Which is better CPA or Affiliate?

15 replies
Hi. I have confusion that should i start with affiliate marketing or CPA. I know that for CPA you need to have some experience in affiliate marketing. As a newbie, I think first I have to concentrate on affiliate marketing then afterwards on CPA. What are the pros of cpa over affiliate? Do you think i have to concentrate on promoting clickbank products. Cheers.

    Once you joined a CPA network, you'll become an affiliate marketer. CPA is a good start to learn affiliate marketing... earning while learning...

        No, usually a free WordPress blog on internet marketing will do it. Also it's not necessary to have a website. You can call CPA network on phone, and tell them how would you drive traffic to offers (PPC, PPV, YouTube, FaceBook, Twitter, Email marketing, etc.).

        In My experience the main Thing is answer to question HOW YOU will PROMOTE OFFERS

        If you are able to answer this question correctly than you can get approval without having website , When i started CPA Marketing i had 10 websites but i did n`t mentioned them instead i told them my strategy how i will do promotion and i got accepted in top networks.

    Affiliate marketing is very easy to get into... However, you still need to promote the products correctly and systematically.

    Joining CPA programs on the other hand can be really tough.

      Care to explain why? promoting CPA products especially zip submit is the easier affiliate marketing.. promoting physical products is tougher that what I just said...

    I would prefer CPA. CPA Offers are easier to convert than asking people to pull out their credit cards and buy something!

    And here is a FREE WSO about CPA marketing - http://www.warriorforum.com/warrior-...0-day-cpa.html

    Hope it helps

    CPA is a little easier as you do not have to sell anything. If you have a decent amount of traffic you could make hundreds of dollars every day just by getting people to enter their zip code. Getting you application approved can be tough if you have only just started, but there are so many cpa networks around that being accepted by at least a few of them is not an issue.

    Affiliate marketing is more difficult to master, but just like with anything else the secret is to keep on learning, practice, test and then more testing until you get it right.

    Hmm

    I would disagree. CPA is just an umbrella term for Cost-Per-Action ... which can mean anything in affiliate terms: Get paid per "action" such as a sale, signup, form submit, quote, lead ... its too broad and VERY COMPLEX!

    That's why I always so go into pure lead generation with offers that pay a lot such as insurance, debt and investment offers. Also, NEVER go for backend commissions (i.e. sale), insist on being paid per "lead". You make much more money that way!

    CPA makes me good money, I'm all for it.

    PS - It's true, it really is hard to get into CPA programs sometimes. Look for some WSO's that offer insight into this.
