CPA (Cost per Action) — Why is it such a Hot Topic?

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

First of all, what is CPA marketing?

To put it simply, it’s Cost per Action or Acquisition marketing. It’s very similar to affiliate marketing. However, it is different in that this time you, the agent, do not earn your commission by attracting targeted visitors to your website and then converting them into buyers of your principal’s product.

Your commission now comes from persuading the visitor to perform some action desired by your principal; such as signing up for an e-book, filling in a questionnaire, or subscribing to an email list. Your principal can then build up a list of potential leads or acquire useful data relevant to product development and/or marketing strategy. The principal pays the agent for each action fulfilled.

Why is CPA such a hot topic today?

Because it is proving to be a valuable strategy for both principal and agent.

What’s in it for the principal?

It is a cost effective way of collecting data about consumer preferences or of building up a database of potential customers as all who perform the required action are already targeted. The hard work of attracting relevant visitors has been done for them by, you, the agent. Many businesses are using the downtime caused by the economic crisis to plan their strategy for when the upturn in the market arrives. The point being that if you cannot make a sale, a lead is the next best thing for the future.

What’s in it for, you, the agent?

At the moment there is more scope in the CPA market for agents than in the affiliate market as this is becoming relatively saturated. Also, CPA still has an air of mystery about it. The general perception is that you have to be more savvy and, perhaps, something of a guru to make inroads into this market and this misconception is tending to discourage the entry of new agents. The truth is that if you are prepared to do your research and undergo some training, entering the CPA market could prove very profitable as there is less competition than in the affiliate market at the moment.

And the reason for all the buzz?

What is probably the first comprehensive CPA training course is being launched this week,  COMMISSION  PAYLOAD, from the stable of Alex Goad and Saj P., who had so much success both financially and critically with their first two products, Google Payload and Affiliate Payload.

Is there any potential in this market?

Yes, there is definitely great revenue-making potential in the CPA market for both principal and agent in these hard economic times.

But just how realisable is that potential

for the agent?

Well, you will definitely need persistence. As with any form of business, you have to keep trying until you succeed. The rewards will be there if you put in the effort and pay your dues.

But as important as persistence is, good training is an essential prerequisite and the best course around at the moment is COMMISSION  PAYLOAD.
