CPA (Cost Per Action) Affiliate Programs : The Way To Go!

For the past few months, I've created a few blogs (including this one) to test the different Internet Marketing networks/programs in order to establish the best avenue/ways to earn money online. My findings is that CPA (Cost Per Action) Affiliate Program is one of the best way to earn money online!

CPA affiliate program is an online advertising model in which payment is based solely on qualifying action such as leads, sales, online registration etc through your site/blog. There are many different variation of CPA programs e.g. CPL (Cost Per Lead), CPV (Cost Per View), CPL (Cost Per Load) or even CPC (Cost Per Call). Among the different types of CPA programs, I find that CPL (Cost Per Lead) for free software/registration/subscription is one of the most lucrative program (at least to me).

There are many affiliate networks or private programs in the market. Before you can start the CPA Affiliate marketing, you need to register/join the network(s) as a publisher or affiliate first. There is no restriction on the number of affiliate programs you can register but usually the network take 1 to 3 working days to review and accept your application.

Just to list a few, following are some of the popular and established affiliate program(s)/network(s) that you should explore further:

1. Commission Junction   - An established affiliate network with hundreds of ready advertisers
2. Linkshare  - An established affiliate network with hundreds of ready advertisers

4. Adscend Media  - An established affiliate network with hundreds of ready advertisers
5. RevResponse - A private affiliate program that earn you commission just by sharing the FREE content (free trade magazines/ebooks etc...)

Regardless of your niche market, I am sure you can find some suitable programs from the abovementioned networks.
