From where you are acquiring traffic?

Because it is a ChatGPT response.

It is a norm these days to post such generic information threads by Jr. Vips to promote their related services.

I'm not saying OP is up to any of such schemes but I've seen more than one thread that are just generic information.

good analysis. the post looks nice from afar. once you start reading, its obvious chatgpt style writing with nothing to take home. lots of AI threads on bhw recently...think mods said they're OK with it. conveniently op is selling a course on media buying. hopefully its not 79 pages of more chatgpt.

[uncutu]

is maxbounty like maxweb?

just as yahoo is like bing. both maxbounty and maxweb are aff networks. both have their differences and similarities. expect different offers and payouts. there's hundreds if not thousands of affiliate networks out there.

 

[uncutu]

sure, do they have common point? Is the only similarity name?

they have a common point that they're both affiliate networks that have offers for you to promote, and advertisers to serve those offers.
think coke vs pepsi. 2 brands. not related to each other. just similar name. catering the same product.

 

[Sheenue]

My man has great results from the start, hm.

Of course it's not like that in real life, you will get minus 50-90% ROI when you start testing random offers from max bounty on Propeller.

Also if you track clicks in excel sheet it would be really challenging to optimise your campaigns lol

nice share bro

It feels like reading gpt with enriched visuals.

Don't get me wrong, you've put more efforts than the average joe but it's still a generic guide (made via gpt) in an attempt to promote your signature.

Your guide contains nothing about what really makes a good offer. How to filter traffic sources (bots will eat your campaign in a matter of hours without a blacklist) etc. etc.

In as much as this can be machine-generated information as some people have said already, I think the OP spent time in other to add value to it.

This is giving such bad looks for you if oyu're selling an e-book, I've seen his ebook before and though of buying it maybe, but when I've seen that basic posts even are written chatgpt it just turns me off. Bad marketing campaign in total

I always personally believe that CPA is one of those few fields in IM that can turn this:

into this:

If… you use it the right way! ; )

Let’s see how I’ve achieved the above result with my CPA campaigns recently. Here’re the steps that I’m following not only for this campaign but for all my campaigns.


Intro:

Picture this: a mere $217 transforming into a remarkable $1953 in five days. In this thread I’ll show you the potential of CPA marketing when coupled with meticulous planning and execution.

Through rigorous A/B testing and data-driven insights, our protagonist fine-tuned campaign elements to perfection, ensuring optimal performance and ROI. And the results? Nothing short of extraordinary – a staggering $1953 generated in just five days, all from a humble $217 investment.

Ok let’s get started.


Campaign Summary

Start Date: April 28

End Date: May 2

Offer Type: Single Opt-In (SOI)

Offer Payout Range: $5 - $45

Affiliate Network: MaxBounty

Traffic Source: PropellerAds

GEO: T1, T2

Ad Format: Push

Total Spent: -$217.63

Revenue Generated: +$1953.24

Net Profit: +$1735.61


Step 1 - Pick A Good CPA Offer

In the dynamic realm of affiliate marketing, choosing the right CPA offer can make all the difference between success and failure. With a plethora of options available, selecting the best CPA offer requires careful consideration and strategic thinking. So, how do you navigate this maze of possibilities and pinpoint the perfect opportunity? Let's dive in and explore some key factors to consider when choosing the best CPA offer.

First and foremost, it's essential to align the CPA offer with your target audience and niche. Understanding the needs, preferences, and pain points of your audience is paramount in selecting an offer that resonates with them. Conduct thorough market research to identify trends, consumer behavior patterns, and areas of high demand within your niche. By honing in on offers that address these needs, you'll increase the likelihood of attracting qualified leads and driving conversions.

Next, evaluate the credibility and reputation of the CPA network or affiliate program offering the deal. Opt for well-established networks with a track record of reliability, timely payments, and transparent communication. Look for reviews and testimonials from other affiliates to gauge the network's performance and reputation within the industry. Additionally, consider the level of support and resources provided by the network, as access to training materials, marketing tools, and dedicated account managers can significantly impact your success.

When assessing CPA offers, pay close attention to the payout structure and commission rates. While high payouts may seem enticing, it's essential to consider the conversion rate and earning potential of the offer. Look for offers with competitive payouts relative to the complexity of the required action and the quality of leads generated. Additionally, evaluate the terms and conditions of the offer, including any restrictions or prerequisites that may impact your ability to earn commissions.

Lastly, don't overlook the importance of tracking and analytics. Choose CPA offers that provide robust tracking tools and analytics platforms, allowing you to monitor performance, optimize campaigns, and maximize ROI effectively. By leveraging data-driven insights, you can refine your marketing strategies, identify top-performing offers, and scale your affiliate business for long-term success.

After following the steps above for choosing the right offer and talking to my AM, I chose 11 offers to start testing. Here’re some of them:

Step 2 - Setup Campaign

Basically the campaign’s setup should be based on your offer’s details (type, creatives, payout, geo, etc.) so it’s different for each campaign, however, there are some sections that are common in all campaigns that I’m going to mention here:
Creating a successful campaign on an ad network involves several key steps to ensure optimal performance and ROI. First, choose a reputable ad network with a track record of delivering results and a user-friendly interface. Once registered, familiarize yourself with the platform's targeting options, ad formats, and tracking capabilities.

Next, define your campaign objectives and target audience. Conduct thorough research to identify niche markets with high demand and low competition, then tailor your offer and messaging to resonate with your audience's needs and preferences.

Craft compelling ad creatives and landing pages optimized for conversions. Experiment with different ad formats, headlines, and calls-to-action to find what resonates best with your audience. Implement tracking pixels or codes to monitor campaign performance and optimize accordingly.

Set clear budget and bidding parameters to control costs and maximize ROI. Monitor campaign metrics regularly and make data-driven adjustments to optimize performance and achieve your desired outcomes.

Lastly, don't forget to comply with the ad network's policies and guidelines to ensure your campaign remains in good standing. By following these steps, you can create a successful CPA campaign that drives results and generates revenue on your chosen ad network.


My First Attempts:

Here’s the result after my first try. Not very promising but that’s ok because I know that the offers have enough potential and can turn into green after optimization. (I let campaign run for 4 days).

I’ve got only two offers with positive ROI in the first turn of testing.


Optimization - Where the Magic Happens! ; )

There are several things you should consider when it comes to optimization and again, it’s different for each campaign, however in total, the following are the most common ones among all types of campaigns:

Optimizing a CPA campaign is like fine-tuning a musical instrument – it requires patience, precision, and a keen ear for harmony. Whether you're a seasoned marketer or just dipping your toes into the world of digital advertising, mastering the art of optimization can unlock untapped potential and propel your campaigns to new heights. So, let's dive into the nitty-gritty of optimizing a CPA campaign and uncover the secrets to success.

First things first, data is your best friend when it comes to optimization. Dive deep into your campaign analytics to identify trends, patterns, and areas for improvement. Look at key metrics like click-through rates (CTR), conversion rates, and cost per acquisition (CPA) to pinpoint what's working and what's not.

Once you've identified areas for improvement, it's time to roll up your sleeves and get to work. Experiment with different ad creatives, headlines, and calls-to-action to see what resonates best with your audience. A/B testing is your secret weapon here – it allows you to compare two versions of an ad to see which performs better and iterate accordingly.

But optimization isn't just about tweaking ad creatives – it's also about optimizing your targeting and bidding strategies. Refine your audience targeting to focus on high-value prospects most likely to convert. Adjust your bidding strategy to maximize ROI – sometimes bidding higher can actually save you money in the long run by increasing your chances of winning conversions.

And don't forget about the importance of landing pages – they're the final frontier in your optimization journey. Ensure your landing pages are optimized for conversions, with clear messaging, compelling visuals, and user-friendly design.


And here are the results after optimization:

After 3 Days Optimization:
I’ve got 3 offers in green with positive daily ROI.

After 7 Days Optimization:
I’ve got 5 offers in green with positive daily ROI.

After 14 Days Optimization:
I’ve got 7 offers in green with positive daily ROI.


And here’s the final result:

I cut offer #9 which didn’t perform well after several optimizations and keep the other offers running with positive daily ROI of ~ +$125 / Day.


Conclusion

In conclusion, if you're looking for a lucrative way to make money online, CPA marketing coupled with media buying is a winning combination. Throughout this journey, we've explored the power of CPA marketing, where you earn commissions for specific actions taken by your audience, such as signing up for a trial or making a purchase. Paired with media buying, which involves strategically purchasing ad space to reach your target audience, you have the tools to unlock endless earning potential.

One of the greatest advantages of CPA marketing and media buying is its accessibility. Unlike traditional business models that often require significant upfront investment or specialized skills, getting started with CPA marketing and media buying is relatively straightforward. With a bit of research, experimentation, and dedication, virtually anyone can dive into this realm and start seeing results.

Furthermore, CPA marketing and media buying offer unparalleled flexibility. Whether you're a full-time professional, a student, or a stay-at-home parent, you can mold your CPA marketing endeavors to fit seamlessly into your lifestyle. You have the freedom to work at your own pace, from anywhere in the world, and scale your efforts as you see fit.

Additionally, the potential for passive income through this combination is truly remarkable. Once you've set up your campaigns and optimized your strategies, you can sit back and watch as the commission's roll in, even while you sleep. It's a true testament to the power of leveraging digital platforms and automation to create sustainable income streams.

That’s it. Hope you’ve found this useful and feel free to ask your questions or share your thoughts by replying to the thread and I would be happy to answer. : )

This is what we got!

Hey everyone,

So you want to dive into the world of CPA marketing and media buying? Cool, let's break it down Barney-style, so you can start making some dough with CPA links. Here’s your quick and dirty guide:

**1. Understand the Basics:**
CPA stands for Cost Per Action. Basically, you get paid every time someone clicks your link and performs a specific action, like filling out a form or signing up for a free trial. The trick is getting the right people to click.

**2. Choose Your Offer:**
Not all CPA offers are created equal. Some convert like crazy, while others are about as appealing as stale bread. Spend some time picking a good one. Look for offers with a decent payout and a high conversion rate. If it looks too good to be true, it probably is, so keep it real.

**3. Get Your Links:**
Once you’ve chosen your offer, you’ll get a unique link from the CPA network. This is the link you'll be promoting. Treat it like gold because, well, it is.

**4. Dive into Media Buying:**
Media buying is just a fancy term for buying ad space. Your job is to find the right spots to place your ads so they get seen by people who are likely to click and convert. Think social media platforms, websites, and other digital hangouts.

**5. Create Killer Ads:**
Your ads need to be eye-catching and persuasive. You don’t need to be a graphic designer, but a little creativity goes a long way. Use compelling images and snappy copy to grab attention and drive clicks.

**6. Monitor and Tweak:**
This isn’t a set-it-and-forget-it kind of deal. Keep an eye on how your ads are performing. If they’re not bringing in the bacon, tweak your approach. Try different ads, adjust your targeting, or consider switching up the offer.

**7. Scale Up:**
Once you find a formula that works, scale it up. Increase your budget, expand your reach, and watch the cash roll in.

That’s it! Not too complicated, right? Just remember, like any form of marketing, CPA and media buying take a bit of trial and error. Be patient, keep testing, and don’t blow all your cash in one go.

Good luck, and go make some money!

Cheers!

It feels like reading gpt with enriched visuals.

Don't get me wrong, you've put more efforts than the average joe but it's still a generic guide (made via gpt) in an attempt to promote your signature.

Your guide contains nothing about what really makes a good offer. How to filter traffic sources (bots will eat your campaign in a matter of hours without a blacklist) etc. etc.

if that's how he won't get you wrong,
then how would it be if he does

Ok, as I guessed, tons of replies and messages. Good to see that we have an active forum like this! Let's start answering those always "no-no" guys! ))

First of all, thank you for all your comments. The first argument is that the txt is written based on AI. Well, it's kind of true but not all. Guys, you all are marketer and are familiar with tech and IM and we're living in 2024 where a part of newsletters on BBC or CNN is even written by AI. What is really this argument?! Of course I'll take advantage of Chatgpt or any other AI tool when I want to create a text not only in BHW but in any other site or forum as long as it's ok with the forum's rules. If mods decided to let this thread goes alive, it means that it has something useful inside for the community, so what you can just like or dislike it, not judging the thread or me. Only God Can Judge Me! ))

Above are the result that I've got with my CPA campaigns, if you didn't get similar one or didn't like to see result of others, you don't need to be hateful. Just move on and visit other threads that you like.

This is not a step by step training (what you probably expect to see) so read the title again, set your expectations properly then enter into the forum. Why you don't respect all those likes and members who enjoyed reading the thread and could get something useful from it? Being selfish does not go a long way.

Finally, if you think that this is the worst thread published on BHW, why you don't take action and publish something useful and helpful for the community?! It's always easy to sit and criticize what others are doing. I would love if you consider my threads worthless and it puts something on you which you move your hand, generate and publish something better than this (you can even use AI and I promise I won't F... you for that). It really makes me happy if you do that and show me "what you can do". This is all I could make with all my effort as a guide with getting the help of AI for many parts but if you can do it better, you should definitely for that or ... .

And about the last guy who published the screenshot or 98% AI generated text. Dude, that's not hard to find out if a text is a AI generated or not in 2024. It's not like hacking the NASA! And you've found it, good for you but now what? Write something more useful and add something more valuable to the community. Is not it a better option?
By the way, try this: write a text all by yourself and put it in a AI text detector tool, you'll see that 70% of it will be marked as AI!
Also, in 2, 3 years, and with the progress of AI tools, you won't be able to detect any difference between an AI or human written text (with with AI tool), what will you do then? Sit and check who have used AI to generate content in the forum? Is not it worthless?

Again, thank you all for all your comments, even the most negative ones but to be honest, I'm going to generate and publish more content like this as long as.

1- Members like it.

2- Mods approve it.

Because I like to help others (especially newbies) even if I don't have time to write everything by myself.

Now let's get back to some more serious questions : )

Great results！how much need i invest at least for starting?

It depends on the ad network you are working with. It can be as low as $10 to up to $500 for some networks.

Wait isnt PropellerAds known for bot clicks?

Nope; I'm getting some of my best result with Propellerads.

Hey was planning to experiment w CPA marketing for first time in my life, what are those blacklists you are talking about?

That's what they are creating for yourself. Make a list of things they don't like and mark it as blacklist without any reason! ))

I want to try this, where can I get details and long guides?

You can https://www.mobidea.com/academy/affiliate-guides/.

OP did you use a tracker to optimise your campaign or else I think propeller is so full of not traffic.

Pls, I will lime to know your thoughts on this.

Yes I used the Binom tracker to track and optimize. Propellerads is good if you use it for the right type of offers. Also it'll give you enough data to analyze and optimize a campaign if you've just started.

From where you are acquiring traffic?

Propellerads for this case.

is maxbounty like maxweb?

Maxbounty.

So you are using propeller ads for cpa.
I have a question.
Why does propeller ads do not use the word "cpa"? Is it because they don't want you to use their ads network for cpa?
Another question.
Is there any ads network that actively wants you to use their traffic for cpa and they themself are not a cpa network too?

Hey mate,

Well, I'm not a part of their network, so I don't know exactly why they don't user "CPA" word but as far as I know, many CPA campaigns running on their network and as far as I know, they have their own CPA network called Zeydoo, so if they didn't like CPA offer, they would not do that. They may want to stop crappy marketers join their network by doing this but I'm personally working with them for a long-time now and never had an issue with running CPA campaigns.

I didn't get what you mean by your second questions. Each ad network is suitable for a specific type of offer. For example http://crakrevenue.com is a leader for dating offers but you probably lose money if you run your finance campaigns there! In general, they all are ad networks at the end of the day which means they "need" publishers and advertisers to stay in the business, and of course, they are not going to send invitation for every single marketer to join their network, however, like any other business, some of them are well-known brands like maxbounty which are not going to accept new affiliates easily and some others like Mobidea, are beginner-friendly networks, so it all depends on the network you choose. I hope I could address your question properly. Sorry but my English is not perfect so I may didn't get your question properly. Feel free to ask it with some more explanation if I didn't answer you. : )
