* Favorable Terms of payment.

* High Volume of Advertisers and Offers.

* Excellent Customer service (Publishers).

From my experience and research I would recommend the following networks, to start off with:

* The Biz Opp Network..

* Neverblue.

* MAXBounty 2.0.

* CPA Empire.

* Hydra.

Follow these suggestions and you will get accepted. Be extra careful if you do not reside in the United States, as most CPA networks are very wary of Non-US based affiliates.

Rule number one – Never appear to be a newbie or a beginner, even if you are one.

Networks do not like filling up their books with newbies, because their earning potential is very low.

You must come across as a person who knows what he wants, knows what he is doing, and is successful at doing it.

Always, look like, and talk like a seasoned affiliate marketer, and this is what you have to do, to appear so.

Have a well designed professional looking website.

If you do not have a website, then set up an hosting account with a company like Hostmonster or Hostgator.

Register a domain name that is linked to internet marketing or affiliate marketing industry. The CPA industry would be more professional. Set up your website with at least 10 to 15 pages of relevant quality content, all CPA, CPL and affiliate marketing related.

It would be easier for you to set up a blog, as most hosting companies have CPanel, which has a WordPress blog creating function in it. It is very simple. Just follow the tutorial videos contained in very CPanel, and you would do fine.

Have a business looking email address, not a free yahoo, hotmail or Gmail address, but a paid email application. You can create one with the hosting company of your website.

This is an example of the domain name and email account you can set up. This is an example only and not an existing domain name: 21stcenturyaffilatemarketing.com and an email address that looks likthis admin(at)21stcenturyaffiliatemarketing.com or this yourname(at)21stcenrutyaffiliatemarketing.com.

Having done that, remember to set up a Skype account, it is free. Let your Skype id be your name or part of the domain name of your website.

Most CPA networks like talking to their prospective affiliates. They may phone you, and these are the typical questions they would ask you.

Question: How long have you been doing Affiliate Marketing?

Suggested Answer: Last 18 to 24 months. Quantify it in months because the volume sounds larger. Say 24 months instead of 2 years, because 24 definitely sounds larger than 2.

To Your success.

It’s easy enough to apply to a CPA network, but remember, these guys are picky. After all, it is their good name on the line so they have to pick their affiliates carefully. How do you ensure that you get accepted to the hottest CPA networks in town?

There are two things you have to do before applying to any CPA network. First, you have to ensure that you are interested in their products, and second, that you can convince them that you can effectively market their products. The first one is pretty self-explanatory; if your interest is in health products, you probably shouldn’t apply for networks offering computer-related or other technical products. For the second, you’ll have to do your homework. Familiarize yourself with the basic jargon of online marketing such as PPC, conversion rates, CPL and others. You might want to sign up for an online course teaching you about the basics of CPA, as well, but choose the one you’re getting carefully.

Once you’ve selected the CPA networks you’re interested in, apply to them. Don’t worry about having multiple applications; the more you have, the better. Fill up the forms as thoroughly as you can and stress any past experience you have had with affiliate marketing, particularly with pay-per-click advertising. You’ll also be asked the URL of your website so they can check it out; if you don’t have a site, just list Google and then use the site description field to explain how you will create custom sites and landing pages to promote the merchant’s offers.

Once your application is processed, you’ll usually get a follow-up interview by phone. The interviewer will ask how you intend to promote the offers, your past experience with affiliate marketing and how much your advertising budget is. Answer the questions as honestly as you can. After the interview, if you don’t hear from them at once, don’t be afraid to follow up your application on the phone. These follow-ups may even be a factor in your acceptance since they indicate a high level of interest on your part.

Once you’re accepted, and before you begin your promotions, make sure to read the CPA network’s terms and conditions carefully. Keep in mind that if you violate these guidelines, the CPA network will disallow your signups and you’ll receive nothing for your efforts.

Now the rest is up to you. Decide how you will drive traffic to your site and get people to sign up for the free offers of the CPA network. With the right promotional strategy, you may soon be earning enough to quit your job and work from home. But if you would like to learn more about CPA marketing in order to maximize your earning opportunities, make sure you’re one of the first to sign up for Commission Payload, an online learning course that will not only teach you everything you need to know to succeed in CPA but also allow you to practice your marketing skills while making money by giving you eight custom campaigns and sales funnels from a CPA network that sells health products.
