Steps by steps on how to make money with CPA
If you do not know what is CPA, you can refer to wiki below:

We highly recommend CPAGrip as this is one of the best CPA network out there, you can easily get accepted and their affiliate managers are very friendly. You can sign up with the link below:
You’re going to need to look for a specific type of CPA offer to make this work. After joining your CPA account, you need to find offers that only require one of these three:
- Phone number submit
- Email submit
- Zip code submit
Instagram Account
You then need to upload at least one or two pictures of you. I would recommend using a girl as your picture. It’ll be much easier to attract people, but you don’t always have to use some attractive girl.
You could try using something like landscape or photos of different gardens and flowers.
The key is to make sure the photo is interesting, and that you also make it personal.
Below is a link to a vault of free images that you could use easily. This should be perfect for you to find a photo that will get people’s attention.

Now, here is the fun part:
You’re going to create an account that is actually niche-specific. So, you’ll be making an Instagram account focusing on a specific niche.
Note: * You should only create one account offering one specific offer. *
For your first Instagram account, I want you to choose an offer that offers something free to your followers. Look for offers like free iPhone giveaways or a chance to win a trip to Hawaii. These always convert well.
Now, you’re going to find that CPA offer, go to tinyurl or bit.ly to get your affiliate link for that offer to be shortened. Take that URL and put it in your bio. Your bio should say something like:
“I love running, Yoga, and electronics. I adore the iPhone 4 I just won two weeks ago! Want to win your own? (CPA affiliate link)
That’s it. Go for as short as possible because you only have 150 characters available.
Going for the dating niche
If you just so happen to find a good and nice offer in the dating niche, then you need to try out going for a provocative but still decent photo, and then begin posting more photos and then with your bio stating:
Bio:
“Single. Free. Bored. I’m on like a thousand dating sites lol. Visit my dating profile: CPA link”
Of course, you don’t have to say it is “your” dating profile. Sometimes. You could try something like, “I’m 28. Single. I’m on this cool dating site: CPA link. See you there”
It’s all about being clever, really. You don’t have to be some genius to make your bio work for you. But this is what you want to do. You want people to “click that link.”
Getting Traffic:
This is the part that can get a bit confusing, tiresome, and may require a bit of time for you to really get used to.
The way I get some fast traffic is I simply type in the niche in a hashtag.
If my CPA offer was about getting something for FREE like a free iPhone or maybe a discount to something, I would simply go to the hashtag search area and type in, “coupons”. And you’ll see there are so many different hashtags for keywords like “couponsswap” or “CouponsShopping” all have thousands of posts.
If you were in the dating niche, you would search as a hashtag, “singles” “dating” ” online dating” and a wide range of hashtags should pop up for you.
What will we be doing next?
You’re going to click on every picture one by one. When you “like” a picture,
they’ll get a notification on it and you’ll probably have them visit your profile back.
That’s the goal here.
All you need is for your visitors to click on the CPA offer, type in the requirements like their phone number, email, or zip code, and you make the cash.
Note: If you don’t know what else to post to your accounts, you can try to actually search for memes on Google on your niche, and that should help make your account legit. Look for photos with inspiring, funny, or basically any type of words.
