I'd make an ad and a landing page about my recurring CPA offer, for example first month free offer and promote that ad here for example Advertising by MBP | Email Advertising | Text Link Ads | Guaranteed traffic

When I find an ad which converts good, I'd buy ad space from some forum related to my niche. What do you think about this?

I have no earlier experience in CPA marketing but I have been reading about IM for like 6 months or so. I just find CPA offers easier to promote.

    TBH, it may or may not work. You have to TEST it first.

    Marketing is about testing and failing fast. In this way, you weed out the losers and keep the winners. Once you have your winners - you scale up.

    It seems to me that scaling up is your end goal. But before you get there you basically have to test your a) venue b) offer and c) landing page (not necessarily in that order).

    Right now, you are attempting to test if an offer will do well in the MBP SafeList venue. Now, I don't know everything there is to know about safe lists, but I do know that such a venue is not particularly full of people who are in "buying" mode.

    If you're new to CPA, reach out to your Affiliate Manager and ask him or her what "venue" (ie: PPC, PPV, Email, etc.) the offer you want to promote works well in.

    In CPA there are some offers that are better suited for PPC, while others are best suited for PPV or Banners.

    Knowing this before hand will save you time and money. You won't have to waste time testing venues that are not proven to work... or waste money finding it out.

    Hope this helps.

    Honestly, in this business the only way to know is to try it. Give it a go!

    The best thing to do is get your feet wet and give it a try. If it doesnt work out then you will have learned something for your next promotion.

    Your plan is really good if you know that the forums you are going to promote those offers have the same quality traffic as your website...

    Man, you say that you've been reading a lot about cpa in 6 months but if you really did you would know that cpa offers convert the best when you capture the emails and create an email list where you can promote different offers over the time.

    Is really hard to make money with CPA offers if you don't create your own email list and without it, many times you will only loose money and earn nothing

      That;s bs. I know so much people just promoting cpa offers without collecting any details from the people signing up that do just fine; it's what I do to.

    Actually I said that I have no earlier experience in CPA marketing but I have been reading about IM for like 6 months or so.

    Thanks for the answers. I'll test this soon.

    Do you guys know any similar sites like mpb advertising? If so, which do you prefer?

    Hello!

    Why don't you try your plan? You wouldn't lose anything but precious time, right? Just always be creative and unique in whatever you try and be a success. Be creative and poor in extra time.

    Best of Luck!
