When do I stop apologizing?

I have questions I want help with.

Firstly, what I love about this Forum is that people are actually really helpful. I actually had someone PM on another post to offer his product to me as a solution to the problem I had. I clicked on the wrong link and ended up buying it before I realized if I clicked on the other link he'd given it me for free!

You don't get that very often. Maybe it's through gritted teeth but you guys take the time to answer noobs stupid questions.

Talking of stupid question when do I finally get to stop feeling sorry for the fact that I am about to ask a stupid question? Is when I make $100 a day? Is their a rule to it?

Cause as much as I love the fact I will get my stupid questions answered it will be great to get past this stage and start to answer other peoples stupid questions!

And... here comes my stupid question.

CPA Networks. Is there anything stopping me creating a site that has several CPA products advertised on it. And then becoming an advertiser with either the same or different CPA?

So lets say my site is the ultimate fitness blog. Front page registration process for which I a CPA gets paid for converting into FREE members. Then inside the site is a list of fitness products,reviews for example, and all with links to other CPA products.

Is there a rule against that? If I get my maths correct and do the right testing, then surely I'm paying for a registration at $2 and getting a sale at $14 (for example)

Come on, make me feel stupid! with thanks

    LOL - let me make your day...

    I am NOT a CPA person, so if I tried to answer your question, I would feel sorry because I would know that I was about to give a very stupid answer.

    We are not all-knowing. No one here knows all the answers
    There are no stupid questions other than the ones that go unasked.

    I personally don't see any problem promoting CPA offers like that. I've promoted a lot of CPA offers. Still, I'd check with your affiliate manager to make sure there aren't any specific rules regarding this. Many offers have different rules for promoting them. Better safe than sorry.

    Just so you know, there's a separate forum that discusses promoting CPA offers that could likely answer your question much better than most people here. The main forum is very generic.

    When you've gone to the relevant section of this site regarding the question you have, and done a thorough search in that section by using the - you guessed it, "Search this forum" button, and entered several different combinations of keywords related to your search, then you can not feel dumb. :-)

    Actually, I'm just picking on you. Some people get tired of answering the same questions all the time and others are just jerks. Ignore them.

    Anyhow, if you do find a related thread you can read it and see if anything posted there answers your question. If not, you can post your question there which will bump it up where everyone can see it and you'll avoid having to start a new thread. Simply start off by saying "I searched for a thread regarding this question and I found a thread, but didn't find an answer. Can someone please tell me how to...?"

    Make sense? That shows that you at least did your due diligence before asking a repetitive question.

    Of course, if you can't find a thread about what you're looking for then feel free to start a new one.

    As Sid said, there are no stupid questions except those that go unasked.

    Good luck!

    The only thing that would be stopping you, is you.

    Either way...

    What you are describing there is a simple strategy to monetize a blog...

    Whether it be getting paid for an optin, zip submit, or even sale...

    That's where the 'testing game' comes in to see what does the best for you.
