Hello Everyone,
I have been studying AM since last few months. During those months, until the day I joined STM, I only learned: Offer + Traffic (CPC> Bing) = Profit.
I joined CB, tried a health related offer but could not convert.
Since I have made up my mind to make AM work no matter how long it takes, I ended up joining STM to learn stuff in a systematic way and in an environment where I'm surrounded with experts.
After reading the newbie threads, I have made up my mind to test Pin Submits and Sweeps as these Verticals are said to be newbie friendly. But further reading started to mess with my mind because there was no mention of traffic sources such as Bing Ads. This is what forced me to create this thread.
Here are some of the questions in my mind:
1- What networks should I join for such offers?
2- Traffic Source: PopAds or Mobile Display? Does Bing works for such offers?
Comment on something specific to Pakistan will be highly appreciated.
PS: I have Design and Dev background, so server and front-end stuff are not a problem for me. I also blog on regular basis as well.
Looking forward to the input from experts around here.
Best,
Adn.
Hey Adn,
Pins and sweeps are a good choice!
They surely can work on Bing too, but you must be sure that you follow their terms and conditions, otherwise you can risk your account.
As you are starting out I would recommend you to try pops/redirects or maybe mobile display.
There are many traffic sources around for pops, you can start with Popads, Popcash, Zeropark, Adcash, Propeller.
Regarding affiliate networks, most of the top networks have these offers: Clickdealer, Mundo Media, Yep Ads, Mpire.
Your dev background is great, it will help you a lot in the beginning, especially with understanding and setting up tracking and servers.

Hey Erik,
Thank you for sparing some time to respond to my questions... Notes Taken.
I just started my second day at STM... And ready to join some new networks first.
So far I have learnt to not try Bing/Adwords/Facebook as a beginner and should stick with PINs & Sweeps through Pops/redirects.
PS: Would you advise a follow-along thread?
Thanks again.
Adn
Here's one of the best follow-alongs on sweeps + pop:

Here are other good ones for pop - although not just on sweeps:
