Hello

-It is 2017 
-Budget: $2000
-Knowledge: Photoshop, also I used to work as webmaster, so technical things does not scare me; i read a lot of threads in STMForum, never done CPA, but i do email marketing, and 3 or 4 FB campaigns to promote amazon products.
- Language: Little english, Good frensh, and Excelent arabic

So after read some of the most hot Threads/tutos/tips/case studies in STM, i got confuse, as they said "

When too much information becomes overwhelming, AND YOU END UP DOING NOTHING 

".
The truth is that i really don't know where to start, i scare to make the wrong step into this industry, also i love to make a decision based on your recommendation and advices.
So, i have some question, to anyone that made XX/day or more:
1- POPs, PPV, PPC, Social Media, Mobile ..... Adult, Dating, Gaming, Install, sweeps
Please what are the best combinations of (Traffic source / verticals ) that will be wise to start with in 2017?
2- VPS, Dedicated Server, CDN, Spy, LP Services, tracking... Please what are the most recommended tools (only necessary) for start "sites/plans" if possible?
3- A strategy for lunch/optimize a Campaign, as How many offers to pick, how many angles?, How many Ads to create for each angle?, what to change first "headline or images", how many LPs to create, what to change first in LP "headline, description, images, call to action", also what to test first Offer, or Angle, or Ads, or LPs ...?
4- you can add any advices here
Thanks in advance

Hello Miharbi, here is what I'd recommend for you as a starting strategy :
1. POPs (mainstream) or Banners (Adult) - both work in 2017. Focus on PINs (carrier billing offers) for now. Signup at Kimia (mainstream+adult),
Read more about PINS here : https://stmforum.com/forum/showthrea...o-promote-them
2. Choose a hosted tracker for this,
3. This strategy works well for PINs : http://stmforum.com/forum/showthread...-of-my-methods
4. Focus on less developed countries, stay away from Tier 1 countries. Asia, Africa or Arabic countries can do well now.
Good luck ! 
Hi miharbi,
Welcome at STM. You made a great decision.
The tips from matuloo are golden, but also consider to go through the guides from MrBraun. You can learn a lot about Pop Traffic there and how you set up these things.

Also, start a follow-along. It will help you to get success in your process.
Have a good day,

1. Easy way to start for you = pops, CPI offers @ MENA region, Stay away from adult it's one of the most competitive niches around.
2.
From end tracker:
CDN: KeyCDN
Host: Liquid web
3.
There are a lot of funnels to learn and each affiliate have his own favorite ones, Check Charles NGO blue print on his blog you can apply at step 1.
4. Pick 1 niche and 1 traffic source, focus on them only until you master it, then you can try others.
I am Sorry for the newbie question Matuloo, but i wonder what is the effective way to create my landers:
A- Create them in HTML/CSS... and host them in my VPS?
B- Using a "LP service" and send the traffic to the given link (which mean the LP service host the page)?
C- Using a "LP service", then host the page i build there in my VPS?
Thanks in advance
I am not a big fan of using a service to host LPs. I host them either on my VPS or a dedicated server and in case they are static ones (no server side scripts like php) I usually just upload them to a CDN.
Here is a guide about using CDN for you : https://stmforum.com/forum/showthrea...light=simplest
And yes, the best way is to use plain HTML with as few code as possible. In case you have access to some spytool, it's always good to grab a few from there and then tweak them to your liking.
