Conclusion 

One  of  the  most  lucrative  ways  to  ​monetize  a  niche  blog  is  via  CPA  offers.  In  this  CPA 

marketing  for  beginners  guide,  I  will  show  you:  ​what  is  CPA  marketing​,  how  it  works, 


​ ​v 1.0.1  

what’s  ​the  difference  between  CPA marketing and affiliate marketing​, what are the top 

CPA  networks  you  should work with, ​how to get approved and how to promote CPA offers and 

cash in the earnings. 

You  are  getting  this  guide  for  free,  and  I  am  pretty  sure  it’s  much  better  than  those paid CPA 

products.  I  do  not  promise  you  that  you  can  make  hundreds  of  thousands  at  the  starting 

point. In the beginning, you need to learn a lot and apply those techniques. Yah! 

When  you  are  highly  skilled  and  experienced,  you  can  make  5  figure  and  even  6  figure 

income from CPA networks. 

1. What Is CPA Marketing? 

The  term  CPA  stands  for  Cost  Per  Action.  It’s  also  called  Pay  Per  Lead,  in  short  PPL.  CPA 

marketing is relatively easier than selling products. 

The  main  idea  behind  CPA  affiliate  marketing  is  getting  particular  action  from  your  traffic. 

This  action  can  be submitting an Email, filling up a form, making a download, submitting a pin 

code, submitting a mobile number, and even getting a sale. 

People  are  more  likely  to  get  free  products  rather  than  spending  their  earned  money.  Thus 

driving  your  traffic  to  a particular task can lead you to money. Generally, you can make $0.50 – 

$20  per  CPA  offer.  However,  some  high-end  CPA  offers  pay  $750  or  even  more  for  a  particular 

action by your traffic. Doesn't it sound amazing? 

​ PA marketing for beginners​ guide for you. 


Yah! That’s why I came with this C

2. How CPA Marketing Works? 

Some  well-known  CPA  networks  control  the  whole  process.  The  vendors  submit  their 

particular  job  or  product  to  CPA  networks.  Those  CPA  networks  promote  those  offers  via  CPA 

marketers  like  us.  They  give  us  a  fixed  amount  of  money  for  every  particular  offer  depending 


​ ​v 1.0.1  

on how much the vendor or CPA offer creator has invested. 

Your  work  is  straightforward;  firstly,  you  have  to  apply  to  a  CPA  network.  After  getting 

approved,  browse  the  existing  offers  and  select  the  offer  that  suits  your  interest.  After 

determining the offer, just promote it as much as you can to the targeted online visitors. 

3. CPA Marketing Vs. Affiliate Marketing 

I  have  already  mentioned  that  CPA  marketing  is  much  easier  than  ​affiliate  marketing​.  In  the 

case  of  affiliate  marketing,  you  must make sales to get a profit. On the other hand, getting sales 

in CPA marketing is not mandatory to make a profit. 

You  can  distribute  free  offers,  trial  products,  apps,  etc.,  that  people  can  grab  for  free.  You  can 

make  a profit for their particular action like confirming an offer, making an order for a free trial 

product, or even downloading a specific app or software. 

Thus  making  money  with  CPA became very easy compared to Affiliate marketing.  There are a 

ton of CPA driven sites on the web; one of my favorites can be accessed h

introduce  you  to  some  best  CPA  networks  to  start  your  CPA  marketing  and  earn  a  handsome 

amount of money. 

Read  the  details  about  each  CPA  affiliate  network  to  get  more  insights.  For  each  CPA  site,  you

Join AdWorkMedia 

The  best  thing  about  the  ​AdWorkMedia  network  is  its  tracker  via  which  you  can  know  about 

the  browser,  device,  location,  etc.,  of  your  converted  traffic.  Although  this  tracker  is  not  as 

powerful  as  the  premium  trackers,  having  a  built-in  (and  free),  link  tracker  means  many  CPA

Here goes the list of top 10 CPA networks in the world: 

1. MaxBounty (rec. for Experts)  6. Clickbooth 


2. Adworkmedia (rec. for All)  7. ClickDealer 
3. CPALead (rec. for beginners)  8. CPAGrip (recommended for beginners) 
4. Adscendmedia  9. CPATrend 
5. MGCash.com (rec. for beginners)   
 
 

There  is  an  important  reason you should start with the CPA network that I have recommended 

for  beginners.  For  example,  ​MaxBounty  has  traffic  and  promotion  method  restrictions  on  its 

offers.  Such  as,  some  offers  can’t  be  promoted  on  free  giveaway  sites,  some  offer  promotion 

activities  can’t  contain  “Free,”  “Win,”  “Claim,”  etc.,  words,  and  so  more.  After  breaking  these 

restriction  rules  repeatedly,  you  may  get  banned  with  your  all  earned  money.  On  the  other 

hand,  ​CPALead  has  no  traffic  or  promotion  method  restriction  for  its offers. Therefore, you can 

use  any  kind  of  traffic  and  use  any  word  while  promoting  its  offers.  This  is  the  reason  why  I 

marked a Tag beside those CPA networks. 

Some Terms About CPA Networks You MUST Know: 


 
● Advertiser  and  Publisher:  ​Advertisers  are  the  people  who  pay  CPA  networks  to  get 
conversion  of  their  offers. On the other hand, Publishers are the people like you and me 
who are promoting CPA network offers to make money. 
● EPC:  Full  form  of  EPC  is  Earning  Per Click. It does not mean that you will get money to 
bring  only  clicks  to  your  offers.  It  means,  on  average,  publishers  earned  the given EPC 
rate  from  every  click.  For  example:  If  a  CPA  offer  of  $2.50  got  500  clicks  from  20 

20 
​ ​v 1.0.1  

different  publishers and 70 clicks converted into leads. So, it’s EPC will be ($2.5*70)/500 
= $0.35. 
● Payout/CPA  rate:  This  is  the  money  rate  you  will  pay  for  getting  every  single 
lead/action  for  that  particular  CPA  offer.  So,  have  a  look  at  the  Payout/CPA  rate  before 
selecting your request. 
● Conversion  (in  %):  This  is  an  essential  indication  of  which  offer  to  choose  before 
starting  your  promotional  activities.  CPA  offers  with  high  conversion rates are always 
preferable.  For  example:  Think  about  the previous model where the offer got 500 clicks 
and 70 leads/actions. Here is the conversion rate of that offer (70/500)*100% = 14%. 
● County  code:  Almost  95%  of  CPA  offers  are  county  targeted.  Therefore,  you  must  be 
careful  about  choosing  the  suggestion.  If  you  promote  the  US  offers  to  the  people  of 
Australia,  you  will  not  get  any  payment.  Some  CPA  networks  categorized  their  offers 
based  on  county,  and  some  mention  the  county  code  (US,  UK,  AU,  BR,  etc.)  along  with 
the offers. 
● Incentive  and  non-Incentive:  Here  is  another  important  and  probably less known CPA 
network  term.  Suppose  you  search  for  the  meaning  of  the  “incentive”  word.  In  short, 
“incentive”  refers  to  a  digital  bribe  to  get  artificial  actions/leads  from  people.  In  the 
case  of  incentive  offers,  you  can  allure  people  by  giving  them  extra  gifts,  coupons, 
money,  etc.,  to  get  the  story  from  them.  On  the  other  hand,  these  digital  bribes  are 
strictly prohibited in case of non-incentive offers. 
● Offer  type:  CPA  networks  included  offers  of  various  types  such  as  Pin  submit,  Email 
submit, Downloads, Survey, Installs, Mobile, Purchase, etc. 
 
 

Also,  I  want  to  share  some  trending  community  of  CPA  marketers  that  can  help  you  stay 

updated  with  the CPA world’s latest events and increase your skill. Some of those communities

5. How To Get Instant Approval in Any CPA Network? 

Most  of  the  newbies  face  this first problem with getting approval in top CPA networks. So, here 

is my recommendation for this problem; 

If  you  are  a  newbie  in  the  world  of  CPA  networks,  then  don’t  apply  for  the  world’s  top  leading 

CPA  networks  such  as  ​MaxBounty  or  ​Peerfly  because  these  networks  will  approve  your 

account  after  the  interview  will  conduct  via  mobile  call.  Besides,  these  networks  require  your 

previous experience and have strict and fast rules about offer promotion. 

So, what should you do? 

It’s better to start with a newbie-friendly CPA network. 

Wondering how much you can make with these newbie-friendly CPA networks? 

It  depends  on  your  skill  and  experience  to  offer  a  promotion.  Some  expert  CPA  marketers  are 

making $3,000+ per day with these newbie-friendly CPA affiliate networks. 

Here  are  some  newbie-friendly  and reliable CPA networks to get instant approval. I need to say 

that  I  don’t  sit  with  just  one  CPA  network.  Get  your  account  approved  to  at  least  3  CPA 

networks  so  that  you  can  compare  the  quality  of  offers,  CPA  rate,  conversion  rate,  etc.,  which 

will help you in the long run. 

Here goes the list for you: 

Here goes the list of top 10 CPA networks in the world: 

1. AdWorkMedia  6. Convert2Media 

2. CPALead  7. A4D 

3. AdGateMedia  8. CPAtrend 

4. CPAGrip  9. ClickDealer

Firstly  apply  in  2-3  CPA  networks  for  publishers/affiliate  accounts  and  gain  some  experience 

working  in  the  CPA  industry.  Then  you  may  start  with  leading  CPA  affiliate  networks  for 

higher achievement. 

Here  goes  the  step  by  step  process  to  apply  in  CPA  networks  (both  newbie-friendly  and  top 

leading) and to get fast approval: 

Let’s  start  with  AdWorkMedia and CPALead, which are useful to begin with. Below you can see 

the  screenshot  of  the  sign-up  form.  In  almost  all  CPA networks, you need to provide nearly the 

same information while applying for a publisher/affiliate account. 

Most  of  the  CPA  networks  require  your  own  established  website or blog via which you are will 

to promote CPA offers. However, you can also advertise with other sites and media. 

Maybe  some  of  you  are  stuck  at  this  point  only because you don’t have an established website. 

Don’t  worry,  my  friend,  CPALead  doesn’t  require  any  website  😀 . So get started with it. If you 
have a good website, then you are highly recommended to apply for AdworkMedia as well. 

Step 1: 

Go  to  the  signup  page  of  ​AdWorkMedia  and  ​CPALead and fill up your name and other personal 

information.  I  recommend  you  provide  a  professional  email  hosted  on  your  domain  (for 

example,  [email protected])  if  possible  because  it  will increase the chance to get approved. 

If you don’t have any, proceed with your regular Gmail, Hotmail, or Yahoo Email. 

Step 2: 

Filling up the promotional method part of the signup form is very important to get approved.  

Here are some quick tips to fill up this part: 

● Choose  either  website  or  PPC  as  the  promotional  method.  If  you  can,  choose  both  of 
them (if the option is available). 

23 
​ ​v 1.0.1  

● Don’t  try  to  lie  by  providing  others’  websites  as  your  promotion  source.  You  may  be 
caught. 

● Always choose “Incentive” as the type of traffic. 

● You  can  add  these  promotional  methods  in  the  description:  PPC  campaigns, 
Facebook  ads,  Promotion  via  content,  Promotion  via  SEO,  and Promotion via Display 
networks. 

Step 3: (Only For Top CPA Networks) 

After  pressing  the  “Submit  Application”  button,  you  are  done  for  the  newbie-friendly  CPA 

networks but not for the top networks that approve accounts after a mobile phone interview.  

After  applying  for  an  account,  they  will  Email  you  by  telling  you  that  they  will  send  you  a 

confirmation mail after reviewing your application. 

In  the  case  of  the  top  CPA  network,  don’t  just  keep  sitting  on  your  chair  idly.  You  need  to 

contact  your  affiliate  manager  as  soon as possible (you will get information about your affiliate 

manager in the first Email after applying). 

Here are the best ways to contact your affiliate manager: 

● Firstly, try to make a phone call from your mobile. 

● If  that’s  not  possible,  then  buy  some  Skype  credit  and  make  a  phone  call  to  your 

affiliate manager’s mobile number. 

● If  you  can’t  do  that,  either  send  an  Email  or  send  a  Skype  message  saying  that  you 

just applied for a publisher account and are ready for the phone interview. 

This  simple  approach  will  give  a  positive  impression  about  you  in  front  of  your  affiliate 

manager.  Besides,  it  shows  that  you are highly interested and very serious about this publisher 

account, which is a positive sign to get fast approval.

6. How To Promote CPA Offers? 

There are 100+ ways to promote CPA offers to make a profit. 

Here goes some CPA offer promoting strategies: 


 
● Sharing  on  relevant  groups  and  communities  in  various  social  networks  like 
Facebook,  Google+,  LinkedIn,  etc.  (I  got  my  first  ever  CPA  lead  via  sharing  CPA  link  in 
Google+ which enhanced my confidence to start a new project on it) 
● You  can  create  converting  videos  and  get  leads  via  video  marketing  on  various 
platforms such as Youtube, Dailymotion, Vimeo, etc. 
● You  can  write  high-quality  content  and  promote  the  content  via  other  blogs,  Web  2.0 
sites, and article directories. 
● If  you  have  any  blog  that  matches  with  any  offers  of  CPA  networks,  then  you  can  use 
your blog to get conversion/action and make money. 
● You  can  also  build  an  email  list  to  get  high-quality  leads.  In  this  case,  I  recommend 
GetResponse because of its high-quality service and affordability. 
● You  can  create  a  new  site  based  on  any  type  of  CPA  offer  and  rank  it  to  get  unlimited 
CPA leads. This is what I am doing for myself. 
● You can buy banner ads and spread your CPA offers without having your site. 
● Running  Facebook  ad  campaigns  and  PPC  campaigns  will  also  end  up in a significant 
profit from CPA offers. 

#1. Promote CPA offers via Facebook 

Facebook  is  known  as  the  ocean  of  traffic  as  it  gets  more  than  1  billion  unique  visitors  daily. 

Here  go  the  effective  formulas  to  promote  CPA  offers  on  Facebook.  Remember,  in  the  case  of 

Facebook.  You  need  to  cover  up  your  CPA  offer  link  in  the  second  method  or  write  a  post  on 

your blog. 

Firstly,  do  research  and  select  some  pages  that  are  related  to  your  chosen  CPA  offer.  Make  a 

real,  trustworthy  comment  with  a  strong  CTA  (​Call  to  Action​)  so  that  people  will  click on your 

provided link.  

25 
​ ​v 1.0.1  

To  leverage  the  whole  process,  you  can  ask your friend to give likes on your comment, making 

you more authentic. Watch the below image as an example: 

CPA Offer Promotion on Facebook 

You  can  get  laser  targeted  traffic  by  doing  a  little  more  in-depth work, such as sending private 

messages. However, you need to keep in mind that you need to be more conscious and strategic 

in this case. 

Visit  pages  related  to  your  CPA  offer,  read  comments  on  each  post,  find  someone  who  has  a 

problem, and ask for help (your CPA offer must solve the problem). 

Remember  to  mention  his/her  name  and  say  how  you  found  him/her  while  sending  a  private 

message.  You  can  also  start  a  conversation  with  Hi,  Hello,  What’s  up,  etc.,  and  then  come  to 

your  main  point. Ensure you get a replay from the other side, which will decrease your chances 

of being a spammer on Facebook. 

Check the image below as an example: 

26 
​ ​v 1.0.1  

In  both  cases,  you  need  to  be  careful  and  stay  safe.  Don’t  make  too  many  comments  in  a short 

time;  neither  send  too  many  private  messages.  Keep  a  gap  of  at least 30 minutes between your 

comments  and  private  messages.  It’s  better  not  to  do  more  than  five  comments  and  private 

messages per day. 

#2. Twitter CPA offer Promotion 

Twitter  is  not  as  hard  as Facebook in the case of links. So, you can just cover/shorten your CPA 

27 
​ ​v 1.0.1  

affiliate  link  using ​bit.ly and promote on Twitter. Surprisingly, shorten links get more clicks on 

Twitter, according to several pieces of research. 

It’s  better  to  start  your  Twitter  marketing  from  hashtag  research  for  the  best  result.  For  that, 

visit  hashtag  analyzing  tools  such  as  ​hashtags.org  and type any keyword that’s related to your 

CPA offer. 

For  example,  I  typed  “amazon”  as  several CPA offers are related to amazon gift cards and deals. 

After  pressing  the  search  button,  you  will  get  recent  tweets  that  include  #amazon  and  other 

related tags. Select some tags and get ready for your main work. 

Now your job is to make tweets, including hashtags that you have selected. 

Here are some tricks to make your tweets more visible and effective: 

● Tweet 8-10 times a day 

● Use 2-3 hashtags in each tweet. 

● Try to use a related picture in the tweet. 

Besides  tweeting,  you can also move to a personal approach, just like Facebook. For this, search 

on  Twitter  by  your  keyword  and  see  if  anyone  is  asking  for  help  to  end  up  with  your  CPA 

offer/product as the solution. 

If  you  think  you  can  provide  a  solution  and  make  some  bucks,  send  a  direct  message  to 

him/her by describing the solution.

#3. Promote CPA offers on Pinterest 

Pinterest  marketing  is  easy,  exciting,  and  fun. Most amazingly, researchers found that average 

sales  from  Pinterest  traffic  are  higher  than  Facebook  traffic,  which  is  a  clear  sign  of  getting  a 

higher conversion rate from your CPA offers. 

In  this  case,  it  will  be  better  to  write  a  post  about  your selected CPA offer and then drive traffic 

from Pinterest. On the other hand, you can also use shortened links. 

Here are the easy steps to promote CPA offers on Pinterest: 

● In case you are new, go to P


​ interest.com​ and sign up for an account. 

● Write the right profile name and description. 

● Create  a  board  that’s  related  to  your  CPA  offer.  For  example,  You  can  name your board 

“Clash of Clans Guru” as several CPA offers on COC mobile game. 

● After that, search on Pinterest by your keyword. 

● Pin  some  lovely images on your board and follow other boards of the same niche (Don’t 

follow more than 100 boards in a day). 

● This is how you can grow your followers on Pinterest. 

● After  having  some  followers,  you  can  start  promoting  your  CPA  offers  by  uploading 

and  pinning  images  along  with  your  offer  link.  Make  sure  your  images  are  attractive 

and relevant. 

● To  add  the  link  to  your  board’s  pin,  you  need  to  open  the  image  and  click  on  the  edit 

button. Then put the link below in the box and save it. Remember, you can add a link to 

pins  that  are  uploaded  by  you.  You  cannot  add  a  link  to  any  pin that you have repined 

from other boards. 

29 
​ ​v 1.0.1  

● Add  as  many  images/pins  as  you  can  to  your  board.  Find  out  the popular pins of other 

committees by looking at the number of Pins it and Like. 

#4. Youtube CPA Marketing 

Some  CPA  marketers  are on fire just because of massive traffic from Youtube. If you are good at 

video  making  and  editing,  forget  about  all  other  methods  and  focus  on  making  high-quality 

videos. 

I  know  some  CPA  marketers  who  are  making  $10,000+  every  month  only  via  Youtube  video 

marketing. 

Don’t  worry  if  you  are  a  newbie  and  don’t  know  how  to  make  videos.  You  can  simply  make  a 

slide  presentation  in  ​MS  Powerpoint  and  record  the  presentation  as  video  using  any  screen 

recorder  like  ​CamStudio​,  ​Ice-cream  Screen  recorder​,  ​Camtasia​,  etc.  Don’t  make  videos  for  the 

sake of making videos. Make videos to get action from people. 

Here are some trimps to rank Youtube videos and make more money: 

● Go  to  ​keywordtool.io  and  search  for  your  specific  keyword under the Youtube tab. Or 


use another k
​ eywords research tool we reviewed​. 

● Select a keyword that suits best to your selected CPA offer. 

● Try to keep the length of the video for more than 2 minutes. 

● Put  your  keyword  in  the  video  file’s  name  (before  uploading  it),  in  the  title,  in  the 
description part, and tags while uploading the Youtube video. 

● To accelerate the ranking, share your video on all social media as much as you can. 

● You  can  also  build  some  backlinks  for  your  video  to  get  the  best  result. ​Click here to

#5. Promote via Reddit 

If  you  are  new  to Reddit, then it’s better to avoid this section for now. The good news is you can 

get  thousands of traffic from Reddit within a couple of hours if your post hits the top position in 

it. 

The  bad  news  is  the  Reddit  community  hates  marketers.  So,  suppose  you  are  willing  to 

promote  your  CPA  affiliate  links  or offers on Reddit. In that case, you must be very, very careful 

and strategic. 

Here are some tips to start with Reddit marketing: 

1. Get  an  account  on  ​Reddit.com  and  engage  in  the  ​subreddits  (these  are  individual 
groups on any specific topic/niche under Reddit). 

2. Act  like  genuine  community  members  and  avoid  all  sorts  of  promotions,  at  least  for 
the first month. 

3. Gather  link  karma  (by  posting  helpful  and  funny  links)  and  comment  karma  (make 
valuable comments in other posts). 

4. Use ​Redditlist.com​ to track the most active and fast-growing subreddits. 

5. After  achieving  some  karmas,  you  can  write  a  helpful  post  on  any  topic  excellent 
related  to  your  CPA  offer  (don’t  forget  to  include  the  link  to  the  CPA  offer  or  Blogspot 
post) and publish it. 

6. Make your title attractive so that you can get more views and upvotes. 

7. Upvotes  are  the  game-changer  in  Reddit,  so  focus  on  getting  more  Upvotes  from other 

community members. If you provide value via your post or link, you will get upvotes. 

#6. Forum Marketing 

Many  people  misunderstood  forum  marketing  and  ended  up  getting  banned.  Just  posting  the 

link in any forum post or reply is not called forum marketing.  

31 
​ ​v 1.0.1  

First,  you  need  to  know  the  ultimate  aim  of  forums.  Forums  are  created  to  build  a  community 

and help each other, not to promote products and services. ​Signature enabled forums are best to 

get started. 

I  am  not  going  to  provide  any  list  of  forums  because  it  depends  on  your  CPA  offer  niche.  Find 

out some forums that are related to your selected CPA offer. 

Here are the steps that will lead you to successful forum marketing: 

● Sign up for a signature enabled forum and complete your profile details. 

● Make  sure  the  forum  has  enough  members  and  visitors.  Simply  look  at  the  number 
of threads and replies. 

● Add your blogpost’s link in the “Home page” or “Website” section of the profile. 

● Write  an  excellent  looking  sentence  and  include  the  link  in  the  signature  section. 
Some  forums  do  not  allow  direct  affiliate  links,  in  that  case,  link  to  your  blogspot 
post. 

● After  setting  up  your  profile  and  signature,  start  engaging  and  helping  other  forum 
members. 

● Make  friends,  give  replies,  ask  questions,  give  thumbs  up,  and  position  yourself  as  a 
dedicated contributor to the forum. 

This  is  a  forum  thread  in Warriorforum where a member asked a question that attracted lots of 

replies.  

If  you  notice  carefully  that  the  member  expressed  his  expertise  about  CPA  marketing  in  this 

thread,  and  right  down  in  the  signature  part,  he  invited  me  to  check  out  my  CPA 

marketing-related  guideline.  According  to  his  saying,  this  single  link  gave him lots of targeted 

traffic from this particular forum only. 

#7. Article marketing 

32 
​ ​v 1.0.1  

Article  marketing  is  pretty  much  the  same  as  blog  post  promotion.  If  you don’t have your blog, 

you can signup for free blogging services like ​Medium.com​, ​WordPress.com​, or B
​ logger.com​. 

Write  articles  that  are  somehow  relevant  to  your  chosen CPA offer. For example, you can write 

an  article  on  the  Clash  of  Clans  mobile  game  and  promote  CPA  offers  related  to  the  Clash  of 

Clans  game.  Make  sure  your article title is attractive enough to grab people’s attention. Besides, 

add a strong call to action sentence or button to get the best out of it. 

In  the  above  example,  you  can  use  “Grab  Free  COC  Gems,” “Participate in COC Gems Giveaway,” 

etc.,  as  CTA  so  that  people  will  take  action.  You  can  make  a  handsome  amount of bucks every 

month. 

Here are some tips for article marketing: 

● Don’t over-promote your CPA offer in the articles. 

● Make sure to add value to your content so that it will be approved for publishing. 

● Use an attractive title to get maximum attention and conversion. 

● Use the CPA affiliate link twice in the article. 

● Write articles of 800+ words for better results. 

● After publishing, promote your article to get more instant traffic. 

#8 Promote CPA offers via native advertising 

Native  advertising  is  an  online  marketing  method  that  involves  using  paid  ads  that 

match the website’s look and fit seamlessly into the surrounding content. This way, you 

can  leverage  the  content  and  the  credibility  of  publishers  and  increase  your  ads’ 

conversions. 

Using  native  ​advertising  networks  like MGID, Outbrain, and Taboola​, you can place CPA 

offers on websites like MSN, CNN, and other big publishers. 

33 
​ ​v 1.0.1  

Native ads on CNN – Example 

I’ve  written  a  ​complete  guide  on  native  advertising  that  explains  what  native 

advertising  is,  the  PROs  and  CONs,  and  how  to  leverage  and  are  the  best  native 

advertising networks. 

Also, we show you some best practices you should follow to maximize your ROI. 

7. How To Get Payment From CPA Networks? 

Several payment methods are supported by tons of CPA networks. However, I found Paypal and 

Bank  transfer very common among all the networks I have tried. Besides, you can also get your 

payment via Skrill, Payoneer, Check, Western Union, etc. 

I  highly  recommend  you  sign  up  for  a  Payoneer  account  with  a  virtual  bank  account  under 

Bank of America.  

You  can  use  this  bank  account  to  get  all  your  affiliate  money.  I  prefer  Payoneer  over  Paypal 

because, with a Payoneer master card, I can get cash from an ATM at any corner of the world.
