Newbie Getting Started Problems

Hello, I joined STM a few months ago and have read a bunch but it is all still way over my head. So much so that I am finding it difficult to even get started.

I decided to try Mr Payne's Video Tutorial: How to Quickly Reach Profit Using Afflow and Zeropark. It seems very step by step and actionable, doable for me. But ZeroPark will not approve me so I have been advised to try PopAds instead. So now I must improvise the method for PopAds. I started looking at PopAds setup and I'm just not confident I can set it up properly for this method.

I am so close to finally taking action and have something to work on and start getting some real experience.

I am confident I can pick this up, I just need someplace to start and I feel I need step by step just for the first campaign. I am a technical person and have worked in IT my whole career. I have read the Newbie's First Steps series but I have to admit the foreign GEOS and translating stops me dead in my tracks. I would love to implement Vortex's Make Money with Afflow Arbitrage but again it uses ZeroPark as the example.

At this point for me, I cannot use any guide, tutorial, follow-along, etc that uses ZeroPark because of the approval problem. I would imagine other beginners probably run into this same issue.

I think I'm at a point where I need one of these:



Thanks,
Phil

All traffic sources work pretty much the same, there is just a small difference in the user interface, but it's always about setting up a campaign, setting an url to send the traffic to and pick the targeting options ... I don't see a reason why you shouldn't be able to port the ZP tutorial for any other source. Just try to setup a simple campaign on popads for example, check out the options and go over the steps ... if there is something you don't understand, just ask about that particular step and we will help you.

After taking a few step backwards and thinking about what I really want to accomplish, this idea of trying one of the Afflow Arbitrage methods as my first campaigns is not a good one. It seemed I could just follow some steps and have something to work with, but I quickly found I need a better base of understanding.

I've decided to do what I should have from the start and follow the 40 day Newbie's First Steps. I was hesitate at first because of the cost to implement everything in the guide but I had to ask myself how serious I am about this.

Thanks for the reply Matuloo. It was the last sentence that nudged me to rethink this. At this point I'd be asking about too many steps.

if you feel you need to study more, definitely do it ... just don't let the information overload grow too big on you, at some point, you need to start testing campaigns in real life, that's when all the parts of the puzzle will start coming together. There is only so much that you can learn without actually launching campaigns.

Keep the budgets small and ask here whenever something isn't clear, we will help you

And whenever you feel ready and experienced enough, you can always reapply to our network, we'll be happy to approve your account!
Our rejections serve only for the purpose of saving your money. We have giant amounts of traffic, it is pretty easy to lose a lot without getting any decent amount of data if approaching without any experience in the market.

Thanks ZeroPark! I appreciate the reply and I understand.

You don't need to translate anything if you absolutely don't want to. Subscribe to a spy tool such as Adplexity Mobile and you can rip landing pages that are already in the respective languages.

Direct-linking doesn't work remotely as well anymore, compared to even half a year ago. If you're serious about learning paid traffic, using landing pages / pre-sell pages would be strongly recommended. You can choose to operate in English-speaking geos alone, but do keep in mind that the competition will be high. But if you'd hang in there and do some hardcore massive testing, those geos can reward you big when you succeed in reaching profits.
