I'm new to CPA affiliate marketing. At least new to Pay Per Lead traffic source.
I have this traffic source where I can only pay per conversion. Which I use to grow my own email list.
Now I saw offers on offervault which are paying like $2-3 per lead (SOI - single opt in). Offers like sweepstakes I think would work well.
My idea is that I could use my traffic source, made a campaign where I pay only $1 per conversion and earn $1-2 on affiliate offer/network.
Is this blackhat/illegal?
Or would affiliate network prefer I still send clicks/views and do all that stuff with facebook/google ads that nobody wants to do (optimizing).
This would be like a passive income where you literally do nothing. Just putting more money in ads and earning 50%+ ROI every time.
Why isn't anyone doing that?
