Where to start with CPA? Cpa newb needs help!

4 replies
I'm a complete newb to CPA marketing. I've been browsing this section of the Warrior Forum and seen some very good results that people have had, but I still don't really know where to start.
I am signed up at a CPA network (MaxBounty), and I originally signed up to get CPA offers for my Kindle writers' Facebook page, although it ended up that there is nothing Kindle related on their network at all. I don't want to let my membership on the network go to waste, though... especially after hearing all of the success people have had with it.
So... where should I start?
Should I direct link to offers with ads?
Should I direct link to offers with YouTube videos?
Should I make a Facebook page around a specific ad? (still learning FB marketing...)
Should I try a combo of different methods, or stick to one method?
Or is there something else I should try?

Also, what is the best type of offer to promote with this? Email opt-ins or website sign-ups that pay a few dollars per opt-in? Or something else?

I really don't know much about CPA marketing, as I haven't researched it much. I would like to get started learning about it on the side, so here I am.
Thank you for all replies!

    If you budget is over $800 paid, less with free traffic.

    Should I direct link to offers with ads?
    Landing pages and squeeze pages always work best.

    Should I direct link to offers with YouTube videos?
    This is a good method if you don't have enough money to pay for paid traffic. Youtube is great for Free Traffic.

    Should I make a Facebook page around a specific ad? (still learning FB marketing...)
    Yes, your niche is everything. Some niches are not profitable, some every profitable.

    Should I try a combo of different methods, or stick to one method?
    Stick with one, it is one of the most common newbie mistakes. Don't jump around.

    Or is there something else I should try?
    Not that I can think of.

    Also, what is the best type of offer to promote with this? Email opt-ins or website sign-ups that pay a few dollars per opt-in? Or something else?
    Offers between $4-$10, this keeps cost of testing down, and away from scrubbing.

      Thank you for the reply, lots of good info! I still have some questions, though.

      What is one of the best CPA networks? Are most of them all equally good, or are some better than others? I'm on MaxBounty now, are they good as the rest?

      I think I'm going to settle with YouTube videos. I've browsed MaxBounty a bit and these look like they're the best offers for me:

      Lord of the Rings Online MMO Game
      $2 per sign up
      This only pays $2 per sign up, but since it's free and doesn't look scammy I think I can get a lot more sign ups. Is this a good idea? There's also a similar Star Wars game like this that I may try along with this.

      RussianBrides.com- Free Sign Up

      $5 per sign up
      This looks like it will be good, especially because it's a free sign up. But, I don't know barely anything about promoting the dating niche. I may try this with Facebook ads that direct link just to expirement. Is this a good idea?

      And, this one isn't from MaxBounty, but it's a good affiliate program:

      HostGator

      1-5 per month ----- $50 /signup
      6-10 per month ----- $75 /signup
      11-20 per month ----- $100 /signup
      21+ per month ----- $125 /signup

      The profits on here look very high. I'd probably do a YouTube video. Thoughts?

      Or, should I just stop contemplating it all and just go for all of this and stick with YouTube as my traffic source? I will do some research on YouTube as a traffic source first.

      Again, thank you for your post, it's very informative and I hope you reply to this post as well... or anyone else reading this who has experience!

    Start with dating via FB Ads. Always use a landing page. Run top offers on the network by EPC and volume. Profit!

    Sign up for some others and decide for yourself.

    Some of my favorites: MaxBounty, Peerfly, ClickBooth, NeverBlue, Ads4Dough.

    Or, should I just stop contemplating it all and just go for all of this and stick with YouTube as my traffic source? I will do some research on YouTube as a traffic source first.
    The best way and only way to find out what offer is best for you, is to test them.
