First Campaign - Follow Along
Hi all, I am pretty new to affiliate marketing but looking to go all in on it.
I have set up propeller ads, Mobidea, and Voluum according to Amy/Vortex guide (Thanks for that guide!!!) and have tested multiple offers from my Mobidea affiliate manager. After testing about 10 of them I found one that is about break even with doing very little optimization.
However I am having an issue moving forward, as I don't know how to check the process/funnel as well as the end product that I am promoting! Ive tried visiting the link on my pc and phone, but neither go to a "video subscription" or anything like it. Here is the offer and the link.
Offer: 14018 - Videos - PA - CW - Deskarga: YouTubers
Link: http://lations-kleamsgid.com/07180436-b637-41a3-b407-b3ba014346c8?zoneid={zoneid}&campaignid={campaigni d}&visitor_id=${SUBID}
I also would like to move to the next step and create landing pages for this mobile offer, once I find out exactly what it is. I have adplexity already and know how to make landers. But I am so confused at the moment as to what I am offering, how to check, and what exactly is next.
Any advice or info would be greatly appreciated, and I will continue this follow along as well. Sorry if this is a stupid question!
Thanks everyone, this forum is awesome.

Try turning off "safety fallback" in the "advanced" tab on the offer page

If the offer you are pushing is a proven one which has been pushed by other affiliates previously you can easily check on Adplexity how this offer has been promoted and borrow some of the landing pages used with that same offer.
Copy the offer’s destination URL then search By Advertiser and select All of the above in the search in box.
You can also view how similar offers are being promoted and use their landers as well.

Thanks for that advice, I will check that out now.
I have another issue, I am trying to run $50 of traffic at ~$5 CPM but still only getting 1k or so impressions. Ive set the daily budget and overall budget to $50, and set it to run for 2 days. Is there something else that I am missing?

What is the amount of estimated traffic you were supposed to get? Might be that the targeting is way too narrow. Did you select very specific devices or operating systems?
Panama is quite a small geo by itself too, there is not a lot of traffic. Check how much traffic the ad network has for this GEO in general..

Very nice toughdumarketing! Thanks for giving the tutorial a run!
You've already gotten valuable advice from stacking and platinum and Mobidea. Here's my 2 cents...

As
Mobidea has pointed out, PA is a small geo so if you're just targeting one carrier then the small volume is expected. Coincidentally I talked about this in the lesson I published just yesterday:
https://stmforum.com/forum/showthrea...ON-amp-READING
It would probably be worth your effort more to focus on larger geos, but I'm not saying to never touch small geos. If you find an offer that converts very well, and scale to the biggest sources that have more than a little bit of volume, the small camps can potentially make profits for you for longer than the usual campaign. This is mostly due to the lower competition and therefore volatility in performance. My favorite example is I once had a campaign that targeted a single carrier in BH, that was making around $40/day in profits consistently on autopilot, after minimal optimization, for many weeks. I never would have guessed that carrier traffic from one carrier in a country with a population of 1.4 million people would make anything more than single digit profits a day.
You can try scaling to other traffic sources like Zeropark that may have more volume for this carrier.
I also would like to move to the next step and create landing pages for this mobile offer, once I find out exactly what it is. I have adplexity already and know how to make landers. But I am so confused at the moment as to what I am offering, how to check, and what exactly is next.
Regarding landers - they are a double-edged sword.
On the one hand, they can pre-sell visitors, so that when they get to the offer page, they're more likely to convert.
On the other hand, because having a landing page adds another step to the funnel, it will decrease the amount of visitors that will see the offer page.
Whether or not adding a landing page would result in higher conversion rate, will depend on 2 things:
1)How much pre-selling the offer requires.
2)How effective your landing page is in pre-selling the visitors.
Video subscription offers with 1/2-click flows don't usually require a lot of pre-selling. I think it's basically a case of the visitor seeing the graphics on the offer page and thinking "hey these videos look interesting - CLICK!"
This means there isn't a ton of room for a lander to increase CR by enough to offset the harm it does by requiring the visitor to go through one more step (of clicking through the lander).
However, don't let me deter you with what I've just said. I HAVE seen landers that work great with video subscription offers. All I'm saying is, be prepared to do some testing to find a lander angle that works.
Best of luck! Looking forward to seeing what you can do!

Thanks all, and thank you for the article link Amy, it answered exactly the issues I was experiencing/going crazy about
Just got approved for another round of offers and about to test them - I have another Adplexity question though:

I have attempted this but have yet to find the offer, for example right now I am trying to Spy this one:
Offer: 14293 - Games - EG - 3G + Wifi - GameStore: Adventure Time
Offer Link: http://www.rotationurls.com/offer/128731|14293?data1=Track1&data2=Track2&tag={clicki d}&website={subID}&placement={sub_subID}
Destination URL: http://eg.game-store.mobi/wifi.php?k...&productId=336
I've tried putting all three in and searching by advertiser (as well as the other search options) and have even tried just
http://eg.game-store.mobi/
Is there something I am doing wrong, or have all of these offers I've tried this with probably been too small for other AM's?
*EDIT - I of course was able to find it right after I posted this, I used "
eg.game-store.mobi" in the search bar and found one. If I am doing something wrong though or could be doing this better please let me know.

You can also search for just game-store.mobi. You'll get a few more results. But then they won't just be for the Egypt part of the store though.
https://mobile.adplexity.com/search/...d&order=newest
Basically, if you go narrow in your search for landers, you'd be restricting yourself to fewer landers, but save some money on testing them. If you go broad in the search, you'll get more landers - your chances of finding a good one would be higher, but it would also take more money to test them. Pros and cons.
