By the end of this article you will be having a clear understanding of how CPA affiliate marketing works and if you follow and implement the exact steps I will be sharing with you shortly, you will be able to make your first dollar online in less than 24hrs without investing any money.

All I ask from you is to pay close attention and do away with anything that can distract you,

A lot of people struggle and don’t make any money online because they have a short attention span,

They jump into any make money online opportunity they come across and they hardly spend an hour or two on it to understand how it works. When they didn’t make any money from it, they will start calling it a scam. You won’t make a dime if you’re doing this

If you want to make your first dollar online, pay close attention, then read and implement everything I will be sharing with you below step by step

That be said, let’s get started

Firstly, let me explain what CPA marketing is and how we can earn money from it;

CPA marketing also known as Cost Per Action marketing is a type of affiliate marketing model where an advertiser only pays you when a specific action takes place through your unique link,

That action could be a purchase, filling a sign up form, completing a survey, newsletter sign up, or anything else depending on the choice of the advertiser.

There are three people involved in this form of marketing,

  • The advertiser that want to promote his offer to the public
  • The publisher or affiliate. This is you, the person that will be promoting the advertiser’s offer and you will get paid whenever someone completes a specific action with your link
  • The CPA network. This is a platform where the advertiser meets with the affiliate or publisher to help him promote his offer and get paid a specific amount. This could be a group of people that come together to create a network that allow advertisers to post their offers giving chance to affiliates to easily find and promote their offers for a commission.

We will be signing up to a CPA network as publishers so that we can promote offers for a commission.

I will be walking you through a four step process to help you start making your first dollar online using CPA marketing

Step #1: Signing up with a CPA network

Step #2: Getting your affiliate links

Step #3: Making money promoting your affiliate links

Step #4: Receiving your money

These are the four steps I will be walking you through to make your first dollar online in the next 24hrs,

If you want to get the most out of this post then I will recommend that you implement what you’re learning as you read along 😉,

So let’s get started with the first step

Step #1: Signing up With a CPA Network

Before we can make any money with CPA marketing, we have to sign up with a network that will give us access to CPA offers to promote

The CPA network we will be using is called CPAgrip, simply CLICK HERE and you will be redirected to the sign up page. It should look like what you see in the image below 👇

I already have an account but I will show you how to sign up step by step

When you land on the sign up page just like in the image above if you’re using computer 🖥, if you’re using a smartphone the structure might differs but the sign up form is still the same thing.

You can then start filling the information required. Make sure you put in your correct details to avoid being banned,

Fill out your first and last name, company name, your website, address etc

In the company field, you can just put your name as your company name or anything else since you might not have a company and you can just go on Google to copy any website domain and paste it as your website link. If you already have a website then that’s fine, you can put yours there. It doesn’t matter which domain you use, just make sure that someone has not use it before and don’t use a domain that will expire soon,

Fill out your street address, country, city, state and zip/postal code. If you don’t know your zip/postal code, you can simply go to Google and search for something like “California zip code”, or “Los Angeles postal code”

Search for your “location + zip code” and you will see bunch of zip codes for your location, pick one of them and use it in the sign up form,

You will now enter your phone number with country code and enter your Skype ID. If you don’t have a Skype account you can easily sign up under few minutes, simply go to skype.com and fill out your information

To access your Skype ID, go to your dashboard and click on your name at the top right corner of your screen and click on my account

Scroll down and you will see a link that says “Edit profile”

Click on it and it will take you to a page just like the image below,

Copy the code that says “Skype Name” and paste it as your Skype ID

After that, choose “Web/Content Lock” as the publisher type,

Put in your email address, put in a password that you can remember and choose your time zone. You can always search on Google if you don’t know your time zone

Now you have successfully fill out your information, you can then click on the captcha verification, read and accept their terms and conditions and hit the register button

“Where did you hear about us” you can just put blog post there or anything else (YouTube, friends and family, etc)

That’s what you should see when you click on the register button 👆. What’s left is to get your email address verified, go to your Gmail app if you’re using Gmail and you will receive a mail with the verification link, click on the link and your email will be verified

The next thing to do is to go to cpagrip.com and login to your account. When you’re on your dashboard, click on “Account settings” on your Menu list to complete setting up your account,

When you’re on the account settings page, head over to the Tax documents section,

If you’re from the USA, click on the W-9(USA) and if you’re not from the USA, click on the W-8(INTERNATIONAL) to provide the required information,

If you click on the W-9(USA), it will look like something below and you have to enter the necessary details required; Type of entity, Exempt payee code (optional), SSN or EIN, then your signature and click on update

If you click on the W-8(INTERNATIONAL) also, you just have to enter the necessary details required; Taxpayer identification number (optional), Foreign tax identifying number (optional) and your date of the birth in the format (MM-DD-YYYY)

In the Part II (№9) of the W-8, I know you might be wondering what to enter there, just put the same details as you see in the screenshot below

Put in your signature and click on the update button

We’re done with that section. Now we can head over to the “Payment center” and update our payment details,

When you’re on the page, select your preferred payment method and enter your correct details; you can either use payoneer (via your payoneer card or wire transfer) to receive your money or you can use PayPal. If you’re from the USA, you have another option to receive your money directly to your bank account,

After you enter your correct details, click on the save button and you’re all set.

It’s time to start earning from your cpagrip account

In step #2, I will explain how to get your offer links to start promoting

Before I get into step #2, I want to be sure if you’re you’re learning and implementing at the same time;

So if you have not sign up on cpagrip by now then I’ll suggest that you CLICK HERE and sign up now because I’m about to start showing you where the money is made very soon and if you didn’t sign up now you might forget and skip a step later

Are you done setting up your account?

Yes! Let’s get into step 2

Step #2: Getting Your Offer Links

So the first thing I will like to address here is that there are 2 ways of getting an affiliate link here;

One is by content locking and second is by using the offer section

When using the content locking, it means that you have to find something that people are willing to die for and lock it in your content locker,

A shareable link will be provided to you and when people try to access that thing, they will have to complete an offer before they can have access to it. And when they complete the offer, you will get paid an amount depending on the country of the person that complete the offer.

When using the offer section, you just have to find an offer that a specific group of people will be interested in and get a shareable link to share with them. When they complete the offer, you get paid some cash. As simple as that

Now let’s breakdown the two methods one after another…

Content Locking: Here, you have to find a specific group of people who are interested in having particular desire and find something to give them that can fill their desire,

This could be a pdf guide, video guide, or any kind of digital material. I like using a pdf guide because it is easy to source and share

Now I know you might be asking, where can I find the pdf guide?

It’s easy, you can just go to Google and search for free plr books download and you will see lot of websites offering free eBooks in different niches but the one I like using the most is freeplrdownloads.com

You will find free pdf guides to download and share in different niches/categories (relationship, health and wealth).

You can get a guide on how to lose weight to share with people that are overweight,

A guide on how to get your ex back,

A guide on how to make money online,

A guide on how to stop bad habit,

A guide on how to stay healthy while smoking,

Or you can even find something that is trending and people want to have it. May be the latest film on Netflix, the most trending game, hacked apps and courses, etc

Whatever you decided to share, download it into your device and upload it to your Google drive, Dropbox, your website or any other platform that will allow you to share it with people,

Get a link to the guide you upload on the platform. When using Google drive make sure you set the share option to allow anyone with the link to have access to it. Get your link and store it on your notepad

You will now login to your cpagrip account and go to the menu list that says “Monetization Tools” and click on “Url/File lockers”

When you’re on the page, click on the “create new url/file locker” button, read and accept their terms and conditions,

It will open a page like the one below👇

Let me explain each field using the number listing

  1. Designing of your offer page; this allows you to create an attractive offer page for your audience so that when they land on the page, they will be eager to complete the offer and get their guide. But that’s not necessary now, we will talk about that later on

2. This is where you will be able to edit the text to be shown on your offer page. As you’re editing the text, you should see the preview of it on the right side if you’re using a computer

3. Locked URL: this is where you will paste the link to the free guide you want your audience to get. Copy it from your notepad and paste it there. If you haven’t store the link on your notepad before, go and copy it from the platform you uploaded the free guide and paste it in the Locked URL box

Show offers: the number of offers you want cpagrip to show to your audience

Font Face: font selection for the write up in your offer page

Offer size: the size of each offer box

Access time: How long should a user be allowed access to the website after completing an offer

Anchor Text: the text under the begin download button

4. This is the preview of how your offer page will look like to your audience when they click on your link. Any change you made will appear there

Whatever changes you made to the general, Style, HTML, Advanced, and Templates section, a preview of it will appear in the offer page

After you have finish editing your offer and have paste your free guide link, then click on the “create” button

You will see a new row formed indicating that your file locker has being created. You can then click on “GET LINKS” to copy your money link and it’s ready to be shared with your audience

That’s how to get your shareable link using content locking

Offer section: Here, you don’t have to get something to give your audience as the offers are some kind of gifts for them,

It could be a gift card, electronic, or other sort of gift 🎁. You just have to choose one and promote it to an audience that will be interested in it.

How to get your offer link?

Go to “offer tools” on your Menu list on cpagrip, click on my offers and you will see a bunch of offers available in your country.

You can filter the result to see offers available in different countries and in different categories

Some countries might not have offers available sometime but you’re always allowed to promote offers from other countries,

Go through the available offers and see which one might interest people the most, make sure you check the country of the offer and the type of device required to complete the offer.

Simply click on the offer and copy your sharing link.

This is how the offer page looks like 👇

  1. The country an offer is only available for

2. Type of device needed to complete an offer (desktop/mobile)

3. Categories of offer (email signup, survey, downloads, mobile install, pin submit, CPC, credit card submit, etc)

4. The time an offer was created

5. Amount you get paid when someone completes an offer with your link

By now, I assumed that you have gotten your link and you’re ready to start monetizing it.

In the next step, I will share with you how to get people to complete your offers and make your first dollar online ASAP

Step #3: Making Money Promoting Your Offer Links

This is the most important part of this article, this is where you will be making your first dollar online. Pay attention to my words here,

There many ways people promote their links and the most common way is through social media like Facebook, twitter, Instagram, etc

But let me give you a quick tip, since you’re just starting out and you want to make your first dollar online with CPA marketing, then do this;

Go to the offer page and find offers available in your country, copy the links of like 10–20 offers that will pay higher amount,

Simply copy the links and share it with your mum through WhatsApp or any social media, you will now go and carry her phone and complete those offers yourself. Make sure you complete the offers correctly

By the time you will finish completing the last offer, if you check your, cpagrip account you will see all the earnings of the offers you completed on your dashboard section that says “Today’s Revenue”. If they haven’t appear yet, maybe you should give it a little hour it will show up

That’s how to make your first dollar online and if there are no offers available in your country by the time you’re reading this, then I’m sorry that you have to use the social media method and other methods I will be sharing with you later on

So after you have successfully completed the tasks with your mum’s phone and your earnings have appeared on your dashboard,

You can then share the links again with your dad, siblings, friends, and other family members. You can either ask them to complete it for you or you can borrow their phones and complete it yourself. Let do some math here,

Let’s assume that you shared 10 offer links with just 5 of your friends and family, each of them completed the 10 offers for you

That will be 10 x 5 = 50

Let’s say cpagrip will pay you averagely $1 for each offer completed, that means you will be earning $50 from just 5 people 💰🤑

Imagine getting $50 under 24hrs without much stress. If you can do this everyday for the next 30 days it means that you be earning nothing less than $1500 every single month

You can also get new offers to share again with the same people that have completed your old offers before

You can also use the content locking section to make people more interested in completing your offers,

Find something they will be interested in and you will be like;

“Hey dude, if you can complete a simple survey for me I will give you this [your free guide]”

People will most likely do it if you have something they want.

Mind you this method is somehow black hat, you just have to be careful so that you will not get banned

If there are no offers available in your country then you might have to use the social media method below;

This method is more effective with content locking offers because most people are strangers and they will not be willing to do something for you if you don’t have anything to give them. Or you should find a good offer that people will get something sweet if they complete it

Twitter method: Go to free plr download website and find a guide on how to make money online, lock it in your content locker and get your shareable link,

Use a URL shortener like bit.ly to shorten and hide your link,

Create a new Twitter account because you can easily get your account banned,

Go to the search bar, type in “I need money” and click on the search button, click on the “latest” result. What that means is that twitter will show you all the people that tweeted I need money in the most recent time, and you know that those people really need money and if you reply them with your link telling them you have a way of showing them how to make money, they will definitely love to hear you out. You can say something like;

“Hey Johnson,

I found this eBook I read and it help me made my first $1000 online, click here to get it for free today [add your link]”

Write something interesting that will trigger them to click on your link

Facebook groups: here you will find a guide in a particular niche and lock it on cpagrip. Maybe a guide on how to lose weight; you will now go to Facebook and join groups related to weight loss that has many engaging members,

Start posting valuable contents related to weight loss everyday so that people in the groups will start to know and trust you

Engage well with them until they start engaging with your contents too, then you can now start recommending your free guide to them dropping your link along your posts in the groups.

Or you can check the group profile and find the new members, send them friend request, become their friends then you can share your links with them

Make sure you’re not targeting the country that offers are not available in (like Nigeria, Jamaica, Palestine, etc)

Sadly, the problem with Facebook is that they don’t allow you to post CPA links, so in other to use Facebook you have to create a landing page where you will be able to redirect your visitors to your offer page

You can build a free landing page with builderall software or create a free blog post on blogspot to redirect your visitors

You can watch some YouTube videos for tutorial

Quora platform: you can go on Quora and you will find people asking a lot of questions in different niches, select a niche and find a free eBook to share with them,

Start answering many questions and at the end you can attach your link to the free guide, when they want to access it, they will have to complete an offer and you will be making money from that

When answering questions on Quora, be sure to write long answers along your link if not Quora will just delete your answer

The advantage of Quora over other platforms is that, Quora will expose your answers to as many people as possible who are looking for answers to such questions. And if you write a long answer that is longer than other people’s own, Quora will put your answer to be ranking number one for that question,

When people click on the question, they will first see your answer which gives you higher chance of getting your link clicked

Comments on blog posts: you can set up Google Alert for a particular keyword and Google will notify you whenever someone drop a new post on that keyword,

But firstly, you have to find an offer related to that keyword that people will love to get

You can then visit the post and go to the comment section and post your link with sweet words to convince people to click on it and make sure you have something valuable to give them

Create a landing page to make the offer sound more professional

How to set up Google alert? simply go to http://google.com/alerts and set up one

There many other ways to promote your CPA links both free and paid, but I can’t explain all of them in a single article,

So at the end of this article I will be leaving a link to over 10 videos that will show you how to promote your CPA links and make thousands of dollars every month. I will also show you how to create professional landing pages

Now let’s move on to the last step

Step #4: Receiving Your Money

Now you have earn your first dollar online and you want to withdraw your money, you have four different options on how to withdraw your money 💰; using Payoneer Mastercard, Payoneer bank transfer, PayPal, or direct bank transfer (for USA banks only)

I prefer using PayPal because it’s faster and reliable. It only takes few minutes to sign up with PayPal and you can send your money directly to your bank account using your debit card, if PayPal is not available in your country yet you can sign up with Payoneer and use it to receive your money and you can also send your money from Payoneer to your local bank account

The payment system on cpagrip is Net30, which means that you’ll be paid after every 30 days. The minimum payment is $50 and with the method I share with you in the first place I think you should have reach the minimum payment by now, you just have to wait for 30 days to request your payment

Something interesting about cpagrip is that when you reach a certain level of earning with your account, you can change your payment system to Net15 (you receive payments after every 15 days) and even Net7 (you receive payments after every 7 days) as you become a very active earner

Here is a payment receipt I got from CPAGrip

So here is the end of this article. You can save the link to this article and refer back to it whenever you need it.

And before I forget, here is the link to the 10+ videos on how to promote your CPA links and start making thousands of dollars every month. CLICK HERE TO ACCESS IT

But you have to complete a Survey because I’ve locked it up in my content locker. If there are no offers available in your country, then I’m sorry 😐 you just have to go on YouTube and search for how to promote your links. There many videos on that
