A little bit of success... (56)

A little bit of success...
So I guess I've never really wanted to write a success of mine for fear of giving too much away, but I figure I'll share my story whilst remaining as vague as possible as competition in what I'm running is still high and has been getting progressively worse in the recent weeks.
Anyway, been running in this particular niche for a little while now. I started testing it towards the end of Feb this year and found profit fairly quickly. I managed to scale it up and scoop up most the traffic early on before other affiliates stepped in to take a piece of the pie also. That's the name of the game I guess..
I've been running this for just under 13 weeks, averaging just over $5,000 a week profit, with my highest day being $4,000 Revenue ($2,600 profit) and a total of $65,039.57 profit. Much nicer than a typical 9-5'ers salary now ain't it?
Hopefully this motivates some of you 
Happy Stacking'

Who Cares. I wouldn't call this inspirational by any means. Its one thing when someone posts a success story and sharing the hardships and minor other details. Not saying the precise model but something that truly can be motivational. Posting I made "such a such" a number doing something is a joke. Oh yeah, I made $80,000 in some competitive niche, doing various traffic sources. Wohoo Good Job !!

People clearly care, given the thanks I get on my OP and the replies. YOU don't care for whatever reason.
People clearly like to read that others are still making money in this Industry.
Just because I don't want to be a flat out retard and give away my campaign so others can try and jack it, doesn't make this post pointless. Neither does omitting my 'hardships and struggles'. What if I didn't have any?
Prior to this I was making money in other niches (financial, dating, diet) and then I had 3-4 months of failed campaigns in various niches, adult, social, ppv, search, you name it. I moved back overseas and still had no real income, go to a point where I was about to throw in the towel and get back to my 9-5 in a web-development job but I thankfully stuck it out and found a winner.
Happy?

The only joke here is you, why would someone give out their information on a campaign that is CURRENTLY profitable for them?
If you are going to run around with an attitude like this when someone is going out of their way to try and motivate people, then please, keep your comments to yourself.

@mi6430 : anyone who reveal too much about his/her success without protect their own ass, probably don't deserve to be called a success story, it is a STM spirit to motivate each other, myself do like to see people earning xx,xxx or xxx,xxx or "even finally I got it"

Indeed all I hoped to achieve from my post was to keep the hope alive for those who are either starting out or stuck in a rut.
We've all been there before.

Way to be a complete douche.
Personally, being a man and all, I don't care much about the heartwrenching story behind the MASSIVE ACTION that was taken. Just the results of said ACTION.

Not a network, just working directly with an advertiser who's using HasOffers

Why only the traffic sources? Wouldn't it be smarter to ask him also for creatives, keywords, landing pages as well...? O__o

Just an update to my year, it (for the most part) was steady and I grew by scaling and expanding into a few other campaigns, testing new angles, getting bumps, building a tighter relationship with my managers and networking with some of the best who inspired me to grow more.
I attended the Adsimilis meetup in Ibiza, Spain, ad:tech in NY and I worked closely with an advertiser for 2 months in their actual office in San Francisco which gave me better insight into how everything works on the offer side.
Invaluable experiences.
On to the money.. I've now hit many 2k days (profit), a handful of 3k days, with 5.6k being my most profitable day.
Just scratching the surface here.
Onward an upward, to a strong 2014 !

Congratulations on your scaling success! I find the part where you worked with the advertiser at their actual office highly interesting. I can only imagine how much valuable information was learned. Hope you have a strong 2014!

A little bit of success...
Guess I should update this briefly.. This year has been the best so far, I've expanded into another niche and have managed to profit 6 figures from that so far in the past 3 months.
The campaign was a shit load of work to set up, but worthy of my time.
Several weeks back to back of 16hour days, sometimes getting to sleep at 7am, to get things set up. And there's still some potential to scale. I have a feeling either my campaigns got jacked by other affs or the traffic sources, as things have definitely slowed down....alas, it's all part of the game, can't do too much about it but adapt.
Apart from that, I've had a six figure month 3 times over this year, prior to which I never experienced, with the highest day being approx 8.5k profit which happened only around a month ago.
Things have since slowed down a fair bit in recent weeks but still making money.
Currently teaming up with some friends and hoping to dominate mobile and a few other interesting opportunities.
I hope this helps motivate a few of you.

Definitely part of the game, you know you've risen time and time and time again so as long as you keep pushing and working it all falls together.
Dedication + Persistance + Optimism = Ongoing Success like Andy
