Plan your BFCM pop and domain redirect campaigns before prices spike: shopper trends, offer picks, tracking setup and the mistakes to avoid.

Failed 6-7 times, now I have $300 left. What would you do in my place?

Hi Guys,
I've been a member here for a while, mostly reading. Now I need some real advice.

I've tried affiliate marketing 6-7 times and lost money every time. I have $300 left for paid traffic, and I don't want to waste it the same way again.

What I tried recently:
  • Vertical: mVAS
  • Network: Golden Goose
  • Traffic: PropellerAds Onclick (Direct Click, CPA Goal)
  • GEOs: Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Bahrain
  • Tested 8 offers, spent about $114, got back about $38

Every campaign lost money. My best one was around -40%. Tracking and postback worked fine, and I matched the carrier targeting. Still, each conversion cost me 2-5x the payout.

Looking back, I think my mistake was testing too many offers with only $10-11 each. No zone ever got enough data.

So my question is simple: if you had only $300, what would you do?

1. Stay with mVAS and put all $300 into one offer and one carrier to build a whitelist?
2. Or switch to something else? If yes, which vertical, traffic source and GEO?
3. How would you split the $300? How much for testing and how much kept aside?

I'm not asking for anyone's secret offer. I just want
