Step 14 - Success / Failure Stories

[Luke]

Okay, so you made it all the way through our first guide. Please let us know how it went for you! It's not likely you were overly profitable with your $10 spend, but feel free to post a screenshot of your BeMob stats so we can see how you did!

I think this is a great guide.

Choosing an affiliate network that is newbie friendly, a free tracker with enough events to start and a traffic source with a low deposit.. congrats!

I think PopCash also has a low deposit but not so much traffic as PopAds.

Thanks dood. The reason I went with PopAds is mainly because I've found their traffic converts better than PopCash. I run traffic on PopCash and their support is great. Campaigns are also approved a lot quicker there. However, I want to make sure everyone who goes through this guide will have an opportunity to get conversions and I think that'll be more likely on PopAds than PopCash

Hi Luke,

How do you scale this campaign of yours here? And what is the potential on average for a campaign like to make in a day when it's running at full potential? Also, how long do a good campaign like for roughly? 3 weeks? 6 months? 1 year?

Hi Luke,

This campaign is actually fairly easy to scale. You would want to optimize for the profitable GEOs and WebsiteIDs and then increase your bids to capture as much of the traffic as possible while also being profitable. You can run the smartlink worldwide so there's a ton of potential there.

I am not sure how much you could make a day running at "full potential" because there are a lot of factors involved. We have another member of the forum running a campaign similar to this on PopAds and he's scaling right now ~$50/day and I believe that's with a handful of GEOs.

Assuming the traffic quality is good with the push subscribers you are generating, this could definitely be a long term campaign because every push notification traffic source I know of is looking for high quality subs for their advertisers

@Luke, you've produced a fantastic guide here. Masses of useful information for beginning affiliates, but useful for the more advanced affiliates too. Keep up the good work!

If you feel inclined to do so, maybe you could make the guide a single downloadable PDF? It would make it easier to work through than having to flip from one thread to another on the forum, with the added bonus of having access to it offline. Not a criticism, just a thought.

Thanks for your awesome feedback. Yes, I am planning to release it as a PDF as well (should have that done today or tomorrow)

Interesting. I had a campaign on PopAds approved yesterday in less than an hour. Not much we can do with PopAds but wait. BTW, please post your questions/comments like this in the correct thread related to the guide

So here is my Final BeMob numbers after spending $10 on PopAds:

Offer-wise:

Country-wise:

WebsiteID-wise (showing only those with conversions):

CategoryID-wise (showing only those with conversions)

Summary: Overall this was a really good exercise to learn how to run pop ads and to read data.. that too at cost of just $10.

Now, I am thinking to run mainstream smartlink offers. Any good smartlink network suggestion? Along with pop traffic suggestion.

Feel free to ask questions if you have any.

Thanks
Sarvesh

Nice, it looks like Smart_Push_3 in Turkey has some potential. Might have to try that myself!

Guys, you have no idea how excited I am!! I was profitable by $1.24 in the second round. I am so excited because this is my first time actually making money from marketing from this kind. And I can really scale this! Luke, you are the true legend. I will forever be grateful for you!

This is amazing to hear. Congratulations. So happy to be able to help

Wait, how did you deduce that Push_3 is good for Turkey? I can see that Turkey is doing good but how you figured that Pus_3 would be the one?

Hey Luke,

It is an awesome, comprehensive and valuable guide. In fact, it has resolved all my issues I have been struggling with over the years, particularly tracking and optimizing campaigns.

I hope you will be releasing more such guides with the combinations of different offers and traffic sources.

Thanks a lot, Luke!

Here is the results after 1st optimization. For the first optimization I have only adjusted countries and left with 5 countries in total. I didn't yet drill to much after the second round, but after 1st try I had 19 conversions, after 2nd - 99. Looks promising, will keep optimizing

Thx

Just an assumption since Turkey had the most conversions and Push_Smart_3 had the best conversion rate. You can find this yourself by doing a Drilldown report on Turkey and then viewing the Offers.

Awesome, great to hear! I am definitely going to be doing more of these guides/courses
