How's it going everyone 'tis lockdown season and what a great time to stay home and launch some campaigns

I got my bat cave all set up and now ready to send it!

UPDATES:
Affiliates: Mobidea and Clickdealer approved. Although don't need to - I got Max Bounty and Clickbank approved as well.

Traffic: PopAds good, PropellerAds account banned, yes what???
Tracker: Voluum, might switch to funnel flux we'll see

Where I'm At

Day 10: Setting Up a Campaign on PropellerAds
PropellerAds account got suspended as soon as I tried depositing money. Turns out suspension is for having two accounts.

I told them I have two accounts because when I signed up, clicked publisher instead of advertiser. So I made another one for advertiser.

The case was reviewed, got a reply from the Legal team after a day and they offically ban me and now refunding the 100$ i deposited.

What a cracker of a start ay

stay tuned..

UPDATE DAY 14-15 Intro to Landers

Silly me don't do what I did and crack onto your affiliate manager even if you think they're cute. If only I listened to Vortex when she said to 'KEEP IT PROFESSIONAL'...

Not messin around anymore!

Anyway I launched some camps a few weeks back for some practice. No conversions, but that's okay, I don't care about losing money. I used to spend it all on ciggies and booze anyway. But now I just spend it on ciggies and Affiliate Marketing. I do miss a





On day 14-15 of Vortex's guide, she says to spend a few days on learning to code. So I did. Problem is I didn't just spend 2 days, I spent 3 weeks doing more lines than a coke head. Javascript is my first, so it's pretty cool to have words like function, methods objects and classes ping around in your head when you go to bed at night.

Like you, I have weaknesses. And one of them is coding.

My strengths are on the softer side... and so when things are about to get harder with stuff like ripping landers or cleaning code...

I'm going to go the non techie option because my strentghs/interests lie more in the actual writing of ads..

So I am sidestepping the hardcore stuff like managing my own server and hosting for the landing pages and building from scratch. For this I'm going to try Landerlab instead for importing ads from Adplexity (bought the mobile plan) and using some cool features like letting you edit the actual page itself without touching the code! And if you wanted to you can access the code editor... And it comes with pre made templates - what a dream!

That's all for now gonna go rip some landers

---

I feel for you man, you are not alone with the coding-love

But it sounds harder than it really is, you don´t need to know how to code stuff from scratch.

A basic knowledge to know a bit about that stuff, that you know what to look for and how to make changes is more than enough.

---

If you import direct from adplexity into landerlab, it is still good to have a look at the code to check if you see some strange javascript that might be design to steal you some traffic. If you just edit using their visual editor, you will not be able to see these scripts. If you use the ready-made template from LanderLab, you are good to go. They are clean.

Heeheheeee coding made me look at things as objects with values and properties. The precision is oddly philosophical almost

Thanks for the tip brother probably saved me some $$$

Day 17: Downloading Landers from Adplexity

My relationship with my AM is a rollercoaster. I send her a message 3 weeks ago. Still crickets. I thought she's a goner so I just leave and start talking to someone else. She magically comes back like nothings happened telling me about her weekends. lol reminds me why I stay single - managing relationships is too much for me.

She gave me a bunch of offers which got approved right away.

I just chose an offer from ZA SOI MOB Iphone 11 with a payout of 0.17. mainly cos it's the only english language offer I had.

Went hunting for some landers with the settings:

last 7 days
running 7-18 days
received most traffic
english
pop

I see it's been tested on properller ads and see a buch of websites that have some traffic.

<br>

Day 18: Setting Up Hosting and CDN
Landerlab just made it simple to set up cloudflare all I had to do was change the nameservers on my domain.

Day 19-25: Fixing Up Landers

Lol CODEACADEMY:
function () {
console.log('Hello World');

}

In the wild web:

function checkZero(a){return a < 10 ? "0" + a : a;}function timer(a, b){var min=checkZero(Math.round((a - 30) / 60)); var sec=checkZero(a % 60); $(b).html(min + " minutes and " + sec + " seconds"); var t=setInterval(function(){a--; min=checkZero(Math.round((a - 30) / 60)); sec=checkZero(a % 60); $(b).html(min + " minutes and " + sec + " seconds"); if (a==0){clearInterval(t);}}, 1000); return false;}$(document).ready(function(){timer(180, ".timer"); dater(".date"); $(document).on('click', '.fb-load-more button',

Da fuq!

After staring at the screen I cut the code down so it looked like this:

<br>

hehe just got rid of the images, some weird looking JS files... replaced with my links. Adjusted the elements on the page via the Landerlab UI. I was just putting numbers in Padding and margin until it 'looked' center lol.

*I know I need to read up more on repsonsive web design cos I don't wanna edit for mobile, then desktop, then tablet... the desktop and tablet keeps changing when i edit the elements of the mobile version lol. It's probably just a little code snippet to go into your header tag from memory.

Threw a favicon in the header tags.

Oh and that CTA had to go as well lol defeats the purpose of finding a good lander but just launching this one for learning value. Added my own text.

Like cmon the CTA was a survey function with 3 questions with 3 different available responses for each. Fk dat shiet for now I'm just gonna add a simple CTA.


Day 26: Optimizing Landers for Speed

wew, got from 1.6 to 350ms yehhhhhhh buoy

<br>

Day 29: Verifying Tracking Etc.

I use smart CPM with a CPM of 1.5 targeting mobile south africa IOS and Android

I made sure I understood the differences between a click URL 'https://track.yolo.club/click' which goes on the cta's on my landers

and a campaign URL: https://track.yolo.club/c3132028-ebfe-4bb0-b6c9-79b3ae5729f2?zoneid={zoneid}&bannerid={bannerid}&b rowser={browser}&os={os}&device={device}&region={r egion}&isp={isp}&useragent={useragent}&language={l anguage}&connectiontype={connection.type}&cost={co st}&visitor_id=${SUBID}

which I use for the traffic source campaign creation

and a global postback URL for my traffic source: http://ad.propellerads.com/conversion.php?aid=820309&pid=&tid=72730&visitor_i d={externalid}&payout={payout}

with all them Voluum tokens heheh

and then there's the s2s traffic source postback URL specific to the offer conversion reporting to ur traffic source. I just set this at default I'll read more into it later.

<br>

<br>

Whew so I got some conversions on the first day. Good to see the thing didn't shit itself and tracking well on Voluum (so I think) it's pop so mostly bot traffic probs. I'll do a bot test and a proper compressed image next time.

Im so keen to write some copy. I'm ITCHING to write long form copy. All these pop ads are just teasing me... goddamit.

Thoughts so far:
My newbie thought on this whole thing so far is it feels like you can't get a good feeling of your audience.
As in sure, you can blacklist, whitelist, reduce increase bidding, change geo's, change offers + landers and whatever. All sounds good.

There's this voice in the corner of my mind that keeps chewing at my conscience because I still feel so far from my target audience.

I want to know more about them. Who are they? What do they do? Where do they eat? What do they read? What are their hopes and dreams?

What keeps them up at night? What does their poop looks like?

If only they could know all this so I can find an offer that improves their life and create a landing that speaks to them in their own words...

Anyway enough rambling

Catch ya lataszzz for now playerszz

You are probably messing around way too much with it.

I am no coder myself so for me it´s also alot trial and error.

What I like to do is to have the code editor (Sublime Text) opened on one monitor and a browser with the landing page opened on another monitor.

When I then make changes on the code, delete files or whatever I save the file and refresh the browser to check if the lander is still working.

If yes -> continue
If not -> re-do last step and continue

I would separate iOS and Android.

Different in performance and bids can be too big to run them together.

You only need postbacks back to the traffiscource when you run campaigns on CPA/CPA Goal or so where the source needs the conversion info for optimization.

For CPM/CPC/SmartCPM campaigns you don´t need to postback the info to the sources.

More important is to make sure that the trackers postback is set correctly in the CPA networks.

Also check your campaign setup again, it´s not working good.

As we can see you spent $9.52 on the ZA campaign on Propeller Ads but Voluum shows only $0.51 which is same as the revenue.

Can you make a screen about your cost tracking settings for the campaign?



One step afther the other, first get your tracking right or you will lose money where it´s not needed.

Apart from that, forget thinking about the target audience.

You are not here to understand them or to make a diagnosis.
You are here to run campaigns and make money and for this you don´t need to know anything about the target audience.

In the end it can be basically everyone who´s surfing online.

Case closed

Ooopsies ... You're dead right! Man im a cooked unit



Hmm this is how I had my cost tracking before




and I now changed it to :




oooo Gotcha



hmm looks good to me





Alright I'm gonna send it for another 10 Dollars so I can go to bed in peace

Thanks brother Twinaxe

---

And that´s the error

This should work

Clickdealer postback also looks good.

Amen

---

I just realized today I made a big screw up with the same campaign twinaxe helped to sort out the tracking

I've been running this offer which clearly does not incl. POP/redirect...



Here's the slot machine lander that came with the offer when u click on offer link:



and the offer page after u run thru slot machine:



Which did get me thinking, why the heck am I using my own Spinner Lander ---> Offer Slot machine Lander ---> Offer


Seems pointless doesnt make sense... would make more sense if you had a Push sorta ad or something... man Im stupid

Why would people click on an Iphone X spinner lander, then go through another sloth machine to win an iphone 11 ...

Weirdly enough I still got conversions out of this retarded funnel... dunno how honestly

---

Just ask your AM if it´s still ok to run that traffic.

1. Sometimes an own prelander works better even when the offers has a prelander already.

2. Sometimes the redirect to the offer pre lander and the pageload time are too long so that an own pre lander helps to cut it to a minimum.

3. Just test and find out what works better

---

cheers twinaxe u need a patreon acc so i can donate some moneys

Quick Update

-I've only been testing one offer with multiple landers lately

-So today tried different netwrk, found another iphonexs offer and used my best lander

-Mobeidea targeting CellC/MTN carrier, 1.40payout running propellor ads On Za, SmartCPM with a bid of 1.5

---

Just send me some benjamins to bigmoolah@money.inc

Really man, the bets reward is when I can help you guys on your journey.

Why only one offer, how did you chose it?
