New To Native! (Help Please) (5)
Hey guys
I'm Jonny, new to the forum and looking to get into Native ads...
A quick background on myself, i'm not new to affiliate marketing, in fact ive been involved in email marketing for over 10 years now, 5 years full-time,
promoting many offers in different verticals, however it's all been via email.
So, i have a decent background in affiliate marketing in general, but native is a whole new ballgame for me. I've never got
involved as i've always thought of native as super expensive, and you need $1,000's to test what works or even breakeven.
Anyway, i've been digging alot around the forum the last few days, i have a pretty good understanding of how native works
now, or probably the absolute basics. It seems like there is a lot involved, so my idea is, get everything setup, trackers, networks
etc etc then go in head first and just get a campaign setup, collect data, learn and improve.
So my questions are:
1. I have literally no idea which vertical to start with, or which type of offer as in Lead Gen, Ecom products etc, i really don't know.
So where would you suggest a newbie to native start, which kinds of offers?
2. There is so much info on this forum, it's amazing, but are there any threads that are a MUST READ for a newbie native guy, stuff
that I should really know about, or is it a case of just going through lots of threads within the native section?
Appreciate your help in advance 
Cheers
Jonny

Thanks man
@jonnybalfour - that's a heck of a name - sounds like the quarterback prom king in some 90's teen movie
But yeah, welcome to the forum man!
Natives are fantastic! I used STM to learn about them myself when I first started 1.5 years ago. Lots of great threads. Definitely read everything from @thedudeabides, and then also look up each network by name and read all the threads that contain references to it.
And then I would heartily recommend the James Van Elswyck course(s) as well
Haha thanks man, i've never had anyone comment on my name haha!
Thanks also, i'll check out those sources, so much insanely valuable information in here, you could spend 6 months solid reading it all ha
