    Hey guys,

    I have some web experience but I am looking to get into the affiliate or cpa field to make some money.

    I have a clickbank account already that I signed up for a few days ago and i have been reading a bit about all of this but I still have some questions:

    - What is the difference between affiliates and CPA?
    - I know I need a website with a landing page with my hoplink in there, but how do I promote it? I have read about writing articles to ezine and submitting them but how and what do I write my articles about and where do I promote the link to my webpage?

    Please help me with some tips or help, I really want to start out in this field.

    Thanks for your help in advanced!

    An affiliate promotes stuff and CPA is cost per action, where you get paid for generating leads.
    There are no magic tips for affiliate marketing just a lot to learn.

    I know I just have to learn. I simply want to know where to begin and how to start!

    How do I go about writing articles, where do I submit them, how do I plug in my site into the article, is all I need for my site a domain and landing page, etc?

    Thanks

    If I may ask, what have you been doing all this time if you don't know these things yet?
    I suggest getting some ebooks.

    I used flip websites and do services for people but none of them had to do with this field of affiliates or CPA.

    Thanks

    I plan to write articles at submit them online.

    Do I direct visitors to my hoplink which then leads to the landing page made by the seller? Or should I direct them to my own site and then to the landing page?

    Thanks

    You sign up for a site like ezinearticles and write articles related to what you are selling. Your link goes into the resource box.

    There is varying opinions as to where it should go to your own site or a landing page. You can experiment and see what works for you

    I do all my promoting from a blog. I write a 'review' or talk something up. I link to the post and, within the post, is the link to what I am selling

    In some other thread you were asking other DP members for a review , why do you SCAM about Efusjon so actively??

    Anyways , The OP needs some ebooks to learn to start generating $$$... There a lot of ebooks on affiliates/CPA to earn from and get a little knowledge.

    LOL ...

    I had the same problem at first ...

    An "Affiliate" is the relationship you have with any product or service for a fee, be it commisison, revenue share or whatever ...

    CPA - Is the type of Compensation Model, meaning "Cost-Per-Action" be it, enter a zip code, registration or the actual purchase of a product or service ...

    This CPA is what the requirements are for you to get paid during your promotion campaign: A Sale or A Lead ...

    I agree, having an ebook explain some of the tricks involved in CPA lead generation and affiliate marketing is key. Check my sig for a link to a "must have" ebook if you're just starting out. You'll be glad you did.

    Good luck!
