First of all you should know CPA stands for Cost Per Action and it refers to a type of marketing which involves generating leads/Sales for advertisers and in return advertisers give you a small number of payment for each lead or sale you generate.

That`s how exactly it works:

You get a unique link from advertiser and refer other people to advertiser’s website by giving them your link (Generate traffic). Once your referred person sign`s up or buy`s something on advertiser`s website you are paid a small amount of commission for referring that person. (ranging from $1 to 40 or more depends on cpa offer you are promoting)
