New CPL Content Affiliate — Hello from FreeGifts

[FreeGifts-Eric]

Hi everyone,

I'm Eric, a CPL affiliate marketer building a content and resource site for CPL beginners.

Over the past ~90 days I've:
- Published 39 articles and 9 free resources (checklists, templates, calculators, campaign tracker)
- Applied to multiple CPA/CPL networks — got into some, rejected by a couple
- Set up email capture, Google Analytics, and basic tracking
- Started testing offers with small, tracked batches

I'm here to learn from everyone's experience and contribute where I can — especially around network applications, offer evaluation, and the realistic beginner experience.

Looking forward to being part of the community!

— Eric

Hey Erik good job man. Glad to see you here. Tell me exactly what vertical you work with. And do you work with only one traffic source? Did you manage to get into CPL networks?

Hey farixstar, appreciate the welcome!

To answer your questions:

- Vertical: I'm focused on CPL lead generation — mostly email submits, sweepstakes, and trial offers right now. Staying away from finance and insurance verticals until I have more experience. Better to learn the basics on easier-to-convert offers first.

- Traffic source: Content + SEO mainly. Building a site with practical guides for CPL beginners. No paid traffic yet — I want to understand which offers actually convert before spending money on ads. Organic is slow but the content compounds over time.

- Networks: Got approved at CPAlead, CPAGrip, AdWork Media, and MyLead. MaxBounty was a rejection on the first attempt — they want to see proven results before approving newer affiliates, which is fair. MyLead was the smoothest application experience honestly.

What about you? What verticals and networks are you working with these days?
