Learn how to earn money from Cost Per Action sites (CPA)

Cost per Action(CPA) is the way in which a seller gets a qualified prospect. Then the seller can focus on the right way to market to him. If a new person wants to start earning online frequently he is lost due to not making enough sales.

In a way he gets trained in getting qualified prospects by getting leads for a CPA site. Once, you get the knack of getting a regular stream of qualified prospects, you can move on to making direct sales, affiliate sales.

There are many sites which acquire CPA leads in many ways. Some acquire just location leads which is very cheap. Other get qualified leads which is more costlier. Some require a simple sign up or some require some minimum performance standards like performing a certain level of usage.

So the acquirer may give some performance standard to be matched to get paid. Once you get the knack of sending regular lead and they are good enough the acquirer may even offer you better rate once he knows you send good quality leads.

Now what are the methods of getting leads.

Step 1: Create a web page on that niche, explaining the benefits of joining, including the right links and banners. You prepare the prospect by pre-selling. This will mean the prospect will know what to expect in the website and what he may not get. What this means is the prospect is more likely to react the way the acquirer expects him to do. You may or may not add ad sense to it. While ad sense means additional income stream, if it reduces conversion for the CPA program, then it may make sense to drop ad sense and focus on CPA ad only. You need to test, track and verify to see what works for your niche. In some niches, the conversion can drop as much as 50%. For a single page, a free blogger page like this may be enough.

Step 2: While one single page may be enough to start with, if it is a big enough niche, with multiple CPA programs, it pays to have multiple pages targeting the nearby keywords so that you cover a group of inter related keywords. This will mean increased conversion rate across all the CPA programs increasing your income.
