My "First" Mobile Campaign - Would love some advice (13)

---

UPDATE:

Ok, so my campaigns were just approved on Decisive.

Let's do this thang!

---

1. Stick to 1 vertical only and master it
2. Stick to 1 traffic source only and master it (I recommend go2mobi)
3. Keep launching campaigns and optimize
4. Never. Give. Up.

We're all gonna make it, bra.

Do some spying and look at what the banners and landers look like for similar offers. Don't try and be smart or fancy with banners. Deliver the message. Simple text-style banners should always be tested. (use Decisive's banner creator)

I'm sure these offers can still work but I think its past its prime. Back when you could be more aggressive with system notification style banners it was MUCH easier.

Maybe try and come up with some more unique angles - ''slow phone'' does not really grab people anymore. Look at the offer carefully - there are some untapped angles you can still try.

- Facebook got hacked?
- Warning: Identity Theft Hit Mobile Phones. Are you Protected?
- New Virus Steals Your Online Banking Details

Thank you for the great advice Deon.

Regarding spying, I dont really have the capital to pay $200 per month on What Runs Where currently for spying, so not all that sure as to how I would do it.

I will see if I can find some stuff on here for spying.

The problem I'm having now is that I'm not getting any traffic from Decisive and they are also not getting back to me.

Have I set things up wrong?

Also, should I leave these as is and just do 4 more campaigns with a different angle or just cut these?

Wish I had stats to show, but as mentioned I have no traffic coming in for some reason.

Again, thank you Deon.

I can't really help with Decisive.

However, you should check out AdPlexity. Its better for mobile spying.

If you don't want to or can't pay now, then search the forums for iamatilla's guide to manual spying.

Finally, pick up a copy of Finch's guide to affiliate marketing. This really helped me get my process down for launching and optimizing campaigns.

Thank you so much mate.

I just got Finch's guide as well as Premium Posts.

Its not that I can't afford spy tools, it's just I prefer to pay with Paypal as most of my funds are in there and it's just easier.

Thanks for introducing me to AdPlexity.

UPDATE:

Bloody Decisive still isn't sending any traffic and their support is quite frankly up to shit.

Any ideas as to what I can do as nobody is getting back to me from Decisive and Andrea's mailbox is full?

My New Spy Tool:

Just signed up for AdPlexity and its pretty damn sweet if I'm honest.

Sweet baby Jesus, my head is spinning now.

This is going to keep me busy for a while! Awesome stuff!

UPDATE:

So it turns out Decisive is pretty much not working anymore.

Finally got a reply from them and they are refunding my money in the next 7 Business days.

This is a blessing in disguise as it allows me to work in my spy work and banner creation.

Will probably start a new Follow Along when i move over to new traffic source.

I would highly suggest you set up your own custom domain in Voluum. The default ones can get slow at times and be labeled as malware...not to mention it looks better

---

Thank you for the advice

Learning something new everyday.

---

I'm waiting for two cmapaigns to be approved on decisive, can you elaborate on the "not working" bit?

---

Hi Mate,

Let me quote their email to me...

I would suggest (like all the rest) to make use of Go2Mobi instead. Apparently MUCH MUCH better than Decisive.

Hope this helps mate.

PS: They do process refunds. They are processing my refund for funds added a year ago.

---

Received the same email and have decided to opt for a refund. Disappointed there was no prior notification of this though.

---

Yes mate, me too to be honest.
