Mobile affiliate network without any experience (9)
Hi, so my question is what mobile affiliate network do you recommend for beginners? The problem is I'm having a trouble getting approved due to the lack of experience in the mobile advertising.. Mundo Media, for example, they require names of specific offers I'm running and a reference from my current affiliate manager. I only had success with Tapgerine, and it seems I'll be accepted to KissMyAds if I send them the tax declaration, but I need more and I've ran out of ideas. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

When you apply you should also mention that you’re on STM - they should take you a bit more seriously 
Yeah, I do it every time. Applied to Glispa but got rejected...
I feel you. Getting accepted into affiliate networks can be a catch 22. Kinda like trying to get your first job when you don't have previous experience.
F5Media also has nice mobile offers, and since the owners are STM mods, being a member here automatically qualifies you for approval into the network.
After you're approved by F5, it will be easier to get accepted into other affiliate networks. When applying to other networks, leave the contact information of your affiliate managers at Tapgerine and F5. Most networks probably won't even contact your AMs (at least that was true from my experience).
As for good mobile networks, several have been suggested already, but here are a couple more: Appflood and Avazu.
Another thing you can do to drastically improve your chances of getting approved: follow up your application with a phone call, and/or a PM here on STM if the network has reps that are members here. For a list of affiliate network reps, their STM usernames and skype IDs, see here:

When filling out an application form, or speaking with an affiliate network rep, try to emphasize/include the following:
1)You're a member of STM
2)You have money to spend on testing (and the amount/month)
3)Any experience you may have in AM or IM or even just marketing in general (to make yourself look less "noob"). For example if you have a quality site/blog, be sure to show it off. Or if you've worked in advertising or retail and have marketing or sales experience, be sure to mention that also.
4)Basically convey your sincerity and how determined you are to succeed at AM.
Another thing that can help you look more professional: Choose a company name for yourself, register a domain name, and build a small company site. It could even be a 1-page site that says something like "XYZ is an online advertising company that specializes in promoting mobile apps through media buys. Please contact us @ [email] to discuss your advertising needs." A simple wordpress site with a professional-looking theme will do the job.
Good luck!

Some good tips for you there ^^
Except F5 is unfortunately temporarily closed for new affiliates at the moment - you have plenty more on that list to try though!
Thanks Ruby I didn't know that! Too bad F5 is closed to new affiliates! Good news for us existing affiliates though! 
Another thing to try: Apply to Maxbounty and Peerfly. They're very easy to get into, even for new affiliates. That would give you more networks to list on your application form for other networks.
But really - if you've "had success" with Tapgerine already, then you already have actual AM experience! Most affiliate networks would love to have you! Make sure you emphasize that you have experience - I'm pretty sure you'll get into most networks without problems.
