Bondox's Ramblings

CPA stands for “Cost Per Action”. It means an action must take place before a price or fee is paid. CPA marketing is another lucrative way of making money online. It involves an affiliate to refer an active customer to a merchant. This is another form of affiliate marketing. But here, you are not being paid for any sale referral, you will be paid for referring a customer who either submit just their emails for an offer, fill out a form to subcribe for offers or do any other thing apart from buying.

CPA networks are similar to Affiliate networks, nothing is different. They offer you with CPA offers from merchants and make sure that you are paid your commission. Joining a CPA network is free but can be difficult because they are always very selective about the kind of affiliates they accept. The sign up process is not long but they will manually go through your registration to make sure that you will be productive for their advertisers (merchants).

Some CPA networks allow you to re-apply if your application is rejected. To avoid rejection of your application try to meet their demand. Once your account has been approved, they will assign you an affiliate manager to monitor your progress with their network because your progress is their progress. Most of them will call your specified phone number to communicate with you.

In my own case, I registered with NeverBlueAds and I was assigned my own affiliate manager. My application was declined in the first attempt I made because the mobile number I specified can not be reached each time they tried to call me. So you must give them accurate and up-to-date information about yourself.

Owning a website or blog is not compulsory but it is an added advantage to get your application registered very fast. They will want to know how much traffic you can get to your link, so telling them you have a blog is an advantage.

Examples of CPA Networks
I won’t go with a long list here, I’ll just give a short list of the ones that are good to go with for now and say one or two thing about them.

AzoogleAds
Azoogle is a very large CPA network, they offer a quite large number and variety of CPA offers that range from ringtones to freebies for a form submittal. Their network seems very stable and highly credible as they make sure publishers (affiliates) get paid for their effort.

NeverBlueAds
This I have signed up with and I can say they have excellent customer service. Good news to Nigerians here; their network is open to all nationalities. They are so kind and lenient with affiliates who don’t own a website. Their network has a friendly user-interface which is good for newbies. A highly recommended CPA network is NeverBllueAds.

HydraNetwork
They offer exclusive and unique campaigns that they say will translate to higher conversions for affiliates and advertisers. They claim to have the best payout on any campaign. They also encourage people to be top money-makers.

ClickBooth
This is a CPA network with a multi-tier referral program for affiliates. You get an instant $10 signup bonus for every person you refer to their network. You also get 2% gross credit for life for signup bonus under your affiliate referral id. What this mean is that, they offer you 2% credit and not cash for all signups generated by your down-lines. This credit can be used to fund you own advertising campaign if you wan to. Their minimum payout is $50 and they pay 15 days after the end of the month in which you made money usually called Net15 schedule.

Others on the list are:

Maxbounty
