Shinez - Facebook - $19,738 Profit in 9 days (15)

---

Hey, STM-erms, it will be quick. I wanted to share another result of mine. I am receiving so many DMs from you. Hope this one will also be useful for someone.
I heard about Shinez in 2018 and started to work with them only in 2020. I became profitable from day 1, with no experience. Maybe it was luck. But I wanted to encourage you to do new experiments. Don’t be afraid, you can do this!

Here’s my result for 9 days only.
Revenue: ~$71,000
Profit: $19,738

This is a very cool offer to tell the truth. Even if you’re a total noob who asks your tech teammate to set up everything, you will be able to integrate and run Shinez alone.
I should say that this is a bit seasonal - it performs not so good from Jan to April for those who can’t hold CPC on a low rate, it requires a lot of experience. Way easier to run it in the 3rd and 4th quarter But this is why I am posting it right now - it works really well. I even stopped my lead gen campaigns to switch to Shinez.

This offer is based on classic arbitrage - when your spendings must be lower than revenue. Your revenue is generated from Page Views. You basically bring traffic from Facebook to Shinez.io blogs with Adsense on board. Your goal is to attract fb users to the blog and make this user to watch as many pages as possible. More pages she/he viewed - more money you get.

Ofc, this is a general idea and there’re a lot of details but I was lucky to get training sessions with Leon (AM). He spent a lot of time with me to help me scale. I understood how to keep the ROI and scale from $100 a day to 6,5k a day in spendings with 36% ROI (or 136% ROAS).

All you need is to pick up the article (AM will update you what article is hot atm). Then you need to use spy tools and look for winning concepts.
IMPORTANT: do not copy the existing creatives. It will lead to a Facebook ban for 90%. You need to copy the concept but use photoshop or photo editor apps to make brand new creatives.
It requires a lot of tests to hook up with the right fb audience and later you will understand what type of creatives you need.

I won’t take your time to describe the whole campaign optimisation process, I am still not sure if this post will be useful for you. But I can assure you that Leon will do his best to help you if he sees a potential in you.

Wanted to ask you not to come with silly questions to me. You need to start doing something → fail → and then ask specific questions.

It could be really huge, no caps for the beginners. Facebook can ban you due to content you’re promoting so you will need agency accounts, a lot of ad accounts, actually, if you want to run it on scale at least $1000/day. And do not start if you have $100 only and mom’s fb account, don’t waste your time.

Thank you @cassshy for this article!

(Here's another great article about SHINEz: https://stmforum.com/forum/showthrea...t-monetization)

In order to succeed at promoting SHINEz, one needs to test a SHIT TON of creatives. Hundreds and thousands.

I dabbled with it for a few days a couple of years back - before realizing the amount of work it would require to reach profits. I didn't have enough resources to take away from my focus at the time to give SHINEz a decent shot.

But I heard other affiliates were succeeding with it. And it's a fun way to make money! Just - prepare to have extra accounts at your disposal and be prepared to test a ton of ads.

Guys, do not ask me for intro. Shinez is in public, it's available for all the affiliates. All you need to sign up and follow the simple flow. Then, you don't need an intro for a specific manager. You will need to proof you are able to make it work w/o any help. If they see the potential in you - AM will reach you and help in scaling

@cassshy

Do you create completely new creatives?

I guess you mean using the images from the article and creating a collage ad but not ripping creatives from competitors?

---

This concept is about getting traffic as cheap as possible so new, unseen, creative and catchy creatives are a must. I wouldn't try to copy this from someone else.

Casshy mentions this in the opening post too:

So check what others are running, get inspired but create your own.

---

@matuloo

Well, he is running Shinez articles and they allow you to use the images used from their viral content, so there is no real sense in using other/misleading images that have nothing to do with the content.

I would be awesome if @cassshy could clarify this

---

Is SHINEZ similar to RevContent and Mgid, etc etc? Trying to confirm real quick, you do this as a publisher right?

---

Hard to say man, I've been promoting tons of stuff and I rarely use images that are also on the landing pages that I send the clicks to.

In theory, it does make sense of course but in reality things often work in a different way. On top of that, you can still use a different image and stay on the subject.

It's quite popular in the arbitrage world too, I've seen it times and times again... for example with those "what do these 50 Hollywood stars look like now..." type of lists. The AD would feature some sexy well known woman, while you have to click through 49 pages in order to see her, if she's in the list at all. So grabbing the users attention with an image that's not straight on the first page might actually increase the pageviews count and hence the ad impressions too.

The question is, what impact this would have on the AD ctr rate... and of course, maybe Shinez has some rules on this so it's pointless to speculate.

---

It's not really the same concept, though it's similar in a way.

When using Mgid or the other native networks as a publisher, so someone who runs a website, you just place their ADs on your website and get paid for impressions or clicks. And that's about it.

Shinez is designed to monetize clicks that can come from your website, but not necessarily. You can also buy the traffic on facebook or native networks and then send the visits to pages that they provide you with. This is the main difference, they give you content pages to link to.

Technically, you could try to monetize your website with Shinez, for example by linking to their articles from your content pages or even put some ads linking to their pages on your website. But I don't think this is what they had in mind when building the system. It's more about obtaining traffic in large volumes for cheap, then directing it to their websites/pages in order to monetize these visits.

So similar yes, but not exactly the same.

---

yes, they have a platform with content (articles), so you just deliver traffic to those ones and generate $$$ while ppl viewing pages
