    Hello tenemail. I personally call many people that sign up to my network. I understand your concern about not being able to speak English well. However, as long as the potential affiliate and I are able to understand each other, a phone interview can still go over pretty well. Just because you do not live in America, and are unable to speak English well, does not mean you are unable to make money through affiliate marketing well!

    If I have lots of difficulty speaking to a potential affiliate that I believe is very qualified, I set up an interview via instant messenger. However, I ask much more questions when speaking via instant messenger.

    Anyway, if you can speak English as well as you did in this post, you should be fine!

    Like Phillychzsteak said, your english seems good enough. Basically CPA networks just want tomake sure that you have an idea of what you're doing with affiliate marketing and that you will promote their products. There have been many international scammers that have taken advantage of CPA networks which is why they are cautious. I would recommend getting a voip number and call them and show them that you want to promote their offers in accordance to their rules. As long as you can show them that you are there to make them money without cheating them, they should be willing to accept you. Best of luck! :)

    As long as you have nothing to hide, you really don't have to worry about the questions. Just give honest answers and if you're a quality affiliate, most networks will accept you.

    It doesnt do any harm to have a rough idea of the sort of questions that usually get asked....

    My most frequently asked questions are:

    * What is your background (Eg "I am a web designer")
    * How long have you been doing this? (Eg web design / affiliate stuff)
    * What sort of offers are you going to promote? (Eg dating niche)
    * How will you drive traffic to your site / promote the offers? (Eg search engine, PPC)
    * Will you marry me? (Ok I made that one up :p )

    It never does any harm to prepare some notes for any kind of interview. When I have job interviews that I am nervous about I make notes, write down questions/answers/contact details etc - so I can give answers to all different questions quickly and efficiently.

    Hope this helps :)

    Philly and Doitup are right...the reason why networks screen is to curb off fraudulent accounts. If you are planning to run legitimate campaigns, you should have nothing to worry about. If an applicant does not speak any english, or is applying in non-latin characters...well communication is obviously going to be an issue and a functional business relationship cannot exist. However you seem to write/read English just fine. As Philly said, many networks will do interviews via AIM/ICQ/Skype.

    I represent a CPA network, and I will say I never ask questions like what is the closest cross street, and I will never deny someone just because of their geo location or name or language (can't say the same for other networks, or even for other AMs within my same network). However, I will also say at the first sign of fraudulent activity, yo ass is shut down ;)

    So bottom line, as long as your not trying to scam you should be fine, as you seem to write and read english very well. If you're still having a problem getting approved because of the language concern, feel free to PM me or hit me up on ICQ.

    Good luck

    You have to remember that writing English and speaking it are two completely different matters, especially if their native language is pronounced significantly different. That phone interview is completely useless if you just have to think about how to pronounce words or have to correct everything all the time when the interviewer asks to repeat what you said (and this is a business with a lot of vague terms and acronyms).

    Personally I try to note this when signing up, but some networks have insisted conducting the interview over phone (notably COPEAC). In that case I usually just forget about it and go use someone else as I know I can't explain things as well as I want to over phone. Phone verification is all fine and all, I have to do it with servers sometimes too. It's short and easy, but then it's better to continue over IM or email where you can actually explain things.

    Honestly, just have a friend call you and practice what your going to say, this will make you more comfortable. If you are doing whitehat stuff which you should be anyway's then you will be fine. They will ask about your traffic, if you have an email opt in, ppc, things that pertain to your website. If you dont have a website that is fine also, tell them you have a opt in email list that follows the can spam act and you are going to follow the rules. You may ask why not show your website, sometimes some networks, not a lot and not the good ones but some, will take your landing page and steal your ideas. Now, this is very rare but it does happen. Hope some of this makes sense and good luck.

    i completely disagree
    you just become a chinese for 7 days, you will know how difficult it is for chinese people to get into cpa networks
    reason- chinese people try there as* out but never get cpa approval due to bad english.

    SOrting out the possible questions they might ask you would be a great idea, English language is the common universal language that's why it is quite important to be a little bit fluent with it

    Phone interview is essential but, it is not impossible to convince them with email or a chat with them on AIM messenger
    I have got many approvals from chat only.
