Hi Markus,
I believe something on your side may be blocking your access to the offer (e.g. malware, antivirus, javascript blocker, ad blocker).
I just clicked your affiliate link and here’s what I see:

I used StrongVPN with their Las Vegas server.
It’s also important to notice that some of the offers you reported having issues to access in our private communication were for Germany, so you being in the US was probably the reason why those offers wouldn’t load for you without the help of a proxy or VPN.
WilliamHi Scott,
I’m sorry to hear about the struggles you’ve been going through.
Many people have started their CPA businesses in similar sitautions and have managed to achieve great results.
I believe that anything is possible with focus and dedication.
And, of course, I’ll be happy to assist you in your CPA journey.
Keep me posted when you start working on your campaigns and I’ll help you make the most of the program.
WilliamHi Susan,
It’s not gone, but it’s been aquired by Basis.
If you would like to start running ads on their platform, you need to register via https://basis.net/.
In case you already had an account, you can still access it here: https://rtb.sitescout.com/.
WilliamYes! You can still run campaigns normally.
It’s possible to run seasonal campaigns, but I suggest that you focus on evergreen campaigns when getting started. This way, you can keep the campaigns going and even scale them after the holidays.
WilliamWelcome to the team, Scott!
The best way to get started is by following the instructions on your dashboard. Go through the basic training, choose between free or paid and then get started with the first method.
It’s also important that you keep me posted on your progress (using the Support section) and I’ll assist you with your first campaigns!

Hi Jonny,
It’s great that you’re taking action!
However, the best way to get results with the program is by following the program. 🙂
Rich Ads isn’t part of the CPA Evolution program and I don’t have personal experience working with them.
I think it’s important that you try different things in the future, but for getting started I suggest that you stick with the platforms covered in the program.
If you need help to define what platform and strategy best suits you, just submit a support ticket and I’ll help you!
WilliamHi Eric,
It’s great that you’re taking action and implementing the program!
About the comment, I’m not sure on what it means, but social media is social media… sometimes people will leave nonsense comments on your posts an ads. When it happens, just hide them.
Of course, it’s possible that eventually you run an ad promoting a bad offer or that your campaign has some issue. If you see repeated comments saying something that makes sense, don’t ignore them. But don’t worry about the nonsense stuff.
WilliamHi Kit,
Free isn’t an angle.
The angle is a core benefit of the offer you’re promoting, the most important thing that makes it a great fit for the audience you’re targeting.
Here are some videos that explain this concept:

Most offers have requirements for people to receive something for free. For example, an offer that gives away iPhones will require that people complete surveys or take offers to have a chance to win.
Different offers have different criteria, but it’s usually explained on the offer’s page.
About Facebook bans, they’re not related to whether the offers are free or not, but to your niche and your copy and if they violate Facebopok ad policies.
If you haven’t read Facebook ad policies yet, I suggest that you do so before you start advertising there.

WilliamHi Kok,
I haven’t worked with those companies before, so can’t vouch for them.
However, you can start running small campaigns with them. Reach the payment treshold and wait to see if they pay you.
Then, gradually increase volume until you feel confident and confirm that they’re trustworthy.
WilliamHi Eric,
No, that’s not true.
Facebook requires domain verification for allowing you to place your pixel on a website.
It’s possible to set up ads with domains that haven’t been verified.
WilliamHi Mark,
If the offer doesn’t allow YouTube traffic it may be better to avoid it.
Since you’ll be sending traffic from YouTube to your landing page and then from the landing page to the offer, kit’s possible to see if contextual is allowed, because “technically” you’ll be sending traffic from your site.
However, it’s possible that YouTube traffic hasn’t worked well for the merchant before. So, it’s better to choose another offer if possible.
WilliamAudience Insights is still available, but Facebook has recently updated the interface.
We have already updated the videos for the main Facebook lessons and will be updating that one asap.
You can still do exactly what Jay showed there, but I understand it can be confusing with the interface changes.
In the meantime, here are other videos to help you with angle reasearch:

WilliamThank you for sharing, Kisha!
MaxBounty and Mobidea are indeed the most newbie friendly networks.
However, all the networks in my list of recommended companies have already approved many beginners of this program, so the best is to apply for all of them.
WilliamHi Julia,
Some offers have their own affiliate program. Normally, they are more likely to accept affiliates who have already generated leads to them via a CPA network (in this case, they can properly assess the quality of the leads and don’t take unknown risks), but some companies may accept new affiliates. When this is the case, it’s certainly a good idea to give their program a try.
The CPA network plays the middle man and provides some security to both sides. In the case of the publisher/affiliate, the security is that they’ll pay you even if the merchant doesn’t pay them for some reason. However, they do eat up part of the commissions.
Most merchants are serious, so I suggest you to try their own programs when possible. Start with small volume and increase gradually as you receive your payments.
Regarding the offer requiring a purchase, you need to see if it’s really the case.
It’s important to understand that all offers will have a back-end. The nerchant needs to make money, too, so they can’t pay you for an email address and then do nothing with that lead. They need to monetize the lead.
What you need to see is what is the conversion point for the affiliate, when you get your commission. If you get the commission after a simple opt-in, then you don’t need to worry about the back-end stuff.
William
