simply put in $1000 and earn a 10% profit. For illustrative purposes I can borrow $100,000 on a short term leveraged derivative play and make a ton of money without having any (or having very little) money at all.


            But back to CPA...I know exactly what you were getting at Jeff and agree with you

            What if you run a huge dating campaign promoting eHarmony. You can help thousands of people find boyfriends and girlfriends at an established company and made a lot of money doing it.

            There are many other ways besides rebills and shady offers to make money with CPA

            Ok, maybe that wasn't very convincing but its true!

              I disagree, that was very convincing and VERY true. I agree 100%!

              There are tons of shady offers, but there are just as many really GOOD offers as well. Just like Kenster said, dating is very non-shady, and people most definitely know what they are getting into. And the offers are limitless and going nowhere in the next, oh... lifetime.

              Yeah, debt relief and finance offers can be shady too, but some are good. It just depends of their terms and how they conduct their business. Many people are happy to get out of debt ( if it's legit ), and happy to get approved for loans as well.

              Travel? Hell yeah, who isn't happy to get big discounts and coupons to save money on travel?

              Free Credit Report? Who doesn't benefit by being able to check their credit score for free?

              My opinion is that fake **** Berry/Resv, Flogs, and fake products have given CPA a bad name. There is good and bad in all forms of business.

      I think doing CPA is not the same with selling an e-book "how to products" where you're gonna need some "Reputation" , long sales letter, with lots of glowing testimonials telling people just how wonderful your product and making everybody realizes just what an amazing person you are.

      CPA is requiring a different set of skills such as fast, smooth and direct.

      I'm making hundreds of Dollars everyday promoting some offers about something that I don't even know what exactly, I was just assuming that it's like this or that, and people would take it without even know my name.

      It's just a 300 words mini site with no testimonials and no signature but converting like crazy...

      So I don't think you need any reputation at all, wow I can't believe I just said that...but it's true.

      I think that there are good and bad products online just like there are good and bad products offline. You don't need to have a computer to get scammed!

      So I wouldn't consider not doing CPA just because some offers are not legit, while there are hundreds on good offer out there.

      You don't have to promote that stuff if you don't want to. I promote only ethical stuff and it does sell.

    Yep same here.

    Things like lead generation in the finance or travel industry will ALWAYS be there. They wont go away. You will have your booms and busts (including recessions) but they wont disappear ... not in this lifetime!

    The thing people forget is that CPA is incredibly wide and diverse and can't be judged by a niche, or a specific traffic source, or an offer, or a type of offer. It's too big to paint the whole industry based on one small aspect of it.


    Think about this. Say you go to a small used car dealer and buy a car. You find out that the used car salesman actually turned back the miles on the car, the engine is held together by duct, whcih should keep it together just long enough for you to get it home. Teh engine was advertised as a 300hp v8 and its really a 30hp. All the scheduled maintenance and fluids were promised to be brand new to find out they have never been changed. You get the picture...you purchased a car from this sneaky salesman and got scammed from every direction without knowing it.

    Is it fair to claim the automotive industry is all fraud and scams?

    Of course its not. The automotive industry is huge and wide and small used car salesmen are a tiny part of the automotive industry. Furthermore, the majority of used car salesman are legit and ethical so even claiming used car salesmen are unethical isn't fair.

    Maybe a really dumb analogy but hopefully you get the point I was trying to make!

      When i first got started, I'm using SEO traffic, but then got slapped by Google, I think Google doesn't like CPA websites in its SERP, i dunno maybe I'm wrong.

      After that I started using PPC Adwords and been doing it ever since. Select an offer, keyword research, set up a campaign, sleep, in the morning check the stats. IT'S really simple actually, very fun.

    Reading is great and a must. But doing is equally important. Remember you don't need to start with paid traffic, in fact I'd recommend against jumping in to paid traffic until you learn more about it. But you will learn a lot more about CPA and any marketing in general by doing.

    Also focus is key. So in addition to reading and doing, try to stay focused. Pick a traffic/promotion method and master it. Many of us have been the victim of the magpie syndrome, shiny method here, shiny new method there. Try one thing once, it doesn't work, so move on to the next.

    Very rarely is a campaign a winner from the getgo, you need to tweak, optimise, and scale. If you wrote 10 articles but got no conversions, why is that? Find the problem and try to fix it. If you created 20 videos and you got only 2 conversions, great! You found something that works, now optimize it and scale it like crazy.

    It's not easy, it takes work, but it can sure be fun, and very rewarding. I think I lost the point the OP was making lol. Oh yeah, I love CPA too!
