Ok, real quick breakdown. CPA mean "Cost Per Action" meaning you get paid in the person who clicks your link actually buys whatever it is you're promoting.
Here is how I ran a couple of my CPA offers.
I signed up for websites like Clickbank.com or CJ.com (each serve a purpose to different style CPA offers)
Lets use clickbank for this example. I searched clickbank for their offers on sporting tickets. I found one that cost the user $60 to become a "ticket broker". I get a cut of $40 from every $60 sign up. I then went to Craigslist and created a simple post titled with something like "LA Dodger Tickets. Section 7, Row 2, Seats 7 & 8". Within the post state something cheesy like "I have 2 tickets together for this game. Unfortunately I had an emergency come up and need to get rid of these tickets. Face Value for both tickets are $200 but I'll take $180 for both. First come, first serve. I wont leave my phone number on here due to high amounts of spam so if interested then email at
blahblah@gmail.com"
Then I go to that email and set up an autoresponder. So my autoresponder will say something like "Dang, I literally just sold the tockets like 5 minutes ago but i got these tickets for cheap and they allow you to buy as many as you like and resale them if you like. I myself love to attend the games so I just buy the tickets so I can go to the games. As a favor to you since my tickets just sold you can try getting some on your own from the place i got mine. Please don't share this with anyone. Here is where I got my tickets (i insert my clickbank affiliate link).
So now when someone emails me about the tickets, my email will automatically send them that response and just sit back and wait for people to sign up. I only messed with big games and I did multiple sporting teams in muyltiple cities.
You just have to be creative with it. Ive done it for airline tickets, golf lessons, etc.
Another one that got me over 100+ email replies was when I made a post called "MOVERS NEEDED ASAP!" For that one I sent them to one of my links for a home based business. I figured if you're willing to help someone move then you probably need cash.
These offers are all legit so you're able to sleep at night cause you're not truly getting over on anyone, people are getting what they paid for.
