CPA Journey - Making my first CPA buck

Hey guys,

Ryzendrak here. Some of you may recognise me from my failed dropshipping journey. Yep, that's me and I'm back again! However this time, it's CPA. I have done my research on CPA for some time now and I realised something I and CPA go way way back!

Back in 2013, GTA V was released I was around 12 years old at the time and I could not afford to buy a €50 game. Also, I needed my parents to come with me to the game store to buy the game as well (No way that was gonna happen). I had to come up with solutions FAST!, hmmm.... why not search on Youtube? Search: how to get GTA V for free on XBOX 360. Clicked 'Enter' and YouTube did its magic. 100s if not 1000s of YouTube videos claiming to have a website that allows you to download GTA V directly into your XBOX 360. This is where my toxic relationship began with content lockers. I spent weeks on these websites completing who knows how many offers just to find out it was fake. (I was extremely optimistic) and making CPA Marketers passive income .

Fast forward to late 2023 / early 2024, I had been seeing the term CPA Marketing floating around a lot of BHW. Not knowing what it was exactly I decided to do more research and could not believe it, all those offers I had completed for years as a kid were making someone else money!

After what I've been through I think it makes the most sense for me to start my CPA Marketing journey in the gaming niche. Some of you will say it's dead and over-saturated. Regardless this seems like actual fun, possibly reliving my trauma and a right of passage for the next generation. To be fair I'm using gaming hacks as an intro to CPA Marketing since it makes the most sense to me and probably won't spend too long on this niche unless there are many dumb f*cks out there like me back in my days.

I'm currently learning Javascript HTML/CSS, for personal reasons so this will even motivate me more to continue with my learning.

The plan:

As I said I will be starting in the gaming niche. I'll be using the OGAds network. I have a GPAGrip account but from my first impressions of it, it seems a bit crap so I'll only use it once I have really figured out the CPA Marketing.

I will be testing custom-built landing pages as well as templates (Would probably focus on templates with some minor modifications rather than building from scratch, until I'm relatively good at HTML/CSS and overall web design)

Next, I will promote this landing page on social media platforms i.e. TikTok, YouTube and Instagram. (I'm keeping this vague as I'm not entirely sure what exactly to do here, might even consider looking into paid ads)

The Goal:

Honestly, the goal is a humble one that might disappoint some of you but I just want to hit $25. $25 is worth nothing to me but this will give me the proof of concept. Once I reach $25, that's when I will create a new journey with a much higher figure.

So yeah, wish me luck.

Experienced CPA Marketers If you could give any advice at all that would be highly appreciated.

Note: I will not be updating this journey on a frequent basis unless I have any actual informative updates that are worth sharing. If you want to start something start now don't wait for someone to show their results before you start. Also, I just don't see the point in posting an update that's not an actual update if you know what I mean?

That was Impressive. Best of Luck on your journey

This is a great read, Wishing you all the best in your journey

Wishing you the best in with journey

Would suggest Typescript and Tailwind. Typescript will give you some of that sweet IntelliSense and tailwind is a much more convenient way to write CSS.

I don't think you should bother with SPAs or all kinds of SSR, CSR and page streaming. Absolutely unnecessary if the only thing you seek are landing pages.

If you need modern standard compliant APIs, hit me up. We may work something out.

unless there are many dumb f*cks out there

Supply of them has never ran short, I'd say it's more a matter of how to target and approach them.

25$ seems like quite the modest contrast in comparison to the usual 10k $/mo you see around here, but best of luck on your journey regardless, baby steps is the way to go!

Have you considered and looked into other gaming-related affiliates? Such as game-key marketplaces, game subscription services, hardware, etc? But it just might be my bias towards mobile apps and games

A great read for me! Good luck Mate!

Thank you! I was one of those people lol, but my first journey really humbled me so I'm starting really small just to get that confidence . Honestly anything under the game niche, whether it's game hack, coin boosters, key generator, free console e.t.c I'll utilise it all.

Following your journey

Update:

Okay so over the past few weeks, I have been really busy with my actual job. It's going to get worse as there's a promotion coming up soon which will take up more time from me , nevertheless, I did manage to get some CPA stuff done anyway.

In terms of what I did/done over the past few weeks: I have decided to go for something slightly different than game hack after doing lot's of research and coming up with an idea when I woke up a few weeks ago I honestly do not know if this idea of mine would work but something tells me it will .

I built my landing page from scratch with the help of ChatGPT specifically for the PHP code, (Never used PHP) so when things were not working as expected, it was sure a fricking nightmare. What I'm doing is legit so I had to build an SQL database which will get data from an HTML form I created in the landing page (This was the nightmare).

After setting up the landing page, it was time to promote, created a pretty crappy video using CapCut. The video explains what I'm offering and where to go if the viewer is interested. I posted the video on Youtube and Tiktok (This was last night). Woke up this morning and OMG!! I could not BELIEVE IT!!!! Bazingaaa!!! I got 2 views on TikTok and 32 views on Youtube Shorts (most of which were probably from me ), Pretty disappointed but gotta keep going.

Overall I think the landing page looks good, my younger brother said quote "It Kinda looks legit".... I'll take that. Need to work on my video editing skills and do some research on promoting as well.

Today I checked OGAds and I got my first-ever conversion. Yay, I made 0.04 cents





At least that's proof that CPA works/isn't dead. Now I need to find a way to get more traffic to my website.

Things I need to do next:

- Exploring paid traffic
- Continue to post videos and make improvements to them
- Get into that Tiktok simcard mumbo jumbo

And that's all for now. nothing impressive, just want to show you guys I haven't given up.

Well well well.

That's embarrassing, no updates since February. and I'll be honest with you I haven't done anything significant so far as well. (Well I have kind of but I gave up too quickly for a good reason)

Most of the methods I was following were either just not worth it or just absolute crap, and deep down I honestly couldn't see any reason to proceed as I couldn't see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Here's the thing, I get overwhelmed easily leading to procrastination. Since last year I have been in such a rush to make money online as soon as possible because I wanna be a rich young boy and this has led to so much unnecessary stress, anxiety, depression e.t.c

Everyone is different but I do not work well under stress, (Fake stress) inducing unnecessary stress upon myself. I always thought this was the way to progress fast in anything and sure it could work but I honestly don't think it's the right approach. I believe in taking a step back, taking a deep breath, realising that it's not the end of the world and proceeding with your decisions. That is key to making real progress whilst not giving up. Some people like to say act like a robot and I believe this is what they are referring to, I don't think they are referring to actually behaving as an emotionless robot that's constantly working but saying do not get emotionally attached to things you are working on so easily and keep going no matter what. if you need to take a break (Take it)

I honestly think the mindset shift occurred when I tried cannabis for the first time two months ago. I'm less stressed, anxious, irritated and worried about life ever since. Now please don't use this as an excuse to become a pothead. Take it at your own risk, my GF ensured that I did not become addicted lol.

I could honestly yap forever..

But I'm back, this time with a new mindset that I believe will allow me to succeed in my journey. I have come up with a strategy that's fairly basic but requires a decent amount of manual work, nothing extreme tho nor special. I have outlined everything I need to do as well as created tasks on an Excel spreadsheet to track my progress.

Hoping to get everything done by this week and start earning the following weeks. I think I'll probably be updating this journey on a daily basis if not then by the end of the week where slightly more details will be revealed however I'm not releasing this strategy. This thread is just to show you that I will God willing earn money from CPA.

So yea, this thread is Live again.

Believe me when I say game hacks on Youtube are alive and well! Good luck!

Good Luck Op, Learn from Bhw as much as you can I'm learning from old threads mostly daily and trying to put a journey about Facebook as a beginner with CPA marketing, Again I Wish you good luck, and if you are determined nothing can stop you just take action !!

Either shit or get off the pot

CPA is on wishlist of most BHW members. This journey will help all of them .

Good luck. Try to target TR1 traffic. Then with fewer traffic you will get more $

Wish you good luck

Good luck never loose hope.

I think I will like to follow your thread. We are similar in terms of work environment. I achieve more when my brain senses no stress. Keep going!!!

Why did your parents not come with you to buy the game? They were against online games?
