Hi, I am almost new in CPA marketing, before joining here I tested few campaign on POP traffic but never make a profit.
After reading some post here I have decided to start with Push traffic but before creating my first campaign I need some suggestion.
I want to test dating offers or if you can suggest me any other verticals, I want to use PeerFly as my Affiliate network and Bemob as a tracker, Megaoush as a traffic source, also I have DigitalOcean VPS for hosting landing pages.
Now my questions are,
When you select an offer, what you check? how you try to find if that offer have good potential or you select random offers based on EPC/CR and AM's advice?
What is best, testing 1 offer in multiple GEO or 1 GEO multiple campaigns with multiple creatives for same offer?
How much budget will I set for each campaign? I see in blogs many people say 3x of offer payout is good, is this right?
Direct linking or using landing pages will be better? (If LP is better then can anyone please share some sample LP so I can create my own)
After starting the campaign how many clicks will be enough for making a decision that campaign potential or not?
That's it for now, after getting some suggestions I will start campaigns and maybe I will create a follow along also for getting more advice.
Hey cpaKing,
So wev'e been doing Push Notifications for a while now, all of our traffic is direct only, not 3rd party traffic and with awesome prices, oh and of course we got some special promotions for STMer's
So let me just answer your questions from our point of view:
1) Always check the top verticals to run with some sort of support on the network you are planning to buy traffic from, for instance with us, our top verticals are Nutra, Dating, sweepstakes and tons more. But we're always open to sharing the knowledge from our experience from running offers on our own traffic to help you succeed.
2) I would suggest for each campaign create two campaigns with 1 creative for each and A/B test and see the performance for each, that would really help you zero in on what works.
3) Budget really depends on what you are running, for dating and Sweeps where the funnel of conversion is much quicker you can see results much quicker. but for Nutra or CC submit where it's CPA, you need to spend a bit more to really see how the campaign performs, and give it time of course. Patience is a virtue with affiliate marketing
4) Landing pages is again, linked to the offer. Nutra or Crypto/Forex - Most advertisers use pre landers since you need to entice the user with some more info and some more marketing. But for Dating and Sweeps, or in general SOI campaigns, good push creative would be more than enough.
5) I think that always when starting a new traffic source give it a bit more time than usual. Get to know the format, if it's brand new for you. Give it time
Cheers 
Hello cpaking, did you see this post of mine : https://stmforum.com/forum/showthrea...ffic-campaigns
It should give you a few pointers.
When you select an offer, what you check? how you try to find if that offer have good potential or you select random offers based on EPC/CR and AM's advice?
run it via affilitest and see whether you're closest to the source, if you're not ping the source and see whether you can get a deal from there, having even $1 added to your payout makes a world of difference. I would also test a conversion on my device where possible to see that the funnel isn't too difficult. I'm not too confident what the AM has to tell you will reflect reality once clicks start pouring.
What is best, testing 1 offer in multiple GEO or 1 GEO multiple campaigns with multiple creatives for same offer?
logic says that testing a few offers on one geo would be best, i would try to get all the offers in the same niche, what you're actually testing is whether the link actually for a start, then conversion rate, you'd be happy with 1 conversion per offer as long as it's working, that takes much of the guesswork out of it and allows more confidence when you do decide to focus on that one campaign.
How much budget will I set for each campaign? I see in blogs many people say 3x of offer payout is good, is this right?
I believe you can know everything about a certain network if you set your campaign correctly, which means integrating a pixel, not selecting a targeting that is too wide and optimizing daily for bad subIDs or sources. I think if you do the above then $100 daily budget would be more than enougu, i'm not getting why 3x would be good, if you have an app install offer for $2 CPI; where in the world could you setup a $6 budget, and if you could, it can be that one publisher will 'devour' that budget alone not giving you enough chance to test other pubs, so it's not really the budget per offer, what you should be focused on is the budget per publisher or the amount of chance you're willing to invest in a specific subID or placements. For example, in our network, we see over 100k different placements for some of our ad formats, placing a $10-20 budget per a campaign won't give you enough time to optimize out bad SubIDs, but once you get over that part then it will make your job much easier and ROI much more feasible.
Direct linking or using landing pages will be better? (If LP is better then can anyone please share some sample LP so I can create my own)
I come from a media buy background and not affiliation, not that there's much difference but my approach would be to just launch the campaign on what I have, see some potential and improve later.
After starting the campaign how many clicks will be enough for making a decision that campaign potential or not?
push clicks are not cheap, but overall this question appeals to so many different factor it's hard to answer, you can ask your account manager what the average CR for this offer is, do x2 and optimize, in general you already know what you expect from a certain offer and usually CR 0.5% to 5% aren't unheard of.
That's it for now, after getting some suggestions I will start campaigns and maybe I will create a follow along also for getting more advice.
