Matt Paulson explains how affiliates with small email lists can access private CPA offers through networks like Investing Media Solutions and StrikePoint. Financial newsletters like MarketBeat use CPA deals with advertisers such as Agora and MarketWise. Start as a sub-affiliate to build volume, then negotiate direct deals with major brands.
The next question is, "How would you go about getting private CPA offers if your list is still small?" Yeah.
So CPA is cost per action. That's generally when you get paid to generate a sale. A lot of the emails that MarketBeat sends out are CPA for some big financial newsletter advertisers like Agora and MarketWise, and then some smaller independents like Behind the Markets and some others. Often what happens is when you're just getting started, you maybe are doing $10,000 to $50,000 a month in affiliate commissions, people just don't care about you because you're not big enough to, to move the needle. And really when you're there and you're just getting started, you need to start out as a sub-affiliate for one of the big networks in the finance space. Investing Media Solutions is usually who I tell people to go to. There's another one called StrikePoint that people can work with. But you just have to go find one of those. You don't get like probably the same CPA that you would if you had direct deals, but you kind of have to earn your way into getting a direct deal with Agora or Marketwise. And the way to do that is to show volume as a subaffiliate with one of the networks that are out there.
