MUST KNOW: Questions CPA Networks are going to ask you! BE PREPARED!

A phone call from a CPA network can be a nerve-racking thing. You really want to get accepted, you're trying not to slip up, but you're not sure what they're going to ask you...

I've applied to enough CPA networks to know pretty much all the questions that they are possibly going to ask you. Some networks require a phone call, others do not.

================================================
MAIN QUESTIONS

- How do you get traffic?
The network wants to make sure you are getting real visitors and that your site is legit. If you get traffic through SEO and PPC, you'll be good.

How many unique visitors do you get per month?
Why would a network accept someone with 10 unique visitors per month? You get the point. They are looking to see that you actually have an audience for their offers. They are usually looking for over 10K unique visitors a month, usually more in the 30K+ range.

- Do you have incentive offers on your website?
ALWAYS SAY NO! It's just like for google adsense, you cannot tell people to click on your ads. Though now we are seeing more and more content locking CPA networks so in that case, incentivizing offers would be OK (through offering guides or other downloads).

- Are you with any other affiliate companies?
The network is looking to see if you are new to CPA or if you have experience. It's best if you say you are apart of two or three other ones. Choose whatever ones you'd like. This is to show you have experience and that other networks have put trust in you. There's a sticky thread here that lists a whole bunch of them (the network you are applying to will not check to make sure you are apart of the ones you say you are).

Other Questions

- How did you hear about us?
This is more of a casual question. Just say their network was recommended to you or that you searched for a good one in Google and theirs came up.

- What is your internet experience?
The network is looking to see if you are a total newbie to CPA. Even if you are it's not that big of a deal. Just tell them how long you have been interested in internet marketing (1+ years is ideal).

- What kind of offers are you interested in?
The network is looking to see what your niche is. If you'd promote anything, just say you're interested in promoting high converting offers.

- How much do you spend on advertising per month?
If this ever comes up, you can either say that you get enough traffic naturally that you don't need to pay for advertising, or say that you get a lot of traffic through advertising so you spend $500+ a month.

================================================

When it comes down to it, they just want to know that you are actually going to promote their products and in a way in which their advertisers would approve of.

I hope this calmed your nerves a little. If you'd like more information on what to say, let me know. Also, post on how your conversations go!
