Quick Recap of Attempt 1
I got on with a network shortly after signing up with STM. I was eager to get started and found a mobile CPI offer to start with. I had a difficult time spying so decided to start with two angles and direct linked. I was using this attempt as a chance to get a feel for the different platforms worked (
Offer Payout .78
Total Spend $40
Revenue .78
Angles
1) Stock Creatives,
2) Made 5 banners in photoshop self made, they were straight forward 1 icon, short copy, call to action.
Split Tests
Mobi / Wifi Splits on both angles to start.
Started blacklisting at 100k impressions. But only had 1 conversion by $40 spend so I decided it may be time to forget this offer.
Attempt 2 What I am currently working on
I decided if I was going to make this work there can be no short cuts. I did my due diligence and found an offer that was already doing some solid volume and generating decent revenue. It is once again a CPI and through my spying I found the successful campaigns are direct linking it as well. I ripped some successful banners and created a few of my own.
My campaigns are currently pending approval on two traffic sources. One I found to be successful through spying and Decisive which I was already comfortable with.
Things I have learned thus far
