Hello,
I would like to try adult/dating offers in Exoclick and Trafic juncky, but some one please tell me how much i need at the beginning to check the traffic quality.
my offer payout is 5$ per lead.
This is like asking "I buy me a car tomorrow, what´s the fastest the car can drive?".
There are too many variables to give an accurate answer to the question.
How many banners will you test, how many landers?
Will you run RON or on specific placements?
Is the offer proven to work or not?
As a rough rule of the thumb you can calculate: number of offers x average offer payout x number of banners x number of landers landers x 3 = Adspend
Twinaxe is right, it's hard to give you any figure, since we don't know anything about your experience etc ... I wouldn't start on exo btw, or at least not with their RON. TJ has more stable quality across all their sites.
To give you at least some rough estimate ... to just check the quality, you don't need more than a couple hundreds ... $200 will be enough to get a basic idea with a mediocre amount of creatives.
Of course you will need to spend way more to really get anywhere.
