I finally made it! (47)

I finally made it!

Hi guys, i still remember when i found about STM and dreaming about $50-$100/day, well that little goal has been reached and passed way more than i expected: https://www.dropbox.com/s/o0wcwsgt3k...35.08.png?dl=0

This is a screenshot from september 2014 up to today. Now the numbers are not precise, i did not count the cpc for some traffic sources, but you still get the picture right?!
We are talking about $250k profit.
It took me months of learning and thousand of hours in front of my laptop to be able to get where i am now.
The most frustrating and difficult thing i think it was let my self go and spend enough money to get enough data for each single campaign i have been running.
Guys i could have saved my self months of frustration if i wasn't so dammed scared of losing money.
I guess when you start this business you don't have a real plan, you just want to make money and quit your job (at least it was like this for me).
I wish everyone to achieve success in this business, because i know exactly what it means to work a lot, spend money and not having anything in return (really frustrating).
I am in a point where i got laid back a little, maybe it's because i have been on the spot for months and so many hours in a row that i got burned out.
I quit my job, bought my father a car, helping my family financially. I still need to achieve my goal, $1million saved in my bank.
AM is really stressful if you don't have a solid team, a drive pushing you over your limit and specific goal that you want to achieve.
I have been doing that money 100% mobile, sweepstakes, mostly pop and display.
I don't even use FB or pay per call.
Sky is the limit, it's so scary and you feel lost if you think you have no limits on how much you can make or achieve, so for those who is starting now: FLY LOW, SET A PLAN AND STICK TO IT UNTIL YOU MAKE IT, THEN TRY TO SCALE IT AND GET BIGGER AS MUCH AS YOU CAN AS FAST AS YOU CAN.

I wish you guys good work and STM

This is awesome! Congrats!

Beyond not being afraid of spending money to get enough data, what other mindsets or revelations helped you get where you are today?

How much do you recommend should be spent to get enough data?

My biggest change happened when i connected with 3 guys that i am still working with, we exchanged ideas, campaigns, landers, traffic sources ecc...ecc...
Contact your AM, get the most profitable offers by volume, revenue, epc.
TRUST your AM if he/she tells u something, DO IT.
My AM at one point she got pissed at me, because she was setting me up on many campaigns, and i launched some, i failed and keep asking for more! IT'S JUST WRONG.
I can't forget that moment, she said now if you don't bring me at least x,xxx visits for a single campaign i wont open up new offers for you. I kept stopping sending traffic too early and not even try to understand what was going wrong with it.
The trick is you need to test a lot, if u do pop sometimes to find a winner you need to test 40-50 landers, try new ones everyday and you will make it.
Also don't blame your AM or the traffic source, if you did not succeed yet, keep pushing, i always been told from the best "THE SECRET IS YOU"

It depends on the offer, the payout and the flow.
Sometimes you will find offers converting right off the bat direct linking (pop), sometimes only with landers, the more you can test, the better.
If you have small budget focus on small payout, top 5$.
ONE LANDER can make the difference, from -100% to 200/500% roi, try to spy on your competitors (if u don't have big creativity or programming skills) and tweak their landers or take a hint from it.

Thanks for all the advice! In regards to the above quote, do you mean 100% unique LPs, or just copy variations on a few styles?

Nice, congrats! Can you shed light on which networks you used for pop traffic?


04-13-2015 07:27 AM #17 mauluc (Member)

congrats! really inspiring. Need these stories to go on and don't give up, especially for a noob like me that has only spending money now
One of the hardest thing is to understand whether you're spending enough or not enough for a campaign.

This post came at a perfect time as I am in the same place you were...struggling to get a pop sweeps campaign to $100/day. This is very inspiring to keep me pushing. Quick question...what do you find to be the most effective way to spy with mobile pops?

Thanks for your time and great story!
