Hey Guys, I'm sure this has been written before but I feel like re-writing it anyways as people are (understandably) getting rejected from CPA networks. It's like anything, If you know how to do it, it's easy. I have gotten into 52 networks and have been rejected from 6 - but that's only because I didn't need to follow them up. Sure fire ways of getting in: 1) CCreate your own internet marketing site. Just choose a name and stick 'Marketing' 'Advertising' Or 'Media' on the end of it. I used Mickey Marketing. Take a look. I even left who is guard on showing my old stupid email address from when I was like 12 lol, and still got in! Oh... and set up an email account too. Just for the record, I wouldn't say you need a site, it just makes it a whole lot easier, a few of my networks are even using simple gmail/hotmail accounts. But my advice would be to look as professional as you can. E.G. Get a phone line like Skype or something, and most companies use AIM so get this in your company name too. 2) Shortly after applying for the networks (approx 30mins) call them. Most IMPORTANTLY work on your time frame. Leave a message. Just do it and don't put it off. They're nice people who want to make you money, you can understand any suspisions because they have thousands of fraudulent accounts apply everyday. But, they're very nice people. They will ask 2 main questions. 1. How do you promote offers? and 2. What type of offers are you interested in? The answers are 1. I buy traffic and banner space 2. I run all types of offers if they are converting well, I have access to a lot of traffic sources... SIMPLE! They will ask other questions, but these are the 2 that matter. A little hint if they ask for examples, then simply state that you cannot share this info because you have actually had affiliate managers clone and copy campaigns in the past... BUT be polite! This can and does happen, just comfort them and say 'I know you won't but I can't take that risk again, I hope you understand'. Then, you should be accepted. Make sure you speak to your affiliate manager regularly as this will stop you getting kicked out if you are doing dodgey stuff. Don't be afraid to confront them about anything, this is your money remember! The one's who shy away are ones who look suspiscious. Before I forget, it might be an idea to register your website as a company. It will cost about $30 in the US and about £30 in UK i think??? This is not for tax. But it does make your company look extremely professional and if you think about what you are going to earn then it's definately worth spending the money! One last thing, if that fails, then reply to my post and i'll get back to you. Good Luck
Thank you for sharing the information. That really helps anyone who is experiencing difficulty in geting approved by affiliate networks.
That point on number 2 is essential. I think the only time I was turned down was because my cell was dead when they called. No message, just an e-mail stating that I was denied because they couldn't reach me. Picky
Fantastic post! You got one virtual medal for this It is still funny how insane details some people provide when signing up to networks.
