offers. This is to prevent any fraud or any illegitimate activity.
Following are few tips which will help you to get in:
Be
honest - CPA networks filter out scammers and not the legitimate
people. So make sure the information you provide is real and isn’t
shady. Don’t try to trick them.
Know
you offer - If you already know what offer you want to promote then
it’s a great plus point. You’ll be asked about it when you’ll
fill the application. This shows that you are one with a plan.
Know
your traffic sources - While filling your application you’ll be
asked about your traffic sources. So you must know how people are
going to reach your offer. Are you going to promote it through email
marketing, mobile ads, writing an article on a blog or anything else,
you must clearly mention it.

CPA offer, it’s the time to promote it on your blog. The best way
to do this to integrate your affiliate links in the blog’s content.
This
is so far the best way to get higher click-thru rates. Another way is

do some experiments and try to optimize your link placement to
maximize your click-thru rates, but while doing so ensure that you
are damaging your blog’s user experience.

for CPA offers usually range from $0.10 to $10 per action. In some
niches such as Insurance, Attorney, Antivirus Software it can go up
to $50 per action.

antivirus software which pays you $50 per install, you’ll earn $500
without even selling anything.
Commissions
offered are decided based on the factors such as niche, back-end
product cost, product demand and supply, targeted country and so on.
In
order to earn maximum commissions, it is best that you choose offers
which are relevant to your audience and pay higher commissions.
