My Journey to Becoming a POP Star (5)

12-22-2021 11:49 AM #1 popcash ()

Hello and welcome! Nice to see another updated FA on the forum, I see you have some details up so far which makes it easier for everyone around to help you out with advice.
Hope to see you succeed on your journey, I think you've been a bit unlucky so far with the spent vs revenue generated ratio

I'm curious though, why MY as main focus GEO?
If you're doing sweeps, also consider push notifications for T3 GEOs or examples such as TH, NG, IQ, ZA.. you'll find some of those to be well useful on HAKA as well if I remember correctly.

Hi gringotts

Vertical:
Sweepstakes (main focus)

Countries:
Malaysia (main focus)
Middle east countries (iraq, Jordan...) testing Direct linking on these countries.

For most sweepstakes it´s much better to use a LP.

Get a questionnaire, a spinwheel and a gift box in different languages, that´s more or less all you need for sweeps.

Then I am with popcash about MY.

2-3 years ago there were very good sweep PIN submits for MY but that time is over.

Would also be helpful to know which conversion flow you want to run.

Good geos for SOI are completely different than good geos for PIN submit for example.

Affiliate networks:
Big Bang Ads (Main focus to test landers)
HAKA (Main focus for direct linking Click 2 SMS offers)
Mobipium
Mobidea
Zeydoo
CPA grip
Affiiaxe

Test Big Bang Ads, Haka and Zeydoo and if you want to add Clickdealer to the list.

Other good networks for sweep leadgens could be Gotzha or Frst Media.

Thank you PopCash and Twinaxe for your answers.

Would also be helpful to know which conversion flow you want to run.

My conversion flow is SOI (with LP) and Click 2 SMS (direct linking).

Good geos for SOI are completely different than good geos for PIN submit for example

What countries would you advice me to run ?

Here is the countries that are available on Big Bang Ads:
Europe: DE, IT, FR, ES, UK, PL, SE, FI, BE
Asia Pacific: AU, NZ, SG, MY, ID, PH, TW, HK, TH
Africa: ZA
South America: BR

At the beginning, I wanted to promote offers in Iraq and other Middle Eastern countries, but I haven’t found a good CPA network with these countries except HAKA worldwide offers.
They have a really cheap traffic and can work well

Thanks @gringotts for the shoutout! And a big thank you to you guys for starting this follow-along!

I don't run a lot of pop anymore, but @twinaxe runs lots of pop so you guys are in great hands! And of course I'll contribute where possible.

Pop offers are easy and relatively cheap to test, so I'd say just test them all no matter the geo - as long as your AM tells you an offer is performing well.

And of course if you're wanting to test for cheap, choose low-payout offers.

If your budget is limited and want to narrow down the list, I'd say to stay away from the expensive geos - ZA, NZ, and tier 1 european geos.

Also: Can't say I've had much luck with BR in the past - but that would depend on whether there are good offers on the market right now for this geo.

One tip if you want to test expensive geos: Start with a traffic source that you KNOW have quality traffic, like PropellerAds, and bid low. For ZA for example you can bid $0.55 CPM and still get good converting traffic. If you see profits by all means test higher bids (after doing your first round of placement cutting). If you don't, it's not very likely that the offer would result in profits at higher bids, according to personal experience. (Again, you may find different.)

I've had a lot of success with middle-eastern geos in the past, and not just in Iraq. Here's a list of geos:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o..._by_population

Even the really small geos like Oman and Bahrain can be a steady stream of profits. I haven't run in either geo in ages so don't know if it's true still, but while I was running there, competition was low so campaigns lasted a lot longer. They were small but would churn out profits for months on autopilot.

We are starting this Follow Along to accelerate our learning, to make enough profit to quit our 9 to 5 job and become Digital Nomads, so we can continue our journey from Chiang Mai and Bali.

If you guys can get jobs where you can work remotely - and there are more of those these days thanks to covid - you can start living this lifestyle as soon as now! (Or when the covid situation is better...)

Even if your new jobs don't end up making as much money as your current ones, your standard of living doesn't necessarily need to suffer - check out the average cost of living in Bali and Thailand compared to France:

Of course, this would be a big decision to make. Always have a Plan B for "what if this affiliate marketing thing doesn't work out as planned?"

Have a safety net, then take controlled risks boldly.

For SOI the best geos are probably US and DE.

Other geos with good SOI sweeps are NL, Nordics, AU, PL.

For Click2SMS check African geos, Carribean, LATAM, CIS.

Absolutely correct, you won´t find good SOI offers for these geos but Click2SMS can work good there.

Seriously, Click2SMS together with Click2Call is what gives us the chance to monetize the most exotic geos where no SOI offers are available.
