OBJECTIVE
Here you’ll learn how to find a good CPA offer for you to promote with an angle-oriented campaign on Facebook.
TRAINING
Before you can find an offer, you need to have joined a CPA network. If you haven’t done so yet, make sure to return to the basic training module and follow the steps there.
If you already have an account with at least one CPA network, here’s how to choose an offer to promote:
Common Questions & Answers
1 – What if the offer requires approval? Can I still promote it? How should I apply to run the offer?
First of all, prioritize public offers that you can promote without the advertiser’s approval.
In case you decide to go with one that requires approval, submit the request and explain that you’ll be promoting the offer with social PPC (or Facebook ads). You can also mention that you’ll start with low volume and will scale after the advertiser assesses the quality of the leads.
2 – Is it ok to promote DOI (Double-Opt-In, requires email confirmation) offers?
Yes, it’s fine to promote DOI offers.
3 – What are the best niches or verticals for this method?
Surveys, freebies, email submits in general and most offers that convert upon a simple action (short form submit, free registration).
4 – Is it ok to promote desktop-only offers?
You can promote those offers. However, since they don’t allow traffic from mobile devices, they can be more expensive to promote. So, if possible, start with mobile friendly offers.
5 – Is it ok to promote offers that require a download to convert?
Those offers are not ideal. Most offers that require a download are for online games. Those downloads are usually for desktop users only and files are large. Initially, avoid those offers.
6 – Is it ok to promote offers that require users to accomplish something (e.g. play a game to certain level, take a certain number of surveys, etc)?
Those offers are not ideal for this method as conversions tend to be delayed. Instead, focus on offers that require registration only.
7 – When I try to access my offer, it redirects me to something else or I see an antivirus warning. Why does it happen?
CPA networks have something called “geo-redirection”. It’s a feature that protects their merchants.
Basically, the merchant will inform which countries they want traffic from and visitors from other locations will not be sent to the offer.
Therefore, if an offer allows US traffic only, anyone trying to access it from a different country will be redirected to another offer. If another offer isn’t available for that visitor, they’ll see an error message or will go to any general website (e.g. google.com).
This ensures that the merchant receives only traffic from the locations they’re interested in.
Many affiliates promote offers with SEO and other methods that can’t really ensure that only traffic from the correct locations will be sent to the offers. For this reason, the geo-redirection feature is important.
For you to view offers that are not available for your country, you can use a free online proxy that’s located in one of the allowed countries or use a VPN (I use and recommend StrongVPN).
COMPLEMENT
No complementary training is necessary for this task.
WHAT’S NEXT?
Choose one CPA offer to promote. Initially, don’t start with multiple offers, go with one offer only. After you set up a full campaign and get familiar with the process you can start running more campaigns simultaneously..
