So initially I wasn't going to write this as a lot of affiliates are doing this in a week or even in a day, but after telling a few people about this only being my second month, apparently its pretty impressive.
To clear a few things up, $5771 in revenue, I spent just over 2500 on the campaign so profit is only around the $3200 mark, but this is still more than I was earning full time at my last job, and I get to do it during my work hours (as I work for the company who owns the platform I am using).
So as I've never had any experience in the industry before, I've only used Monetizer, this way I don't have to create any landing pages, or do any of the hard stuff, I don't even have to pay for a tracker, so expenses are kept low, this of course in turn creates greater profit.
Firstly I used the advice of a friend who has been in the business a while, making very good money, he told me to go global, create a campaign targeting every single GEO, every single carrier, and lose a lot of money. Of course this sounded crazy, he wants me to lose money? But I'm here to make money, so why would I want to lose it? In his words "you never lose money, you simply buy data". So I'm going global, my next question was, how do I know which vertical is going to work best for every GEO in the world? This is the beauty of the Monetizer platform. Yes I admit I am biased in the fact that I work for the company, but we have a system called "vAuto" which rotates verticals and puts only the highest converting verticals in front of the end customer, I'd been running campaigns previously based on information I'd seen on youtube or read in blogs, so of course I'd been picking verticals very carefully, and making nothing. So I went global with vAuto, and lost $500 in the course of 2 days, but this was my plan, I then stopped running GEOs that were making me a significant loss, and took the highest earning GEOs by EPC and built another campaign, and still lost money. But after a couple of days of optimising I started to break even and even make a small profit, and when I had a small profit I optimised even more and then upped my bid, and started losing money again. I felt a little defeated as I'd just made back what I had lost and then started losing again, but my friend convinced me to keep going and start blacklisting sources, which I did, I also created a whitelist, which after a little optimisation became hugely profitable, at this point I stopped running my global campaign and focused on the other campaigns I had been able to set up thanks to the global campaign, all making profit day after day, by the end of the August I had spent $2500 and make over $5700, and this continued throughout most of September until a couple of offers died out and sources dried up, but there are still a few campaigns running constantly in profit with very minimal optimisation, and with a new month starting tomorrow I will be starting my second global campaign using the profits from my first to scale it up much more than my original budget would have allowed me, wish me luck!
