I recently got an eBook that showed how CPA marketing was done. In the eBook, it stated to sign up for a CPA network (obviously) and mentioned many big ones. The problem is I got rejected from every major network I've applied to so far.

In the eBook it said to make tons of coupon/freebie forum accounts and to promote the CPA offers through there and direct traffic to the landing page. It also suggested making flyers and spreading them throughout university/college campuses. (I have many in my area as well as connections to all of them so I thought this was a good idea). This is what I stated in my CPA network applications.

Meanwhile, after looking into CPA more and reading threads on this forum I'm yet to come across someone that promotes like this. So I'm wondering if this would even work or if I should go the seemingly more traditional route of making a website and going from there.

If you suggest making a website, what kind of website should I make? What should be on the website? How would I promote the CPA offers through the website? (I'm not picky about the offer as long as it's good).

Any guidance is much appreciated.

Thanks

    And where are you located?

        Do you know why you were rejected from MaxBounty? From your initial post you seem to have a good grasp on the fundamentals of affiliate marketing.

        I would suggest just picking a traffic source and running with it. Perhaps making a WordPress blog for the website idea you mentioned earlier.

        As long as you have a good understanding of affiliate marketing/CPA and can communicate how you plan to promote offers, you will get approved at MaxBounty.

          They stated not enough information but I wasn't sure what more I could add. I've been researching a bit and have sent in a very detailed appeal, currently waiting on a reply

    Don't get hung up on having to sign with a CPA network - it is just one of different ways to get what you really need as an affiliate - merchant offers that convert well and pay well.

    You can try Offer Vault who have many different programs listed, or search Google for CPA offers.There are plenty of good merchants who run their own affiliate programs. Check out the program in my signature for example! :-)

      It's best to get a website when applying for CPA networks, if you have a decent site up you'll get approved much easier. After that you can still promote the way you want
