What Is CPA Marketing?

This post has been read 1195 times.

CPA marketing isn’t marketing done by a licensed CPA or anything like that. CPA refers to “cost per action.” So when you see CPA marketing, it is referring to making money online by invoking some sort of action out of your online audience.

An example might be someone clicking on your advertisement for a free product and then filling out a form to receive this free product. In other words, CPA marketing is what the big time media outlets have been using as old-fashioned marketing for years.

The difference is that the Internet has through several companies made cost per action advertising revenue available to everyone with an audience of any size.

It is a lot less difficult to “sell” free things to people than it is to convince people to buy something. This is particularly true when you have not established a strong, time-tested trust relationship with your site audience.

Fortunately, many CPA marketers are willing to pay you $1 to get someone to fill up a form, rather than spending a dollar or more for every person that actually pays attention to a television advertisement they’re running.

This allows the company paying you to get a direct response for the money it spends from its target market. It also helps them gather details for future contacts with sales prospects.

The $1 was average. There are some marketers who find each response is only worth 5 cents, and others who will pay as much as $50 for a simple inquiry. The difference is typically in the value of the products they sell and the percentage of respondents likely to become customers.

You don’t have to understand this yourself as a CPA marketing affiliate. You only need to understand that this valuable and legitimate revenue stream is available to anyone with a website and an audience.

If you caught the part about the “audience”, you will understand that this is no easy money scheme. Successful CPA marketing requires you to have a website with enough draw to it to bring in a lot of people. It is in a sense a numbers game.

It starts with you competing for the attention of people. It starts with building a great website, not with building great advertising slogans. When you have a site people love and visit regularly, you are ready to make money via CPA marketing.

In fact, if you have a great website you can do your own advertising to bring people in and use the website to hold them. The more often they come back and partake of free offers, the more money you make.

The amount of money is limited only to the amount of traffic you bring to your site. You may want to take some time to study marketing techniques to drive your traffic numbers up so you can make as much money as possible.
