Business Building CPA Offers that actually help the customer

Hello,

I am kind of new to CPA offers. Well actually I did some years ago but I am just getting back into it. I have been looking through the CPA networks that I am part of and looking for something to push for simple submits (zip, email etc) that I feel good about and most of what I have seen I wouldn't really recommend for people to sign up.

Just for kicks I decided to go through the process of the free ipad deals and I started getting text messages and emails like crazy and I didn't even finish going through it. I ended up canceling and unsubscribing from everything. I know they have to do a lot of things to justify a $500 item and you don't get anything for free in the world.

All that to say are there simple submits that you can feel good about sending people to in the business building field. I'll keep looking but if anyone has any thoughts please let me know.

Thanks,

Buddy

    Thanks for taking the time to reply. Can you legally pass the email address from an optin to the next screen or do they have to type it in again?

    Hi Buddy,

    Yeah thats how a lot of the simple submits are. You need to think about it from the merchants point of view. They are only going to give out a an ipad if they can monetize the leads on the backend and make a profit. So they need to upsell the crap out of the leads they are paying for..hence the emails, text messages, etc.

    If they get 1 out of 1000 people to actually go through the whole process, then they better be making at least $2,000 in upselling to cover the $1000 for the leads (at $1 per lead to us publishers) and $1,000 for the ipad and shipping etc.

    So, most simple submits are a royal pain the butt for teh consumer...which would be expected. Nobody is going to just give you an ipad without anything from you!

    This is the way email/zip submits work. Companies are not offering gifts like iPads and iPhones because they are kind, they are doing that to make money.

    However, if you don't feel comfortable working with that type of offer you still can work with other lead gen offers such as dating sites. Most dating sites will pay you something between $2 to $7 for a simple profile creation. There are some good possibilities related to e-commerce as well (e.g. Bidz).

      Right. I totally understand that. I just want to work with CPA offers that I can feel good about for the people I am advertising to. I know that they have to make their money someway. It's actually better than I thought because at first I thought it was just a total scam and they would never get whatever the carrot was. :-)

      For simple email submits do the companies permit you to pass it and automatically fill in the email address of a CPA offer after collecting it for a mailing list?

      Thanks.

        If you are not comfortable with a offer then don't promote it. You have to make that choice for yourself.

        Thanks.

        The short answer is no, for several reasons, First off is the privacy of your list, if you collect emails for your personal list or marketing campaigns you should not take that data and simply fill out a offer to collect a quick buck.
        If your offer accepts I frames then you could do what you are asking ,but you are decieving the user in a way.

        You seem to want it both ways, you say you aren't really comfortable promoting some CPA email programs but want to be able to make more money off a list you generated to fill in offers for your own benefit ,without the consent of the list this is a bad practice.

        I could have mis understood your post if I did my bad.

          I think he is asking if he can pre-populate the email submit by passing that info to the cpa offer page, instead of having the visitor re-enter their email.

          I don't think OP is trying to fill out and actually submit the offers on other's behalf, just populate the field(s) so it's one less step toward conversion.

            I can't speak for the OP but he never mentions anything about Pre populating the offer, this is his question

            "For simple email submits do the companies permit you to pass it and automatically fill in the email address of a CPA offer after collecting it for a mailing list?"

            Note the word "after"

            Unless you have the consent of the user emails you capture this is a not a good idea.

              My bad. I don't understand the lingo yet. David understood what I was asking even though I worded it poorly. What I meant was can I pre-populate the email address and then the user would still have to hit submit on the page of the offer if they were interested.

              Is this legit in the eyes of the CPA's?

    That should be fine if the offer allows I framing.
