    CPA stands for cost per action. When you promote a cpa offer you only get paid when your target completes an action.

    An action can be anything from filling in an email address, downloading something, or ordering a trial product, ect.

      Cost per aquisition - so you are paid for each sale. I always like revenue share for 1,000,000 reasons

      Yup, this is pretty much.

      You can join CPA Networks to get access to these offers. CPA Networks work as middle men before the advertiser and their offer, and you.

    Advertiser wants to build leads so that he can promote offers in backend, that's why we as marketers help him build those leads in frontend through the use of a cpa network who act as middlemen. That is what is CPA marketing all about.

      so to make sure I have this correct. I am a vendor that has a video product to sell. So I can go to one of the cpa sites and try to get my product sold through a cpa for a big cut of the profit, or all of the profit.
      Did I get it right?

    Yes, but CPA do not process payments you have to do that.

    Also not many places do it for all of the profit, that wouldn't be too good for you.
