I'm taking a semester off of college to manage my lawn care business and run campaigns on here.
I have about 10 hours I can work in a day. I'd love to be using this time as effectively as possible.
For those here who have experience. How many campaigns should I shoot to make in a day? Lets just say that I consider one campaign, making 10 banners per offer splitting between wifi/site, wifi/app, carrier/app and carrier/site and creating 1 lp.
I know this is a very subjective question, but what is a good goal to shoot for where I will be using those ten hours very effectively?
I shoot for 4-6 campaigns a week. Shoot for as many campaigns as your budget allows. When you start getting close to running out of money, then you are probably launching enough.
You should create as many as you can create whilst still doing each step thoroughly and well.
So if you can create 4 campaigns a day, great. But if you have to start using Google Translate rather than good translations, start being lazy about your copywriting, only making a couple of banners, or otherwise taking shortcuts in order to achieve that number, then slow down and concentrate on doing good work over doing lots of work.
Hope that helps!
Just like in working out, make your rep count goal 3x higher then you think is possible.
It's also not always how how many campaigns you're going to launch, but how many angles youre going to try, or how much effort your putting into landing pages/targeting etc.
Make lists, and work your ass off!
@stackman that's great advice. Like any creative work shoot for quality and conversion over just quantity.
Modafinil or no Modafinil, that is is the question
In my case, I have a very little amount of time dedicated to AM since I have a day jobs and 2 kids.
Advices like "launch at least 4 camps a day" definitely don't work with me.
I'm not a seasoned affiliate so I'm not sure my advice has value, but IMHO, preparation is everything.
If you don't do your homework with a good offer research (communication with your AM, looking at the top EPCs on you affiliate network etc.), a decent brainstorming session, a good demo and angles research etc.... you can launch 10 campaigns a day, I highly doubt there will be a huge difference. Or you're just chasing luck.
(unless I'm mistaken, please share your advice)
I mean, in every vertical, you have very strong offers that are performing for everyone.
They are not that hard to find, and you can have a fair list of offers in the verticals you like very fast.
From that point, I don't think you should focus on a daily number of campaigns to launch, especially if you launch just 1 LP and just 10 banners, like you mentioned in your post.
But instead, like it was said above, maybe you should focus more on bringing a lot of different creatives on the table.
You KNOW that the offers you are working on are good, don't switch from an offer to an other, from a traffic source to an other, unless you're working on an absolute loser.
I'd like to have the advice from the pros on that, but that's what I've discovered on my level.
I've found out that I feel bad and stressed when I launch a campaign WITHOUT having from the very beginning:
- at least 4 different angles ready to test from day1
- at least 2 LP per angle
- and an army of very different banners for each angles/landing pages
When you have all these creatives in your hand, things become more relaxing because you're just switching between creatives, pausing placements, trying sources etc.
And you overcome the discouragement effect that happens when you launch a thing that doesn't work, that may paralyze you for a few hours/days... (that happens to me very often)... because you've already designed other creatives with a fresh and positive mind, and they are ready to use right now

Neither does anybody else."
