How to Make Extra Money Online - Obtaining a CPA Account
Getting accepted into a CPA networks is a little more difficult than signing up to an affiliate network.
Whilst you can market as an individual, the CPA networks appear to like a corporate structure.
If you apply, the network will ask you for the business name.
If you do not already have a business name it is advisable to register a corporation of some kind.
This does at least show the network that you actually mean business.
There will be other information that the network will require, whilst you will make the application online, the network will most certainly call you back.
You need to be truthful with your answers on the application and make sure that you have a copy to refer to as they will quiz you on its content.
Another tip on the call back, even if the phone you have entered on their application is a mobile, change your automatic answering message to say something like, This is 'name' of 'corporate name' etc.
Once again it gives of an air of professionalism.
You will need to decide your payment name and payment method.
The payment name can be an individual or a corporate name, almost certainly when you start you will have to be paid by cheque.
When you build up the business the networks allow for electronic transfers.
When it comes down to experience, you will NOT be accepted as a newbie.
If you do not have 6 months experience, you are wasting you time applying.
In fact I would say that 12 months is a minimum.
Another factor you have to consider is your ad spend and your earnings level.
The CPA networks are looking for a professional outfit you need to be spending around $2500 per month on advertising with earnings of around $5000 per month.
It is very difficult to break into these networks so they are looking for applicants that have a track record of success.
They will want to know what your traffic methods are: - You can put down search engine SEO as this will refer to both AdWords & PPC.
You can also mention that you have an email list.
If they ask for a website, make sure that you do have a good website.
If you do not have one make sure that you build a professional website before you submit your application.
If they ask you what other networks you are dealing with, the more that you can demonstrate that you are dealing with the better your application will be received.
Once you have submitted your application it can be followed up with a call to the network.
The CPA networks like people who are keen.
Make sure that you have a copy of your application as they will ask you much of the same information.
You could be accepted over the phone however it is more likely that you will receive you account detail by Email.
