Finally! (50)

Finally!

Well . . . I finally had a solidly profitable day.

Just crossed $1000 in revenue today, with 30% ROI.

It's all Facebook. All dating. Spread over 6 countries. Lots of optimization work and testing offers.

In the last week, I created 35 CPVLab campaigns, about 50 FB campaigns, and used the results of over 600 images that I've tested to identify a top 25.

I'm hoping I'll get a few days at this level while I continue to scale and test other campaigns.

100% of the credit goes to this forum and my awesome affiliate managers! There's no way I could have done it without the help.

Thanks!!!

Congrats.

It's a lot of work to learn, but honestly considering how much work it takes to become a Dr. for example it's quite easy and makes WAY more money once you figure it out.

Good shit man.

Dating on FB is probably the easiest thing to hit x,xxx-xx,xxx/day rev on.

If you've got access to a cloaker, PM me and I'll give you a few tips on how to scale really fast.... that is if you're not afraid of 'bending' a few rules

Show us some of your ads that FB approve but still get decent CTR/CR ?? Im sure some of the folk here would love to see some examples.

11-05-2011 05:53 PM #20 boomachucka (Member)

That's great man!

It seems like every time I drop in this forum I see a couple more threads of people hitting that magic 4-digit daily number. It's great! Congratulations!

11-05-2011 09:16 PM #21 emcomcorp (Member)

Congratulations! This is good inspiration for me since I also making a transition.

11-06-2011 01:33 AM #23 inversion (Member)

Thanks for all the congrats. I expanded rapidly this week, hitting my first $2k spend day and just missing a $2k revenue day by a hair.

Oh my how things heat up with you are spending that much a day! :-)

Hows things going man? Are you hitting new heights again?

11-14-2011 10:24 PM #30 inversion (Member)

No new heights yet. I lost a profitable campaign and saturated another, so volume is down, but I've kept ROI in the single digits (+/-). I haven't done much the last week since I was in LA partying like a Rock Star. (THANKS TO XY7!!) I got home today and am setting up campaigns to get the volume back up!

Here are pictures of me with Paul Stanley (KISS), Vinny Apice (Black Sabbath, Dio), and Rudy Sarzo (Quiet Riot):

1) I started making a profit when I focused on one thing that I knew was working for other affiliates (i.e., dating on Facebook)

2) I read everything in this forum about dating and Facebook (yes, everything)

3) Lots of trial and error

4) One of the most important things I learned was how to limit risk. With paid traffic, you generally lose money a lot faster than you make it. I've gotten into the habit of watching my campaign statistics like a hawk, and scaling back bids / budget when I'm not able to.

Watching like a hawk means every hour, I check my total income for the month (using StatsRemote) and my total expenditures for the month (directly from the traffic sources). I use the monthly number because it helps me see larger trends. (Losing $50 in a day isn't bad. Doing that 20 days in a row is very bad.) If my total profit number dips down significantly over the course of an hour, or it is trending down for 2-3 hours, then I will drill down into individual campaigns to find out where I'm losing money. Once a day, I track impressions, clicks, conversion, revenue, CPC, CVR, EPC, and ROI for every campaign I'm running in an Excel spreadsheet.

The other thing that has been huge factor for me has been developing workflow.

Congrats! that's for the advice....I love success stories but what's even better that success stories are tips from those success stories.
Once again thanks for sharing and keep up the good work.

were you cloaking bro?

Technically, yes, but practically, no.

I do run through a cloaker, but my fake link actually goes to the real offer page. (The cloaked link goes to my CPVLab link.)

The only reason I cloak this way is to ensure I don't have any country re-direct issues (i.e., the network sees the reviewer is from a different country and sends them to an offer wall), and so that I can strip out reviewer clicks from my stats.

With that said, all of my campaigns are above board, and could just as easily be run without a cloaker.

It's all about testing and trial and error - the one who owns the most data, wins!

Yes. Although I've had some rather painful bumps along the way, revenue is consistently $1-2k/day now, and I hit my first $2k profit day this month.

04-19-2012 11:59 AM #43 jlfarley (Member)

That's crazy, I was at that party at the mansion too! Although the guy in the Pepsi shirt got me in. He is one of my best friends (not involved in internet marketing)

Small world!!!!

@inversion like a bauss!

@manish this forum will teach you affiliate marketing, but people will not tell you exactly what they're doing.
