Drive: Native Automation Platform - official thread

Drive out of beta

This is the official STM launch thread for Drive: Optimize your native CPA campaigns.

Drive supports RevContent/Content.Ad and integrates with Voluum.

We were in beta for the past 4 months, adding an impressive number of features and stabilizing the system. Some highlights:

  • An affiliate from Vietnam found widgets that accounted for over $400 in spend wasted on bot traffic - the day he signed up
  • A US media buyer turned unprofitable campaigns profitable within days of using Drive's widget auto-blocker
  • A user in Australia was able to run with higher budgets, and find new widgets, because the auto-blocker limited the money he loses on bad widgets
  • Some more quotes from our users: "game-changer for native"; "a necessity"; "you sleep better!"

Now that we are out of beta, we've designed an exclusive offer for STM users: 20% discount to the first 20 stackers who sign up with the coupon code "STM-20".

What is Drive?

Drive has proven to be a unique and necessary auto-optimizing tool for native - saving money and time for anyone running native CPA campaigns.

Drive is already managing almost $1M of monthly spend with users from all over the world - US, UK, Thailand, Singapore, India, The Netherlands, and many more.

Widget Auto-Blocking
Auto-block widgets/domains based on custom rules. Drive runs all your optimizations 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, every 2 minutes.

Auto-Bidding
Calculate the optimal bids for targets and domains

Widget List Management
Convenient blacklist and whitelist management

Day-Parting
Schedule bid changes and campaign pause/resume, for different days of the week and different hours

Reporting
Accurate per-widget spend and visits (crucial!); campaign spend and revenue all in one place across campaign, target, creative, and widget
* Did you know? Voluum/Thrive show inaccurate visit and cost estimates that can be off by 20-40%. Without accurate spend and visit numbers for each widget, you are flying blind.

Security
Drive encrypts your data with RSA (same tech used by banks) for maximum security.

Competitive Pricing

Support
Great level of support, including Skype access to our developers.

Just waiting on the Thrive integration. When that's done will you open up spots again?

Also need clarification on how we're charged. Starter package manages up to $20K spend. Does that mean it only counts the spend of the campaigns that we choose Drive to manage? Or does it count our account wide spend regardless if we choose Drive to manage the campaigns?

Yeah, only what Drive manages is what you get charged for.

I've been running Drive for almost 2 weeks and it does what it says on the box. It's vastly reduced the amount of time needed for campaign management and has increased profitability and volume of my running campaigns. I've got loads of time freed up to work on new campaigns and other areas in the business. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone running on Revcontent or Content.ad.

I started learning aff. marketing in Native. I struggled for 2 or so months with Content.ad. I got into the Drive beta at the same time I started a revcontent campaign. The auto blocking through drive made the campaign profitable in 3 days and it is still cranking away to this day. This is a really powerful tool and I think it will be industry standard very shortly.

Also - The founder of Drive is very cool. He really listened to us beta testers and is always adding features on request. He just added day parting for me so I didn't have to get brax.io too :P
