I need motivation (2)
Hi all! I'll tell you my brief history with affiliate marketing.
Recently I joined this forum and reading the case studies I was very motivated to start and when I want to achieve a result I put 100% of my energy and my time into it. And fortunately now I have a lot of time since I am in a period of pause from my studies, work etc..
2 months ago, after seeing various guides and tips; I asked to the various AMs best sweepstakes of tier 3/4 geos. I downloaded 2 LPs from Adplexity and I made 2 others manually. I launched my first campaign : Sweepstake offer advertised with Push Traffic.
After $100 spent on Push Traffic, I had just 2 conversions. So I thought there were some issues and I had to start buying less traffic to see if the campaign converts or not.
I changed Affiliate Network, I asked same thing to the new AM and I ripped 3 LPs, and did 2 others manually.
Finally, the new campaign is working: after $30 of Push Traffic, I did 13 conversions (payout $0.50). But with this new offer I had another issue: I set up the tracking badly so I could not see the data to optimize the campaign. I fixed it, I tried to do a conversion and all worked well. Now I could track conversions to optimize the campaign.
The day after I restarted the campaign, I bought others $30 of Push Traffic and when I returned home, I saw only 1 conversion. Since the same campaign before did 13 conversions, I thought it was an issue of time of day.
I restarted the same campaign to the same hour of the first time. I bought other $30 of Push Traffic and only 2 conversions.
Now I don't want to give up. I'm thinking of switching to other types of offers on other traffic sources, but I think that if I read that the best combo of the moment is push traffic with sweepstakes, what happens if I change vertical and type of traffic??Even less conversions and more money spent for nothing??
After spending a lot of money on subscriptions, guides, programs etc. now I have a very limited budget and the more time passes the more subs expires, and more money I lose. I don't want to give up because I love Affiliate Marketing but I have to think well about how to continue. And now I find myself lost. I accept and really appreciate everything: critics, advice etc.
Thank you all for your patience. Bye.
Hey, not a pro in push but it seems like you're onto something... 13 conversions? bro I just launched my first campaign yesterday, paid $100 in traffic and got, HOLD TIGHT, 0$ back! 
lol
Just lost 100$ didnt even get 1 conversion. im not even close to quitting or stopping tho. And you're getting conversions and whinning that you're gonna stop? cmon man ! you're clearly doing something right I would just keep launching campaingns and im sure eventually something will stick 
good luck bro!
