Getting accepted to any CPA Network the Blackhat Way !

[SpyBoy]

Often imitated, never duplicated, I wrote the book on getting new marketers approved to CPA networks and though many have copied my strategies and taken credit for them on other forums

I've gone one better for you guys and am working on a deal with one network after another to get you guys approved if you are a Dominate IM member.

Basically I'm running on the strength of my pull with a number of networks and that I will be teaching many of you guys how to make legitimate income with CPA offers.

This of course only makes them more money so it's in their best interest to approve you guys.

Below is my original version on how to get accepted to virtually any network, if you want the sure thing route, do as a I say below, and go through our referral link to the network(s) you choose which can be found in the CPA Resources section.

If we don't have a referral link for a certain network on the list, simply go through the process below and if you are disapproved, I'll make a personal phone call to try and get you in.

Getting accepted to any CPA Network:

1.Be a professional – spend a few dollars to look like a professional marketer if you haven’t already, it makes all the difference.

Most applications are denied these days because single affiliates are known for 99% of the fraud on CPA networks. If you want instant approval, immediate access to exclusive offers not even listed on the site and higher payouts on every offer right away, then you need to be a company, not a person.

This is all very simple and inexpensive, but these pretty little touches make you a hot ticket item when your application is being reviewed.

First of all, spend the $60 to $90 and register a company with your state if you are not one already. It takes less than 24 hours in most states to receive your official registration and it can now be done online in less than ten minutes. Get a workable name for your online business ventures like “Lightspeed Marketing”, something that makes you sound like a marketing company.

Once you have registered your new company name go to sa2.www4.irs.gov/modiein/individual/index.jsp and get your Tax ID for your new business.

This EIN number is what you will use to sign up to the networks with instead of your social security number, and you will apply as a company, not an individual.

Take your printed out EIN number and confirmation document from the state for your business registration to your bank the next day and you will now have an official business checking account to make and receive payments.

Now you can apply to the CPA networks and merchants with your company name and have them pay you in your company name by check or bank wire.

When networks and merchants see that you are not only a company but a marketing company, they take your application much more seriously and make it a point to get you up and running quickly with their best payouts and offers.

If you are not located in the US, then simply follow the procedure for registering a business in your own country.

2.Get a professional website and email address - Most affiliates freak out when the networks ask what sites they promote offers on. They often go to immense trouble trying to set up niche specific blogs to impress the network.

If you simply have a generic corporate site, you will be approved lightning quick and you won’t be expected to reveal any of your other sites (especially good if you don’t have any other sites yet).

Take a look at a simple site like IntermarkMedia.com, it looks like every other
corporate site for an internet marketing company out there, and you can get an
almost exact copy made with your own logo and text for less than $200 on a site
like GetAFreelancer.com if you aren’t well versed in web design.

Don’t apply to networks with gmail and hotmail accounts, I’m not saying you won’t get approved, but I am saying that networks frown on these types of submissions and these accounts are heavily scrutinized.

3.Get a dedicated business phone line with a professional voicemail and don’t use a cell - You can get Skype, or MagicJack, or any one of a thousand phone services with voicemail for less than $5 a month if you don’t have a spare line.

Your voicemail should be something to the effect of “Hi you’ve reached the desk of John Smith, I’m either on the phone or away from my desk, please leave me a message and I’ll give you a call back as soon as I can, Thanks”.

Do not give them a cell number where you have a rap song playing for five minutes followed by a robotic operator saying “ To leave a voicemail press 1”.

This really makes you look like an amateur.

I personally recommend a service like TollFreeLive. You can get a toll free number with hundreds of extensions and 1000 minutes for $29.00 a month.

The best choice is really Vonage for business. It's still only $30 a month for unlimited long distance, and all you need is you EIN to get a business account. This means that when you call these networks and anyone of importance for that matter, the caller ID won't show up as "Smith, John" it will show up as "Lightspeed Marketing" or whatever your company name is, and that little itty bitty touch makes you look too legit to quit in the eyes of a network.

4.Get an instant messenger - (Preferably AIM and ICQ since this is what most aff managers use) and a professional screenname like JohnSmith, your company name, or a combination of both like "LightspeedJohn".

5.Call the network/merchant the next day after you submit your application – Don’t work on their time frame, work on yours.

Once you submit an application, grab their phone number and call them the next day if they haven’t already approved you.

If you wait for them, it could take up to two weeks for an approval if there have been an influx of applications, and frankly, they appreciate pro-active affiliates who are serious about working with them.

There are only two questions your application reviewer will probably ask you:

1. How do you promote offers?
2. What type of offers are you interested in?

The answers are simple:

1. I buy traffic and banner space
2. I run all types of offers if they are converting well, I have access to a lot of traffic sources and a large budget to spend on good offers.

The End.

I know it may sound trivial to you, but from a lot of experience and a lot of conversations with CPA networks, these few simple things will guarantee your acceptance and an affiliate manager willing to do whatever he or she can to help you get up and running.

Thanks for the information. But it seems CPA Network is not so eager to accept affiliates from other continents, such as from Asia. Do you have some tips to overcome this?

[Narith]

This really help :)

and.. which is the best network always has good offers?

Thanks for sharing..

[goranco]

Great tips. I was thinking of registering my own company but did not know where to start and how much it would cost. $60 - $90 sounds reasonable and it really can help to get accepted into CPA Networks.

The most simple way of getting accepted to the Cpa netowr is to fill up the application and right after that go and call the affiliate menager to get approved. It worked for me eveytime. :) But remember you need to know how to talk and which specific word use. Like you can't use affiliate you should use publisher. Sometimes you can say cpa offers but try to use most of the time verticals :) This will show that you know what you're talking about and the cpa networ will see you as a professional person not a newbie. :)
