That’s so great! We always feel incredibly honored to be recognized by the affiliate community.

And congrats to all the nominees and winners here! Hope we can all keep this up next year

 

[BeMob]

WOW!

We are surprised and honoured to win. Two years in a row we were 2-nd, and this year we finally came to the desired top. We are very proud to share this list with the industry leaders.

Most importantly, we wish to thank every affLift member who voted for us. Thank you for trust. We promise to focus all of our efforts on getting better and meeting your expectations.

Our top winners were Zeydoo, PropellerAds, and BeMob. Were there any members that didn’t vote for any of them? Just curious. I voted for all 3.

I know some people have been upset with your pricing changes and plan modifications, but you’ve been a big supporter of both our community here and the industry in general for a long time. I know hundreds of affiliates that used your tracker specifically because there wasn’t a better option for newbies. So, you will have my support for a long time and I look forward to what 2023 brings to BeMob

facebook the winner #2? 3 follow alongs in the last 3 years on the forum and 9 in total since 2018. same for the other big social platform winners.
I hope Zuck is proud and he'll give us some promo codes.

I voted for all three... but in all fairness I hadn't really tried MaxConv yet.

I like Bemob, but, they need to bump up the events for the free option.

100,000 events seems to go real fast for newbies driving cheap traffic...

MaxConv gives you 150k free every month and they have great support!

Plus, their UI, and documentation seems more newbie friendly to me.

Propeller Ads gave me the $50 bump when I deposited $150, and then when I needed to withdraw $125, and they still left the $50 credit in my account balance.

That was really, really, really cool!

I'll be back!

Zeydoo accepted me as a total-newbie without any hassle...

That was also really, really, really cool!

Plus, they gave me great support.

I'll be back!

The whole point in my opinion to have these bigger ad networks be eligible for votes (it was criticism I had on the first afflift awards) is to remove bias from awards because they were participating in the forums or/and were paid sponsorships.

I voted for none of them (cause I don't use them currently) but still having in the list gives a truer reflection on the affiliate industry.

Exactly that stresses their infrastructure and so increasing it would bring more free loaders that just affect their paying users.

I understand that but who is using them? what can we learn from them? aren't we here for that? facebook and google don't even like affiliates. why are they here?

So why offer a free option if they are not going to give you enough to learn?

I think the problem is with us and the 2 beginner pop guides... the 100k free events are probably enough if we would use them with higher quality traffic.

 

[Scott]

I agree...

Better yet, it would be great know what kind of budget you will need, going in, to be able to buy enough traffic to learn anything, and maybe even break even.

This way you won't have to be a "free loader".

Budget estimates seem to be a sore spot around the forum.

All I can do is give my honest opinion, and try to figure out what I need to know on my own.

This is why I have stepped back from media buying until I have saved up a few thousand to burn on learning.

I don't mind paying my way, I just need to know what kind of budget I need, first.

You don't planning on going to Yale when you can only afford community college.

I think there’s a thread somewhere on the forum (can’t seem to find it right now) where most people agreed you need around $5k or more to have enough cash flow to make it work. Really… it depends on specifically what you’re doing to determine exactly how much you need. And, some people said they needed $20k+ before they “got it”… so “it depends”.

 

[Scott]

where most people agreed you need around $5k or more to have enough cash flow to make it work.

@Luke I would like to suggest for the coming year you revamp the forum for beginners, and outline the clear paths that are available to take, for the different levels of budget, and or skill:

1. Learn SEO and build a website and make affiliate sales that way, that is the cheapest way to make money online, and the profits can go back into your SEO business until you have enough to start realistically learning media buying.

As compared to media buying with a minimum of 5k-20k+ to start and/or succeed.

2. Learn media buying because you have the budget to (at least) give it one fuck of a try.

If someone takes 2k to "get it" then you under sold, and over delivered...

If it takes someone 21k to "get it", at least they knew that going in... that's good!

Everyone here in this forum wants the same thing... financial freedom, and to be able to support themselves from home.

Not everyone can "go back to their day job"...

It's fucking do or die, succeed or starve.

Life is a bitch, and she don't care one way or the other.

I think this would cut down on a lot of confusion and frustration , and with a clear path to follow, more success stories to read.

I have already pretty much come to the conclusion that I will have to take path #1 until I have the cash flow to advance into media buying.

This way I won't have to beg for scraps (free tracker accounts, etc.) like some kind of free loader.

I just wish it didn't take me 3 months to figure that out the hard way.

This not a rant, just a little reality check (for some of us), and some suggestions for possible improvement.

I know we do have members using Facebook and Google but I agree that they are not affiliate friendly and most of us won’t run traffic there. I imagine a lot of the votes they received were from people using them for organic traffic or just from name recognition.

 

[Arif]

I understand that but who is using them?

Lurkers, large affiliate teams, black hatters! They don't need to be vocal about it other than in a award format.

what can we learn from them? aren't we here for that?

Not to sure what you mean but this award was open publicly for everyone to vote, so I don't see how it has anything to do with what we learn here on this forum.

facebook and google don't even like affiliates. why are they here?

That's your opinion, but there are many that would disagree.

These sources are no longer beginner friendly, and it takes a lot of work and nothing is guaranteed with these sources but affiliates do make it work and are rewarded for their efforts.

What you're saying is pure blackhat techniques with these sources, been there 10-12 years ago, i know what it takes... I don't think that's the main reason we are on this forum.. we would all be on blackhatworld only.

 

[Scott]

I for one am glad that people out there are saying fuck you to FB and making money anyway.

FaceBook just like Google and Amazon built their companies on the backs of affiliates, and then just kicked them to the curb once the big brands came in...

Like we don't need to make a living too.

I would do it, if I had the knowledge, and cash flow...

I can barely afford white hat.

Sorry but I didn't say "pure blackhat techniques with these sources".

You asked who uses them and I responded with a different groups of affiliates who uses those sources of which their can be more than what I have listed.
