Hopefully, you aren’t doing CPA offers just for the fun of it… .you want to earn MONEY!
That’s the bottom line, but there are a number of different strategies you might use to make money, some of which cost money up front to begin with.

Profits, though, aren’t just net income. To get a true idea about how well an offer might perform for you, you have to take into account the costs to implement it versus the expected profit potential.
Once you deduct the costs of implementation from the gross income you will have the profit potential, but you’ll probably still wonder how to tell just how much net income you might make if you choose to implement the offer.
