🤔 A Sweeps Newsletter? 📌RollerAds Exclusive Offers for STM Forum Members
January 20, 2021
A Sweeps Newsletter?
@gobroke brewed an interesting idea.
Like many affiliates, he says he’s leaving so much money on the table by not building an email list.
So he came up with a plan:
"So here's my general plan in random order:
Get a domain and create a website.
Create Content Calendar
Grab several sweepstake and app offers from affiliate networks.
Find 2-3 enticing offers so they will sign up.
Focus on pop and push traffic.
Create a Daily Newsletter
Find at least 5 competitors"
Go watch @Amy and @jeremie jump in and clear up all things mailing lists – from great hooks to maintaining list quality, to co-reg.
But then there’s this completely unexpected post by @contentistic that pretty much presents an a-z newsletter strategy idea.
He argues @gobroke hasn’t added value to his list anywhere.

How Important is LP CTR on Native?
Ever wondered why some affiliates swear by landing page CTR?
Watch our resident native expert @platinum from The Optimizer shed light on why LP CTR can be so crucial on native.
Let’s just say that if you don’t keep an eye on LP CTR, an offer that pays $20 with an average landing page to offer conversion rate of around 10% can end up with an absolutely massive deal-breaking difference between hitting profits or losing money.
PS: @jack_l reveals in this thread one rockstar ecommerce offer here that worked consistently well on Revcontent in 2019…

💹 These MMO Offers Are Killing it on Native
@revale tried to launch his first native campaign on Taboola with an MMO offer.
It got rejected for the following reasons:
Claiming financial freedom (not allowed)
Exact money-making amount claims (not allowed)
Terms and Conditions in English - not French
Missing video transcrip / fast-forward and rewind buttons
Use of racy/unrealted images in creatives
@jack_l explains why Outbrain and Taboola aren’t good options and where to try running these offers instead.

Critical Newbie Affiliate Lessons
@lilgator said they’re puting a stop on his campaigns for a few weeks to save cash for his next campaign.
In the meantime, he plans on building up his skills – starting with coding.
“I'm currently going all in on learning coding and taking the Front End Development track on Tree House (HTML, CSS, Java). I chose this area because tech is my weakness and hiring a coder was nightmare for me last time. Being strong in tech is a big edge.”
“Also I am considering posting my help for free (any VA type task) on the Job Board. I can wire frame, write basic copy, am proficient at excel etc. Would this be useful to you?”
What’s surprising is @lilgator’s innocent question sparked a massive discussion.
What you’ll find in this thread:
@platinum’s 9 pro tips on what to focus on (and what not to focus on) as a newbie. Critical aspects.
@vortex explains why you should make a logical money-based decision on whether to outsource coding or not. Plus why pops aren’t necessarily about marketing but more so about having a great system.

Plutus Toolkit - Automatic GitHub deployment using webhooks
@plutus drops in yet another marvelous tool from his toolbox:
Automatic GitHub deployment using webhooks
Warning: This is 100% technical.
Not recommended for non-techie people.
Here’s an explanation in plain English from @plutus himself:
You have your own server
You added DNS record that point to that server
You created repository with your codebase
You pulled that repository on your server once
You set up webserver to serve files from that repository when accessing your domain
Now the script kicks in.
It set up webhook module that will automatically pull any further changes from the repository when they occur.
One important note is that the GitHub repository name must match document root directory name of your website.
The way it works right now, is that it requires repository that is already deployed once and set up in the web server.“
P.S. There’s a massively-detailed explanation of how all of this works from a non-tech perspective thanks to @vortex asking. Plus you’ll see our other tech-wizard @jeremie chiming in and clearing a lot of confusion around Github, Amazon S3 and CDN.

100% You’re Not Running These Types of Offers On Native
December 03, 2020
100% You’re Not Running These Types of Offers On Native
@platinum, one of the native wizards over at The Optimizer recently revealed a type of native campaign that:
A: Nobody’s running right now.
B: Is gaining traction.
C: Is “a piece of cake – especially when compared with the usual lead generation or straight sale offers.”
You know how many hoops you have to jump through (and how many dollars need to thrown) in order to make regular offers work on native.
But this is different because you don’t even need a landing page – they’re all direct-linked.
There are 2 downsides, of course, which @platinum goes over.
But the biggest surprise?
The sheer size of this thread.

Plutus Toolkit - Binom Cost Synchronizer
Speaking of wizards, @plutus is a tech-wizard and he has been on a roll lately.
First, his Offer URL Generator.
And now this – a Binom Cost Syncronizer.
Binom Cost Synchronizer is a python script that synchronizes costs in Binom using traffic sources APIs.
It basically executes a python script daily using crongjobs on your server.
It grabs your Binom campaigns and matches them with the traffic source campaigns based on the URL, then fetches the cost of matched campaigns for the previous day and finally updates the costs.
Worry not – there are installation instructions for non-tech inclined, mere mortals too.
@plutus also just got a nice reward for his continued contribution, efforts, and activity – one we don’t give lightly – a few months of free STM membership.

Tired of Ad Networks flooding the threads
@bako_kaye is in his full right to be pissed off:
“This morning I was just going through posts and new threads and I kept on stumbling these threads where the publisher comments on his own post to grab the attention of the viewer and also to move his post forward.
I'm in ad networking myself but even I think that what they do is a little extra.”
In other words, thread bumps by various companies on STM.
If overdone this can get extremely annoying.
That’s why we’ve got specialized sections and rules that all companies are required to follow – otherwise they get a warning and then the ban hammer.
@jeremie, @vortex and @matuloo jumped in to have a look.
Most networks follow the rules and are compliant. Networks are allowed to bump their threads only twice a week – if you see an infraction please let us know ASAP.
STM has to be kept clean and spam free.
On that note, here’s a reminder of our rules:
Rules for all members.
Rules for all vendors.
