PSA (again) if you are starting to run EDs Telehealth If your CPC is <$1 (and Audience Network is off, as nature intended) -> CUT THOSE ADS No, those people will not buy. No, even if you send 1000 clicks for 0.2 cpc there will be no one that will buy. Actionable USA ED traffic is around $1.5-$2 CPC Seeing again and again guys asking me why they are not converting on EDs, we check CPC and it is like $0.25 (case the ad was hot/saucy and people curiosity-click)

Vast majority of affiliates fail, because they think they are testing enough, but they don't. "This thing of ours" is a pretty isolated endeavor. You sit alone without much 3rd party contact for days, weeks and sometimes even months. So you can compare yourself...only to yourself. You do 10 ads today, and 20 ads tomorrow and suddenly it seems that you made 2x progress. But those publishers who are making profit on that same offer... made 100 ads and another 100 tomorrow. Various interviews and podcasts can give you a glimpse of how high-level teams / media buyer function, but you cant "transfer" experience, you can only earn it. There is always one more mile that you can run, one more rep that you can do...and much more ads that you can produce.

neverending

talking with some AffilManagers is like talking to a girl that is not that into you... A: Hey, so what are the top 3 offers, with EPC for Meta if possible B: *One day later*, Home services is good A: cool, but which one, what are the caps and EPCs please, what about ZIPs, or average lead price B: "One day later" "random URL", lead price varies, but we have no caps on this now A: ... ok, so like what other offers are at the top now? B: "Left on read, no response"

"Oh, we dont use Everflow/Cake/Whatever we have our own inhouse solution..."

You might be surprised but some of the most juiciest ROI-fatty campaigns, in igaming/casino are in T3 countries.

How to setup your FB accs? - 1 Main BM, on your legal entity, that has 1 (but ideally 2 admins) - Max out ad accounts under this BM - Make 20+ FB pages and link them all under the BM Get a proxy browser, get private proxies, get a mobile phone number to verify sms (name of the services in our telegram group) - Make a new FB profile through those, verify - Ad that new FB profile to your Ad Accounts as Ad Manager Upload ads strictly from the proxied ad manager account. - If ad manager acc gets locked, grab new proxies, make a new one, re-ad it to the ad accs through BM - all pages, pixels etc., must be under BM admin - if ad acc gets locked, just switch to a new one - if fan pages gets locked, just siwtch to a new one This setup will solve any issues for 95% of meta media buyers, before you will need to reach out to agencies etc.

stop getting emotionally attached to your ads when starting out, it takes you long time to make a couple of ads you spend your whole day making these 5 ads, you upload, and then you just look at them losing money for the next 3 days, because you are emotionally invested + sunken time costs get this out of your head first of all - make more ads this solves 99% of issues, not converting, cpc too high, FB not spending the budget, CTR low etc. -> more ads and second - dont be afraid of pausing or deleting if you are worries that making that 1 great ad was time wasted (since you paused it) -> wrong mindset making and pausing that ad gave you information, now you know that these do not work and next time you will be better Quicker feedback loops + more ads + being more decisive

before starting affiliate marketing, you will need cash get yourself to $5k per month with agency, freelancing or salary that should leave you with $ 2-3k to test stuff starting affil with $0 is possible, but very challening with $2k per month you will see the results much quicker as you can test more freely and will be less inclined to cut potential winners too early

when to kill an offer? meta is ridiculously good for affiliate marketing but when a campaign doesn't work everyone blames meta but before killing it, check the math (assuming you are not profitable yet): offer avg EPC = $4 your CPC = $1.50 you have room to work offer EPC = $2 your CPC = $1.70 probably not much to optimize - check network EPC - compare it to your EPC - compare both to your CPC network EPC good, but your EPC bad = fix creative/funnel both EPCs bad = stop trying to outsmart the economics and find another offer yet again, there are many more nuances, but this will give you at leas some guidance

affiliate managers sending you a list of 20 offers is not helpful I don't care what's "live" tell me: what's actually getting volume what's the EPC what traffic source is working what scaled in the last 7 days give me 2 offers with actual data, not 20 links

PSA: - In your FB BM create as many accs as it allows you, as abackup (sure, if it starts to limit you at 50+, you can stop :) ) - Create a bunch of Fan Pages, also as a backup In telehealth in particular FB loves to ban FB Pages even if you have legitscript applied.

How to start with affiliate marketing, today: 1. Pick Meta 2. Ecom Affil (DFO, GiddyUp for example) 3. Grab 1-3 top offers, check the ads / landers 4. Use the keywords to check FB Ads Library 5. CBO, 2x CPA daily budget, focus on QUANTITY of ad /creative angles, Aim for 100+ ads tested in first week 6. .... 7. lambo It is simple but not easy Spend 90% of your time making ads Never stop

here we go again, paying our pubs while the advertiser is not paying us (heavily past due, trying to "pull a fast one" on us) if your network says smth like "we will pay only if the advertiser pays us"...run (that of course does not apply if you sent fraud, obviously) everyone wants to run a network, until you have to pay out from your own pocket - because your guys did nothing wrong and advertiser is a grifter (am I leveraging this situation to virtue-signal? 100% yes, have to make the best out of this)

Affiliates obsess over payout. $200 CPA sounds better than $100 CPA. But payout tells you almost nothing about whether you can actually run traffic profitably. $200 CPA does not matter if the EPC is $1, while $100 CPA can be a great offer if the EPC is $4 sure, a lot of things can influence this calculation, but this is the core indicator stop comparing just the CPAs and focus on EPC/CPC

Was anybody, at anytime able to launch a campaign on X that would go to external site (whitehat)? Ever...?

Before killing an offer, separate the offer signal from the creative signal. If EPC is healthy across the network but your campaign is underwater, the offer may not be the problem. Creative, CPC are usually the first places I’d look.
