What is your biggest struggle right now?

So what's the biggest issue you have these days? Just don't go general like not making enough money.

Not getting the CR you want for the last campaign?
Not able to set up the tracker?
Not finding a good offer?
Learning programming and to create landers
Not having enough motivation?
Can't handle cashflow?

Etc...you name it.

Maybe some of us can help with your issue right here.

Not finding anyting that's converting at the moment

My last campaign for FB seems to have died off.. so been testing other bits.. mainly FB and a slice of mobile.

But struggling to get anything to make even a single conversion at the moment.. even when I was doing bad last couple of years, I at least found something that converted once or twice before dumping it haha..

Time and building campaigns that would last a lot longer

Can't decide where to start with - teespring/pof/mobile. Fucking confusing.
Limited Budget, can't afford to lose much. Too much pressure.

I'd definitely say pof. Even if you don't make any money, it's ideal platform to start with and learn the basics

Making good lander for mobile, i usually tweak others.
Find a good mobile campaign to be profitable with
Make banner
Understanding how many campaigns, banners, landers i should launch every day, and how much i should spend until i understand ok fuck it and delete it
Having a -50% and don't understand what to do to get it profitable? Laziness of making new Lp or banner? it could be, but see my points above.
Working alone is much more harder than split the job with someone else.
Outsource and hire someone to make banner and lp? expensive and i mean i am not a pro i think i could make some profit without hiring anyone, i am not saying millions but at least 50-60 dollars daily

build real company, with office and dedicated employes and CEO,
and just be the advisor and owner of that company

What if you know the basics, then also you would recommend POF?

I see POF is learning platform for those who are new to tracking/LPs or the whole affiliate marketing thing. But what if you have experience in it, then POF would be a right platform?

There's really no easy answer.

POF is an easy platform to grasp, great for learning and even having steady dating campaigns but there's tons of competition and not much room to scale "BIG".

MOBILE is a giant world, its always expanding, there's so much traffic and tricks, but its also overwhelming and tons of info to track.

Teespring i don't know too much about, you'd still need to choose a type of traffic to run it with.

same here - deciding where to start
+ motivation to just get on and target XX a day, when the day job pays very very well... I know I need to focus on attaining the small profits as I'm a newbie in AM , but only X,XXX a day is motivating

Getting my CPC back down on my FB camps. Click costs are up like 4X for me right now compared to a week ago. Testing multiple targeting strategies (broad, reaaaally broad, specific, reaaally specific, CPC, oCPM, etc) and they are still trending high.

courage to stick to an offer
You need to trust the process brah you can do it, its the only way to get forward and outta that shitty 9-5 you hate!

For me, definitely time. I feel like I go to bed on Sunday night and wake up on Friday

I do FB to Teespring fulltime and struggle with finding reliable + skilled designers. It's kind of a gold rush over there right now and speed to market is crucial.


05-14-2014 02:05 AM #28 superboi (Member)

As for me...

finding a good offer... that is reliable?

From time to time... i find an offer that converts well on the first few days...

and when I found a good combo of banner/copy/lander/ the offer stops converting all of the sudden?

this happened to me three times already...

at first I thought it was because of SOI scrubbing...

but when I did DOI... it happened again....

I just don't know what to do anymore..

Interesting replies...

Some want to save time, others struggle with campaign stuff.
