To Network Owners (7)
If I came up with a my own product say hypothetically a weight loss supplement. What would it take you network owners to run my offer?
What generally do you guys look for in advertisers?
If you aren't very well known prepay is a big thing from there we'd contact our pubs running something similar to switch it out and give it a test to see how well it converts.
sometimes you can get away with a 5k prepay but rebill stuff might be a different deal
When me and my business partner were looking into putting together a muscle building supplement a few years back, most of the networks we spoke with wanted $10k+ in prepay. And I thought that was on the low end, and figured they were giving me a relatively lower number since they knew who I was. If you're trying to launch a supplement you really need to have some money put aside to bankroll everything unless you just want to promote it yourself.
You need a lot more than money, plenty of guys with money get their assholes handed to them every year from trying to run on networks for the first time. Typically you should be a top affiliate in the space you develop an offer in, that's the whole point of doing an offer, to increase your earnings per sale (other reasons to, but that being the main one)
Even being a top affiliate doesn't make a top advertiser, many strong affiliates bail out of doing offers when they see all the work and bullshit involved. You need to run the offer yourself before a network ever touches it to get the real numbers and optimize your funnel.
There's about 40 other imperative things you need to have mastered to run an offer successfully, it was never easy, but just in the last few years the landscape has changed drastically and gotten a lot more competitive and a lot more difficult to sustain.
I don't want to assume to much but frankly, the way you asked that question sort of implies to me that the last thing you should be thinking about is running an offer right now.
Thanks for all the replies. Yes I sound like a noob when talking about being an advertiser but everyone starts out new at one point eh? 
This game is about progression right? Some guys move on to be network owners some to advertisers.
Agreed - you should run it internally until you have very solid data. Plus, you really are opening up a can of worms just saying hey networks take my offer... most of their traffic is gonna be from affiliates doing shady stuff and who does it all come back to when the FTC is hungry? You... Best to become a top aff in the space, make connections and have a smallllll group of strong publishers pushing your offer, so you can have some control over your marketing/compliance
