Perfect timing for me, I went into lockdown recently, so I came back to look at this site and did the $1 tutorial the other day.
As I have just dabbled around in the past I’ll be largely quiet.
I should ask though: How long will it take for this tutorial to finish being posted (is it already written up)? 
This is to gauge if I should go through the current version or this new one

The Universe works in mysterious ways!

Thank you for your support!
I would definitely advise NOT to wait for this to be finished - although it will involve more networks in the examples and additional tips on testing etc., the basics remain the same as the current version. Please also read all of @
twinaxe's guides and case studies. Between all those you'll already have all the knowledge you have to start testing (and innovating based on).

Oh yeah, this is amazing timing. I've been reading your old guides, and so far I've learned a lot. This new ones will be great too! I can't wait to try and learn along with you. Thank you, Amy!

Awesome tutorial. This is the exact reason why most people don't do anything at the end.
I am happy to complete the whole tutorial once ready.
Thank you a lot!

Thank you for the encouragement! Now that the "What's Working in Affiliate Marketing" report is released, I can once again focus my attention on completing this tutorial!
Thank YOU a lot for your support!

Your work is simply amazing @vortex!
Do you think there are still money in pops in 2021?
Do you think i can benefit learning from the 2019 tutorial right now or i will be better off waiting for this one to be completed?

There are definitely still people making money in pop! Although it's not as easy to make huge money here as it was a few years back (but then you could say the same about a few other traffic types).
Here are a couple of OTHER reasons why going through the 40-day tutorial could be a good choice for you:
-It allows you to learn fundamentals for cheap: What CPA affiliate offers are about, how to using trackers, how to host/rip/mod/optimize landing pages, considerations that go into optimizing affiliate campaigns, etc. These are basic things every beginner affiliate will need to learn, and since pop is the cheapest traffic there is, the 40-day tutorial will allow you to learn the ropes for cheap.
-Push traffic is still hot this year (read the
"What's Working" report if you haven't), and it's similar to pop traffic. Only, pop traffic requires a smaller test budget because you're mainly testing offers and landers, whereas in push you're testing push ads, offers and landers (i.e. one more variable to test). So it can be cheaper to learn pop first using the 40-day tutorial, then "graduate" to running push traffic - the only extra thing to test, that isn't covered in the tutorial, are push ads - which you'll be able to figure out on your own equipped with all the fundamentals.
And there's no reason to wait. Please feel free to start with the older version of the tutorial, but when you get to the lesson on infrastructure (hosting/CDN) please use the lesson from the 2021 version. The 2021 version also contains new affiliate networks you can sign up to if you wish. Then when I finish the 2021 version you can look over it to gleam the "new" stuff that wasn't in the older version.
Hope that helps!

Hi @vortex the link "Day 10: a)Introduction to Testing & Optimization (Voluum)" is actually linked to another lesson on setting up PopAds and Propeller in Voluum FYI!
Also thanks for this great step by step guide. I'm currently using both the 2019 & 2020/2021 version and swapping between lessons when necessary.

The link in the first post seems to be correct - are you referring to this thread or the thread in the 2019 version? Either way thanks so much for letting me know!
Thanks so much for your support! And please don't hesitate to ask question!

Actually the link is correct. It points to a page with the right title. I think that what @
luciddream is pointing out is that the content of the page does not match the title. It looks like a modified version of day 3-8, and is very different from Day 10 in FunnelFlux /
Binom sections.

There's no lesson for day 4. There are lessons for days 3 to 8 (3-8) because I feel it would take several days to complete. Hope that helps!
