Getting accepted into the Cost Per Action networks is something that frustrates many marketers. That's because so many are used to the automatic acceptance that comes from most of the affiliate marketing networks. Cost Per Action networks are pickier because they want a higher quality marketer.

But, you can get accepted! You will want to follow the methods below if you are turned down (and even before that happens!) by the CPA networks so you can start making money from cost per action deals quickly.

The 1st thing you need to do is select the CPA networks you want to join. That is right -- you're going to join a bunch. That's because there are likely a wide variety of offers you want to pick from on the numerous networks. Something that is offered on one CPA network may not be available on another network. Also, you should pay careful attention to offers that are available in more than one network. That's because the commission may not always the same! You might discover that the same exact offer pays quite a bit more on another network.

After you have discovered which networks you want to apply to, go ahead and find their application form. They will likely ask you questions, such as how you intend on promoting their offers, where your main website is, how much traffic you generally get, and other questions they want answered. These questions may be intimidating if you are just beginning, so just answer them to the best of your ability and know that this is not the be-all end-all.

Submit the application, and be ready to wait up to a week to hear something back. Alternatively, you can just go ahead and call the CPA network to gain acceptance right away. Calling is the magic answer in many circumstances. If you are taking the time to call them and discuss things over the phone, the managers will know that you are serious about this. You'll often get accepted right on the spot!

Many CPA networks are harder to get accepted into. When that happens to you, you might want to lay out the marketing plan you have developed to promote their offers. Often laying out a solid marketing plan will make the difference in getting accepted!

As a last ditch effort, you can get a hold of a successful CPA affiliate so they can put in a good word for you. It usually doesn't come to this, however it never hurts to make these type of contacts so you can make use of them if necessary in the future.

If you aren't able to join a particular CPA network right away, and you have tried everything, you'll just have to move on and start with the CPA networks you were accepted into. You can always reapply again once you have more time under your belt. They definitely will not turn down a person who is able to get sales for themselves and for the client! Keep in mind -- the networks are there to make money, so if you are able to help them profit they have no reason not to accept you.
