CPA – The Good and Bad of CPA by me…

So, you have already heard a lot of courses today talk about making money online using CPA.

Today I want to write my perspective and summarize about the good and bad of CPA.

Note that it is come from my personal experiences on CPA after working with CPA and making some money from it.

Make Money Online

What’s actually is CPA?

You have heard about CPC, CPM right? CPA is just another term of Internet marketing and let you make money with it.

CPC = Cost Per Click

CPM = Cost Per Impressions

CPA = Cost Per Action

Action here is not specific and it can be various things such as Lead, Sales, Download, Trial, Survey and so on…

It means you can get commissions from vendor without driving a ‘BUY‘ traffic to their sales page.

It is very easy right? as your driven traffic don’t have to buy from vendor, they just have to take a short survey, download an application, document, give an email, give a phone number or else and you get commissions.

It is very easy because they don’t have to BUY or to talk straightly, they do have nothing to lose to get some useful information!

So we, as Internet marketers, don’t have to hardly find a hungry traffic to drive anymore.

Just find a prospect and bingo, watch the money raking in your bank account.

I hope you get some point on CPA now, and this is the main reason why gurus or wanna-be gurus made so many courses about how to make money using CPA in both offline and online method.

Now I want to summarize what are good and what are bad about CPA here.

Are you in the deep enough niche?

Hi fellow marketer,

After I’ve spend my last 1 year and half to learn and implement Internet marketing knowledge from bad to great marketers, I found that the first thing made you not achieve success is… you are working on not deep enough niche.

Speak simply, it’s a niche that too broad. I’ll give you my example from my experiences after implemented about 4 niches and I got succeeded just one niche.

You might known that I’m marketing and selling WordPress related product. Its name is “FasterIM Opt-in plug-in for WordPress”. Sorry for that so bad name and I’ll made it more appeal in the next major version release on August 2009.

I target this niche with the keyword “wordpress opt-in plug-in” and I succeeded with it.

Other of my niches are targeting on 2-3 words but there are all completely failed.

With the reason of… It’s not deep or long tail enough. However, this might not be your problem if you know how to kick out your competitors but for rookie like me, I don’t know how to do that, I just want a simple prove that I can make a decent income online. So, what I want at the start is a “Simplicity” and actually “Made me money”.

I got that all from the niche “wordpress opt-in plug-in” even it have some competitors but I know my product has a Unique Selling Point that made my plug-in shine above my competitors.

So, if you are a beginner on Internet marketing field, I suggest you to hard work on niche research process.

Take your time as much as you can on this process and I can guarantee, you will made a decent income from it.

Don’t forget to check if your chosen niche is deep enough. 3-4 words will be easier to kick out your competitor.

Thanks for reading and good luck with your online business.
