I'm sure you have seen Cost Per Action offers in your email box or in popups across the web. These are the little offers that are asking for your email address in exchange for a "Free Ipod". This is how I made my first dollar online and I continue to roll out campaigns using CPA. CPA marketing can be a very lucrative business. Know the right tactics and you are in for some big take home cash. Here's a little guide to get you started in CPA marketing: 1. Understand what is Cost Per Action Before starting with the business at least try to know the basic concepts and ideas. Do some reading or learn from someone who has some experience on CPA marketing. I will be posting answers to questions in this string so fire away. 2. Know the Limits of Your Budget CPA marketing may involve some investment. Consider the benefits if you are risking part of your budget to bring some traffic to your campaign. 3. Monitor Your CPA Offer In reality, not all CPA offers will be a cash cow. There will be CPA campaigns that cannot bring you the profits you expect. What is important is you track the business and learn to adjust. It is also important to know when to let go of an offer. 4. Target Your Market Knowing your market is key to your CPA success. Know which offers are right for a certain group of people. Know which will click and which will not. 5. Join a Reliable Affiliate Network At the end of the day, you want results and you want profits. You do not want to waste your time with a company that cannot pay you after all your efforts to push for their offers. 6. Explore Possibilities Don’t be contented with a number of successful campaigns. The market online never sleeps. Look for other offers which you can play and see the potentials of other products before you. 7. Right Keywords People will end up on your page because of these keywords. Hone your skills to search for the right keywords and know how to use them properly. 8. Keep the Competition on Your Radar Always be on the lookout for things your competition may launch. Competition is very stiff on online marketing and being ahead of the pack is always best to get the biggest of profits. 9. Grab Attention Promote. Promote. Promote. You need to drive traffic to your page so more people will see the offer and do what you expect them to do— grab the offer. 10. Build Your List Expand your lists to the fullest that you can. Having more people in your database provides more opportunities to offer more products to a more diverse crowd. So that's a high level overview of CPA to help you make your first dollar online. My hopes are that some of you will find value in this post. Best, Corey
