I try not to mess with CPA's much. Been burned as an advertiser a few years ago on a dance series DVD and never looked back, went to clickbank, launced all my shit digitally, and have since been jawdropping on every thread I read here about another CPA owing affiliates money or ripping advertisers from the inside out running internal offers etc.

So many variables to get scammed by. Recently I threw up ads at ClickBanks logged in dashboard page because my offer is fucking rocking! And of course, I'm getting bombed with networks that want to run my offer.

Truth be told - I would consider it.

However if I do - I'd even love to have it be an open full out case study right here so I don't read about no bullshit fraud or internal fuckery, and have someone here even vet it for me I'll pay good money (as those that approached, are allll here :))

What would you do? The offer is already killing it, I'm trying to get into Walmarts/Targets right now and even going on the HomeShoppingChannel and shit in the near.

Would you fuck with CPA's right now in their current state? Risk your offer to them? If so what would you do to protect yourself and affiliates and keep the shit transparent?

I've always been a fond believer of this, and no CPA will take my challenge: I haz an offer, it converts like mad right now and I know you can see that. Yes? Ok so you do whatever you need, make money, make me money, and don't put me at risk or upfront cost. I'm not taking a penny out of my pocket sorry, you believe in your network you put up the risk - or even HALF.

At this point it just seems like people are wagging their tail at me for another account, I see the value but I also see myself getting fucked 10 ways from Sunday because I don't know this world and not sure if I want to.

Would you do it?
 


If they are coming at you like you are the prettiest girl at the dance, you're in a position to negotiate down the up-front CPA, and get better payment terms. I don't think its realistic to expect no pre-pay in the current CPA environment, but if you have lots of suitors you can hand-pick one to get started with, and play the others off each other to drive the best deal. Then decide if you want to let everyone run it, or make them all be subs under one legit one that gave you the best terms.
