What are the risks involved with CPA?

It's totally FREE to apply for almost all cpa network. One thing to keep in mind though... only work with trusted network like ewanetwork, neverblue, cpatrend, envyusmedia, and peerfly etc.

The conversion rate is totally different for every offer and niche.

Thank you for you answer.

While searching for answers about what cpa is and how you can profit from it I understand that you must use some payed method like PPC to attract traffic to your lending page with the CPA offer. Also it comes to my attention that some of the network will not pay you if the conversion rate of the whole campaign is small.

So that is actually what I would like to know, how much "trusted" are this networks? Because if they don't pay you and you spend money for the promotion, even if it is some bucks, you lose, right?

Losing money.

Opps .. You are new ! There is huge risk involve in cpamarketing if you are new in industry .You should read some ebooks "How to start ? " . You also need to get in touch with some big warriors . They know "how to teach ?"


best of luck !

Risks are simple = you can lose your shirt. Its like saying "what are the risks of gambling or investing into stocks". What you wanna do is take CALCULATED risks ... which means have some knowledge and experience behind you before you start spending loads of money.

Any questions just let me know

The risks...

If you are paying for stuff like traffic, software, etc then clearly there is a monetary risk. In truth, you can do everything without ever riskign a penny though, that's what I find fascinating.

Risking time. Of course you can put time in without a return. Everybody's time is worth something, so if you walk away without a bigger bank account, than you lost time. We all have limited time on this planet.

Legal. Like any business, depending on what you do and how you do it, you always run the risk of people/entities suing you. It's the nature of any business


Networks...

They work by giving you access to offers and then paying you commissions. That's a very simple broad overview of course but they are just there as middle men to facilitate the interaction between publishers and advertisers.

Will they pay for all your leads? Hopefully. If you are doing everything within the rules and using a good network, then almost always they will. If you are breaking the rules, they may not.


Conversions...

It all depends on what you are doing. Conversion rates can be extremely high above 50% if you are doing a squeeze page or have extremely targeted traffic to a high converting low payout offer. Conversion rates can be below 1% as well. Neither is better, its really about margin and return, not conversion rates.

What kenster said.

But seriously, I think it is based on how you promote the CPA offer. If you use paid traffic, you could potentially increasing the risk of losing money. This depends on the conversion and payout of the offer.

hey all, i'm new here so please excuse me if i ask something too obvious

when using PPC advertising, is my $100 offer enough to get started. what do you guys (who have had success) think is the minimum you can spend using PPC to see if an offer is converting? $100? $500? $1000? how big is the risk?

there is a risk with untrusted networks. so the best thing to do is, join only with trusted networks. then there would not be any issue at all.

I think every business has its own risks to consider, you can play as safe as you can be and suddenly out of no where, someone drop a bomb at you for no reason what so ever.
So Just enjoy the ride while it last!
