Offer payout - how low? (5)
Hello,
I know low payout offers can be profitable but question is how low payout should I accept? For example I've found $0.1 offers for Asia. I know it will cost me less to test, but could money be made with such payout?
Thanks
Hello, the minimum viable payout level depends on the GEO and the price of traffic. Its not possible to generalize it just like that. It also depends on the conversion flow, the easier it is, the lower the payout can be.
To give you some numbers you can work with, the lowest payout I ever got profitable with was 0.07, it was a 1-click pin submit offer in a GEO where literaly NOBODY competed against me. So the traffic was almost free. This almost never happens tho, and I usually dont even consider offers below 20 cents anymore, even in Asian geos. Even with cheap GEOs, I like to see the payouts around 30-50 cents or more.
@matuloo Thanks a lot! Worthy advice 
For more information on low payout offers - please see the section "Won't higher-payout offers make me more money than lower-payout offers? Should I avoid low-payout offers?" in this thread:

Matuloo has addressed a lot of the considerations already. The lowest payout offer I ever promoted with success is a $0.12 offer. For some of the tier 3 geos that have a ton of cheap traffic and high conversion rates, even a low payout offer can make you xxx/day on a good traffic source (assuming the offer is amazing and your lander is decent).
In summary, a lot of factors go into the calculation of ROI and payout is only 1 of those factors. So if the other factors are favorable then the resulting ROI can still be high.
