Ok so ive spent the last week reading on the forum every day from sunrise to sunset and from reading everyones advice and guides (big shout out to matuloo! I mustve read your guide on understanding tracking like 10 times) have devised a very basic checklist and gameplan and would like to ask for some advice and guidance for what i have written down here. Its time to take action and actually run campaigns and collect data. (and im prepared to be in -ROI for my first handful campaigns, whatever it takes to gather correct data and scale my profitable ones.)
1)I have been approved to 6 affiliate networks with great reputations so far in one week (mobile based, adult based, and general)
2)my next move will be to purchase a domain at name cheap to host all my LP's and banners and i will be hosting on a VPS server ( Beyond Hosting)
3)I have been familiarizing myself with trackers and the tracking guides and have made a firm decision from playing around with the demo, and watching countless tutorials and reading recommendation after recommendation that i will be settling with
4)I have asked my AM's for the highest converting, highest volume offers in the verticals of MOBILE(CPA and CPI), ADULT, EMAIL SUBMITS, GAMING.
Everyone here seems to be insistent on sticking to one or few verticals and one or few traffic sources before bouncing around, so i want to place my main focus on
MOBILE and ADULT
5) For Mobile and Adult, I will be running traffic and placing my focus on the following sources Go2mobi and Exoclick.
6)I will then start with 3 of the easiest highest converting offers in each respective vertical and split test GEOS (staying away from Tier 1 and 2 for now), Banners, and Landing pages.
7) I will be using PHOTOSHOP for my banners, and INSTAPAGES, to create LPS.
8) I will aim to launch at least one new campaign a day testing and tweaking, and not stopping my campaigns untill 2-3 days are up or the $50 limit is reached with no conversions.
9) Then Cut the losers, scale the winners, and continue tweaking and launching new campaigns everyday.
10) If after a certain amount of testing the offer is not converting, I will scrap it and move on to the next offer.
For now I will leave out the spytool unless someone HIGHLY recommends it, it would just be pushing my budget.
Do i have the right idea? Can i ask for some guidance and suggestions please to add to my plan. Ive spent the last week on here like a madman devouring as much as I can. I am naturally action oriented so getting started is not a problem for me, but I want to make sure my warplan is on point before running in and making any uninformed decisions.
YOUR HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!!
