From newbie mistakes to $$$$$ campaigns: Voluum Push notifications (3)

---

These are the things I see happening in your follow alongs all the time. They cost you time, money and keep you awake and in front of your computer as your mind can’t shake the fear of everything going south.

But from my point of view, they are easily preventable and don’t really have to be part of the game.

I haven't said much about it for some time now as I didn’t want to spam you, meantime collected all of the materials to create one post out of it, this is the end result.


Scenario #1: You set up your campaign incorrectly

The way to make sure your setup is correct is to get your first conversion. If you got one, you can get more.

Another thing is to be aware if an error occurs in your campaign.

What to do: Create the first custom notification to be launched when the number of conversions exceeds 1. Set a time range that you expect is enough for a conversion to occur – you don’t want to wait forever to realize that you have made some affiliate mistakes. Additionally, create the second custom notification to be launched when the number of errors in a given campaign is more than 1.

What will happen: Once you get the first notification you can rest easy knowing that your setup works fine. The second notification will be sent if your setup is not working correctly. You should react quickly when you get this notification.


Scenario #2: Your offer goes cold

One moment your offer is converting like crazy, the next it is dead as a suicidal Dodo. The conversion rate plummets to the ground, people see a 404 error after they clicked your ad, your costs go up and your revenue stands still.

Offers do die as offer’s owners can stop them or kill them without any warning.

You need to keep checking if at least some conversions are happening.What to do: Create a custom notification to be launched when the CR is below 10% and a campaign has spent more than 100$ within a given time frame.

What will happen: This will tell you that your traffic is still flowing, but your offer has suddenly stopped converting.


Scenario #3: You waste your traffic

When you have your campaigns set up and running you move on to testing.

And you definitely should, but you also need to keep in mind it costs you your money. You don’t want to keep pushing traffic to offers that just won’t convert.

You need to set yourself some minimum goals. Goals such as “I won’t pay for more than 100 visits if my test campaign hasn’t converted at least once”.


What to do: Create a custom notification to be launched when you get more than 100 visits but with no conversions within a given time frame.

What will happen: The time range is your testing period. If you get this notification, that means that your hypothesis is not valid and you should try something else. Change some traffic targeting options or adjust your lander. But at least you know that you have to do something.


***
Voluum push notifications 🔥
I predict it's the #1 tool to help you stay ahead of the game and save $$$ in the process. You’re notified on both mobile & desktop when something crucial for your campaigns is happening.
