How to Make Money Online With CPALead

Nowadays, I see a lot of webmasters talk only about Google Adsense and not about any other way to make money from their website. It is almost as if Google Adsense is the only way to make the most out of a website, but in truth, it isn’t always true. CPALead introduces a new aspect to making money from your website. It uses a certain “gateway” to stop viewers from viewing a website’s content unless the visitors fill out a certain offer. Now, you may ask your self why would you do that? Well simply because for every offer the visitor fills, you make money. Well, this generally isn’t always the best method to monetize a website, but for entertainment, ebook, video type blogs, this may actually be a great way to use CPALead to increase your overall earnings. Remember, not all methods of monetization is fit for your type of website. That is why, it is important to do research and read reviews before trying a new method of monetizing.

What is CPALead

CPALead is a CPA company (Cost per Action) that rewards publishers (webmasters) commission for every lead they forward to CPALead’s army of advertisers. If you are into Internet Marketing, CPA companies are nothing new. However with CPALead, there is a twist. You use “gateways” on videos or certain pages to prevent viewers from accessing the pages unless they complete a desired action. This sets a new playing field in CPA alone and in Internet Marketing for marketers.

Here is what a CPALead gateway looks like (click to enlarge):

Some Common Uses for CPALead

Generally, CPALead is best for websites that have “premium content” meaning pages that are worthy of a visitors time to fill out a simple offer to access the pages. Examples of premium content as like I said are video, files, ebook, as well as entertainment type blogs. Generally, these type of blogs profit the most from CPALead. Some CPA companies target only a certain categorical market, but in this case for CPALead, profits lie more towards the entertainment type stuff.

How CPALead Works

There are 4 ways you can make money with CPALead. I will mention which are the most popularly used and why.

1. Surveys – Surveys are generally the most commonly used in CPALead to gather commission simply because it doesn’t require the visitor to spend any money to access a page, while still making you the owner money. Pay rate is generally $0.35 – $3 per free survey completed.
2. Purchases – Users have to simply use money out of their pockets to access a page. Not a very wise decision if only to lets say watch a video. Purchase offers however, can be used effectively with other techniques.
3. Trials – Viewers must complete a trial offer in order to access the desired page. Generally pay rate for this type of stuff is lucrative, but hard to come by because most of the times, the offers sound fishy.
4. Mobile – Users must insert their mobile phone to access the gateway. This can generally come around $3-$10 per person.

How to Set Up a Gateway

Once you are accepted into CPALead’s network, to setup a gateway is your next step. Follow the instructions accordingly and you should easily be able to set up your gateway in 3 minutes flat.

1. Login into your CPALead account.
2. Click on the tab named ‘Widget.’
3. On the sidebar, click ‘Create New Widget.’
4. Click what type of content you want your offers to be related to (eBooks, Digital Images, File Downloads, Music, Video, Virtual Currency).
5. Now once you click your setting, you should be brought to a page with a little widget in the middle that says “Downloadable …” or “Webpage with …” (click the desired setting).
6. Now from here, should be straight forward when designing your widget.
7. After you have finished designing your widget, your next step is to place it on your blog. Copy the generated Javascript code that you should have gotten when you finished designing your widget and then login to your website.
8. Find the page or the video file you want to add the gateway to and paste in the Javascript code & you are done.

If you are using WordPress, and find this method too complicated, you can download the official WordPress CPALead plugin where you can just copy and paste your Javascript code into and thats it. Setting up a gateway with CPALead couldn’t be easier.
