Let’s find out step by step:

Choose a traffic source

There are many different traffic sources. For example, Facebook (Meta), TikTok, Google ads, native ads, push notifications, etc. It’s possible to buy traffic by running ad campaigns on these sources.

Find a vertical

It is necessary to decide what category of goods can be promoted. It is better, to begin with not very complicated verticals. For example, the installation of mobile apps or the sale of physical goods.

Choose an affiliate network

Don’t forget to find information on forums and social networks. Study the company’s website and blog, and read articles. Find feedback from affiliates who are currently working with any CPA network.
