Please help me - adult media buying (5)
Hey guys,
i've been testing multiple offers (dating, pps, punishtube)the past days with Trafficjunky, i've tried dating offers (for multiple countries like AU//US/CA/NL/FR) I've been testing different Landing pages(even tried this map http://stmforum.com/forum/showthread...-Dating-Webapp - was not easy to set up) and banners as well.
Most of my campaigns got a ROI of around -90% which i presume is very bad. My budget is running down now, initially had around $1300 now i have around $100 left.
I'm very skeptical on what to try next as i dont have any money except this last $100.
Can someone please tell me which type of offers is most likely to work?
Can someone please guide me a bit if possible (if there's anything i could do in return ill be more than happy) ? If i spend $100 testing myself and it doesnt work i'll be screwed as my financial position is really bad.
I live in Mauritius (small island in the Indian ocean), i can take a job but then i won't be able to try AM again as you get peanuts as salary here (may be its because of my academical skills which sucks lol 
i'm too be blamed haha) and if i spend my salary on AM testing again, i'm not sure how ill be able to survive with no money :S
Thank you.
Sounds like you're testing really high payout offers on a pretty small budget. I would suggest trying a very low payout PPL dating offer - at your budget level you would not want to mess with much else. Ask around for high converting dating offers and look for one maybe in a small uncompetitive country with a low payout so you can collect a fair amount of data.
Don't expect too much though - not to get you down but if you only have $100 you might want to take a job to build up a bit more capital first. Even if you are successful with this last $100, it will likely take you about a month to get paid so you won't be able to scale up your successes.
First of all: try some 3rd tier GEO's first. I also started with a 2nd tier GEO (France) and I was about 150 dollars down the drain before I called it quits. The countries you've listed are all pretty expensive (in terms of traffic) and competitive countries where you really need a larger budget to test with.
After failing at France I started doing a Adult dating campaign in Mexico, and I'm about 40 dollars in the green on that campaign (one week of profits). I know it's not much but it beats losing money.
Then again, I haven't been very successful in scaling that campaign so...
Anyway, if you want to make the most of your last 100 dollars I'd really recommend running campaigns on some easier GEO's. The payouts may be lower but the traffic is so much cheaper and the competition is not as bad. You might be able to make those 100 dollars into 200 dollars.
I'm not really sure how much doing online gigs (fiverr, mturk etc.) pay, but if the pay in your country is really low you could consider doing those internet odd-jobs for a bit of extra cash on the side.
My initial feeling is that your chasing the profit It will never work ( i have tried) . Better to start with small budget , make a few bucks per day in profit then you can make 10 -20 -30 aswell.., small goals. And be very carefull on testing offers, Dont test to much offers . Test only the offers the AM or STM people recommend you. And be very strict with how you testing. learn from each failing test and make your own system when to give up on a offer . Take the loss and move instead of run all your budget in just hoping the luck will turn around
From an Island to another.
maurizus you have money all around your island, You can flipp money just buy and sell fish with Positiv ROI without thuching a single FISH at the fishmarket !!! Just some hussling skills. My neigbour goes to the Fishmarket every morning with 800 usd . He buy fish and sell it for 10-30 % profit ti buyers who come and take it and goes inland ...and sell it for higher profit where the fish is expensive 
3rd tier country + offer with smaller payout -> better chance to get some profit, and you will need smalled budget to try it out.
at the end of the day, try to spy other people what they're doing, on which publishers, what offers are they running.... stalk them for few days, and if you see same stuff on same publishers, that means they're making some money on it... and so could you 
I've always had problems with traffic sources that everyone is using, if there is too much competition, it will be harder for you to make some cash.. believe me.
Try with networks like buzzcity or something simmilar. I've had more "luck" there when I started out with adult marketing 
best of luck o/
