Things I learnt from the $10K spent in RevC (You won't believe what happens next!) (8)

1: If you want it quick, spend more money. My offer is $70 including upsell. The data doesn't mean nothing if I spend $100 a day. I have to spend 5x-10x payout to make the split test work.

2: US is very competitive. Avoid it if you are on a tight budget.

3: Celeb and gossip, Humour are shit topic. Don't run there.

4: Vertical > GEO > Offer > Creatives > Lander

5: Very hard to get a high ROI. Negotiate a weekly payment from the ad network, or you will have problem on the cash flow.

thanks for your share.

Good tips, although I've actually had some success on the celeb and gossip topic. Humour not so much although I haven't really tested it much, but I always hear it's garbage.

Nice tips man, did you also ask your AM for a blocklist ?

There are some good placements even on the shit channels. However it's not really worth the time to go through hundreds of placements to find the golden nuggets. If those placements are however found via ad-intelligence or part of an AM whitelist I wouldn't shy away to run them just because they belong to a bad channel.

I messed around with RevContent last November and ended up spending around $200k with them. Overall, I don't think I would recommend the network. There is without question huge potential but you really need to know what you're doing and have the time/money to dial in your campaigns. It was just too much effort for me when I was seeing the same results on other networks with literally 10x less ad spend. I got a free Amazon Echo out of it though, so that's cool

Some of my suggestions:

1. Not worth using for USA traffic. It's pretty god damn good for cheap traffic elsewhere...Canada/UK/Aus/Brazil/JP/etc.... are all viable. To put it in perspective, my CPAs on USA were around $35-$40 on a good day. I typically saw $15-$20 from the other demos

2. The finance/money/wealth category performed surprisingly well for me. I wont say what niche I was doing but just know that it's something you would never in a million years expect to perform well as a native ad on Forbes....

3. Don't put full faith in your AMs...they are commission based...work with them to get your campaign off the ground (they generally have good direction with regards to initial blacklists or whitelists) but do all your fine tuning on your own.

4. Don't be afraid to push the envelope when it comes to the TOS on RC...these guys don't give a shit about anything but money.

Would you care to say some other sources that have provided quicker results?
