Over the years, I have seen so many articles and videos online claiming they know the best CPA marketing strategy that will allow you to earn hundreds of dollars quickly.
Most of these videos and articles, however, have fake claims.
Most (if not all) of these articles and videos offer a quick way or shortcut to succeed in CPA marketing.
And let me just reveal right away that it is possible to make very good money with CPA marketing.
However, in my experience and knowledge (I have been doing CPA marketing for several years now), there’s no shortcut to success with it.
This is why I decided to write this guide on the best CPA marketing strategy so you can avoid those fake claims, which are very abundant nowadays. It will be a step-by-step guide on how to potentially earn a full-time income from CPA marketing in a REALISTIC way.
What is CPA Marketing?
Before we start talking about the strategy, we have to discuss what CPA marketing is, so you can fully understand the concept of this type of earning opportunity. CPA means cost per acquisition or cost per action.
CPA marketing is a form of affiliate marketing employed by companies of all sizes to scale their marketing efforts so that they can reach a wider audience.
They do this by partnering with bloggers, influencers, and CPA marketing platforms. The idea behind this form of marketing is to share the link to an offer and earn when somebody clicks the link and fulfills the action required by the offer.
These actions can be like signing up for an email list, buying a certain product, and more. When the action has been completed, you will receive compensation as a reward for promoting the offer.
If you do it properly, your earnings from this can really build up, so you will be able to earn really good money.
Earning potential of CPA Marketing
Speaking of earning really good money, it is true that the earning potential of CPA marketing is quite good. It is a real way to make money online. I have earned thousands of dollars myself by doing CPA marketing over the years.
That being said, you will only be able to earn good money from it if you do it correctly. And as I’ve mentioned earlier, there’s no shortcut to success. Not only is this true in real life, but it is also very true in CPA marketing.
Many of the videos and articles I’ve found online will not only waste your time but your money as well. These videos and articles will always claim that you can earn easy money quickly if you follow their CPA marketing strategy.
Most of these claims will focus on showing you the best offer to promote because it pays a good amount. But this is not the approach you need because some of the CPA networks online that are being promoted by these videos and articles have a ton of really poor offers.
Now, the question is, how do you do it properly? Well, that’s what I will discuss in the following sections.
What is the best CPA marketing strategy?
If you want to succeed in CPA marketing, your focus should be building sustainable traffic. And to do this, you have to focus on providing value to your audience. Your goal should always be to help your audience get the best deals.
The video below explains exactly how you can achieve this focus. You can also read the details below the video.

Step 1 – Identifying your topic and medium
The first step to a successful CPA marketing strategy is to build sustainable traffic to the medium where you’ve chosen to promote your CPA offers (it can be a website, YouTube channel, social media page, etc). And to do this, you have to first find out what kind of topic you want to talk about.
When choosing a topic, you have to pick one that you are knowledgeable about, so you can impart actual value to your audience. Because as I’ve mentioned above, the idea is to provide value to your audience. The reason for this is to build trust. When your audience trusts you, they will also trust what you are promoting.
After you’ve figured out what topic you want to talk about, the next step is to find out how you want to do it. If you prefer speaking in front of a camera, you can create a YouTube channel. If you are good at writing, you can create a blog or website and write articles about the topic instead.
Whatever medium you choose, the most important factor will be comfortability. You have to be comfortable with the medium you’ve chosen so that you can create good content. If you can do both or other methods as well (like TikTok, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc.), you have to choose which one to focus on first.
Don’t try to do everything at the same time. Focus on one medium; then you can expand later once you’ve established your presence on the medium you’ve chosen.
Step 2 – Creating content
After you’ve chosen your medium, the next step is to learn the skills needed to create content for that medium. For example, if you choose to build a website, you must learn how to build one.
The next step is to learn how to create content for the medium you’ve chosen. You need to learn how to optimize the content you will be making.
When you’ve got that covered, the final step is to commit to regularly creating good content for the medium you’ve chosen. This is the most important step because this is what will actually let you gain the trust of your audience.
You need to put out content that offers value to your audience on a regular basis. But be careful not to rush the content you are producing. Always focus on quality before quantity, and believe me, your audience will appreciate it.
Keep in mind that CPA marketing is not a get-rich-quick scheme. It requires a lot of patience and effort to succeed (just like with anything in real life, I might add). Anyone who claims something else is lying.
Things to avoid when doing CPA Marketing
Now that you know what you need to do, the next thing I will discuss is the things you need to avoid when doing CPA marketing. These are what I usually see in articles and videos online.
#1 – Cheap paid traffic
If you are a beginner, you might be tempted to employ the services of websites that claim you can buy cheap and fast traffic.
This is not a good idea, in my opinion, and the reason is that although you will really get traffic from these sites or platforms, the traffic you are getting will not offer any real value to you.
You will not get any conversions from the traffic you are getting because the people who will usually visit your link will have no interest in availing of the offer you will be promoting. You see, the people who visit your links are just there either to get paid by the site/platform offering paid traffic (these are usually PTC sites) or to promote their own offers.
There are also other paid traffic sources like Google or Facebook ads. While these platforms are legit, this method will require a lot of skills and experience and a huge budget for testing to earn from it. So if you are a beginner, paid traffic is a quick way to burn money because for this approach to succeed, you need to know exactly what you are doing.
#2 – Email Marketing
While this can be a good way to promote your offers, you need to be careful with how you do it. You need a traffic source to use email marketing effectively.
Now there are a lot of sites claiming you can just buy an email list. I highly recommend you stay away from these sites because you’ll just end up wasting your money.
These sites might even be illegally collecting email addresses from other people, so you will just end up condoning these sites for the unethical things they are doing.
The best way to approach email marketing is, as I’ve mentioned, to build up a sustainable traffic source first.
Once your site/channel/social media gains sustainable traffic, you can set up an email list where they can just sign up if they are interested in more info from you.
This is the organic way to execute email marketing. But again, this is something that a beginner should avoid because this method requires a lot of knowledge and experience to execute properly. But most importantly, it requires you to have traffic, so focus on this first.
Final Thoughts
As explained above, if you want to succeed in CPA marketing, you have to be willing to put in the time and effort to build your medium and gain traffic. To do this, you need to learn the proper skills to create quality content for your chosen medium.
What you should always keep in mind when doing CPA marketing is that you should always provide value to your audience. You should promote offers that your audience will really benefit from. Don’t just promote offers to earn a quick buck.
If you want to earn money on a long-term basis, you need to establish trust with your audience. In my opinion, this is the best strategy for earning a full-time income from CPA marketing.
