CPA stands for Cost Per Action, and it can be a very easy way for someone to earn money online. You get paid when someone enters their email address, takes a survey, or fills out a form.
Yeah, you can earn money without having someone spend money because we are ALL cheap asses, right?
You can promote CPA offers using organic reach, social media, messaging, email, and even flyers.
Keep reading, and I’ll share in detail how you can promote CPA offers using organic reach, social media, messaging, a way to get paid to exercise, and a way to earn money just by having someone click on a link before they fill out a form.
Why Promote CPA Offers?
At the time of this blog post, I’m fairly certain there is a recession going on around the world due to Covid19, the Ukraine war, high gas prices, crazy weather, and not many people wanting to work due to catching Covid19.
This means everyone is cheap, which is healthy. Promoting CPA offers means you can earn money to pay the bills without having someone spend money.
Also, some offers can pay a TON of money, I’m talking over $100 just for a lead. Someone puts in their email address, and you earn $100, cool, right?
The place I recommend you go to get access to these opportunities is this one HERE. They have the largest selection of CPA offers.
There is an application process, and you have to do a phone interview. The good news is I’ll tell you exactly what to say so you get accepted into the club. I give you the answers!
You could promote 1 offer, or what I would recommend is using email to promote TONS of offers. By building a landing page and sending emails, you OWN the traffic.
Plus, it can give you more benefits such as….
- Can promote multiple offers
- Can contact someone WAY in the future
- Promote your other content
- Do list swaps
- Easier to get accepted into affiliate programs
- MUCH higher conversion rate
- Great for launching products
- Get valuable feedback
- Protects you from algorithmic changes
- More personalized marketing
Even better, I’m giving away FREE guides on how to create a landing page, how to build a list, and how to earn money from a list HERE.
Plus, it’s FREE, so what do you have to lose? You can view this FREE guide HERE.
Now that you have your offer or your landing page, here comes the fun part of promoting it. Oh, and there is even a way to earn money when someone clicks on a link before they get taken to an offer.
Manually Talking to People!
One of the easiest ways to promote a landing page or offer is by manually talking to people. Some people feel this is spam.
Spam depends on the intent and where it’s coming from. If you have good intentions and you’re truly trying to help someone, then it’s positive and good.
If you’re clearly annoying people, then this is spam. It’s like joining a cooking forum and then sending everyone a link to purchase solar panels. It’s out of place and more spammy.
If it’s related and helpful and you’re doing it in a way that isn’t pushy, then it’s not spam.
I used to enjoy going on Facebook Messenger and adding people who were into affiliate marketing as friends. I think you can add 30 people in the morning and 30 in the evening, and you can have a maximum of 5,000 friends.
Then I would message each person, and I would say, “Hey, I see you’re an affiliate marketer like me. How is your business doing?”
If the person didn’t respond, then I would move on to someone else.
If the person did respond, I would say, “Are you interested in an easier way to earn money with your affiliate business?”
If they say “No,” I would go to the next person. If they say “Maybe or Yes,” then I would say “this really helped me check it out and let me know what you think.”
You could include a link to a YouTube video, a landing page, or use a link shortening service to promote the offer.
Something like that, do you see how you’re pulling more than pushing something on someone?
What I really enjoyed about talking to people is that sometimes they would share what they had, and I would check it out, and sometimes it was really good, and I learned!
Facebook isn’t the only place to talk to people; another popular place is Instagram.
First, you would download the app on your phone. Then, in the search bar, you would type in someone who fits your target for what you’re promoting. The more targeted, the better!
You can Direct Message (DM) up to 25 people per hour or 150 per day.
Another thing you can do with Instagram is groups. You can add up to 32 people per group. With groups, you can send 4,800 (targeted) messages a day.
You might be wondering if manually talking to people is EVEN worth it, right?
If you just got 1 stupid sign-up (not even a sale) with an offer that is $100 per lead, that is $100 a day. If you did this every day, you would earn $36,500 a year just by sending some messages.
That is, without sending someone to a landing page and getting them on an email list. With an email list, you could promote multiple offers to 1 person, probably earning more money.
Cool right?
Another place is Nextdoor.com. You can sign up and then message people that you feel are in your target audience.
Twitter is another place I’ve had “a ton” of success at. This is a free way to do Twitter and an autopilot way, and if you’re interested, HERE is how to do both.
How to Promote CPA Offers Using Content?
The way I prefer to promote CPA offers is by using content. The reason why is because of leverage. You do the work one time, and you can earn money in the future.
You could think every piece of content someone views is like sending a message. Instead of manually doing it, you’re letting the platforms do the work.
I look at content as assets, almost like little real estate rentals that I can earn money from.
Blogging is one area that I highly recommend. The challenge with blogging is that it takes time to rank.
1 blog post can take 6-10 months to fully rank in Google.
The good news is you own the blog and can get paid on autopilot years in the future, and you can repurpose your blog post. The same post can be used in Medium, LinkedIn, Quora, Substack, Reddit, and even made into a video.
You could go even deeper, and each post can be turned into short videos.
I wrote a post that shares 20 benefits to blog, how AI can be used with it, and how to start a blog from scratch at this post HERE.
For 1 short article, you can REALLY get a ton of leverage and earn more money for the least amount of work.
Cool right?
I get it you don’t want to work to get views. Another amazing way to get TONS of traffic is with short videos.
You know TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube Shorts.
All you need is a phone, plus the editing is very quick and fun. Oh, and they are very easy to make. Plus, if you make a TikTok video, you can download it and then post the same video to TONS of places.
If you want to learn more, I created a post HERE all about dominating with short videos.
Exercise and Promote CPA Offers?
Ok, we all need exercise, right? What if you could get paid while you exercise? What you can do is print out a flyer that teases what your offer will provide or a landing page.
If you have a good domain, then you can simply put the domain on the flyer.
Heck, you could even make the bottom part where someone can peel it off with your domain name on it.
The domain would then lead to a landing page where you would promote many offers through email.
I recommend college campuses and other popular locations where people walk.
If you don’t have a domain, you could always use an email address. Then, what you could do is turn on vacation mode in Gmail, and it will automatically send out a message when someone sends you an email.
The message could include something like “thanks for your interest in xxxxxx, please click on the link to learn more about xxxxxx.”
The link then would send someone to a landing page or an offer. This way, it’s on autopilot, and you don’t have to manually send out messages.
You might be wondering how to create a flyer, right? I found a tutorial on making a free one just using OpenOffice (free word processor) or Microsoft Word at this link HERE.
Conclusion
Another way you can promote CPA offers is through Craigslist, and there is a FREE way that I wrote about HERE.
I’m sure there are many other free ways to promote CPA offers, but I’ve used all these ways, and they do actually work.
The flyers I actually used a lot when I was doing an MLM. Funny story, I used to go to college campuses and pass around a sign-up sheet during classes, where people would give their contact information to learn about a side gig of earning money.
It actually worked VERY well.
I hope this blog post on how to promote my CPA offers for free was helpful. Bye for now.
