How To Get Instant Approval in Any CPA Network?
Most newbies face the first problem of getting approval in top CPA networks. So, here is my recommendation for this problem;
If you are a newbie in the CPA network world, don’t apply for the world’s leading CPA networks, such as MaxBounty or Peerfly. After the interview, these networks will approve your account, which they will conduct via mobile call. Besides, these networks require previous experience and have strict and fast rules about offering promotions.
CPA offers promoting strategies:
- Sharing on relevant groups and communities in various social networks like Facebook, Google+, LinkedIn, etc. (I got my first ever CPA lead via sharing a CPA link in Google+, which enhanced my confidence to start a new project on it)
- You can convert videos and get leads via video marketing on various platforms such as YouTube, Dailymotion, Vimeo, etc.
- You can write high-quality content and promote the content via other blogs, Web 2.0 sites, and article directories.
- If you have a blog that matches any CPA network offers, you can use your blog to get conversion/action and make money.
- You can also build an email list to get high-quality leads. In this case, I recommend GetResponse because of its high-quality service and affordability.
- You can create a new site based on any CPA offer and rank it to get unlimited CPA leads. I am doing this for myself.
- You can buy banner ads and spread your CPA offers without having your site.
- Running Facebook ad campaigns and PPC campaigns will also result in significant profits from CPA offers.
Promote CPA offers via Facebook
Facebook is known as the ocean of traffic, with more than 1 billion unique visitors daily. Here are the effective formulas for promoting CPA offers on Facebook.
Remember, in the case of Facebook, you must cover up your CPA offer link in the second method or write a post on your blog.
Firstly, research and select some pages related to your chosen CPA offer. Then, make an honest, trustworthy comment with a strong CTA (Call to Action) so that people will click on your provided link. To leverage the whole process, you can ask your friend to give likes on your comment, making you more authentic.
Watch the below image as an example:
You can get laser-targeted traffic by doing more in-depth work, such as sending private messages. However, remember to be more conscious and strategic in this case.
Visit pages related to your CPA offer, read comments on each post, find someone who has a problem, and ask for help (your CPA offer must be able to solve the problem).
Remember to mention their name and say how you found them while sending a private message. You can also start a conversation with Hi, Hello, What’s up, etc. Then, come to your main point. Finally, ensure you get a replay from the other side, decreasing your chances of being a spammer on Facebook.
Check the image below as an example:
In both cases, you need to be careful and stay safe. Don’t make too many comments quickly; neither send too many private messages. Keep at least 30 minutes between your comments and private messages. It’s better not to do more than five daily comments and private messages.
Twitter CPA Offer Promotion
Twitter is not as difficult to link to as Facebook. So, you can cover/shorten your CPA affiliate link using bit.ly and promote it on Twitter. Surprisingly, according to several research pieces, short links get more clicks on Twitter.
For the best results, start your Twitter marketing with hashtag research. To do that, visit hashtag analyzing tools such as hashtags.org and type any keyword related to your CPA offer.
For example, I typed “Amazon” as several CPA offers are related to Amazon gift cards and deals. After pressing the search button, you will get recent tweets that include #amazon and other related tags. So select some tags and get ready for your main work.
Your job is to make tweets, including hashtags that you have selected.
Here are some tricks to make your tweets more visible and effective:
- Tweet 8-10 times a day
- Use 2-3 hashtags in each tweet.
- Try to use a related picture in the tweet.
Besides tweeting, you can also take a personal approach, just like Facebook. For this, search Twitter by keyword and see if anyone is asking for help that can lead to your CPA offer/product as the solution.
If you think you can provide a solution and make some bucks only, send a direct message to them by describing the solution.
Promote CPA offers on Pinterest
Pinterest marketing is accessible, engaging, and fun. But, most amazingly, researchers found that the average sales from Pinterest traffic are higher than Facebook traffic, which is a clear sign of getting a higher conversion rate from your CPA offers.
In this case, writing a post about your selected CPA offer will be better than driving traffic from Pinterest. You can also use shortened links.
How to promote CPA offers on Pinterest:
- If you are new, visit Pinterest.com and sign up for an account.
- Write a compelling profile name and description.
- Create a board that’s related to your CPA offer. For example, you can name your board “Clash of Clans Guru,” one of several CPA offers on COC mobile games.
- After that, search on Pinterest by your keyword.
- Pin some lovely images on your board and follow other boards of the same niche (Don’t follow more than 100 boards daily.
- This is how you can grow your followers on Pinterest.
- After having some followers, you can start promoting your CPA offers by uploading and pinning images along with your offer link. Make sure your photos are attractive and relevant.
- To add the link to your board’s pin, open the image and click the edit button. Then, put the link below in the box and save it. Remember, you can add a link to the pins that you upload. However, you cannot add a link to any pin you have repined from other boards.
- Add as many images/pins as you can to your board. Look at the number of pins and likes to find the popular pins on other boards.
Youtube CPA Marketing
Some CPA marketers are on fire just because of massive traffic from YouTube. If you are good at video making and editing, forget about all other methods and focus on making high-quality videos.
I know some CPA marketers make $10,000+ every month only via YouTube video marketing.
Don’t worry if you are a newbie and don’t know how to make videos. You can make a slide presentation in MS PowerPoint and record the presentation as a video using any screen recorder like CamStudio, Ice-cream Screen recorder, Camtasia, etc. Don’t make videos for the sake of making videos. Make videos to get action from people.
We wrote a complete guide on promoting CPA offers and affiliate marketing programs using YouTube and videos.
Are you in a rush? Check the short version below.
Tips to rank your YouTube videos for CPA offers:
- Go to keywordtool.io and search for your specific keyword under the YouTube tab. You can also use another keyword research tool we reviewed.
- Select a keyword that best suits your selected CPA offer.
- Try to keep the length of the video for more than 2 minutes.
- Put your keyword in the video file’s name (before uploading it), in the title and description part, and in ags while uploading the YYouTubevideo.
- To accelerate the ranking, share your video on all social media as much as possible
- You can also build backlinks to optimize your video. Click here to see 41 effective link-building methods.
Promote via Reddit
If you are new to Reddit, avoid this section. The good news is that you can get thousands of tons of traffic from Reddit within a couple of hours if your post hits the top position.
The bad news is the Reddit community hates marketers. So, if you are willing to promote your CPA affiliate links or offers on Reddit, you must be very careful and strategic.
Here are some tips to start with Reddit marketing:
- First, get an account on Reddit.com and engage in the subreddits (these are individual groups on any specific topic/niche under Reddit).
- Act like genuine community members and avoid all sorts of promotions, at least for the first month.
- Gather link karma (posting helpful and funny links) and comment karma (making valuable comments in other posts).
- Use Redditlist.com to track the most active and fast-growing subreddits.
- After achieving some karmas, you can publish a helpful post on any topic related to your CPA offer (don’t forget to include the link to the CPA offer or Blogspot post).
- Make your title attractive so that you can get more views and upvotes.
- Upvotes are the game-changers in Reddit, so focus on getting more Upvotes from other community members. You will get upvotes if you provide value via your post or link.
Forum Marketing
Many people misunderstood forum marketing and ended up getting banned. Posting the link in any forum post or reply is not forum marketing. First, you need to know the ultimate aim of forums. Remember that admins create discussion forums to build a community and help each other, not promote products and services. Signature-enabled forums are best to get started.
I will not provide a list of forums because it depends on your CPA offer niche. Instead, find some forums related to your selected CPA offer.
Tips to promote CPA offers on forums:
- Sign up for a signature-enabled forum and complete your profile details.
- Make sure the forum has enough members and visitors. Look at the number of threads and replies.
- Add your blog post’s link to the “Home page” or “Website” section of the profile.
- Write an excellent-looking sentence and include the link in the signature section. Some forums do not allow direct affiliate links. In that case, provide a link to your blog post.
- After setting up your profile and signature, start engaging and helping other forum members.
- Make friends, give replies, ask questions, give thumbs up, and position yourself as a dedicated contributor to the forum.
Here are a real-life example and explanation of forum marketing:
This is a thread in Warriorforum where a member asked a question that attracted many replies. Suppose you notice carefully that the member expressed his expertise in CPA marketing in this thread. Then, right down in the signature, he invited me to check out my CPA marketing-related guidelines. He said this single link only gave him lots of targeted traffic from this forum.
Blog and Article marketing
Article marketing is pretty much the same as blog post promotion. Here, I’m showing you how to create an affiliate marketing blog. Using an affiliate marketing theme optimized for conversions will help.
If you don’t have a blog, you can use free blogging services like Medium.com, WordPress.com, or Blogger.com.
Write articles that are somehow relevant to your chosen CPA offer. For example, you can write an article on the Clash of Clans mobile game and promote CPA offers related to it. Make sure your article title is attractive enough to grab people’s attention. Besides, add a solid call-to-action sentence or button to get the most out of it.
In the above example, you can use “Grab Free COC Gems,” “Participate in COC Gems Giveaway,” etc., as CTAs so that people will take action and you can make a handsome amount of bucks every month.
Tips to promote CPA offers with article marketing:
- Don’t over-promote your CPA offer in the articles.
- Make sure to add value to your content to be approved for publishing.
- Use an attractive title to get maximum attention and conversion.
- Use the CPA affiliate link twice in the article.
- Write articles of 800+ words for better results.
- After publishing, promote your article to get more instant traffic.
Promote CPA offers via native advertising
Native advertising is an online marketing method that uses paid ads that match the website’s look and fit seamlessly into the surrounding content. This method leverages the content and credibility of publishers and increases ad conversions.
Using native advertising networks like AdStyle, MGID, Outbrain, and Taboola, you can place CPA offers on websites like MSN, CNN, and other big publishers.
I’ve written a complete guide on native advertising that explains what native advertising is, the PROs and CONs, and how to leverage and are the best native advertising networks. Also, we show you some best practices you should follow to maximize your ROI.
How To Get Payment From CPA Networks?
Many CPA networks support several payment methods. However, PayPal and Bank transfers are widespread among all the networks I have tried. You can also pay via Skrill, Payoneer, Check, Western Union, etc.
I highly recommend you sign up for a Payoneer account with a virtual back account under Bank of America. You can use this bank account to get all your affiliate money. I prefer Payoneer over Paypal because, with a Payoneer master card, I can get cash from ATMs in any corner of the world.
