Pay per lead networks (also known and cost per action) networks don’t just accept you right away. They are the strictest of all affiliate marketing programs. I don’t care what eBook told you otherwise.

Azoogle, Copeac and others are top of the line. They will expect you to already know how to market. They will expect that you have a full-working website that already gets a lot of traffic. They have you fill out all this information: name, address, website, ask how many visitors you already receive to your website, what kind of marketing methods you are using (If you spam,they’ll ditch you in a hurry), etc.

Look at it from their point of view. They are working with big companies who are willing to pay big money for bringing in leads to their list because they don’t have the time to do it themselves. The CPA networks promise to deliver this to their customers, the big companies.

If they find out (and they do find out because you have to fill out ALL this information) that your website has zero traffic, they are not going to throw $60 a lead or even $2 a lead at you. Each CPA network will call you one on one by phone. It’s not like regular affiliate programs.

My recommendation is to first START with a normal affiliate program. Start by building a list. Learn to build a proper website. Learning to find a niche market. Learning to build a relationship with customers. I assure you that if you look for the short cut and least work to money, you won’t find it. Then move into a PPL/CPA network.

This lesson took me 1.5 years to realize this and I wasted a lot of time, and I’ve had to start all over again. Don’t make the same mistake.
