Awesome information from both
@Loyal0 and
@Sephrata! I've spent the last two days learning a lot from this thread, and doing my own research.
Why are you guys sharing this valuable info? Won't it just add to your competition? (Also, why does mobidea have a full tutorial? Shouldn't they just buy their own traffic and bank? I'm guessing these platforms collect the data from winning campaigns and use it themselves. )
Regardless, I am very grateful for the value you have offered.
Two quick questions, if you have the time.
1. Are you only focused on mobile here? Would it work for desktop as well? I have heard in the past that mobile traffic converts very poorly because there are a lot of misclicks, etc...
2. Assuming a healthy budget $1-2k, persistence, and a little luck, how long would it take to find a profitable campaign to scale? Do you remember how long it took you?
I'm not too crazy about doing anti-virus and other spammy stuff long term, but I know I could learn a lot about paid traffic, split testing, etc from this that would be valuable in my other businesses.
I love the mindset of 'not losing money... only buying data and experience'. I hope that can get me through the tough learning curve.
I'll definitely report back to this thread once I have taken real action. For now I have just been reading and signing up for networks, hosting, etc...
Thanks again, guys!
