CPA Offers or Affiliate Marketing- Which one to Choose?
Posted on Tuesday, January 19, 2010 at 05:58
While they might not look very different, CPA offers and affiliate offers are not the same. Here are the differences which might help you choose between the two:
Affiliate networking is about a company or affiliate network providing you with a particular link that is unique. This link is used to drive traffic to the web pages where the company's offer is highlighted. Once a purchase is made, a commission is earned by the marketer.
CPA offers are often employed similarly. But the difference lies in the fact that a commission is earned for a CPA offer every time a potential customer actually completes a certain action which does not have to be a sale. These actions range from, submitting a zip entry to providing email ids, to even signing up for a trial or something similar.
Once the marketer has started promoting a particular offer, he/she gets a code that is really not very different from an affiliate code. This allows the company to track that it is from a particular marketer so that proper credit is given. The idea is also to feed the company with as much traffic as you can to increase chances of a purchase (just like affiliate links).
CPA networking often makes conversions a lot simpler. It is always easier to get a customer to provide an email, address, or visit the website of a company that might be totally alien to them than making a purchase of $100 from the same company. Often, a free sample is used as an incentive for the visitor to complete the action which makes conversion even easier.
A CPA offer allows you to make money continuously as it is not limited to making commissions only on making sales. There are far greater opportunities of making money by way of CPA marketing. Go for it now!
