Hi! Just Started Investing.... No Conversions what to do? (3)
Hi
I just started investing in Affiliate Marketing. Please help and guide me what to do......
I am using affiliate network CPALead.com and advertising the direct affiliate link on popunder ads.
Campaign #1
Offer - Sign Up Offer
Bid - 0.001 (USA)
Budget - 5$ (Stopped after 2$ Because no conversions)
Payout - $0.68 CPA
Campaign #2
Offer - Mobile Sign up
Bid - 0.01 (USA)
Budget - 2$
Payout - 1.25$
No conversions what should I do....
Should I change the advertising network or affiliate network?
Hello, hgarg604!
Welcome to the amazing Media Buying adventure!
I’m gonna ask some questions so that I can help you better: a) is campaign #1 for desktop and #2 for mobile? b) what’s the category of the offers you’re promoting? c) do you buy Wi-Fi or mobile operators traffic?
I know that – given the fact that this is your first campaign – you’re probably scared of losing money. Don’t worry, though! Your campaign’s budget is important and you need to spend some cash at the beginning in order to gather a reliable amount of data to optimize and earn money.
While setting the budget, you need to take the payout of the offer into consideration. Let’s try to understand this looking at the example of Campaign #1. Imagine you get only 3 conversions: you’d earn 1,95$ and would be almost breakeven (even more - you’d have profit.) My advice? Don’t pause the campaigns immediately so that you can get enough info.
You also need to check the position of your campaigns on your adnetwork. This will influence the quality of traffic you’re getting (the higher your bid, the better quality traffic you’ll get).
Moreover - as you’ve mentioned you’re working with popunders – I’d like to suggest you try banners. Their biggest advantage over popunders is the number of opportunities to optimize your campaign: with this option, you can test different banners on your campaigns and see which ones convert better or have the highest CTR, which you can’t do with popunders. In general, you’ll pay more for popunders, as they require a higher minimum bid value than banners (this depends on various factors, such as your ad network, GEO, competition, etc.) and have a lower volume, which makes them harder to optimize.
You should test countries that are less competitive than the US. I’m thinking about countries in Latin America or Asia. Trust me: in those countries, you’ll be able to get both data and conversions faster than in the US!
Good luck!
Cheers!

In the starting phase, you simply WILL loose money, you need to accept this as a fact.
The offer can also be bad but there is no way to tell right now, you didn't spend enough.
