With CPA networks borderline fraud with forced continuity and scams I would stay as far as possible away from that venue and look at a more solid opportunity.

Hello!

A CPA network is not the best idea. There's a lot of networks that gets bankrupt like this. You should at least try looking for good opportunities on the business. Always work hard and be very careful on deals. Be friendly with your clients.

Best of Luck!

Thanks

Its like a casino, so better to be on safer side. I would like to suggest to invest a little amount in CPA and then increase your budget day by day, after you start earning $$$.

It's not all about money to be successful on this business.

You have to be creative, supportive, smart, patient and a very hard worker.

Creative: To attract affiliate;
Supportive: Support affiliates with their needs, helping them.
Smart: LOTS of scammer will try to join. You have to be smart to get rid of them.
Patient: You will get big headaches some times by getting complains, getting lots of questions, getting rid of scammers, etc. But, you have to be patient.
Hard worker: All the above points and maybe more.

Good luck!

Thanks

Neverblue, Maxbounty and others dominate the market when it comes to CPA. It would be hard to compete with these powerful well established companies.

Your better off investing in areas your good at. How about investing in php video script websites with me? Lol

Best to seek advice from owners of networks that are here on this forum or that you are a member of already.

Yes good money can be made from owning a network but as recent history has shown with networks going out, it is not a sure fire to success (then again nothing is)

If you are seriously considering this then

a) here is not the best place to ask

b) what can your netwok do or bring to the table that isn being offered yet?

The network space is massively cometetive and you need to have an edge, some sort of stand out feature that will make users sit up and take notice and want to run with you.

1. If you have to ask people you dont know on a forum... Then that money is likely safer in the bank

2. 150k is nowhere near enough cash. You need $$$ to front affiliates, pay staff, and advertise. Most businesses take a loss the first year and IM is no exception to that rule. How long will the 150k last? Not long if your affiliates push any volume & staff command decent money

3. With so many major networks dying out, what are you going to do to avoid the same fate?

Thanks

Copeac and Azoogle also dominated years ago - Copeac is finished and heard Azoogle may be going away too.. Azoogle is finished weather they are in biz or not they dont pay affiliates.

NeverBlue parent company filed for bankruptcy. Maybe there will be no issues with NeverBlue, but doesnt make me feel safe having my money in there.
Known reputable networks have vanished in a weekend leaving people without pay (5-6 figures).

Still room for more affiliate networks, but maybe the OP can find a better/safer way to spend his money- CPA Network is risky, but the risks can be managed.

By the looks of it, there are more cons than pros in starting a network. I may have to pass, unless the "right partner" appears. Until then, I will continue developing new apps, and work on other ventures. Thanks for your help guys!

Well there are better ways of making money online nowadays, you definately have to be creative, but its usually the people who have the balls to do so that make it big. 150k is way more than you need in my opinion. Im working on an online venture that only requires 20k to take off. Im looking for a single investor. If anyone is interested, or knows somebody who is I can be reached at otakuoverlordAThotmailDOTcom The business is alot to do with entertainment and advertising. I currently live in the number one region of the U.S.A with the most economical growth and wanna take advantage of that. Mcallen, Tx if anyone is interested. I dont want to give away too much right now. Investor would own 30% of company and would be allowed input on shows already written and participation in the shows. Only serious inquiries please.

Thanks

If you know how to buy traffic, 150k is more than enough to build a nice info product business and recruit affiliates. It's almost the same except you'd own all your offers, and wouldn't have to staff any affiliate management or accounting thanks to solutions like Clickbank

Have you thought about becoming a venture capitalist?

There's plenty of bright, enthusiastic marketers with a great idea who could use financing in the 5K - 15K range. If you chose wisely, one of them is bound to make you millions, don't you think?

That's true, but most marketers blow smoke. It's hard to find the good ones, but I'm sure there are some good startups on angel.co I can find to invest in.

I don't think this is a bad idea at all. With HasOffers the barriers to entry to starting your own network are practically non existent if you have CPA know-how, experience and expertise.

It depends on what your strategy will be of course. If you'll just be rebrokering existing offers that every other network has, you may want to think twice.

If you'll be rebrokering offers, running them internally (to avoid paying the 10-30% commissions to another network) & passing on your knowledge to your own affiliates - this is something that could work.

I plan on launching my own network but mainly to run offers internally as I'm spending well over 6 figures a month on traffic and making slimmer margins than some of the affiliate networks I work with. I know that with HasOffers the Advertisers will happily pop their offers onto my platform.

Secondly once that settles down I will focus on building an affiliate base and sharing my expertise - something many existing networks simply don't do and/or lack.

Thanks

There's so much fraud now in the CPA space I'd stay well away from putting large amounts of money in he pockets of networks, build your own business. These networks rely on idiots to spend their own money building someone else business.

CPA network is not the best of idea, I understand you've an inclination since you've been a successful affiliate and merchant yourself.. and launching a CPA network is a natural progression.

I would much rather invest the money in acquiring a promising business in a trending niche crowded by big corporations.. and find unique ways of capturing a critical portion of the marketshare and have two-three big corporations fight over buying me out.

Such a feeding frenzy will be a thing of beauty - and who get's paid the most - You.

Consider exploring all the cloud based startups that were recently heavily..
