Mobidea Opportunities (5)

---

Hi,
While following Vortex' 40 day tutorials, I'm seeing 0-$12 Revenue in the Opportunities tab for the sweepstakes offers that an AM recommended. Does it mean the amount of people are making?...

Even for a test purpose, the compensation doesn't seem to really justify the time, effort, money invested in about $500 worth tools? Any income/success proof as a result of following the tutorials?...
What'd be the typical or optimal realistic results I should expect to get out of this tutorials other than learning experience?...

Are iphone sweepstakes still viable? So far I got accepted into Mobidea, Maxbounty, Leadbit, mylead.global and can't seem to find low payout sweepstakes with Direct billing, SOI/DOI.

Most offers with Direct billing, SOI/DOI seem limited to 1 or 2 geo meaning it'd not be scalable even it turns out to be a winner... Any suggestions?

Fyi I just ran a pop campaign for iphone giveway for $10, click2sms, Egypt, landing page in Eng, 1 conversion x $0.24.

thanks

One tip, from what I read you should really work on your mindset.

You seem to worry alot if affiliate marketing works or not and when you have too many dounbts it will have an impact on your progress and eventually success.

When you don´t believe in it and more or less expect to fail anyway then you probably will fail.

The right mindset shouldn´t be underestimated

Now to your questions.

What exactly do you expect now?

Of course there are many people who made and make money with the help of the tutorials.

But these are not people who follow the tuts blindly to a T.

The people who succeed are mostly the people who use the tuts to learn, to understand and then test test test.

And yes, it´s also normal that you lose money in the beginning before you see real profit.

That´s just part of the game.

When you are clever you still can get a full biz running with much less spent and in way less time compated to other jobs.

Let´s do a quick check, what did you do already since you started your affiliate marketing journey?

Jowe many offers did you test, how many landers did you test, how many campaigns did you run, how much did you spent and how much revenue did you earn?

Based on what I saw at STM, some of the most successful stories seem to be - $120k revenue, Profit: $22,356.99 total for 2 months, a result of a super affiliate, and another case study of someone who joined Charles Ngo's program and claimed to have made 5 figures/day and then said the campaign died quickly doing 4 figures/day afterward, $1,000,000 Revenue/year(probably about 20% in profit?) by rob_gryn.

I've been expecting a roadmap to more of a 30-50k/day in profit based on a few super affiliates' talk on Youtube, some of them speaking at an affiliate conference. I did 6 figures last year with a monthly subscription selling social media services/platforms, average about $220/customer/month and now exploring better/bigger opportunities to either make a lot more cash or something more sustainable or sellable.

So I'm currently taking a step back to figure out the game plan connecting the dots over the gaps between my expectations vs what seems achievable based on the information I saw here so far...

While CPA doesn't seem to have the recurring income model other than maybe nutra based on my research so far, I was expecting more than what I earn with SMM... Fyi I tried 2x$10 iphone sweepstakes pop campaigns so far, about 10 landers, one conversion of 23 cent, not seeing a solid evidence of any meaningful end results of this type of campaign, I'm just currently trying to figure out the blueprint of those 5 figures/day guys... I guess those people are just exceptional or don't share their stuff in this forum?

Thanks!

PS Also curious why this newbie forum seems pretty quite? seems I'm pretty much the only one posting questions recently...

There are some patterns that you can see on all forums out there...

Most people don't post at all, they read the info, some decide it's not for them and leave, some stick around for years, but never really post anything or a very limited amount of times. I really don't know why it's the case, but it's like that on any forum, majority of the members base remain silent and just lurk around.

Then there are people who join very motivated, start posting a lot, then fade away.

There are also many people who start posting heavily, ask for all the help they can get and eventually succeed but then stop posting as they want to retain their privacy and don't want to share their "secrets". Affiliate marketing is a very competitive business, so people prefer to keep certain things to themselves.

And I could go on... people are diverse and there is no reason for a forum to be different, we're not all alike

I guess I already answered your question above, but let's dive deeper into it. Most of the newbie questions are already answered on the forum, most of the newbie members choose they way of reading around and looking for the answers. Some people prefer to get an answer faster, so they start a thread and ask about it... both approaches are fine and we do our best to answer any question that get's posted.

There is no blueprint like that out there. Just like there is no blueprint on how to build another Microsoft, Amazon or Toyota. But there are courses or schools for entrepreneurs, managers, CEOs... STM is the school for affiliate marketers, we can teach you how to start, what to do and what not to do, what the options are, how to start and how to scale etc... but in the end, it's up to you and what you do with the information.

There is no course, in any industry, that would take you from zero to 5 figures a day, step by step... nothing like that exists. It's always just tips on how to get there if YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES and are willing to work for it.

Part 1 of the problem.

There are so many "Gurus" out there who tell it´s easy to make $xx.xxx/month or so and mostly they just want to sell some stuff, courses or whatever.

Let me give you a better idea how it really works.

This is why I asked in my last post.

You didn´t test anything but still expect to make 5 figures a day.

2 campaigns are way too less and how do you plan to make 5 figures a day with $0.23 payout offers.

Do the maths

Just for comparison, I sometimes test dozens of offers a day, sometimes 150 offers or so a week.

I run hundreds of campaigns simultaneous.

Yes, it is possible to make good money in affiliate marketing and yes it´s possible to run it longterm for a living.

But it´s real work, it´s no "test here and there and get rich".

Unluckily many of the so-called Gurus want to show exactly that lifestyle and the hard awakening happens when people realize that it´s not that easy peasy.

When you want to succeed you have to be busy, you have to be smart, you can´t be afraid to spend and to lose money, you need to learn and understand the stuff, treat it like a real business and test test test test test .

Ask yourself, do you rather want to fall for exagerrated promises with no chance to succeed where you often also have to pay lots of money for overpriced courses or are you willing to put real money, energy and work into it and learn how build a real longterm buiseness from scratch?
