Hi,

A network I have applied for has replied to me with a few questions and im not sure what to say back to them.

They want to know what my previous experience in internet marketing but I have had none. They also want to know how I plan to market the offers and what success I have had in the past.

What should I say?

Thanks

    THE TRUTH!

    Just tell them how you really are gonna do it, how you really are new, and how you really can do everything the right way. If you don't they'll find out by themselves and thats not always too good. If they have a number call them and talk to them there usually really good people and it'll be easy to talk to them. Just what I think

    What should I say for how much I plan to spend on ads per month?

    You tell me that. If its a very small amount just tell them I'm doing all the work in the beginning then scaling it up when you make some money.

    I agree with Mr. Moe

    Dont think of anything bogus to say, just be straight up with them and they will likely appreciate your honesty.

    Mr. Moe has an awesome sig by the way...so true

    Here's the issue with applying to networks. We get like 50+ applications of people trying to fraud our networks. They want to use stolen CC's, stuff leads and use proxies to download toolbars. All crap that makes that advertisers lose money.

    So my AM's jobs are really to be gate keepers and only let legitimate people through. So that the advertisers stay happy and we all get paid. As a lot of people have said here say the TRUTH, I'm new is fine. I've been reading Warrior and learning a lot. I'm excited to get started and I'm thinking about doing blah or blah. How can you help me achieve my goals? Etc etc. Start a conversation and make the affiliate manager your friend. If they're good they're an immense amount of help and will greatly increase you chances of success. Most of the fraud guys are lying and it's easy to see through once you get used to going through the applications so many times a day.

    Honesty always wins.

    Great response smaxor

    People think networks are looking to accept only big fish in the cpa game but the truth is that they want honest fish, big or small. Honesty is the best policy!

    thanks

    When they called me up, I just gave them everything I knew about CPA. Well, this was Azoogle (the nicest affiliate network on the planet) so of course they had to accept me !
