CPA Marketing Best Beginners Guide In 2023

Back in 2019, I was struggling financially, so I started looking for ways to make money online. That’s how I was introduced to CPA Marketing, I was too broke the only thing on my mind was to make quick bucks. Guess what it took me 5 months just to make $7 then I give up on CPA Marketing and moved to doing surveys and watching Ads.

Well, I found that I hated doing surveys, spending 30m to 1H only to get a message saying I don’t qualify for the survey. Earning money by watching ads or playing games does not pay that much most pay in fractions of Cryptos [not worth the time]. Fast forward to 2023, I earn a daily passive income of $20 to $50. In this guide, I will teach you the best things to do and avoid to be successful as a beginner in CPA Marketing.

CPA marketing is a type of online business where you can earn money by promoting affiliate offers on social media, your website and through advertising networks practically anywhere on the internet. CPA means Cost Per Acquisition/Action and is an affiliate marketing model where a user is paid for actions taken on an advertiser’s product or service. You get paid a commission every time a user takes the desired action on the advertiser’s website or service e.i Sign up, Give out his/her email, and Download an app/game.

To kick start your journey with CPA Marketing you first need to register and have an account with any affiliate network with has CPA Offers. Affiliate network facilitates communication between affiliates and advertisers, in this guide, we will be using CPAGrip. I will also recommend you just use them if you are a beginner. Alternatively, you can use CPALead or Maxbounty these are some that I have used before and trust.

• Step 1: Sign up for an affiliate network
  • You need to sign up for an affiliate network that connects you with advertisers and offers. Some of the popular networks include MaxBounty, CPALead, and CPAGrip.
  • The signup process can be different from network to network for example it’s hard to signup with MaxBounty. There is also a minimum withdrawal difference ranging from $5, up to $250
  • Features that come with some networks and some don’t have it. In my case, I like to use the content locker from CPAGrip and it’s no longer available on CPALead.
• Step 2: Choose a niche
  • Before you begin promoting offers, you should first choose a niche/industry that you are passionate about or have knowledge in. This will help you target the right customers for specific offers.
  • The most popular are Gaming and Shopping Gift Cards
• Step 3: Find offers
  • Once you have signed up for an affiliate network, you can start browsing and finding offers that are relevant to your niche. You need to choose an offer that has a high payout and is popular among your target audience.
• Step 4: Create a tracking link
  • After you have selected an offer, you need to create a tracking link to promote it. The tracking link is unique to you and allows the advertiser to track the number of conversions you generate.
  • You can also customize the link to something relevant to what you will be posting about e.i https://www.example.com/Get-Free-$500-PayPal-Gift-Card
• Step 5: Promote the offer
  • Once you have your tracking link, you can start promoting the offer on social media, forums, and other advertising networks. You need to use effective promotional strategies to attract the right customers for the offer.
  • I will give you one of the strategies that used to generate +$5 daily when I was starting my journey as a CAP Marketer.

While CPA marketing can be attractive due to its low entry barrier, it requires work, planning, and experience to succeed. Here are some effective strategies I personally used to achieve success in CPA marketing

1. Target the right audience
   • You need to target the right audience for each offer you promote. This means understanding the demographics, interests, and behavior of your target audience and creating content that resonates with them.
   • For example, on the nice of gaming, you need to have a community of gamers whether is a Facebook group, Discord, Quora, or just a community on any social platform.
   • Build trust with people in the community by helping them so it’s good if you have chosen a nice where you have deeper knowledge.
2. Optimize your campaigns
   • Then you can provide them with your link offer, Don’t just copy and paste a blank link. Create a visually appealing image, you can use Canva for that.
   • You need to constantly monitor and optimize your campaigns to ensure that they are converting. This involves testing different ad creatives, landing pages, and targeting options to find what works best.
3. Use different promotional strategies
   • Different offers require different promotional strategies. For example, can use something called a Content Locker, URL/File Locker, Video Locker, And Direct CPA Offers
   • You can use them all at once but in this article, I will talk about URL/File Locker and Direct CPA Offers since they are the ones that I mostly use with my campaigns.
4. Be aware of the cost of traffic
   • There is no such thing as a free lunch in CPA marketing. Traffic will always come at a cost, either in money or time. You need to be aware of the cost of traffic for each offer and ensure that you are making a profit.
   • As a beginner, I will recommend only using your time as a way of building free traffic

Affiliating CPA Offers directly can be a challenge since the people that you promote the offer to need to be on the exact corresponding demographic with the offer, otherwise the offer will just change automatically to something else. You can promote these offers on any social platform but not directly share the link you got from CPAGrip or other affiliate networks.

Here is a step-by-step on how to promote CPA Offers

• Get your Affiliate link offer from your affiliate network
• Create a landing page to put in your offer links. You can use Convertkit
• Once you have your landing page you can share it with the community that is relevant to your nice
• For example, Gift cards. Join How to make money online in [country] Groups on Facebook.
• If you are promoting an offer from the USA on the space of country add USA
• Then go to Canva, create a post image
• Share your Post image on the group with your landing page link

URL/File Locker is one of the best methods that I use with CPA Marketing since it can create a passive income, unlike direct CPA Offers. But to create a passive income with URL/File Locker you need to do some extensive work. Don’t worry I also have a quicker strategy to make quick bucks with URL/File Locker.

Hers is a step-by-step on how to promote URL/File Locker offers

• The simple and quick way is to find something that is hard to get on the internet but at the same time, people really want it.
• Take it, put it in a URL/File Locker then share it with people
• For example, an Auto aiming script for any Battle Royal game

In this case, we won’t be using advanced web design tools like WordPress Instead, we will create a website using Google Sheets. Here is an example of my old Google Sheet Website

I have already made a guide on how to turn Google Sheets into a website. You can just visit the guide and be able to create something similar to mine if not better.

Yes CPA Marketing is still one of the best ways to make money online. I myself still profiting a lot of money just for doing simple stuff that I have already taught you in this article.
