So yesterday I was signing up with a couple of CPA networks to expand my campaigns and I thought I’d write up some of my experiences on how to sign up with CPA networks.

What I’ve found out is that a lot of people are really scared of the dreaded “phone call” from the CPA networks. Moreover, I believe it has to do with our distaste of rejection. But that is a far far topic that should not take up more than these 2 sentences on this blog.

The truth is, if they bothered to call you about your application, you’re probably most likely already accepted, unless of course you go and say something stupid on the phone.

“MaxBounty: How do you plan on driving traffic to our offers?
You: Uhm, I uh… I’m going to pay my friends and family money so that they’ll fill out my offers for me.”

Yep, that’s probably the WORST thing you could say (and do) on the phone to them… lead fraud? … have a nice day sir…
Plus, you’ll never become rich doing it so my advice? Stay away.

Like I said, if they probably aren’t going to accept you anyway, you’ll probably receive an email similar to the one below

“Dear Jing Jun,

I regret to inform you that we have chosen to deny your application to
participate in the CapitAll Network Affiliate program.

We typically deny applications because…”

Don’t bother reading through it either, it’s usually always a standard automated message. Unless you really believe that you should’ve gotten in, I would just move onto the next network.

Don’t worry though, as there are hundreds of other CPA networks out there in the sea… as they say (I think? Or was it fishes?).

-This Part Has Been Edited Out- 1/28/09 Note: I’ve had someone from a CPA network call me, telling me that they’d rather prefer that I don’t say what I’ve said in this part so okay.

“Friendly” CPA Networks

“Friendly” – Beginner Friendly

MaxBounty – Okay, what can I say? I absolutely love them. MaxBounty being my first ever CPA network might have an influence on me but really, it’s a great friendly network.

Phone Call Required? Maybe. I received a call when I knew almost nothing about CPA but my affiliate manager was friendly and accepted me no problem. Others have said to be approved without a phone call, might be luck of the draw or simply qualifications.
Beginner Friendly? Yes, simple interface and friendly affiliate managers.
Payouts? 3.5/5 – Pretty good payouts, not the highest but definitely among the top.
Comments: Beginner friendly, simple interface, friendly AMs and a well known company. I highly suggest MaxBounty to be one of the CPA network that anyone uses.

Okay so I guess part 2 will contain some more of my CPA network reviews and no more of “how to get in”.
