Hello everyone!
My name is Asad, and I’m new to the world of CPA and affiliate marketing. Up until now, I’ve been running an entertainment blog monetized through Adsense, but I haven’t received any payment from it yet. So, I decided to explore CPA marketing because it seems like a field full of opportunities — especially if you find the right audience to target.
About a month ago, I took my first steps into CPA by promoting offers from Adcombo. I chose to go direct linking, sending traffic straight to the sale pages without any landing pages or funnels in between, hoping to keep things simple and get results quickly.
Here are my stats so far:
As you can imagine, I’m a bit frustrated. Nearly 100k clicks and only 3 leads with several canceled sales don’t look great. I’m struggling to understand why my canceled orders are happening and how I can improve to start earning real commissions.
Since I’m a student, my resources are limited, so I can’t afford big campaigns or expensive traffic sources. I’ve been relying on what I can manage, mostly organic or low-budget promotions. That makes every lead even more precious to me.
I’m here to ask for your advice and expertise:
I want to learn and improve as much as possible. I understand that CPA marketing isn’t a get-rich-quick scheme and that it requires testing and tweaking, but I want to avoid burning through clicks and not seeing results.
If anyone has been in my shoes and turned their campaigns around, your insights would mean a lot. Also, I’m open to any recommended resources, guides, or tools that could help me optimize my efforts.
I plan to keep updating this thread with my progress, challenges, and hopefully some wins as I experiment and learn more about what works in this space. Hopefully, it can serve as motivation or a learning resource for others starting out too.
Thanks in advance for taking the time to read this and for any advice you can share. Looking forward to growing and succeeding alongside this amazing community!

Here are my stats so far:
- Over 99,000 clicks driven
- Only 3 confirmed leads
- 4 holds (pending status)
- 14 canceled sales

I’m here to ask for your advice and expertise:
- Why do you think my 14 orders were canceled? Is it due to the traffic quality, the offer itself, or the direct linking method I’m using?
- How can I reduce cancellations and increase approved leads?
- Should I consider creating landing pages or adding pre-qualifying steps before sending visitors to the sale page?
- What kind of traffic or targeting strategies could help me attract better converting visitors?
- Any tips for beginners like me with limited budget and experience to actually go “green” and start profiting in CPA marketing?
