I will be keeping the control offer (original best, it's proven to convert) and leave the offer testing until after I find a better vCTR% creative.

Good idea to stick to your "control offer". Why change if it converts, eh? ;-)
Hope you'll find a new winner ad creative today πŸš€

Update #11 - That's more like it!

Yesterday I got a sale, and since sometimes this campaign feels like it's slow, I now decided that when I get 1 sale, the budget will be increased to $160. This means any time I get a sale, the maximum loss that day would be $80 (0 sales would be $100 loss), whilst gathering as much data as I can. If it gets 2 sales, then increase to $240 etc.

Here's yesterday:


Original winning offer, better creatives. Nice to see profit again, hopefully the same happens today as it clearly works, and I'm ready to scale spend any time if data allows me to do so!
 
Yesterday:


Sales are starting to look more consistent now which is excellent! I would happily breakeven for a while to gather all the sales data.
Looking forward to more days like this, and then hopefully see $300-$500/day profits :love:
 
Update #12 - What's that, is that PROFIT?!!



The future is bright for this campaign now I believe!

There have been ups, downs, mistakes and plenty to learn. But this is the best day so far with Native and it's only going to get better!
Literally everything I have done to reach this stage has been posted here, so if I can do it you can too!

I'll still keep updating this thread for inspiration or if I change anything. I'm considering Mobile vCPM, but I will let this keep running for another week and see where it's at!

Don't forget, if I have helped you in any way or you've enjoyed this FA I'd appreciate it if you could vote for me in the competition! VOTE HERE πŸ₯³

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask!
What was your budget for this campaign... how much were you willing to spend to test?

Congrats on winning the contest! πŸš€
 
Congratulations πŸŽ‰πŸ‘πŸ‘.

Hope someday, I will reach the budget to test native.

I didn't really have one, other projects make profits and I decided to commit to spending $100/day on Native for months and obviously since it's getting better it's increasing :)
Thank you! πŸ₯³

That sort of sounds like a budget of around 3k per month.

You must have been sitting on a nice stack of expendable cash if you were committed to spending like that for months.

I just trying to figure what kind of cash/funding I would need to play like that...

Just trying to learn. :)
 
Yesterday was the first time I tried starting with a budget of $300 and it seemed to perform worse, but still got 3 sales:



Today some new widgets came into play whilst I was offline and hammered my starting budget of the usual $100.
On 1 widget I paid $84 for just 20 clicks! πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ




I have now sorted the bids on those, and changed the "main" bid so that when new widgets come into play they will not have like $4 cpm :ROFLMAO:
That was good in the beginning to do, but not now since I don't stare at the widgets, they hardly change tbh but today they did.

I'm still excited to see what this brings, I think I need to optimize bids to make this profit properly and consistently.
 
Here's the last 7 days, keeping in mind, sometimes there has been hiccups like yesterday that shouldn't of happened :)



Performance over time is definitely getting better, looking forward to the post where I say overall it's breakeven/profit and it's all been worth it! πŸš€

There will always be hiccups. Consistency is key and you're making a ton of progress :)
 
Quick Update
I started mobile campaigns last night and they definitely need time spent on bid optimization.

Desktop has been doing well, here's yesterday for desktop:


New mobile campaigns, some widgets got clicks for $5,$3,$4!!! :LOL:

Mobile iOS yesterday:


Mobile Android yesterday:


The next few days will be fun! I'm curious to see how it goes, and hoping to see some sales from mobile!

Happy to see the consistent green on desktop!
 
I've paused mobile for now, and will continue with desktop. Still perfecting the creatives and bids.

Today I'm gonna start with a $500 budget and see if I get more traffic from the better widgets, since $100 fluctuates a lot it would be nice to see more consistency with more spend.

Fingers crossed! πŸš€
