Hello, guys!
My old follow-along is no longer relevant and I made a new one.
So my goal is $10k per day until 2017.
Who am I?
My name is Dima. I am 19 yo. I have been working for 5 years in AM, but in Mobile only 1 year. I made my 1st million when I was 16
And after it I understood that AM is my life...
My story: http://stmforum.com/forum/showthread...-success-story
So now I work with:
- Pops
- Banners
- Native
Verticals - AV Pins, Sweeps, Dating, Installs, Nutra.
In this follow along I will write all my tests (only new) and all my thought about it.
P.S. My Skype is mrbraun31 and fb is https://www.facebook.com/mrbraun31 (Feel free to write me and ask some questions. I will give you some tips when I have a free time)
Let's go!

#12.07.2016 Report
Today I had a very bad internet and I could not in any way to get started. But in the evening, I pulled myself together and started a new campaigns.
Source: Propellerads.
Vertical: Anti-Virus Pins.
GEOs: ID, FR, IT, UK, MX, ES, DE, RO, MY, AR, CO, AU, AE, PE, NG, NL, PH, CL, SG. BE, GR, EC, CZ, NO, LT, KW, CH, DO, JO, SE.
Target: Smartphones & Tablets, Android, iOS, BlackBerry, Win.Phone.
Affiliate Networks: ClickDealer & Adsimilis.
Lander: Scarry with Google.
Total: 30 campaigns ($15 limit for each campaign)
Source: Juicyads:
Vertical: Dating:
GEO: US.
Affiliate Network: ClickDealer
Target: Smartphones & Tablets, OS: All mobile.
Total: 1 campaign ($100 budget for campaign)
Why I chose this GEOs? Don't ask, I don't know. I want to run as much as possible GEOs and try a lot of offers (Yes, I set all the offers in split which I can find. I have 1-20 offers in 1 campaign. The popular GEO = A lot of offers.). So now campaigns are on moderation, I'm going to sleep. I will do analytics tomorrow.
Nicely done! It's always exciting to see someone mass-test offers. And yeah - that google antivirus lander will do some damage for sure. It's the best of all the popular ones out there. But to use that lander, one would need to either run offers that allow aggressive promotion, or cloak which will come with its share of risks. Looking forward to seeing your results!

Nice!
I'm deff going to be following this!
Looking forward to the first updates on your results. If you made your first million by age 16, expectations are very high to see BIG numbers!

Turned off the iOS https://monosnap.com/file/XHJdiB9hLP...PCOgfRcfW01qhf
So I work with it on.
For other campaigns I don't give the report. There are a little spent, or until there is nothing to analyze. As you can see, only one campaign at once gave me the green ROI, and it means that you should always be ready to spend a lot of money for tests. I add to split all Offers which I found on this GEO + Vertical.
I thought you were banned here (as it was on other forum), but i was wrong. Hope you won't give access to your account on this forum to all your learners (it was the cause of your ban on forum that you know). Good luck!
Enough of the back and forth banter guys, save that for Skype. I want to learn more about the two campaigns that hit GREEN!!!!
I thought you said you were only spending $15 a day on the propeller ads campaigns? Did you see green on the initial investment and up the daily budget immediately or was your $100+ spend after day two of seeing promise? I was told by an affiliate only to up your budget massively if positive ROI can hold consistent for 3days straight. Something tells me you're going by a different set of rules.
How many landers did you test per campaign? Are you using your own unique landers of just taking the one's you see on spy tools?
Great work
Oh haha I just wanted to ask you how you made 1 million with 16 as all I did at that age was smoking pot and playing world of warcraft haha but then I saw it's not $ 
You have good ROIs so getting that campaign to $1+/day is just a matter of scaling. I'm from russia too so I wish you good luck, don't drink too much vodka.

what is BY 

1kk RUB was ~30k a few years back. ruble tanked in the past years

So I have 2.5 times more campaigns. For the rest, or spent little or insufficient data for analysis.
What was your scaling method for campaign 4 and 5. Did you narrow it down to 1 one offer and 1 lander then up your daily spend?
I'm following! keep it up!
Good luck, following this one.
Hey guys! A new report will be soon! 
I just search a good Affiliate network with Nutra offers and BizzOpp. Can you please recommend me some? 
Thank you!

Hey! I think you want to know what GEO gave me so good ROI?
So... It was MX. Offer on Adsimilis (23159) AVG 1 Antivirus - 1 click flow [MX] (Now offer is not active)
Targeting was:
OSs: All
Browsers: All
WiFi+Carrier.
Land: It was a very popular land from adplexity. You can find it in 3 minutes.
So I started to test MX from Propelleards, Set to the split all MX Antivirus-Pins from Adsimilis and ClickDealer, but only 1 offer gave me 400% ROI. So after a couple of hours I set only this offer and scaled my campaign to Popads. And in 3 days I got about $1100 (the cost on the screenshot is not right) http://prnt.sc/c2pt1h.
1. Always test a lot of offers, you'll never know exactly what offer will be the best
2. You can run 1 lander for all geos. Just translate it.
3. On start run campaign with big target.
4. I optimize pubs after offers, landings, target. If pub gives you -40% ROI, after optimization of lander and target this pub can give you +80% ROI.
5. If you have a very good green campaign you should run it in other sources (It was my mistake, I just relaxed
)
P.S. I search good offers for: EG, LATAM, SA, IN, ID, TR, CN, PK, CO, EC, CL, DZ, AE, BD.
Hi Mr Braun. Quick question (& congrats)...
With antivirus offers, do you ever see wi-fi traffic to outperform 3G traffic?
Thanks.
Wow, very good ROI. Keep up the great work mrbraun 
what does 'pub' mean in this context?
also when you test an offer initially, is your budget dependent on the payout? you seem to be starting testing with $15 across the board?
When you test offers are you only running 1 lander to gauge if the offers convert?
You said that you find the best lander and translate that to many geos. But when you're mass-testing offers are you also testing many landers too? Or are you only using 1 lander to see which offers convert?
Right now I do 3-5 landers per offer but it's hard to tell if the offer is bad, or if the lander(s) are bad, or if both are bad!

Hey mrbraun, amazing stuff thank you! A few questions for you if you don't mind:
1) I'm not sure what you mean by work with pubs and when you'll work with them?
2) Along those lines, what do you mean when referring to BL and working with it?
3) I see statistics metrics such as confidence, T. Clicks, etc. in your screenshots that I'm not seeing in
Thanks for sharing and all your help!
This is awesome and extremely detailed. Thank you - Chris
Hi, mrbraun,
I found that pixelk can not know a lot of mobile brand and model, how do you solve this problem?
thank you.
Fantastic post!
Great motivation for me, who trying to make pop traffic work.
I've few questions if you don't mind.
1. How is your workflow day-to-day to be able launching 20~30 campaign daily?
2. What do you think of pop traffic now? Do you still recommend pop traffic? Competition is fierce and bid is high, low bid will make me get low quality placement and high bid will make ROI even worst when testing offer lander combination (based on my newbie experience).
3. I need your advice... for someone who already know few things about optimization but still can't make pop traffic campaign profitable do you recommended stay on pop or change traffic source? I'm used run Adwords campaign for local business owner.
Thanks
mrbraun, awesome awesome thread, extremely helpful. thanks so much for adding value to the forum!
P.S. Sent you a skype request, would love to ask a question about the market in Russia.
