Follow Along $1 Guide - from Vortex (Could really use some help)
Hello stm!
First try at affiliate marketing
I started following the guide followed all the steps:
So i started by targeting geo's my AM recommended and that was the result:
(If there is any data missing that i can provide that will help you help me i'll be glad to add)
The budget was 3$ and i set up my max bid to be 0.0003$
After i saw the result i decided to leave out all geo's marking in red (not the ones that have more than 3 conversions)
And i added 3$ more raise the bid to 0.000315$
I played around with it because i saw the stats in PopAds and it sayed "recommended bid for 50% more traffic"
so i just went with it.
This was the result:
(the geos marked with red are the geos i took out after the first round-just didn't do the report so well)
I decided to leave out Saudi arabia this time it didn't seem profitable(maybe it was a mistake let me know what you think about it).
this leaves me with only Colombia and united arab empires
spent another 4$ for those two and sticked to the same bid =0.000315$
and the result was:
Which i'm really happy for i tried to stay awake and see the result but failed! but in the morning i realised i made a profit! (even if its 1$ i expected to loss all 10$)
Now for the real question Which one of those geo's is more profitable?
Colombia has made me more profit but United arab empires has a higher ROI ?
I really tryed to understand from https://stmforum.com/forum/showthrea...op-Running-Ads and used the calculator but i really dont understand the numbers or if it is the method i need to use.
I would appreciate any help thank you in advance!

PART 4 of the guide follow along:
I decided to go with both Colombia and United arab empires and made a different campaign for each of them following the guides instructions:
raised my bid from 0.0003 to 0.0005 for a total of 2.5$ each for campaigns and started them at the same time.
(PIC) Can't make a report of the exact time i ran the campaign will upload it if i find the way.
This time i lost money?
That's weird considering it was my 2 profitable geos from the last test the only thing changed is that i separated them and bid 0.0002 higher can that be the reason i'm in a loss this time?

Just see it that way, when you spend $1 with 100% ROI it means you have $1 profit.
When you spend $10 with only 20% ROI it means you have $2 profit.
On low volumes it can be good to optimize for high ROI but for higher profit it´s mostly better to run on high scale with lower ROI vs low scale with high ROI.

This means that your offer has to convert good enough to stay profitable even with more expensive traffic.
Higher bids also increase volume and open new placements so that you need to weed out the non converters to increase the ROI again.
You will see such behavior in future campaigns as well, that´s just normal and is part of the progress
