HI!
I´ve created my own offer as advertiser. It´s a free trial offer on male enhancement vertical. How and where would you recommend me to advertise my offer?
Thanks in advance.
Firstly I would contact the networks who deal with male enhancement (A4d, azoogle etc). Secondly I would browse porn sites (don't tell me you don't already) looking for aff campaigns. Then I would contact the owners asking if they would be interested in running direct with me (bringing home wicked high epcs of course).
I´m not suer if I can afford the initial deposit those networks need. I would like to try it by myself. Maybe trafficjunky or juicyads are good options?
What seems a little sketchy is that you can't afford the initial deposit, which means you might not have the funds needed to pay affiliates on time. Just something that came to my mind.
You do what you can do man, one customer at a time. The truth is you have nothing to offer, anyone with a couple grand can have their own nutra offer, and pretty soon you won't even need that to whitelabel. Last thing you should do is go to the networks, even if you had the money, you'd get raped at those CPA's and with all that bullshit traffic mixed in.
You got the offer, you got the processing, now you have to go build. Affiliates are unlikely, the only people who will be interested in you as affiliates are either looking to send you incent or fraud leads or don't have any ability to send you leads anyway.
There is just so much to know as an advertiser, but you can skip a lot of pitfalls by running traffic yourself even in small quantities. You need to learn what a customer is worth to you first before you know what you can afford to spend and what a customer will be worth to you right now is going to be a lot less than when you start to figure out retention strategies, upsells, and other monetization streams.
Go buy traffic where you can get it, spend what you can, learn, if you stick with it you'll start making some traction. There is no easy way, I watch plenty of guys who have piles of cash end up getting tossed out in a few months with a sore ass. It's a lot of work for sure, but starting with one customer at a time can soon lead to thousands.
I did what a lot of others have done, go to the companies you want to be, buy their products, learn how they make the money off their customers.
^^^^ lol beat me to it... don't go to the networks right now, drive your own traffic. If you do a good job your CPA will be cheaper than what it would on the networks anyway, and you *may* not encounter the cash flow issues you would with the networks. Just get that page and process converting for yourself and your own traffic. Then you'll have some numbers to work with... just get that front end lead flow going consistent and you'll be opened up to a lot of other options afterward.
