Hello everyone,

First of all I'm pretty much new to this scene, let me write you a small story about my fail first.

When I first heard about CPA offers I was really excited. And hoped to earn around $10 a day (enough for a student )


So I registered to a CPA network, and then to AdMob. Added $50 of funds and created my very first ad (trough mobile phones). The Ad I promoted was a simple ZIP submit iPhone offer.. should work right?

When I logged on the next say, I only had a income of $5.20 and all my AdMob funds were gone. Now, of course I was frustrated.. so I went looking for an explenation.

After a while I figured out that I made a huge mistake, the offer was only converted after the 2nd page submit!

Now that you know this little backstory, I come to my actualy question.

As I've lost $45, I want to make this money back (with another offer) without investing again. The only thing I need is around 35 submits.

Now I was wondering, how could I ever get 35 clicks without investing more money? (and don't spend hours on FB)

Thank you by forward!
Jesterhead

PS: Finally registered! Have been lurking for a while
PPS: What did I learn today, never rush things again!

      Wait what? I'm a 19y old student, I simply want to retrieve my money before trying again.. I have no income.

      And you're probably right, it's kinda fraud.. anyways do you guys have other suggestions to get around 35 clicks without investing (or spending hours on FB)?

      I also edited my main post.

        find a decent offer
        post in your profile and send out to friends list as a reccommendation
        dont ask them to click or complete the offer - fraudulant leads get you banned

        but if some of your 'friends are intereested they may complete som efree offer zips

    Thank you, the only problem is that all the offers on my CPA network are US only... and as I live in Belgium, I have no friends in the US.

    Are there any networks out there that have loads of worldwide offers?

    You can try Zanox, as I mentioned in the PM.
    Why don't you try out offervault......it has a huge database of offers, sift through them, find out which netwok has the offer you like and then try and join them......I say try because some reject applications.

      I was just about to thank you, but I can't send any PM's yet..
      The only question I always have is.. are these websites really going to pay me? I'm sure that my current one does, yet they only have around 500 offers.

      I will certainly check them out!

    Offervault is a CPA offer database.
    And yes the ones I mentioned WILL pay. They're reputed.
    BTW which one are you with?

      I'm currently working with PeerFly, great support, good rates, only around 500 offers.

      So you mean on offervault I can browse offers from diffrent CPA networks? Very helpful, i hate signing up to a network before I can see their offers.. I'll check it out.

    I think that video marketing can be a good alternative.

    Upload videos on YouTube targeting other videos with many views. Then, add a watermark on the videos with your site and also add a link in the description box. Use multiple account in the case one of them gets banned.

    Article marketing and SEO are also good, but they take more time to produce results.

    Also, if you decide to keep with mobile marketing I recommend you to join OfferMobi or another similar network and promote mobile optimized offers.

      I'll try it out, I assume this works the best with "free trial" offers?

      The problem is that most networks like SponsorMob ask VAT numbers, and I never get accepted without one. (In Belgium you only get a VAT number when you have a business). PeerFly didn't require that, that's also a reason why I signed up with them first.

      I'm going to test several methods and pick what works the best for me, but I think mobile is going to be huge. Ads cost is only $0.01 per click.

      PS: I'm very happy with the feedback, this looks like a awesome community!

        I think that offers that don't require a CC# would be better, like short-form submits, email submits, etc.

        I'm from Brazil and don't have a VAT number it didn't stop me from getting accepted by many networks, including OfferMobi. Just supply any number during the application and then call them and explain that you don't have a VAT number. It won't be a problem.
