Your traffic and your ads don’t match together
Not every offer is going to convert with just any type of traffic.

Whether that traffic you’re working with comes from Social Media, an ad network, or from a Mailing campaign, all these traffic types tend to respond to certain kinds of offers while other matchups aren’t always the greatest of pairings...

For example:
Social Media traffic and Dating offers are a good mix to try.

Social traffic are often filled with other individuals who want to meet other people and therefore they respond well to dating and various hookup offers. The challenge here, however, is that Social networks are Mainstream focused. Adult promotion is frowned upon and in many cases creates obstacles for the affiliate with an account on one of the major social networks.

This could be why the offer you’re working with isn’t converting like you had hoped.

Social Media traffic does offer a world of possibilities to affiliates who are able to think outside the box. It’s a great way to target specific geos.


You don’t optimize

Making money takes work, constant work. From there you will need to try new landing pages, different call-to-actions, new tours, new creatives, and even offering additional ways of promoting…

A/B test your offers
Always reach for more Don’t hesitate to try something new.

Track your results
SubIDs are a good tool you should be using

Make sure you have the best offers for your traffic is one thing but optimizing your traffic also goes a long way.

If you’ve realized that what really works on your site are MILF videos, then your traffic are probably looking for similar offers.


You are not promoting your offers the right away
Do you really know what you're promoting ?

Another really important factor is the accepted countries / geos for a respective offer. Make sure that the offer you’re promoting is actually eligible with the bulk of your traffic.

Always have an offer that accept all geos as a fallback so you don’t lose out on any conversions!

You don’t have enough traffic
Even with the best EPC, if you don’t have the traffic, you’re unlikely to have enough conversions to reach your goal


You're not in touch with your Affiliate Manager

Your affiliate manager are always there to help you. Discuss with them !
The biggest mistake you can make is by not building a relationship with your AM.

New affiliates won't have acces to an affiliate manager right away when they sign up. But if you're serious and you produce results. You can always request one by contacting support.

Some affiliates choose to ignore e-mails from their AM but it’s really in your best interest to read what they have to tell you. There might be something you're missing and they noticed it !


You’re too impatient

One must learn to walk before they can run. And before walking, one must have mastered the art of crawling.

So if you’re just starting out, it’s completely normal if money hasn’t started rolling in faster than you can count. Growing traffic organically and choosing the right ads and the right way to promote takes time.
In this industry, success doesn't happen overnight

One last tip:
Make a plan, and stick with it. Money will then follow!!
 
All good tips for beginners! It would be great if you could emphasise on the setting up for SUB-ID's with postbacks between trackers with some common examples, allot more members would gain value too! For example when I'm trying to track my conversions through my Link Tracker -> Affiliate Network -> Banner ad network it becomes quite tedious!
 
Thank so much for this. the rate at which i always check my adsense is so high. and yet nothing.

At least credit should be given.
 
All good tips, especially the one about adapting your offer to your traffic source.
 
Just hope this will help few affiliates to earn their first bucks $$ :)

Good luck all
