Hello guys, hope you all had an awesome week, and “scored some”, either financially, romantically or why the hell not, both 
. Just wanted to give you the scoop on this new mobile offer I’m testing with paid traffic, maybe disect it along the way and find some method to my madness (if there is actually one).
So first thing, I choose a traffic source that looks neat, and maybe not chokefull of people with more money than common sense. Let’s call them ”angry bids”, or newbs with a deathwish. So I’m up for a testfest sinceI got 10 bucks in it like a baller (lowballer mind you... cheapstake SOB), testing an offer my friendly & helpful affiliate manager recommended (thx dog, I’ll send you a xmas postcard this year). So I know there’s epc and people making money on it.
Now I wanna make crystal clear right at that moment, I WASN’T REALLY TRYING TO MAKE PROFIT, hell I knew I’d end up losing money first, and so did I outstandingly...
INITIAL SCORE
Offer Payout: $1.10 (app download)
Spent: $10
Conversions: 0
Revenue: 0
Profit: -$10
ROI: -100%
So I’m like “Holy shit I suck!”, yeah just like you are rigth now. But hold your horses, at least now I have a certain ballpark for what countries seem to have the highest volume, and about what kind of CPM I could expect. Yeah I’m not doing CPC on this, but CPM. Why? Cause I like living on the edge... now seriously, networks don’t give a rat’s ass about CPC or CTR for that matter, eCPM IS KING. Cause CPM is how they buy traffic, specially if you want premium stuff aka “show me the money”.
Then I’m doing interstitials all up in this mother, and failing miserably... right?... wrong, apps are different from run of the mill offers. Some advertisers don’t count simple installs as conversion (those days are gone or about to), the user has to open it, and maybe even perform certain action(s), so it can take minutes, hours, or even days for showing.
But this is how the score looked after a day wallowing in misery over 10 bucks that could have been far better used in caffeine and free wifi at starbucks.
MID SCORE:
Spent: $10
Conversions: 8
Revenue: $8.80
Profit: -$1.20
ROI: -12.0%
Still in red numbers but that doesn’t look too bad right? Wrong! It looks amazing. DON’T EXPECT ANY OFFER TO BE PROFITABLE FROM THE START, guys I can’t stress this nearly enough. I’ll take -50% ROI on any offer, before optimization, any day of the week.
Then as soon I’m getting data (which countries, OS, carriers & devices are converting best), I start culling the impression hoarders, which aren’t converting. Blood money sucking bastards. Gathering data, analizing and optimization are the keys to profits... not some shady $15 course on how to make $20 million a month to leave your wife and kids, while you ride your lambo with a pornstar to the sunset. You’re not losing money, YOU’RE INVESTING IN DATA. Or even better, building a list to keep promoting offers on and on. You lead peddling hoes.
So what’s score looking so far?
Spent: $23.64
Conversions: 54
Revenue: $59.40
Profit: $35.76
ROI: %151.27
BTW Ignore the clicks, those are actually impressions (you’re such a ballsbuster hasoffers), and your conversion rate is actually really really good, when your “clicks” range from .001 to .005 a piece.
So keep hope alive guys, this is not “easy money”, but is a great business oportunity like no other, and you don’t need a huge budget to begin seeing results consistently. Gonna try to post about some other offers I’m running, and a few great resources for mobile marketing which are of course FREE and can get you started in no time (you’re already in one, Affiliatefix). No referral links, not "read my blog", not "join my list", no bullshit. At least not in this thread lol. So any feedback, criticizm and death threats will be appreciated. Good luck and profits everyone. Now go make some money!
Cheers.
