Hello all

This is my first year in this business which is worse than gambling. I have grossed about 75,000 since January but always seem to be breaking even after an offer I am using gets dropped. The problem I am having is that after I find an offer that I will do very well with gets dropped, finding the next offer costs me alot of the profit I have made. I have read many things about landing pages and split testing (which I do) but when the advertiser does not credit you it does not matter. I have great am's at NB and azoogle that always tell me the same thing. "I thought it would convert" . I have heard this so many times now that I am pulling my hair out. I have an offer I am grossing about 1500.00 a day with currently but my fear of this offer ending and having nothing to replace it with kills me. I have tried about 80 offers and invested about 4500.00 to find most of them not converting very well. I have not lost on all of them but about 70% of them being failures. Is there a way to weed out bad advertisers or is there a list of some sort showing the nonconverting advertisers?

Thanks for your help guys cause my only success has been following these forums.:bowdown::bowdown:
 


Do more than one offer at once for one thing, but yeah it sucks the life of an affiliate. Try to make long stable offers profitable also. You could also start thinking of long term trying to make your own offers. Congrats on the early success too.

Also I notice your name is facebookrevenue, if most of your traffic is from facebook that traffic is shit and will usually not buy anything and there's a good chance you are either making the offers you promote A) go broke or B) kick you off cause your leads are horrible
 
kingfish ,

facebookrevenue was just the name I used in the beginning because of apps I created that were doing well. I learned my lesson with quality of lead offers with facebook as they always told me how bad my quality was. I am mainly using yahoo now. I thank you for your advice and oh yes the life of an affiliate
I can sum up like this so far. 1) No sleep 2) wife banned me from sex for 2 weeks cause I hit the refresh button in the middle 3) feeling rich one day and broke the next 4) working about 16 hours a day. I am sure there is more but I know all you guys know this.

I'll give you an example of what I mean. I was running a diet offer that was converting 5 days at 6%. I was tripling my money. I trusted the offer and took the kids to an amusement getaway only to come back and find I had ended up losing alot of money. My 6% offer with the same landing page had suddenly dropped to 1% conversion rates from Friday night to Sunday. It made me sick.

It's funny that you say that because I've NEVER had a complaint from an advertiser regarding lead quality. In fact, one advertiser went exclusive to me because my traffic (from Facebook) is fantastic and working out for them in spades.
 
I know your feeling..shit I was getting $5k-$10k per month from one of my site very little PPC. Network just cancelled all the programs..try other similar..close to 0 conversion..crap..still finding niche that makes me money so I could make some money to pay bills..

if you pulling $1500 per day and you just started..you must be really good.
 
facebook traffic does tend to be on the crap side. Although I can get it to convert, i usually get complaints about the advertiser. After doing like 1000 (LEGIT) leads in one day off facebook traffic i got booted out of an advertisers offer.
 
i guess if u dont want your profit to drop then u gotta protect your data with your life. U tell no one, and u brag to no one. And u say nothing to neone or nething. Thats how it keeps you safe and sound for a little longer....=]
 
The best things you can do when you find something that's profitable:

1) Scale your campaign- the process of what worked for one will work for others.
If you have 3 campaigns, you lose one, you still have others bringing in $
2) Stop Checking Stats- If you have 1 campaign that is profitable, 99% chance you are checking stats on that puppy about 100+ times a day. Check them about 10 times a day and spend the extra time you save from checking 90+ times and find other offers and research.
3) Find a way to make your wife give it up. Regardless of how much time you spend on the computer, to her, the computer will seem more important to you than she does (this may very well be so)...that's when sex is withheld. Find a way to balance... Wife+Affiliates= Sex and $. The more sex you get, the happier you are, therefore, more successful you will be. If you're miserable, no money coming in, nothing is working, you want to hang yourself...that's bad...Get sex, be happy, make Millz

I like the way you think Nohel :1bluewinky: I'll vouch for you on that. More sex seems to magically increase your conversions ... or maybe the way you perceive things? Glass half full instead of empty. Positive attitude leads to an increased desire to tweak the campaign and increase profitability instead of dropping it and moving on. Now thats deep.
