Need advice on which vertical to choose! Integrity issues.

Hi there,

Ok, now I have a general overview of what has to be done. my buddy Mora is (again) on a holiday, so I can't ask him my zillion questions :P.
Anyways, although I have an acc on F5 media, I don't want to bother my manager too much, with my newbie questions. So that is why I ask them here.

(We want to do Mobile on Decisive.)

F5 media, seems to send their best offers around in an email. When I looked at it I was kinda disappointed, because:
- 66% is scammy porn.
- 28% is not in my own language
- xx% looks really scammy

This kind of drills into my integrity, not sure doing those things for a long time will make me happy.

My question is: Are there enough 'good' offers available that suit me? Considering:

- For every offer, is there also a version available in english language?
- I don't believe in ativirus app instals, but I do believe in security apps (saving your privacy), this is not the same. Are there app installs available for that?
- Other things I am ok with is: Mobile sweeps, dating sites without porn (e.a. Chinese Love, but that one is not mobile?), app installs that are not scammy, games, weight loss programs.

Any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks for help.

p.s. oh and also tell me, if the only way to survice is by going bad.....
p.s. i am trying to get more offers (CPA networks), but i first have to set up a site.

well you can try the gaming niche no scam there
also there are a lot of legit dating offers non adult

weight loss niche is not that clean as you might think , still lot of scamy products out there

some offers do have many GEO versions but not all, you need to check it for each offer

Thanks Aton,

Does F5 media have legit dating offers or game offers? Normal app installs and sweeps are scammy too?

Thanks.

If you want good, honest offers then I'm afraid most of the hot offers aren't it. Look at promoting games then on facebook, available in your language. Or shareasale.com products, OR info products from clickbank you believe in.

if you really dont like scamy stuff i suggest you to grab a niche you personally enjoy and you have experience in
create some blog around your stuff you like and offer your own or friends services on this area
do some list building and use quality sources like adwords or FB
this way you will enjoy your work and build up some solid business for future

Guys,

Ok then the question is: Which vertical is the least scammy on mobile? (on F5 media)

Thanks.

^ app & game installs

Go for clean app installs, games, lead generation, etc.

Be aware not everything is 'scammy', this implies fraudulent activity, that the users are getting scammed etc., which is often stretching the truth.

However, a lot of offers provide little value to the customer, usually while costing them money.

There are just as many offers out there that are completely legitimate and white hat, they just tend to be less 'hot'. If you extend your reach beyond affiliate networks there are limitless ways you can make money as an affiliate marketer.

@ Zeno & others, hi,

Thanks for the answer.

Right now I feel I am not in the position to go beyond affiliate networks. First I need skill and practice. Therefore I need to choose 1 vertical go with and stick to it.

Yesterday I talked with my account manager of F5 media, he told me I should go for mainstream dating as they are the least scammy, he did not have games available.

You say that there are some apps installs are actually useful? --: when I look at the list of successful products, they tend to be antivirus apps. An antivirus app is completely useless, as it comes with the update of a new version. I read about security apps, which makes your privacy protected, are actually useful, but you know, that story might be fake as well :P. So which app installs are useful?

If there are none useful app installs, mainstream dating sounds ok with me... Is it a vertical that will bring money on the table?

Thanks a million.

Some of the antivirus apps are surprisingly not as useless as you might think. I did some looking into this a while ago and was somewhat surprised.

Mainstream dating is fine - big vertical with lots of potential.

Apps that are useful:

Games
Messenger apps
Browsers e.g. Opera
Music apps e.g. Spotify, Pandora, etc (see Spotify case study by the Rats - http://stmforum.com/forum/showthread...hlight=spotify
Cleanmaster and similar, some battery saver apps are legitimate
Weather apps
Some daily deals have corresponding apps e.g. Groupon, Amazon local
Backup and tuning apps
PDF Readers

Definitely this, F5 covers all these as well. You can make money in a very integral away, there was a recent thread about this.
