Affiliate Marketing Scenario in India

Recently I had applied for top CPA networks and as per their policy they straight away rejected me. I did manage to get accounts with them later by calling and telling them about my experience in this industry. On further discussion over the phone, I was informed by most of the CPA networks that applications from India get rejected AUTOMATICALLY. I felt bad after hearing this because I obviously don't want my countrymen to be treated like this. I have accounts with the Industry top affiliate and advertising networks and they require lot of documents like your photo ID proof, credit card scanned copies etc.

I tried to dig in to this with few of my affiliate managers and I was shocked to know that I am the only Indian in their network. I am not sure if they are lying, but the way they have had trouble paying me direct in to my bank account does show that they have very little or no experience dealing with banks in India. On further investigation, I was told that these networks had suffered lot of losses due to fraud done by Indian affiliates and advertisers. Most common fraud is using fake Credit Cards, generating fake leads etc.

If you are an Indian and would like to really make it big in the make money online business then you need to be serious with what you do. Most of the networks are in contact with each other and getting blacklisted in one of these networks means getting blacklisted in most of them. You might think you are a pro black hatter and guru in coding  but you cannot hide. A single red flag and your account will be banned. This means that you cannot get in to that network ever in your life. As a young person, you might not care a bit about it but this will affect you in future for sure. Even today I get messages in my linkedin network to visit a web page for career guidance and when I reach this page, all I see is a MFA page with no useful information whatsoever. Getting spammed by people in network of people with over 10 years of experience in IT is really spoiling your own reputation in the market. You might get a few pennies with those AdSense clicks but you are really missing the real picture. You will see some amount in your AdSense account but you will never get it. Just a few days before getting paid, your ass will be banned! All those hours you spent on spamming people's inbox will go wasted.

The point here is, whoever you are and wherever you are, you have to be serious when it comes to making money online. The Internet Marketing Industry is not a  place where you can fool around and not get caught. If not today, tomorrow! Your dream to make money online will be ended pretty soon.
