Thanks, I will keep updating as much as I can. My website is not related to making money online so there is no
need to publish income reports in it but I I will do it here on this Journey.

I am working on my own articles for now but eventually I will pay for it so I can focus on marketing the website and driving traffic to it. I publish articles form 200 words to over 1500 words, and all images I get them every where. I modify them a bit so they are not as the original, but usually I do not pay much attention to the images. I guess as long the content is not copied or duplicated it is fine. I also place a DMCA on my site in the event something needs to be removed.

what average roi would you expect from traffic arbitrage optimized campaign?

Good luck! I did this myself in the past, will be interesting to follow your journey!

I would recommend brainstorming for a new unique product.
I had the opportunity to read an older thread on bhw where i combined that information with a high convering offer back from 2005 and created my own one which up to date.
ROI is after 2 months 348% and increasing since i make each week some new changes to improve engagement.

ROI varies a lot depending on traffic source, adnetworks on page, content and campaign ads, but it can go from 10% to almost 200% in some cases. Some give you loss...

What do you use for your IG automation? I'm in the market for a tool to help me grow my followers as well. I've been tempted with MassPlanner but would be interested to hear your thoughts. Thanks.

Hello everyone,

It has been while since I updated this thread, but I have been working on the website content and promoting it
through social media. Website is already set up and ready to make some tests and start getting traffic to it.
Although I am still waiting for validation in other adnetworks I have all is needed to start, later when website is
getting steady traffic it will be easer to bring more partners on.

Things I will be doing this week

• Create a 1k+ words article for the campaign to deliver the traffic to it. This article will have some general information plus links to some of the news articles on the site. (Done already).
• Setting up campaign for traffic, this involve creating several images, titles, descriptions to latter optimise the best performers.
• Keep the promotion on Facebook groups (engage and interact with campaign reactions)
• Keep close eye to revenue performance and communicate constantly with adnetwork manager to optimise for better ROI.
• Keep adding daily content.
• Check user behaviour on the website and tweak the content and ads position for better results.

There is not much more to do aside from that, basically test and optimise until I see ROI. Plan to start investing this month is about $1,5k, maybe more...

One thing you need to understand is that for any adnetwork, my website is new and any of their partners do not
know how good or bad my traffic is, therefore the website needs to get constant traffic for several months before
having full stack and better rates form advertisers. So it is difficult to pretend to have a positive ROI form the
beginning, although I have had positive ROI from the beginning before is not the golden rule.
There is time and money investment risk on this project before seeing any profit, but I am betting that I can make it work again.

The website is already getting steady 60+ visits as day from social media promotion and organic search (Yea content is already ranking without any offpage SEO)

Expenses: $6,90
Traffic Expenses: $0
Revenue: $6,55

Cheers!!

What networks are you using to monetize your site ?

I think I mentioned before, Google ads and for now I am also testing few native ads networks. I am still waiting to get
approved by the big ones as I will need more traffic so I will later change them for better results.

Small Update

My Instagram account has grown to 10.5k, and keeps growing but still I do not get many visits from there.
My Facebook page in the other hand has grown in the last few days from 50 likes to 600+ thanks to a
couple of articles I made that had gone a bit viral, and now are bringing over 2k visits a day to my website.
I cannot imagine how much traffic I will be able to bring once my Fan Page grow to the thousands of likes.

I will put some revenue numbers at the end of the week. I am still yet to lunch the first campaign... But I have almost everything done for it

GoodLuck on your journey. Its interesting, im anxious to see the results this weekend.

Hello everyone,

Here another update:

So I am still waiting to get the FB campaign lunched, as you may know I pay for a service to actually teach me and help me to set and run campaigns from FB so I do not spend money learning about it. They actually set up the first campaign and optimize it for me while they show me how is done. So far I have ready the main article where this traffic is going to land so I hope to start having traffic to it before the month ends.

Mean while I have been creating my usual daily content and promoting them on social media. The good news is that I have had couple of articles gone viral on FB and it is driving insane traffic to the website. The second article did much better and so far in 2 days has sent me over 60k visits to my website, traffic is already diluting but still coming. The good thing is that got me several backlinks on different websites and forums, many shares on different social media networks and helped me to rank some keywords and get more organic traffic.

Also I have taken advantage of this to evaluate the user activity on my website and optimize the content, my ads position for better CTR and of course to understand what my audience like and react to, so I can rinse and repeat. The down side that I have seen so far is the revenue form this social media traffic, although is t is not bad, I think it could be better since they particularly just read the article and leave and I need them to navigate more pages on my site.

With that said, here are the things I have done so far:
- I increase the article length with more content, video and images for better engagement.
- I have placed more inter-links on the article to try make users go to other articles.
- I have change a bit the position of some ads within the site and article as I see users click on the content in different places. Hense most of the traffic is mobile!
- I boost for a day the article and spent about $15. it did not made much as the post was already viral organically but I wanted to get a bit more off of it.

So far I have manage to grow my fan page for the 600+ fans to 1.7k+ in few days. I know this is not much but it is growing at its pace with targeted fans so I am happy.
I will post the final results from at the end of the week as I am still getting traffic but so far I have managed to make more than $100 in a day and half with free traffic (All Profit).

Cheers...

Nice earnings $100 in a day ! That is probably around $3k per month. Good earnings. Wish you good luck.

Following - You said that you made $100 profit right?

May i talk to you directly on skype please!

how do you grow your Facebook traffic so much social media has always been a weak point for me all I do is syndicate my blog posts and repost them on Facebook about once or twice a week and I have got into 200 Facebook fans in a year. What do you do to promote your Facebook page, seems like you're getting a nice bump in traffic from social media so I'm wondering if I should invest more time in that section.
