CPA Marketing
I won’t assume that everyone who reads this post knows exactly what CPA is all about and so I will start with a quick overview that highlights exactly what CPA marketing is, and how it can make you money.
CPA (cost per action) is also known as PPA (pay per action) and is an online marketing opportunity that pays you based on a specific structure or model. For example, if you participated in CPA offers, you would be paid each time a prospect completed a specific action, such as registering on a website, filling out a form, signing up for an offer, or perhaps just visiting a particular website.
The requirements often range from a single email opt-in to lengthier form processing including three, four page surveys, application forms as well as downloading software, scripts, demos and screen savers.
While CPA offers vary and the requirements associated with being credited for an ‘action’, there are an abundance of high paying CPA offers and programs that you can get involved in.
It is, in fact, one of the easiest ways to make money online with very little effort in comparison with many of the traditional marketing campaigns and opportunities.
Most CPA Companies pay out anywhere from $.25 right up to $4.00 for a single email capture (visitor enters in their email for information), with other CPA opportunities paying out as much as $150.00 for a multi-part process or a more in depth requirement where your prospect may need to verify their address, accept a free trial offer and at times, your payment will only be credited weeks later once your prospect has completed the process.
As an example, an advertising company pay the CPA network that you are a part of $10.00 for every lead generated as a result of their members actions. In turn, the CPA company pays you 70% of that, earning $3.00 for connecting you with the advertisers.
In order to begin earning money with CPA offers, you will need to enroll into a handful of CPA based programs. There are networks available online that house a large variety of CPA offers, enabling you to join one website and being given the opportunity to participate in multiple programs from many different companies.
CPA networks serve as the middleman, connecting publishers and advertisers together, and typically coordinates the placement of offers from participating publishers and companies with affiliate marketers, in return for a small fee or percentage of the overall offer itself.
Once you have been accepted into a CPA program, you will be given a unique affiliate link, just as you would if you joined a traditional affiliate program.
This link identifies you as an affiliate and tracks all of your activity, primarily your sales and in turn, provides you with conversion rates and other information that can help you determine how well your promotional campaigns are doing.
All of this tracking is done by the CPA network itself, where your account information is stored. One of the best things about working with a CPA network is that you can promote multiple CPA offers, covering a wide variety of niche markets and receive one paycheck for your total earnings combined.
Furthermore, most CPA networks will assign an agent to assist you in getting started as well as address any concerns you may have during your initial training process.
Every CPA network offers different opportunities, with the more popular networks offering as many as 1,500 different offers in their database at any given time.
Furthermore, most CPA networks provide you with all of the promotional media that you need, including email campaign ad copy, banner and graphic advertisements, and text ads.
There are great training courses out there who are showing you how to start making money with CPA Marketing as well as showing you some more advanced techniques. Below you can find links to products I own my self and have written an honest review:

Surely this isnt as easy as PPC but I bet the pay is way bigger. Are there any tried and tested strategies in CPA?
CPA is an interesting topic to generate income and it seems that everyone is into it.
Yes CPA is really an interesting topic. And right with the bad economy it’s a great way to make money with because you don’t need to generate a sale to get paid a commission. It’s like Paul said generating leads is far easier than generating sales.
@Paul, thanks for recommending my CPA Arbitrage Review.
“Cost Per Action” or CPA marketing is one of the simplest methods for beginner Internet marketers to begin making money online and get paid for the “actions” taken by the traffic you steer to advertisers
I started on Pay Per Action and earning a few bucks for simple tasks is indeed a great start for my passive income then.

You are correct the CPA is most popular online marketing methods but is extremely difficult for the beginners I recommend to read some Free eBook about it, or to ask someone that have Success in hes CPA campaigns, the last alternative is becoming member \’CPA Success\’ like my self but the cost is big $77 I recommend it, only if you are looking for fast money making system and can spend $77

CPA marketing is popular than other make money online. I would choose CPA marketing for the most make money online.
Promoting and driving traffic to CPA offers can be done in numerous ways such as PPC (pay per click), SEO (search engine optimization), Web 2.0 (social media sites), PPV/CPV (pay per view, click per view), and several other methods. CPA marketing has become so popular, but for a good reason. With many CPA offers, you don’t even have to make a sale to earn a commission unlike with affiliate marketing. As long as you provide a good quality lead, you get paid.
