Official STM Native Follow Along Contest 2016 (33)

---

It's GAME TIME! This is going to be a juicy one!

A whopping 57% of you voted for a Native Ads follow along contest.

Not a surprise! Native Ads are the new red hot trend in the industry. Affiliates are diving in head first to get a cut of the Native Ad bounty. Never seen before affiliate niches are now killing it. "Military Grade Flashlights" are taking over the internet!

If there was ever a good opportunity to learn Native Ads, this is it.

This contest is for all levels of affiliates! You win by running a Native campaign, and showing your progress throughout the campaign.

Certain things will give you more points (mentioned below) but positive ROI will not give you any extra points. Thats because this contest has an overall goal which is to see a plethora of Native information through 1st hand case studies (not just profitable campaigns) which in the end will be a learning process for the whole community.

If the potential money isn't a big enough incentive for you to start learning. STM are going to give YOU some insane prizes, in order to help YOU learn.

AWE/AWA All Expenses Paid Trip, MacBook Pro Retina, Coachella, Tomorrowland Tickets, A Personalized Love Poem written by Stackman himself.

Goodluck to all! Did stackman agree to the poem?

---

Democracy didn't really give him a choice.

---

Haha, Mr. Green kept all the prizes for himself. Including the love poem from Stackman.

---

LoL I have noticed its been fixed so I deleted my comment

---

Are any reps from Outbrain, Taboola, Google Programmatic Nativity etc known to frequent STM? My follow along might get a little... dirty

---

I'm intrigued

---

Haha it's highly possible, they may even give you personalized feedback on your campaigns

---

This is sure going to be good.


MMMMMMM

---

Couple of questions:

Does this has to be a CPA camp or could this be an Arbi camp using native? If yes, then my second question would be: can this also include desktop and tablets?

---

I started a follow along already. I can update it with all the required info.

Is there a way I can move a thread over to the "Native" section

http://stmforum.com/forum/showthread...Scaling-Native

---

It can be arbitrage! And yes of course it includes desktop and tablets!

---

Moved and post title fixed!

---

Sounds interesting. Is AWA confirmed for BKK this year too?
Good "luck" everybody!

---

Since you mentioned google native, is it only available to doubleclick accounts? What is the minimum spend there?

---

Ok let's do this!

---

Respects for moving my thread.

---

Damn, its very tempting to do a follow along on native with a twist.

---

Make it happen sir! Nothing like a good excuse to go crazy with an unique idea!

---

Fantastic Challenge Mr. Green I already have a few publishers talking to me about this

---
