Hey guys,
Was contemplating for a couple of days about whether or not to create an online journal - mainly because I was afraid that I would embarrass myself if I don't have any success to show like some of the other guys here.
But after thinking long and hard, I finally decided that having an online journal and potentially having hundreds of people reading this will only bring more good than bad to me.
"What do you do when you fall, you pick yourself up"
So why do I want to do this?
1. To keep me accountable so that I stick with my goals/targets. I want to be able to look back at this thread 3 months/6 months/1 year down the road and see how far I've gone.
2. I want you guys to criticize the shit out of me if I'm doing something wrong. I know this industry is really competitive and people don't share or talk much, but I've seen you guys being really helpful too. So please, do let me know if I'm doing things right or wrong.
3. If I do achieve success, I hope that this thread will inspire others. You have no idea how many times I've felt demotivated after making a loss and then coming into this forum and seeing other people's success stories. "If they can do it, I can do it too."
What are my goals?
Short term - 1 month - $10 profit/day
Medium term - 3 months - $100 profit/day
Medium to long term - 6 months - $500 profit/day
Long term - 1 year - $1000 profit/day
What have I done so far?
I started affiliate marketing with Facebook, ran for about 3 months before deciding to switch to mobile in June. Took me about a month to read up on it and finally ran my first mobile campaign some time in June/July.
Still have not found success to this date.
I was running mostly pin submit offers with a focus on antivirus offers and sweeps.
What am I doing differently this time?
After months without success, I'm going to try something totally different. This time I'm going to try to run CPI offers with a focus on utility apps. Reason I didn't do this earlier was because I was turned off by the low payout. But at this stage, I'm willing to try anything. I still like running antivirus offers so I'll still run them occasionally.
Current campaign
Offer: CPI Utility App
Payout: $0.25
I am testing this offer by running 2 types of campaigns.
Campaign 1: Direct link with banners provided by the advertiser
Campaign 2: Still using the banners provided by the advertiser + LP
Traffic sources: Tapit and SmartApp (as recommended by @shreedharcva)
Just submitted both campaigns for approval so I will update again tomorrow once they're approved and I start getting some traffic in.
