Case Study: How I'm able to achieve Massive EPC & ROI with Adult Dating CPA
Hey, am Kostas.
I wanted to quickly say hello and Introduce myself ...
...and I think a good way to do that is to share with you some of my work;
A case study on how I promote Adult Dating CPA offers, in case others will find it useful and/or motivated to run things a bit differently when it comes to Adult (not Just) Dating Offers.
...Not too long ago, I was looking to diversify my online businesses by adding another income stream.
I’m no one special. But I’ve been smart enough to earn a full-time independent living online since 2010.
I’ve done a few things right (and a lot wrong), so I’ve seen a whole lot of the good, the bad, and the ugly. The evolution of now a decade plus(!) online...
...And am not getting any younger!
Anyhow, I’d been pondering getting involved with the CPA Affiliate Marketing scene for some years.
But for some reason, I've never gotten into it much. I knew the basics. The ins and outs but had never really given it a shot.
So when I decided to get into it, I initially looked into promoting Nutra COD offers. I did alright but the Adult vertical appealed to me more 
May be (another) reason why the adult vertical appeals to me is because of my IM background and that I always tend to build my own lists.
I strongly believe that having your own traffic is the most important asset in this game.
And I thought the Adult Lead Gen offers would be great to make some easy money and also to use as the bootstrapping platform to build my own lists in that vertical.
So I started promoting a few adult offers and at the same time started building my own traffic source(s).
Here’s some early results…
And here’s a video I made for a friend to show him some really early results with email.
(Note: This video was not supposed to be public. I usually don’t sound like a gangsta IRL. It was on purpose making a bit of fun with my friend 
)
And here’s some screenshots showing what I was doing initially…
Below is one of the Landing/Squeeze pages I used that got me $1.67 EPC (see further down for pic) on an adult lead gen offer!
And here’s a screenshot of the email server I setup to collect those leads...
Note: You can’t use commercial autoresponders like Aweber or Get Response for adult type traffic)…
Once I saw the potential with building my own email traffic source, I started taking this traffic building approach to the next level.
I literally went into “traffic sources building beast mode” and wanted to build and monetize every visible and invisible list I possibly could!
So on top of building email lists…
I started building Push Notification lists…
And Invisible Lists...
Like Facebook Pixel Lists..
And Google Remarketing Pixel Lists
(Note: I built those invisible lists to promote soft dating and other related offers like holiday packages, marriage counselling 
etc, as Adult offers are not allowed on Facebook Ads and/or Google Ads)
Even traffic that didn’t go for my Landing Page “bait” ”, I was monetizing it sending them to Smart Link offers via exit pops.
And here's some stats from that ...
And some Exit Popup Conversions ...
As you can imagine, soon my combined Lists building approach started to have a compounding effect.
And I started getting days like this…
And This...
And This too...
And soon, days like this...
And EPCs like this...
That whole multi-combo attack on building my own traffic sources-assets worked like gangbusters!
And I didn't have to risk any Facebook Ad accounts or use questionable black hat methods that only work (if at all) for a while.
So that's it. A bit long for a first post.
But anyway, I hope you find this of interest and motivating so you can get into adult dating vertical with a slight different than the norm approach

BTW - Back in January I've made a video that demonstrates the above (in smaller scale).
It's a 7 min video or so, shorten version of a 40+ min one.
It shows me in action and how I...
... Get 5X more conversions (than just direct linking),
... Raise the EPCs (compared to direct linking),
... Add 80+ Email Leads,
... Add 80+ Push Notification Subs
Even with Tiny Ad Budgets like 20-25 bucks... in less than 1 Hour!
Note: In that video, I don't spend any time researching the offers (as I'd normally do). I just select a few based purely on the pay out to compare results with direct linking to an offer and my method.
You can Watch It Here if you like
(No need to optin or anything to watch the video)
Great case study. I am starting in adult offers, so thanks for sharing!
a big thanx to you for sharing this case study..
Motivating read, thanks for sharing!
Awesome case study! If it's not the secret, where did you buy traffic on the first step?
Btw. Nice introduction on STM
thanks for your comments all.
Glad it's a motivating read for most...
Thanks for sharing, very inspiring.
Brillant ! What Exit Pop tool you use on your screenshot please ?
Thanks mate...
I use popup maker.
This is the link to the website for the tool (not an affiliate link - just tracking for stats)
You'd want the gold package as that's the one they got the exit intent tech you want with mobile.
Generally speaking, the tool is what I'd call a CPA friendly tool. Meaning that they understand how CPA works and they have the right display options (combinations, soft, aggressive modes etc).

Nice post man, building lists and the audience is definitely a good idea.
I'm so guilty of not doing this properly myself
Thanks for sharing your approach!
Just updated main thread and added a video (at the bottom) that shows in a nutshell the method I use and the results I get even with very low budgets.
