ROI vs. Reality​

You probably came across the “perfect” content, where there is no room for mistakes - you just do a simple task, and wait for your money to come to you. ‘Just launch the advertisement, launch the campaign, and wait for delicious margins of ROI — 100%, 200%, even 300%.’ This promise seems intriguing, and the majority of website use it to attract their users. Unfortunately, the reality is far from perfect. For a lot of sources, 50% ROI seems like a dream come true.

Let’s talk about ‘Dead sources’ conversions​

Though there may be a lot of reasons why “dead” sources are not converting as successfully as we’d want them to, there are a few basic origins:

• Banner blindness. Simply put, a one-size-fits-all advertisement that bores the audience to death, meaning they have no initiative to interact with it.
• Strict moderation. It’s taking a lot of your time, which could be used for your other projects. The majority of time is spent on getting approved by the moderator than the actual advertising itself.
• High competition. You have to face many challenges in order to obtain the leads. Competitors may have been working for a long time with a particular source, followed the trends, and are already very familiar with mechanisms to achieve the commission; so it would be very hard for you to gain the users’ trust and interest.
• The development of ad-blocking services. They can be in the browser, third-party software, applications, and plugins. Unfortunately, it will do you, as an affiliate, more harm, than good.
