Here’s the result I’ve got from my “whitelist” campaign a few days ago:
See how I’ve done it below.
Summary
Start Date: May 1
End Date: May 3
Offer Type: Finance
Traffic Source: Mobidea
GEO: India
Spent: -$69
Revenue: +$439
Profit: +$370
ROI: +536.23%
Let’s discuss a little about the whitelist first since I run this campaign based on that. Whitelisting is a significant part of CPA marketing which is considered as a as a win-win situation for both marketer and advertiser. In simple words, marketers (creators) create a social media identity based on their past campaigns which means they collect info from users that are interested in a specific type of offer to show them similar offers in the future. For this campaign, I’ve used my whitelist created for Indian users who are interested in mainstream utilities.
Traffic Source, Country & Offer
My geo is India for this campaign and India is #2 or #3 countries in terms of traffic’s volume.
The network that I’m working with for this offer is Zeydoo and I sent India’s traffic to offer. Based on your ad network, you can see what verticals have high-performance. For example, in Mobidea, Finance, Utilities and Dating are high-performing verticals. This may be different for other ad networks based on their traffic’s type.
Here’s screenshot of offer’s page:
Offer Details
Offer Name: Crypto Mania
Payout: $0.65 / PPI
Categories: Finance App
Network: AdsMain
Last Updated: May 04, 2024
Countries: India
Valid Convert = user has to install, run and use the app. Mobidea has good traffic for this type of offer but nothing can be predicted before running the initial test campaign. Anyway, I’ve talked with my AM on Mobidea as well and after getting his confirmation, I decided to run this offer.
My Strategy
I started testing this offer based on the CPC pricing model which I pay for clicks not views. My experience says that this type of offers perform better on CPC but that’s only my opinion, so always do your own research before choosing your pricing model
For the campaign’s setting, I set it to get traffic only from Android’s versions higher than 9 since the lower versions have poor performance. Also, India is one of those geos that can eat all your testing budget in a blink of an eye so always set your bid smartly.
And lastly, as you know, people speak and understand English well in India but the trick here is targeting Hindi language in your campaign as well. That would not be difficult to translate your LP with many tools out there or even Google translate but you definitely leave money on the table if you run your campaign in India without targeting the Indian language. Later, with an A/B test, you will be able to recognize which language performs better for your campaign then exclude the other one.
Notification
Since we have an app install offer here, we need to user a notification to get user’s attention. Something like this:
What you need to pay attention to here is that almost all ad network have rules for running such notifications. For example, you don’t have permission to use the Windows, Android, Apple, etc. logo in your notification’s ad, so make sure to check the rules of your network before running the campaign to avoid getting into trouble.
Also, in this type of ad format, you have only one chance to get user’s attention after he/she sees the ad, so do your best and choose the best description and title for your ad to don’t lose user’s attention.
Optimization
Put Limits - For this type of campaigns, it’s always recommended to set limits on your campaign to don’t over spend on both traffic and test’s budget. I remember it was one of my first’s mistake when I’ve just started because I wanted to get as much traffic as possible so I set the campaign’s limit too high or sometimes even without any limit and I lose tons of money by doing this so, don’t repeat my mistake! ; )
Sweep Creatives - If you use creatives for your campaigns, you should be brave enough to change them too! Sometimes (if not say most of the times), if you start with 5, 6 creatives at the beginning, 2 or 3 of them may have poor performance after initial test and that’s not logical to keep them running when you have option to
Make a Blacklist - There are always ad formats, zones, geos, ips, etc. that don’t perform well, by blacklisting these placements, your budget won’t be wasted on low-performing fields. This is the same for whitelisting. When you whitelist placements, you can use it for your future campaigns like I did for this one.
Result
Finally here the result after 3 days I’ve got with this offer and whitelisted zones:
Total spent at Adsterra for all 3 days was: $69
Total earnings: $439
Income: $439-$69 = +$370
ROI: 536%
I’ve tried to explain everything in details and this thread and mentioned to some benefits of creating whitelist while running CPA campaigns. I really like that and it benefits me a lot. With a long whitelist and combination of well-performing creatives, you can really make a bank. And most of the times, whitelists give you more than what you’ve expected so put them in your check list always.
Conclusion
In conclusion, diving into the world of CPA marketing (+ media buying) can be your ticket to online success! By harnessing the power of these strategies, you're not just earning money; you're crafting a lifestyle of flexibility and financial freedom.
Imagine having the ability to work from anywhere, whether it's sipping a latte at your favorite café or lounging on a tropical beach. With CPA marketing and media buying, that dream can become your reality.
Of course, like anything else that’s not as easy as drinking a glass of water but all it takes is a willingness to learn and a commitment to taking action. With determination, dedication, and the right strategies, you can turn your online endeavors into a thriving source of income. Start today, and watch as your efforts translate into tangible results.
As always, I’m not a writer, so there may be things I’ve missed to cover in this thread but you’re always welcome to ask and I would be happy to answer.
Good luck! : )
