What to ask your CPA contact - initially

question #1: What kinds of traffic generating techniques should I avoid to help make you respect that I am a valuable publisher to your network?

question #2: My vertical is primarily focused on __________, what offers would you like to see me target?

question #3: Is there any thing I can do that will help you/the network make more money?

question #4: Would it be alright with you if I check in with you once a week just to touch-base and see if anything has changed?

CPA Contact? Not really sure what your asking.. do you mean your cpa network account manager?

Personally speaking as an AM, any publisher who is proactive about communication and comes to the table with a realistic agenda will always get my attention. Of course time is valuable, but there is no room for ego when it comes to a potentially healthy business relationship.

:confused:

Have you been approved by any CPA network yet? If not, you should be concerned about questions they will ask you (or what you need type in the application itself) in order to approve your application.

But if you already got approved, here are some of the many questions you could ask:

• what offer works best for these type of traffic, niche, etc?
• sometimes they don't specify all the traffic they accept...you could ask them that
• if you plan to Iframe you offer, you should consult them first
• etc, etc,,,,

Hope it helps

Just keeping contact with your manager and dropping in to say "hello" is always a nice way to get to know them

Ask your main contact if they have a list of some of the top converting offers, as well as any exclusives they own. Most AM's have ZERO knowledge about whats converting with what traffic method but you can still ask. Good to pick their brain though.

I like the idea of just starting a relationship on the first contact.

Just like normal networking, come out of the gate asking for too much, and you immediately lose their attention.

So literally, even just a "hello, my name is ken and just wanted to reach out to you to introduce myself as I will be working with you. If you need anything or want to let me know about anything, please feel free to reach out. I can't wait to work together"

Then the a little bit later you can start asking for some good inside tips. And of course when they give you any type of tip, follow up with them and let them know how its going.

For example, if they say, give this offer a shot with this traffic source, then maybe a week later you can contact them and say, thanks I've been working on that campaign you suggested, still trying to optimize it but I see potential. Feel free to check out my lander if you wish.

The whole idea is to build a relationship where ultimately they will give you more info, help, flexibility, and you will give them honest campaigns and hard work!
