"It Only Takes One Campaign" Really? (11)
Hey guys, hope you all doing good 
I have this question in mind that I want every successful affiliate to answer please.. especially the mods.
Is it true that "It Only Takes One Campaign" to hit it big?
I know everyone has his own path to success, and it may varies from one affiliate to another..
You may advice me to go through the Success Stories Section, and I already did that.
I just wanna know how true the sentence is.
Thank you all!
One campaign is the breakthrough for everyone... But you should approach that sentence as what it is - a tagline.
That said, there are one-hit wonders and affiliates who can consistently build successful campaigns.
In some cases, with everything aligning, one campaign can certainly be very big and make someone 7 figures. That's much less common these days than 4-5 years ago but when you build profitable campaign after campaign, the results can still add up.

some people get it wrong btw , so what does that sentece mean is you need to try so many (sometimes really alot ) of campaigns to find a green one, it's green , then scale it, whatever number you can make from scaling it , it will die for sure, so what comes next is what we mean by saying "it only takes one campaign" , now after that winning campaign , you need to just re-do what you have done with that campaign and you will start to build green campaigns faster. PERIOD !
You can (and probably have to) test many different campaigns and then suddenly you find your working combination of geo, lander, offer, bid and volume and you have a winning campaign.
Then this campaign will compensate the cost you had to test all the other campaigns and still makes you good profit.
But it´s not meant that you only need to find THE golden campaign that then will run forever and make you the big moolah.
Much more importan than finding the one campaign is to be able to run continuous profitable campaigns.
To be longterm successful in the biz you need to have a solid understanding how to test, optimize and scale campaigns over and over again.
It doesn´t help you to have one lucky shot when you can´t replicate it later again.

But that first campaign is crucial and you will remember it forever as it changes everything.
Guys above me pretty much covered it all, just wanted to add a bit of personal experience of mine 
During my AM career I realized that nothing lasts forever... every campaign dies at some point, every single offer stops working at some point, certain traffic types tend to get regulated or disappear ...
So technically, it's not even possible to hit 1 campaign and then run it forever.
On the other hand, I had campaigns that were so good that I really could live just off of them, honestly. Sometimes a single campaign brings in enough profits that you really don't need more of them running.
In theory, if you really find the perfect offer and funnel, scale it hard on all sources that you can work with... you could retire just from that one campaign (the question is if we should still call this one campaign, as it would actually be multiple ones running on various sources... but you get my point, I believe).
But to get back on earth, when I look at the past few affiliate years of mine... most of the time I was running multiple campaigns, significant part of them were short-lived and I had to keep on launching new ones all the time.
So to sum it up, you can surely "hit it big" with just one campaign, but it will die at some point anyways and you will have to get back to launching more of them

Oh man!! I love the way you all super affiliates answer our questions.. you cover every detail and that's the spirit of a true marketer i guess.. Thank you
It takes only one campaign after you have studied and researched, and created a successful angle / offer / lander combination. This is extremely hard to do on your first try, but once you get the hang of it your chances of hitting a big campaign increases. So don't think that even if its just one campaign, its easy or can be done quickly.
