How to Get Accepted by CPA Affiliate Networks & The eBay Affiliate Network Truth

===========================================
1. How to get accepted by CPA affiliate networks
===========================================

Thanks for all your great feedback on the make money giving away freebies post I made.

However, some people have trouble when they try to join the CPA networks but without a high traffic website.

A blog reader told me that most of my listed CPA companies require the website should have at least 1000 visitors per month, in one of them they even need 10,000!

And this is not supposed to be a problem. Most CPA networks have comments section in the application. You just explain in the comments block that you are going to use Pay-per-click and purchase some banners or text links to send traffic with direct linking.

This should get you into the most CPA networks with no problem.

2. The eBay affiliate program truth
===========================================

A subscriber asked for my opinion of the Build A Niche Store script(not an affiliate link), which create content sites through the eBay affiliate programs.

I haven’t personally tried BANS but I don’t suggest anybody to buy it, because the eBay affiliate program is not as profitable as some other ones like Clickbank, even Adsense. Since eBay is only sharing a small part of their bid revenue, about 4% of the closing value of a winning bid, which is not generous compare to 75% of Clickbank sale and 78% of Adsense revenue share.

In fact, personally I’ve never had a good experience with the eBay’s affiliate program. If you really want to use BANS, you need to get approved by eBay Partner Network firstly. But the weird thing is I never get approved!

When they was handling their affiliate program with CJ (which turned out to be a big fail) and my affiliate application got declined automatically.

And on April 2008 they finally dropped CJ and built their affiliate program in house. I tried to join their eBay Partner Network but no response from them since I submitted my application.

And even worse, they banned hundreds of affiliates this month for reason that the traffic they were sending to eBay was “significantly less engaged”.

And here’s even a Squidoo len by a sacked eBay affiliate:

So for most for you, what you need is to follow a proven working system, not something that could make you money right now. (Remember the biggest money-making obstacle?)

Here are some proven working marketing systems by Marlon Sanders if you’re lack of one:

Promo Dashboard (Promo in 3 simple steps with list building)

Marketing Dashboard (Setting up your own online business like the experts)

Design Dashboard (Create amazing web pages that sell products like crazy)

Affiliate Dashboard (Launch your own affiliate program & getting streams of active affiliates)

Each of Marlon’s “Dashboard” products is a easy to follow system. I do love the 6 row of lovely icons, each icon is a single step for you to take. Easy and fun. I’m sure you’ll love them too.

Always remember you don’t need to chase the latest money-making opportunities all the time. What you need is just a system, a proven working system.

And always let me know what you think by leaving your comment below.

To your amazing success!

Interesting post… I agree with some of what you said.. I was accepted to the eBay Partner Network but haven’t really used them yet… Did they ever tell you why you weren’t approved? I have found other affiliate programs work much better and pay more also… Amazon is another one that never really produces any income despite traffic… very low payout percentages… :sad:

The eBay Affiliate program pays out a bit more than 4%.

Per signup that bids (doesn’t have to win the auction) within 30 days get’s you a nifty $20 (Australian Dollars).

Also you receive 50% of the end selling fees as a commission. Obviously for small ticket items that will be small… but think about the cars,bikes and boats section!

I think the selling fee is around 10% but I’m not too sure. so 50% of that is 5%… if you help to sell a $20,000 Toyota the selling fee equates to $200, 50% of that is $100.

Not bad if you ask me ;)

Niche stores can be great as more than one of your visitors may bid on the same item… ultimately increasing your commission. Or buying a different toyota will net you another nice commission.

Testing and research is the key there.

Hi Nathan,

You are so right that you need to test to see if something works or not.

But in my experience, EPN is just not for most of the people.

And thanks for your kindly reply.

Henry
