Ready to submit my product to CPA networks... but which one to choose?

Howdy everyone,

First off I want to say that WF is an amazing resource for people looking to hone their marketing skills. Not only is the information extremely helpful, but people here are friendly and considerate.

I have written two ebooks previously and both are selling on my own sites and on the Kindle store. I just finished my third ebook, and have applied many of the techniques found here on the new site. It has a killer landing page with excellent copy thanks to a fellow warrior who helped me with the rewrite.

I am trying to ratchet things up and pondering submitting the product to one or more CPA networks. Since I already have all of the components functioning (site, sales processing, order fulfillment) my preference would be a network that will simply send traffic without having to use any of their specialized components (sales transactions, order fulfillment, etc) Hopefully this makes sense... I have something that works, I don't want to break it.

The product is priced at $10 and is a cost cutting guide to help families save money. Essentially, it's all of the things I had to learn through the school of hard knocks to help our family make it when my primary business income (IT consulting) got hammered by the recession. You can check out the offering by clicking on the link in my signature area.

Knowing all of this (sorry for the drawn out explanation) what CPA networks do you think would be a good fit?

Thanks,
Bryan

    I think this could be a good Clickbank product...

      Thanks for the quick response Trevor. Doesn't ClickBank require that sales processing and fulfillment run through their system? In my review of the site, it appeared that they would handle the credit card processing, and deliver the ebook to the customer. Is that not the case?

      I should explain why sales processing and order fulfillment on my site are important. I have a plugin that automatically stamps the PDF with the customer information at the bottom of each page to discourage piracy. Yes, it will still happen, but people will be less likely to circulate material that has their name and email address attached.

    If your product has mass market appeal then you may be ok getting it on one or two CPA networks....but go SLOW.....

    Make sure you know your key metrics down to the letter and you'll need to have all your ducks in a row..including having the necessary deposit(s) available (ranges from $500 up to $10k) depending on the CPA network you're looking to work with.

    Also, it may be best to develope a lead funnel around your product instead of going for a flat out sale.

    In fact if I were you i'd create a lead funnel, test with ppc, optimize my landing pages
    to get my lead & sale conversions as HIGH as possible.

    Then and only then...would I consider approaching the CPA Networks.

    Not knowing what you're doing can cost you TONS of money very fast.

    You can PM me for a few reputable networks you could approach first that have smaller deposit requirements.

    Thanks Chris. I was under the impression that CPA networks were a lot less money so that's great information! Thanks so much for the information!
