On your mark. Get set. Go!

[Javelyn]

Hello everyone! My independent journey as a media buyer has been going on for a week now. I completed a one-month course and decided to start driving traffic on my own. What can I say... over the past week, I've doubted my choice many times and affirmed it just as many. But the main thing is not to give up, I told myself, and I'm moving forward with determination!
As I mentioned before, I am trying to work in the adult dating niche.
I have a few questions.
1)Which tracker would you recommend for beginners? In the courses, we worked with Voluum, which is a great tracker, but a bit too expensive for a beginner, in my opinion. Right now, I’m using Peerclick, which is free with a limited set of features, but it seems like it doesn't work as well. Perhaps you could suggest a good, optimal alternative?
2)I also have a question that I can't resolve. I created two landing pages. Both have the same link on the CTA button. One works and redirects to the offer, but the other doesn't. What could be causing this?
That's all for now. I'll be happy to hear your answers!

Yeah, Voluum is prime and so requires a larger investment than some of the others. It's a great tracker, though. I used it for a bit when it first came out.

I retired from all of this a few years ago but I used BeMob for tracking for awhile too without complaint, though not adult dating. We have a number of members who promote adult who may see this thread and pop in with a suggestion.

You can have a look in Resources, if you want to see what's available here: Search results for query: tracker

Also, I think there are a couple of tracker companies listed on our Discounts page. If any company piques your interest, you can go to their listing page to see if any members have posted reviews, or ask in a post.

Meanwhile, this post will give yours a bump.

After a long search, I found solutions to my problems. The Peerclick tracker offers free usage for beginners and testing. You can use it with some limitations, but without time restrictions. I also solved the issues with the CTA button—it turned out to be something simple. I had just entered the link incorrectly.
So, I've already launched my first campaign! I'll keep you updated!

FunnelFlux Pro is vey good as well. There are a bunch of them here in our resources.

 

[Javelyn]

Could you tell me how I can find an affiliate network if I know the name of the offer?

 

[Graybeard]

You can check for the offer at offervault.com.
You can ask here --your offer is no secret if a network has it.

Thank you! The thing is, I'm doing research in Adplexity and trying to find successful combinations. So, for the offers I come across, I would like to find them in ad networks. It's not a secret, it's just inconvenient to ask about each offer here.

Let me share a bit about my experiments. I’ve managed to gather all the necessary tools for work and launch a few campaigns. So far, there’s nothing to brag about... I’ve burned around $100 in hopes of finding a successful combination on my own. I’ve realized it would be better to learn from competitors.

Yeah! OfferVault and AffBank are where you will find the networks that have the offer.

A week has passed since I started working independently. I’ve tried several niches in Tier 1 and Tier 2. I’ve switched offers and countries, tested different prelanders, and made adjustments. In the end, I’ve burned around $300 and earned only $10.

I’ve been in business for about 20 years, but in a completely different field. I understand business processes, but right now, I’m at a bit of a dead end. I can’t figure out what to do or what to change.

I understand that if this were easy, every grandmother would be a media buyer. But on the other hand, I feel like I’m either banging on a closed door or don’t understand how to open it.
I’m working with push traffic. My affiliate network is CrakRevenue. The traffic sources I use are PropellerAds and ClickAdilla.

I understand that no one will give me a magic solution here. But the forum exists to provide advice... What should I do? Which direction should I dig?

Where is your data: traffic logs, tracker reports, GA4 (google-analytics) reports.
Diagram or describe your funnel.
If you are not tracking your referral traffic --you have a $(290.00) loss with nothing to learn from your failures.

My affiliate network is CrakRevenue. The traffic sources I use are PropellerAds and ClickAdilla.

Should be working (theoretically)

tip: If you are trying to work with U.S. traffic, this is not been the best week for it, too much political confusion, of course there's a question of people just looking for diversion --so maybe I'm wrong.
