CPA and PPA Affiliate Marketing
Cost per action
affiliate marketing is a great way to make money online. It can make
you a lot of money if you are good at getting referrals. The way it
works is that you get paid when someone clicks on your affiliate link
and then completes an 'action' required by the merchant.This can be a much easier way to make money as an affiliate as it often does not involve the reader buying a product or spending any money at all. The 'action' is often signing up to a free program, completing a survey or creating an account on the merchant's website. It is often much easier to promote this sort of affiliate link as it is free for the reader.
To get started with CPA affiliate marketing it is best to sign up to a CPA affiliate network. These are just like the affiliate network sites where you pick and choose from programs to be an affiliate of. If you combine CPA with product promotion you can very quickly build up a steady income.
Pay per click affiliate marketing is basically, advertising. However, it is still up to you which links you promote and how you promote them. PPC can make you a lot of money as you can add links throughout your content in replace for certain words. As long as these links relate to the word there is a big chance readers will click on them and earn you an instant, but often small, commission.
To get started with PPC it is also best to sign up to a PPC network. However, it is also possible to sign up to advertising programs like Google AdSense. These sites provide you with the html code for adverts relating to your site content and you place this code where ever you want on your site. You are then paid for each unique click any of your adverts get.
These two money making methods are very easy to implement but can be really successful. If you choose the right links to promote and do it well you can easily build up referrals and thus commissions.
