Best Strategy For Small Budgets? (5)

Best Strategy For Small Budgets?

Hi guys,

I was wondering what the ideal strategy would be for someone trying to make AM work on a small budget ($500-$700 a month) as of September 2019?

For the past few months I've tried running white-hat leadgen campaigns on Facebook, but I've been having some customer service issues with FB that have hindered my ability to run my campaigns and have left a bad taste in my mouth for Facebook. I have been considering some alternative traffic sources (click the link in the last sentence for that discussion), but I'm concerned that running leadgen on another source might be prohibitively expensive for my budget.

In order to fully weigh my options at this point, I would like to ask you guys what strategy you would recommend for small-budget affiliates at the present time. Please list traffic sources, verticals, anything that you would recommend me to do to get my AM career off the ground on my budget. I appreciate any suggestions or comments you might have to offer.

Thanks guys!

Hey! SO first thing first were talking about a daily budget of between 16$-23$ - It's not a lot but it's not nothing. FB and Google is by far much more expensive in comparison to let's say Push/Pop/Banner. In the end it's a Trade off, Google and FB can give you pretty much the most targeted traffic you can buy today, But at a price. When you buy ad formats like Push or Pop the prices tend to be lower but they might not work as good in comparison to Google and FB. But with your budgets, it might be a better solution to buy these ad formats.

I'm from AdMaven, we have mainly push and pop, regarding verticals we compiled a short list of the type of offers that work best on our traffic and on push traffic in particulater, it's things that from our experience simply work best on push, and there is a whole section about push and all of the major networks are here and have bonuses for STMers (we got a 50$ bonus on your first deposit, i think most of the networks has similar offers)

This are our verticals: https://bit.ly/2KqrKfA

Hope this helps

Ddi you try push or pop traffic? These 2 could be great fit for your low budget.

I'm really at a crossroads between FB and Push or Pop right now. I think I'm gonna try another campaign on FB, but I might do Push or Pop if I can't get it to work.

TBH Facebook hasn't been that expensive for me. What's really angered me is their piss-poor customer service. Currently, my account's disabled because I didn't warm it up enough (I don't use the social networking side of FB). I'm still waiting to hear back from their customer service, even though it's been well over a week.

I'm going to try another campaign using a family member's account. If I can't get it to work, then I might try Pop or Push.

Thanks for your answers. They really help a lot.

Stick to a traffic source is my advice. Jumping from source to source is good for learning, but giving FB that little chance will probably not be enough.

Same for push and pop, although those are different ballgames where each need a different focus/approach.
