Time flies — my second month is already over. In month one I lost $9 overall; this month I feel like I gained a lot. So I decided to write up the ad funnel I ended up with: partly to lay out a complete ad workflow I can call my own and make my process more systematic, and partly because I'd love for people to point out anything that could be optimized 
Much of that comes from the PropellerAds bonus credit saving me budget
Saved = earned.
What I Did in August
- Traffic: PropellerAds (PopUnder), bidding with CPA Goal
- Offer: FIX CPL — my only main line, campaign "002": two GEOs (open-zone sweep + whitelists)
- Lots of failed experiments, all stopped and closed at a loss: multi-GEO sweeping, new offer tests, different-browser tests, CPM lock tests, OS-version tests...
- Biggest turning point: Aug 21 — new links + dropped the tracker, went direct → first day +52.5% (single-day profit +$33.66, my all-time high), CR went from 0.5–0.8% to 1%+
August Numbers
Item | Amount |
|---|---|
Revenue | $1,331.75 |
Spend | $1,235.47 |
Profit | +$96.28 |
Note: I only actually deposited $1,150 in August (plus $115 in PropellerAds bonus credit).
Out-of-pocket basis: $1,150 in → $1,331.75 revenue = $181.75 profit
