It depends on what type of traffic you want to learn. $1,500-$2,000 would be the minimum recommended for some sources like pops, push and redirect, but $3,000-$5,000 for native, FB or other sources.

I'm not a fan of being in stage. Not because of being afraid or anything like that, but it draws too much attention. We'll see.

I have a couple case studies posted at the Affiliatefix Forum and I think another one at STM. The last one is pretty recent (last month) and you can find it here: https://www.affiliatefix.com/threads/push-notifications-journey-on-zeropark-to-10-000-per-month.157580/ Other than that, I haven't...

If a manager doesn't want to provide me with any information like that I just don't work with them. There are plenty more who are willing to work with you. As for your second question, a mix between both is a good thing to have. Bigger campaigns require the same amount of work to maintain and...

Mobile has now more market share than desktop traffic. WhenI decided this like 5 years ago mobile had over 30% market share but nowadays is more than 50%. This will only keep growing while desktop devices will be used less and less. I want to be in the growing side of the industry, not on the...

I don't have a training program. A simple way to get started is to get your tracker, decide on a vertical and a traffic source and forget about the rest to avoid confusion. Luke has many guides here already with videos on how to setup everything including networks he recommends. Stop reading and...

I look for volume (number of conversions) instead of CR/EPC. CR and EPC metrics don't really say much unless you pair them with the volume and traffic source. Some networks never want to talk about volume and they just talk about CR/EPCs misleading affiliates into testing offers that have very...

Thanks but all the people I hire are local and were not looking for more members.

It depends on the traffic source completely. 3-5x maybe enough to test something like FB ads or a source where you can't really optimize much by filtering and segmenting OS, websites, sources, browsers, etc. Native for example considering you buy traffic in thousands of sites as well as pops...

I hired some people who wanted to learn and get a proper salary for their first job. Once trained locally they started working in their home and we just talk via Skype/FB to arrange things.

Not really. At least I don't have any magical tool that helps me make more money or find campaigns that other people can't have.

I have had some a-ha moments, yes, but none of them were like huge errors that changed the campaign revenue by far. Ignoring sources is something you end up doing because you can only focus so much in a source. So far I haven't found any tools that give me "a-ha" moments but overall they're...

If both of them have not only the tools but also the same budget then I'd say: The good one is persistent and makes decisions based on data.. He never stops and learns every day by gathering experience (launching campaigns) until he finds winners. The bad one is lazy, he's scared of losing...

No job and a family to feed? Well, it depends on which country and lifestyle I'd be getting at that point. $5k can be a lot of money in tier 3 countries where you can live with $500 per month, so I might give it a shot there after analyzing my expenses. On the contrary, $5k for a tier1 or...

Hi. I do have a small team but you don't need a team to make money in this business. A team can help you scale for sure as you won't be a bottleneck anymore but this doesn't mean you'll be more profitable right away. My team only helps me with code and design. All the media buys are done by me...

Thanks for the quick interview Luke! I'm willing to answer any related questions here about anything affiliate and personal story related so fire your questions guys!
