What and how CPA model is transforming the influencer marketing market?
The CPA or cost-per-action model is where advertisers do not get paid by advertisers for their popularity but only for their results. It generates nearly 15 percent of the overall digital media revenue in the US, where about 80 percent of the brands use this type of influencer marketing.
The advertisers set an action that they want their audience to perform is the way it works. The audience gets this action promoted by influencers agreeing to the advertisers’ remuneration. Every customer brought by the bloggers gets the said amount, and trackable links track their performance.
In this way, only for the audience that the influencers can convert, they get paid.
Most of the influencers stay away from this model, which suits best for the brands. Because influencers know that if they cannot produce results, they may never get their remuneration at all. From the time of coming to know of this CPA model, there is an increase in brands that stopped working with influencers on the traditional model. As per the Blogging X report, every dollar spent on correct influencer marketing with the CPA model generates 15 dollars.

Since leading influencers are more accessible because of the CPA model, it enables even smaller brands to work with them as they need to pay only for the results rather than their popularity.
