College Student Receives Affiliate Wrist-Slapping
This college newbie started things off rather well:
“If you're a College student, or was; how do you maintain/maintained a balance between studying and affiliate marketing?”
A great question.
Here’s another follow-up:
“Wow, that's amazing! How much money did you have when you first started with AM? Would you say that a $300 a month is enough to start AM?”
He then gets the golden goose number when starting AM - about 5,000 Washingtons.
Just about right.
Just about confirmed by every veteran STMer (in this thread).
But then the college newbie took a sudden sharp turn and his bike slipped badly:
“5000 is way too much to start. There’s literally a $1 guide here on the forum.“
Lying on the ground, poor college newbie started getting some serious wrist-slaps.
So is $5,000 too much?
Is it not?
Is it “over the course of your nooblet life”?
Or is there something else entirely at play here.
Ye shall see inside.
But here’s Yours Truly’s take:
This is a classic case of confirmation bias.
Here’s what that means: “the tendency to interpret new evidence as confirmation of one's existing beliefs or theories.”
This distorts evidence-based decision making.
It’s bad.
In a nutshell, college newbie decided $5,000 is bad and that $300 is good and off he went confirming it for himself.
To further stretch out the tangent - go read Ray Dalio’s Principles: Life & Work. Despite this has been written for managing your own company (for the most part), it’s going to let you see how you should evaluate opinions and weigh your own decisions cleverly.

Ditch Wordpress or Listen Closely
“Hey, I've had issues with Bluehost, Hostgator, Siteground (slow speed and downtime issues, etc) for different reasons Recently migrated to WPX because of the recommendations from reputable people, companies like ThriveThemes and Matthew Woodward but WPX has been a nightmare so far - my sites started having downtime, FB pixels not firing, not working properly with unusual errors after they migrated the sites and they just keep refusing to take responsibilities, communications have been sub par.”
The causes?
A shitton of unnecessary plugins and scripts.
The magic?
Observe @jeremie (our newest mega-high-tech-super-smart mod) carefully chisel this rough WordPress site into a speedboat.
P.S. WPX is just fine, it ain’t their fault.

Uncle Google keeps slapping poor @jaybot’s domains.

But then Mr. Jaybot got: completelyunrelateddomainimnotusing.com
A dot com.
Results? No problemos thus far.
Case in point?
Ole Jaybot noticed .com domains are waaay faster than the new wave domains.
Is he on to somethin’?
Are they, really?

Lazy Neo’s Newbie Revelations
Lazy Neo spills boundless wisdom for STM nooblets.
Newsflash: affiliate marketing ain’t “easy 5-figure days bro”–style–courses.
What ye need to do is 2 things:
Listen keenly to what The Chosen One chants.
Try to find the hidden financial wisdom and advice deep inside this post.
Here’s a taste of His writings:
“I would like to make a series of posts for beginners that hopefully help to get a better and easier start and that also shall clarify some stuff.
It´s not necessarily about specific offer verticals or traffic types or so.
It shall be a rather general guideline to help to form a good and winning overall mindset and to develop a better understanding about affiliate marketing in general.
Probably one of the biggest motivations to start affiliate marketing is the money that you can earn so this is what this first post is about.
Often rather sooner than later the reality kicks in and people realize that affiliate marketing is no free ride to wealth and fortune.”
This post be long.
I recommend ye read it all at least twice.
Pay attention, and be realistic.
Specifically, here’s an analogy:
“Well, making 5 figures a month sounds fantastic but I recommend to rather make a plan that matches your personal situation.
$10k in Canada is completely different than $10k in Bolivia.
Also make a difference between what you want and what you need.“

Here’s a $50 Bonus and the “In-Page Push Treasure Map” from our affiliate experts. Use wisely, but quickly!
3 quick reasons to work with In-Page Push:
finally enables you to “send” push to iOS and macOS users,
may cost less than classic Push for some verticals,
affiliates overlook it, so the auction is not so crazy as in classic Push.
We’ve checked the stats just a couple of days before you got this email, so the insights are burning hot...ouch!
1. Biggest volumes & lowest bids for testing
The best combination of volume and price is now in Brazil (Windows, Android) and Saudi Arabia (Windows, Android). Also, if you put some effort into translating your creatives, you might be surprised with CTR and ROI.
2. Hidden gems for quality conversions
Traffic from Japan (JP) and France (FR) is on steroids now! We’ve just added multiple big websites popular in the regions and most of the big advertisers are still on vacation. Hurry up before the auction is too hot.
3. Scaling success to tier-3
Already got conversions with In-Page, but want more? What to scale: Utility, Expansions, Gambling, Finance, and Dating. Where to scale: India, Mexico, Philippines, Mexico, Indonesia, Vietnam, Turkey, Egypt.

How to Trick Voluum so it Doesn’t Trick You
An STMer asks:
“Let's say my Lander has one offer with four links to said offer. In other words, Banner1, Banner2, Banner3, and Banner4 all go to Offer1.
Is it possible to add more information to the click so that I can tell which banner was responsible for sending that traffic to Offer1?”
Tl;dr how do you find out which banner converted on offer 1.
One way is to setup 4 campaigns for the 4 banners, but ye don’t wanna do that when there are far more elegant ways.

🐗Wild Boars Invade Snapchat for Q4 🤑One Trick to Finding Profitable Campaigns
August 26, 2020
🐗Wild Boars Invade Snapchat for Q4
Praised be the corona gods!
The wild boars return with a shiny new follow along.
Invasion target?
A relentless assault on innocent Snapchat.
Mr. @wakeboarder, a.k.a. Tim, a.k.a. Lord of the Boars declares full-on war on Shapchat pre Q4.
Why Snapchat?
The wild boars have been preparing for war since January - a Snapchat pixel has been collecting sweet data ever since.
Plus eerily similar demographics (see for yerself)
France is the #2 huge-est Snapchat TS - 20mil.
The wild boars have hired a deadly media buyer to handle The Zucc. Facebook be stable. Therefore the Wild Boar King sets his sights on conquering Snapchat before the Q4 madness arrives (they expect 600+ orders/day by that time)
As per usual, The Wild Boar King’s follow along is top of the class.
Crystal clear goals and religious updates.
Ye heard about the invasion goals.
What’s the initial plan, then?
P.S. If ye don’t sub to the follow along Yours Truly shall be waiting under yer bed tonight.
>> Yer gonna have to go check inside yerself <<
[SPONSORED] One Trick to Finding Profitable Campaigns
Ever wonder why so many affiliates never reach consistent profits?
To hit on a winning campaign, you need to test 4 things:
Offers, Ads, Landing Pages, and Traffic Sources.
Test enough combinations and you’ll find winners.
Sounds simple - until you look at the math.
Example: 4 Offers x 10 Ads x 5 Landing Pages = 200 combinations to test
(And this is assuming the traffic is decent.)
The scary thing? Even if you test all 200 combinations, you may not find a winner.
Pro affiliates take a different approach: They do research to narrow things down first.
And many of them rely on one particular data intelligence tool.
Top affiliates use this tool to cherry-pick the most-recent campaigns, that have been receiving lots of traffic over at least a few days…
Which means they have a good chance of being winners.
Then the pros would test, tweak and optimize based on these campaigns.
This way, there are WAY fewer combinations to test, and the success rate is MUCH higher.
The tool is Adplexity, and here’s why it’s the best:
Shows you entire campaigns: Ads, offers (& affiliate networks), landing pages, traffic sources, placements, etc.
Tons of great reviews from users (google to find).
The biggest and most-accurate database of campaigns, bar none.
Intuitive user interface, easy to use.
Covers: Native, Push, Pop, Display, Adult, and In-App traffic.
Covers many traffic networks: AdCash, Taboola, PropellerAds, Exoclick + dozens more.
The Good News: Adplexity is offering a 30% LIFETIME discount to our subscribers.
Adplexity 30%-Off Lifetime Discount
Think: How difficult it would be to compete with affiliates that ARE using Adplexity, when you’re not.
You can’t afford NOT to get this tool.
You can also give AdPlexity a shot by getting the exclusive LP Pack, which consists of 100 cleaned and ready-to-use pre-landers - here's the link:

Papa Zeno’s Exclusive STM Deal - Flux Pro @ 50% OFF

Pretty Pet Insurance?
This is the prettiest affiliate landing page you’ll ever see.
Seriously.
Well crafted, well designed. Great copy.
Doesn’t seem like a ripped 3-question pop lander barely holding together.
But most of all – it’s trustworthy. (Something most affiliates are allergic to.)
The entire thing’s made to collect leads, and boy does it work. It’s a 7-step quiz funnel for the pet niche.
Case in point:
This pretty lander’s generating leads for $1.43 per lead.
Yes.
Pet insurance.
Pet insurance in the US.
Keywords: $1.43 + insurance anything. In the US.
The problem?
130 leads later and 0 sales. Hence, the cry for help.
Turns out these 0 sales may have been due to a silly missclick...

Facebook Mega Banhammer Deluxe
This poor affiliate’s entire innocent BM felt the Zucc’s gentle, creepy shoulder rub.
It’s all gone.
Not just the 1 ad account running a WH offer.
But the entire thing.
The problem is, FB’s been trigger happy for the past few months.
Word on the street is the Facebook waters be shaky.
But has the Zucc been waking up on the wrong side of the bed or is there another, more sinister problem?

Perhaps.

Ain’t Spending Other People’s Millions ‘No ‘Mo
Ye know, running an agency ain’t half bad.
Look at Don Draper – alpha as fudge.
Makes ya wanna light one up afresh, aye? (maybe don’t)
Anywhoms.
Living the agency lifestyle, while low risk and low ROI, gets ye to learn the ins and outs of any particular niche/vertical/industry.
Also, it’s scalable.
But in a sense, spending other people’s benjamins sheds a _layer of tummy butterflies_.
I’m talking about the butterflies ye get when you have to spend your own hard-earned gold purse.
Especially at first.
But then comes a time where ye realise that monthly retainer + 5-10% of ad spend is pennies compared to what you can bring in STM-style.
Case in point:
This guy’s coming over from the agency “lyfe” and wants to dip his toes into the land of plenty (AM):
“I just finished running a multi ad platform (FB, IG, Search, display, YT, etc) ad agency where ran ads for business who sold courses, lead gen-email submits and ecom for other businesses. Now it's my turn to reap the rewards. I am pretty new to this AM stuff. No flex here. Just honest, what to learn and help share.”
…
“Can you help me create a focus path?”
What do ye think happened?
P.S. OP has quite the extensive experience, plus many paths to take.
Stuff gets interesting.

Taboola’s off the chain and ain’t hearin’ no one.
Smartbids be damned.
Thread context:
“I'm running some Taboola's SmartBid campaign and I'm struggling with this issue very often. Even in large geos such as US I can't spend more than a few hundred dollars per day.”
Spoiler alert:
It’s OP’s fault for Taboola’s under-delivery.
Even better:
Revealed inside are the inner-schemes of intricate SmartBidding techniques.
In other words, ye better jump in and see how the pros do it before ye start pulling yer hairs.
Protip: High bids need not make you pee yer pants.
