My mobile success starts now (31)

My mobile success starts now

Hi Guys

I decided to put a stop on reading STM follow alongs & all because in order to achieve mobile success I must start taking actions. Just like what Charles Ngo said. I have no experience it this but I'm all in for this until it's successful. Therefore, I hope you guys can guide me through the ups & downs.

I'm starting with The Appetiser

Approved Aff networks:
Clickdealer

Approved Traffic networks:
Decisive

Tracking Tools

Voluum

I will be promoting DU speed Booster at $0.35 CPA. This offer is available for many geos.

I just did my spying tool (Whatrunswhere) to spy on the competitions. It gave me an idea on how the banners look like IE: Colours, pictures, Sizes, wordings.

After I'm done with spying, I've created a few angles.

These are the angles :

1.) Boost Your Andriod Speed In 60 Seconds

2.) Speed Up Your Gaming Speed Now

3.) Phone Lag? We Can Boost Your Phone Speed Now

4.) Laggy Games? Boost your game speed In 60 Seconds

5.) This Speed Booster Is Better Than Your Speed Booster

6.) Speed up your games in 60 seconds

7.) Slow Download? Download your game fast now

8.) Hate Lag Androids? Speed up your android in 60 seconds

The next step:
I'm gonna create 8 different banners. I will get it done by tonight.

This is what I've done so far. The process is a lil complicating for the first time. But I'm very keen to learn & keep the momentum going.
I hope you guys can give me some feedbacks on what I've done wrong & I should do next.

Will keep you guys posted.

Thank You
From Malaysia

Sweet! Can't wait to see your progression! Me too I'm going to start creating banners soon, gotta get to work!

11-14-2014 04:30 AM #3 adrianegerrard (Member)

Cool. Let's get things done and dirty. I was thinking if we could join a newbie mastermind group? I believe we will learn and progress faster

Alright. I have officially set a live campaign follow the Mobile Appetiser.

My smart CPM is 1.5 X $0.35 (CPA) - Is this correct?

I'm targeting Singapore ( GEOS)

Setted 4 Live Campaigns Shown in the screenshot

1.) WIFI- SITE
2.) Mobile- Site
3.) Mobile- APP
4.) Wifi - APP

And i attached 8 banners with different angles.

Now I'm waiting for my ads to be approved. Wish me luck.
My journey begins here.

Please feel free to comment here. I'm a total newbie.

P/S: Never Give Up

I'd recommend testing some ads with darker backgrounds and light text - white isn't often the best background colour to use.

11-15-2014 03:58 AM #6 adrianegerrard (Member)

Alright sure. I will create them after testing these angles. Thanks.

I have a question on creating a mobile landing page.

Besides using this technique to create Lp (http://stmforum.com/forum/showthread...+mobile+lander)

Is there any other ways to create LP? Because i'm encountering some problem viewing on my phone .

11-15-2014 04:12 AM #7 zeno (Administrator)

You can either do it by hand, use a piece of software, or combine both.

There's no secret to it you just have to figure out the technical challenges.

What problems are you encountering? If you don't know/learn basic HTML/CSS then building a mobile lander will be hard. In fact, editing and making most landers will be hard.

11-15-2014 04:43 AM #8 adrianegerrard (Member)

Okay. I'm facing problem viewing on the phone. I managed to use CODA to create the exact LP. Now i just need to know how to view on Mobile ?

11-15-2014 04:54 AM #9 zeno (Administrator)

Just open it in Firefox or Chrome and emulate a mobile device.

In Firefox hit ctrl+shift+m and change the screen size.

In Chrome hit F12 > emulation tab > device > choose a model and tick emulate mobile.

11-15-2014 05:24 AM #10 adrianegerrard (Member)

Okay thanks.

Just one more question. Do I need to upload this to hosting ? Do I need to buy a new hosting ?

I just uploaded in one of my site which has the website name in my url. Does it affect if we use it for campaign?

11-15-2014 06:03 AM #11 zeno (Administrator)

You really need to get on top of these basics before running campaigns.

You can host your landing page on a CDN such as Rackspace Cloud Files. You will need to upload all of the files to somewhere (e.g. a CDN container, or a server) so that you can access them through a URL.

I'm not sure what site you are using at the moment, or where it is hosted, or how appropriate it is for landing page hosting.

11-15-2014 10:47 AM #12 caurmen (Administrator)

Key thing - is your hosting shared, vps, or dedicated? If it's shared I'd really not recommend using it for AM.

11-19-2014 04:34 PM #13 adrianegerrard (Member)

Thanks guys for guiding me through.

Finally, i've build 8 angle Landing Pages & Set the trackings in Voluum.
I have tested the link from decisive banners and they are completely fine.

I have a question before i proceed to launching my campaign.

Did i miss out any steps? Is there anything else to do before starting collecting datas?

Please feel free to comment.

Thanks

11-19-2014 04:44 PM #14 adrianegerrard (Member)

Just FYI. I copied the URL from the decisive banner. And this is the link http://9tpbo.voluumtrk.com/10158d1b-...hash={bidhash}

Would appreciate if you can comment on everything because i'm eager to learn my trials and errors =D

11-20-2014 10:21 AM #15 caurmen (Administrator)

Have you clicked through that link yourself? Are you seeing the visits and clickthroughs recorded in Voluum?

If so, I'd say you're good to go!

11-20-2014 05:32 PM #16 adrianegerrard (Member)

Yes. I have checked through and I am able to track the clicks .

Alright I will start campaign.

Btw, I wanna understand how the 8 different landers are being tested/clicked ? There are 8 landers which I've uploaded in Voluum. I am confused with this process because when I gotten the link from my decisve link. The link only show one lander and link to offer. What about the other landers?

How do they match 8 banners and 8 landers together?

Thanks
I'm curious how it works.

11-21-2014 01:17 AM #17 zeno (Administrator)

8 landers is too many to test initially.

You set them up to rotate in your campaign configuration, just click add landing page.

Where did you get them? Pick the best few. I noticed the one linked to is also not mobile responsive - it really should be otherwise it may not display well on smaller devices.

You should use something like BrowserStack to test what the lander will look like on various mobile devices.

I think these are the common problems where many androids users are facing.
Will give them a try and lets' see what the datas say.

I have tested these LP in browserstack ( Free Trial) on most Androids ( from big - small devices) and it responded.

Is there any free software similar to Browserstack?

Btw, just wanna finalise things. http://9tpbo.voluumtrk.com/10158d1b-...hash={bidhash}

This link & is it good to go?

1.) Tracking - Completed
2.) Check on Browserstack- Completed

11-21-2014 05:51 AM #19 zeno (Administrator)

If loading your campaign link works, and clicking on the CTA button takes you to the offer, and the data appears in Voluum, then yep - go for it.

11-21-2014 03:56 PM #20 adrianegerrard (Member)

Yes. I have checked it. I will start campaign tomorrow to collect datas.

I have 1 more question
1.) I have added 2 LP in Voluum. Does that mean it will rotate them automatically after setting up the whole tracking system

Thanks

11-23-2014 12:08 AM #21 dr_ngo ()

the landers should be split evenly if the numbers are 100 and 100 each

an easy way to check is to just click the link yourself and see if the landing pages rotate evenly

Day 1 Campaign

Finally i have started my journey.
First, i would like to ask about this. Is these traffic rate normal on weekends?
I'm targeting Singapore - DU Speed Booster Offer at $0.35 CPA.

CTR- 18.73%
Clicks- 47
Conversion- 0

Please advise.

11-23-2014 03:41 PM #24 Mr Green (Administrator)

Up those bids!

You're only winning 4.5% of the app traffic available.

What budget did you set?

11-23-2014 04:10 PM #25 adrianegerrard (Member)

Okay. I guess there's something wrong too. lol. Sorry newbie in action.

I attached the screenshot of the bidding (Smart CPM)

Daily Limit - $5
CPA Goal- 1.5 Times my CPA

Questions
1.) how do i up my bid & win more app traffic available?
2.) Where do i see my bid? Only see these two.
3.) How much traffic should we be aiming/winning?

Thanks

11-23-2014 07:40 PM #26 deondup (Member)

Daily Limit - $5

Why do you set this so low ?

Even if you get a crazy ROI you'll be making $10-$15/day.

Set it to at least $50 to get decent data

11-24-2014 02:02 AM #27 adrianegerrard (Member)

I am following the mobile appetiser method.
How much i should set ideally?

I don't quite understand actually on which determines the amount of traffic. Is it daily limit?

11-24-2014 03:47 AM #28 deondup (Member)

Its a combination of factors but your bid is probably the most important.

I think anything under a $25/day budget will severely limit your impressions. I would start at $25-$50/day on day one - let the crap placements come so you can block them quickly. Then up to min $50/day from day 2 onwards but keep a close eye on crappy placements the first few days especially.

$5/day will get you nowhere fast

11-24-2014 05:20 AM #29 adrianegerrard (Member)

I have just increased. I can't go any further for now so i guess data will be slow.
it's $8 per campaign and i have 4 campaigns which sum up to $32.

Is this correct?

What's your opinion on this?
I'm following mobile appetiser guide btw

11-24-2014 05:53 AM #30 zeno (Administrator)

Just follow the appetiser for now - $8 each over 4 campaigns giving $32/day is fine to start but do be aware it's this way to be slow-paced for beginners and it will indeed take a while to get data.

In your situation I'd advise this since spending more may give a bit of data overload and analysis paralysis.
