$1 Guide Follow Along Update

Hi Everyone.

I'll be using this thread to update my progress and ask for help and your opinion as i journey through the world of Aff Marketing. As advised by @vortex, @twinaxe and @matuloo.

I'm currently going through the $1 Guide.

I got accepted To Mobipium, i chose the PN All Landing 186 as recommended by @vortex, and my AM.

I did set up a Tracker for the stats on BeMob and i was able to set it up and link it to both Mobipium and PopAds, as i'm also going through the 40 days tutorial by @vortex. So i learn how to use trackers and set it up.

Though first campaign with the 40 days guide ended in a -100% ROI but as said by @vortex, it just to learn the basics and not to make profit.

However i set up a campaign for the PN All landing 186 on PopAds, still waiting for approval (its been some few hours though).

I was not able to run ads for these Geos FR US DE AE AU GB, PopAds said for security reasons maybe because i live in Russia, those Geos were not available for me.

For now i'm waiting for my campaign to get approved, after that i'll give some more update.

I think @vortex will have some kind of deep spiritual knowledge and understanding, just saying though because of the name VORTEX.

Thanks everyone for your help and contribution.
Special Thanks to @vortex, @twinaxe, @matuloo for your contribution to us NEWBIE.
Thanks for reading, more update to come.

UPDATE
My first campaign ended in a -55% ROI on day 1

as i can run only 3 Geos BR (-85% ROI), SA(-100%ROI) and CO(-28.5%ROI). I couldn't run other GEOs recommended by @vortex and my Mobipium AM.

However, after i drilled down the datas on tracker (BeMob), i realized i could still save CO(-28.5%ROI). After my optimization i removed some OS, removed BR and SA, blocked some region from CO, blocked some websites, i blocked some language, i added some websites and region to whitelist, i was able to optimize CO from -28.5%ROI to -1.9%ROI on day 1.

However on day 2, i now have +102%ROI it's midnight now in CO so i'm getting no traffic, when the traffic resumes, i'll update more.

Hey Michael, good idea to start a follow along.

To keep track and learn directly from the campaigns you are running is mostly much more helpful than just reading about campaigns from others.

Though first campaign with the 40 days guide ended in a -100% ROI but as said by @vortex, it just to learn the basics and not to make profit.

Sure, it´s better to start slow and keep the risk low to learn the basics first.

When you want to go all in from the very beginning you only risk to lose too much money so better start in a rather save environment first.

I was not able to run ads for these Geos FR US DE AE AU GB, PopAds said for security reasons maybe because i live in Russia, those Geos were not available for me.

Haha really?

For security reasons you can´t run in these Geos?

Don´t worry, there are enough others to choose from

Btw, when you are in Russia and maybe not too far away from Moscow you could check this one -> MAC

I know that you just start your AM journey but could be interesting for you anyway.

Yea, i was blocked out from Mostly Tier 1 and some Tier 2 Geos (I think it's because i live in Russia)
Thanks @twinaxe, i'll check it out.

I have some latest update.
PopAds really take long to approve campaigns my other optimized campaign has not been approved for almost 10hrs now.

Here's the update

Hi @michaelfaye sorry for the late arrival! Any further updates?

That push smartlink is great and converts well. However, with so many people following the guide and running the same thing on the same traffic source, it has become somewhat saturated. Also, the recent chrome browser update may have negatively affected the conversion rate of this type of offer.

But you have the right attitude in treating this as a learning tool and not a money maker. Even if you're running at a loss, running offers with such tiny payouts can enable you to test stuff and learn lessons very cheaply. So if you're wanting to play with this type of campaigns for a bit before moving onto the 40-day tutorial or something else, you have my blessings (not that you need them!)

I think @vortex will have some kind of deep spiritual knowledge and understanding, just saying though because of the name VORTEX.

I take that as a very nice compliment! Spiritual knowledge is exactly what I've been striving to gain more of. Still have a long way to go but enjoying the process and trying not to be attached to the speed of progress.

Thank you for your comment!

Amy
