I have been around this forum for quite a long time. I have started my CPA journey last year and did maintained a journal, and had posted two case study which is case study 1 & Case study 2. I have worked on many verticals like adult, dating, bingo, gaming but never tried diet. As I always thought diet is more competitive and very hard to convert as maximum of the offers are focused on pay per sale. So, i never thought of getting involved in such a high competitive niche unless I figured that one of my best long term term campaign is dying out and getting saturated. That made me very desperate to create more profitable campaigns and to restore my earnings. As i always said on my journal, i like to stick to one vertical to master it completely but i don't pin point myself to just one vertical.
So i went ahead to offervault, search for good offers and also checked all my CPA networks offers and their EPC. I finally found some great offers on diet niche with very nice EPC. So, I finally told myself if they can do it then i can do it too and startted being optimistic about it. I had around some $150 left on my 50onred account, so i thought why not give it a try as my money is sitting idle and is of no use. I do kept the important thing in my mind that diet offers are generally pay per sale.. so it would be tough to get a sale and conversion ratio would be very low but payout will be high.
After finally convincing myself, I went ahead and picked up similar offers from multiple CPA networks. Did spent a hell lot of time to study the demographics of my niche and to understand what they want exactly. Finally I was able to figure out their needs and what they want exactly, so i started creating various landing pages based on their requirements. I did made up modification on my landing pages based on the requirements of my users while conducting my research.
So after everything is done, I went ahead and started collecting my URL and keywords in a traditional way from google and alexa. I have gathered hell lot of keywords and urls but i sticked with the best one with higher traffic. I kicked out very generic keyword(just one word keyword) and common url like amazon as i know they will burn out my budget in a matter of few hours. So i started my first campaign on 50onred with 2 landers and 4 offers from 3 different networks. I wont say that i was profitable right of the bat but was on negative ROI after my initial run. Please check below the stats:-
Landing Page performance Stats on 50onRED
Offers Performance on 50onred
Final Conclusion on 50onred :- The keywords and urls are really very expensive. Actually 50onred is very expensive.
Total Cost:- $57.58
Total Income:- $41.00
Total Loss/Profit= - 16.58
ROI= -28.79%
The Transformation:-
My initial run was a failure with -28.79% ROI and the bid was so high that i was barely getting any traffic after few days. So its almost like i gave up on this campaign because getting a sale is really tough and its one of the most competitive niche. But again, i thought why not give it another try on a different traffic source. So i went ahead with same landers, keywords and urls to lead impact and set the campaign.. After setting the campaign i have found that the bids are very very low as compared to 50onred bids and started getting optimistic.So i ran the offer for at-least 2 weeks till date and honestly i did a good move by switching the traffic source. I am now doing great with a good ROI on Lead Impact.
Stats of my expense from lead impact:-
Landing Page performance Stats on LeadImpact
Final Conclusion on Leadimpact:- I did some modification on my landing page before i started the campaign and the bids are quite low as compared to 50onred but i have huge competition as i can see all other competitors bids on lead impact, so i have to monitor 3 times a day to make sure i stay at top position.
Total Cost:- $98.36
Total Income:- $328.00
Total Loss/Profit= 229.64
ROI= 233.47%
Its just the beginning of my journey with diet vertical. Getting a lead(SOI/DOI) is very easy but getting a sale is really tough. Just stay in touch and i will keep this thread updated as i progress with my journey on diet vertical.
P.S:- Please don't ask what offer i am running, from which network i am running the offer. I have already shared my traffic source. As its my ongoing campaign, so i cant share any more vital details about my campaign.
If you have any more queries, then do ask them on the thread. Have a nice day.
