Hey folks,
I'm still in the beginning phases of the Mobile Appetiser.
I have everything set-up nicely - approved for F5 and Decisive, selected an offer, developed 16 ad creatives myself.
However, I am pretty frustrated because the ads require approval, and I have been waiting to hear back for more than a week now - despite numerous follow-ups. How am I ever going to set up or change campaigns quickly if I have to wait 7+ days to get new creatives approved? Is this normal?
So, do I:
Don't run without it being approved. It's not an 'ask for forgiveness' situation. They won't pay you if you're running non-compliant shit.
If your AM is that slow -- ask for another one.
Thanks, mate. But unfortunately I don't have an AM. They won't assign one until I run traffic. Bit of a catch-22.
It's even more perplexing as I'm pretty sure my ads are fully compliant. Oh well, I guess I just have to keep pushing them.
I've never run a campaign so what I say may be considered worthless by most.
That being said, the safe business practices specimen in me is saying to wait and figure out a way to get faster approval rather than running non approved ads. It only puts you in a situation that poses you potential risk.
Any update with this?
Hmmn perhaps STM London caused a bit of a disruption? Email again and try pinging one of the F5 members on the forum. A week is not normal, though if the advertiser also needs to be shown creatives that can be another bottleneck
Can you grab a different offer that doesn't require approval, and run that for a bit? That may be the fastest way to prove you're serious.
Also, do email them - I believe there's a general F5 address that's given to new affiliates? There may be a specific hiccup happening that they can easily resolve.
