Hello STM, hello AM (7)
Hi, 1 month ago I joined STM. I have experience running ecom stores, videos, paid ads, email, content, copywriting, website building, optimization. Right now jumping into AM, doing pop traffic. I am looking for sweepstake SOI leadgen offers that pay up to $5. What would you say to your younger self affiliate dreaming about xxxx/day camps? 
Hello and welcome to the forum anacona!
May I ask what are your motives to drop eCom and move into POP and sweeps?
On one hand, POPs are likely the perfect training ground for anyone starting with paid traffic, but on the other one, the future is elsewhere and eCom might very well be it 
For example, TikTok is growing rapidly and eCom people are having a major party over there right now! And since the source isn't that saturated yet, it's very possible to make solid returns there, especially for those who have their own products.
If you really want to change focus and jump into POPs, make sure to read every recent thread from @twinaxe and look at PUSH traffic too
See you around,
Matej.

If you're experienced with ecom, videos, and copywriting, I would recommend that you try your hand at social (e.g. Tiktok, FB, etc.) or google (including youtube). Pop and push involve a lot of ripping and running and testing massively and doing everything with speed. Not a whole lot of innovation is involved in terms of advertising angles, copywriting, and learning to sell in general.
Plus, with social or google, profits potential is so, so much higher than for pop/push.
Not trying to hard-sell anything of course - feel free to keep running pop for a bit, or progress to push (which is similar). We'll be here to help!

Any tips on running sweepstakes on pop (efficient testing, LP, efficient optimization, efficient funnel)? Can you share some affiliate networks for sweeps? Thank you. I will post my campaign progress tomorrow when I get recommended offers from my networks. Will appreciate help. Have a nice day.

2. Start a follow along once you are ready to start some campaign, or even if you get stuck in the process and we will help you along the way. You need to get your hands on a live campaing and start with the setup process, because it's hard to understand the whole process without doing so. Check this follow along for inspiration: https://stmforum.com/forum/showthrea...ion-to-Make-It Lars is sharing some golden advice at the end of it.

Last but not least... you should seriously consider push traffic for IT and ES.
For pops lower tier geos might be a better and easier starting point.
P.S. the 40day tutorial is gold in many regards --> worked for me and many others
