Some of you use the landing pages that are provided by your network, others create their own. And there is always a question – how to make it as high converting as it possibly can be? But it’s not that hard, to be honest. However, creating an effective page involves more than simply designing something that “looks good,” and giving customers what they want definitely takes some research.
Today, Maria Gondar from MGID, our network’s partner, is going to tell you some useful tips about creating a profitable landing page and which details deserve special attention. So let’s give Maria a hand 🙂


Pre-sell pages are kind of like the cheerleaders of Native Advertising. They encourage and interact with the reader, get them inspired and yet also frustrated about the problems they face. The reader has to click through to your sales or lead generation page to discover the full solution.

A landing page is important for building your brand reputation and enhancing confidence in the quality of your product. Not every landing page fulfills its task at 100%. But if you work through the structure of the landing page and complement it with an excellent design, you will get the result and over one hundred percent.

While developing the landing page, check grammar, spellings, fonts, animations and test mobile and desktop versions. Choose one style and tone of voice and maintain through the page.

Don’t try to mix all marketing techniques or use all of them, it will only distract customers. Your main page also should not be overload with the advertisement, your main goal is to attract customers to your product and not to monetize your site.

But what is a secret ingredient to make the landing page appealing?

By using an interactive design you are able to engage users with the web page while he is scrolling it. Your main task is to grab the attention of potential clients.  If working with coffee or tea offers, you can create a quiz to find out what kind of beverage he/she is suited to. It makes user experience more interactive and lower bounce rate. For dating, design sign up form in the form of chat.

Here are some tips concerning the following verticals

Dating

  • Choose images according to the beauty standards of your target GEO.
  • Interact with your user, include relationship or matching quizzes.
  • Girls with tattoos are proven to receive more clicks.
  • Flirty Phares in the header.
  • Naked women on teasers is an already sign of bad taste. Mysterious and real looking girls is what converts now.

Nutraceuticals

  • For beauty or weight loss products, use a filter on the landing page. Users could upload or take photos of themselves to see how they will look without wrinkles or 20 pounds less. 👵➡👱‍♀️
  • Share success stories and reviews. People believe in the magic power of the product if they have some evidence from others. Include photos and feedbacks from influencers to build customers’ confidence in your products.

AdCombo & Voluum – get a discount! https://blog.adcombo.com/adcombo-voluum-get-discount/ https://blog.adcombo.com/adcombo-voluum-get-discount/#respond Tue, 05 Mar 2019 10:05:26 +0000 https://blog.adcombo.com/?p=4664 Reading Time: 4 minutes Experienced affiliates know that running lots of campaigns without a tracker is tough.

Experienced affiliates know that running lots of campaigns without a tracker is tough. Make a profit without a tracker is almost impossible. Those webmasters that have been in affiliate marketing for a long time, have already found the trackers they are comfortable with and work with them. But what if you are a newbie and don’t understand much in trackers? Or maybe you gave up on the current tracker and looking for another one? We are here to recommend you one of the best trackers (in our view).

So, let us introduce – Voluum!

Voluum is a gold standard of performance-marketing, CPA-tracker, and TDS with rich functionality. It is able to track data in real time, work with the web- and mobile-traffic and making reports get much easier. Voluum also can filter traffic by GEOs, networks, devices, OC and browsers.  But let’s look into this in depth.

Voluum was founded by zeropark.com owners so this tracker grew out of the need of affiliates. Moreover, it is constantly evolving following the market trends. Among other pleasant bonuses, Voluum has two main points and now we are going to talk about them.

Firstly, the tracker is really quick. It is one of the quickest solutions in the market. This was achieved mainly through 4 data-centers, which are located on 4 continents. And this allows redirecting users to the nearest data-center. Of course, it has a positive influence on the speed and prevents click loss.

And plus, if one of the data-centers has technical difficulties, three others will replace it and so the process can continue uninterrupted.

Secondly, Voluum is a cloud-hosted tracking software. It may be the decisive moment for newbies because they don’t have to invest in a dedicated server to install the tracker. This option saves money.

Also, you can use the cloud solution to work with campaigns around the world because it has a global CDN.

If there’s someone who does not know – CDN (content delivery network) refers to a geographically distributed group of servers which work together to provide fast delivery of Internet content. A CDN allows for the quick transfer of assets needed for loading Internet content including HTML pages, javascript files, stylesheets, images, and videos.

So, if you want to use a tracker on a dedicated server located in Europe, but you have traffic from Asia, redirects will take a few seconds, which has a negative impact on your profit.

Unfortunately but obviously, the cloud solution has its disadvantages.

First of all, the statistics are maintained for a limited period of time. Secondly, since all your traffic and campaign data is located on a foreign server, other people will have access to it. All you have to do is count on their honesty 🙂

Now, let’s speak about other bonuses that Voluum has.

Voluum positions itself as a safe and reliable solution (and we have no reason to doubt it). The tracker protects your traffic from third parties so that it will not be hacked or stolen.

Also, Voluum gives you detailed information about your statistics. You can structure the data by your own target criteria – country, operator, OS, device type, conversion time, and even IP and thereby you can optimize your spending. So, if you notice that a device has no conversions and but continue to spend your budget, you can remove it from targeting and concentrate only on profitable devices.

By the way, Voluum has a split-testing option. So if you work with different offers, you can evenly distribute the traffic between them and understand which ones are more profitable.

After testing, you can direct all your traffic to the most profitable offer or set up a percentage distribution – a larger percent to the best offer and the rest of it – to other offers. This approach will increase your future impact.

So, we can conclude that Voluum is definitely one of the best trackers that are available in the market. And high levels of reliability and ease of use makes it especially tempting for new members of affiliate community. We listed the main features of the tracker but as always, you’d better check it out yourself!

And AdCombo is here to give you this opportunity 😉

Last times we talked about Facebook User Trust and the way of deceiving the interfaces. Today we will talk about antidetect services and how do they work.

How do antidetect services work?

All antidetect services are built on the open source browsers and are modifications of Chrome or Firefox.

Services differ from each other in the purpose of their use and the original purpose of their development. Geeks, that are obsessed with network security, work with Firefox Portable with installed plugins: Multilogin Canvas Defender; WebRTC Leak Shield; NoScript; User-Agent Switcher and Manager; Language Switch; Clear Flash Cookies; Cookie AutoDelete or Epic Privacy Browser, but it can’t be used for Facebook Ads.

SMM services like swSpyBrowser or MultiBrowser allow to create many accounts at the same time, distinguish between sessions and cookies but they are suited only for spam. It’s not enough for affiliate marketing.

The most relevant and appropriate solutions have been and remain Linken Sphere and Multilogin. These are quite popular options and many people think that they are equal to each other, but on closer examination, however, it turns out that they differ in terms of implementing.

Linken sphere browser is created by a russian developers team. It was created as a solution for online fraudsters to get around the anti-fraud systems (in committing operations with stolen credit cards). It was quite effective and became popular among the affiliates. The Linken Sphere team is loyal to their clients that use the browser for illegal purposes and it doesn’t make the app any worse for Facebook.

The development was carried out from the core of the CEF framework. It’s not exactly a browser but a browser framework for embedding into the other app. However, Linken Sphere became a full browser through the efforts of Tenebris team. You can’t install plugins, there is no auto-complete function and it doesn’t save your passwords (that every browser does) but other than that, it’s the real working browser.

Linken Sphere works on the WebKit engine and it means that Firefox and Internet  emulation is not the best idea. The Linken Sphere’s support-managers don’t recommend it as well. Until quite recently, Linken Sphere changed Canvas and WebGL prints at the level of JS (which anti-fraud systems could recognize). But starting with the 7th version, the substitution is built into the browser code natively and invisible for anti-fraud systems. Currently, when you create a system configuration with Google Chrome, Linken Sphere emulates the 63rd version of Chrome (which is not good as we said above).

Currently, there are more than 260,000 user prints in the Linken Sphere database . The public base includes 60,000 free prints and more than 200,000 sell for $3 each (and each one of them is for one person). Unfortunately, we didn’t have an opportunity to network with representatives of the Tenebris team, so we can’t say where the fingerprint database comes from. The updating of the database occurs one or several times a month. Public (free) prints are not good for working with Facebook Ads. You got to buy a new print for each new account.

The diversity of settings in the interface gives an opportunity to flexible set configuration to get a fingerprint. However, nobody can tell for sure how viable each generated configuration will be.

Of course, there is a bad part too – you can’t share the generated profiles with your friends and partners and can’t run the same copy of the program on different devices. By the way, many teams have so-called farmers – their main task is to prepare profiles for working with CPA-offers. Launching accounts isn’t farmer’s work, they only prepare accounts for work. The transfer of these accounts from farmers to buyers in Linken Sphere is a big problem. To work as a group of 5 people You need to buy 5 six-month copies of Linken Sphere at a price of $ 500 USD per subscription for a group of 5 people.

However, Linken Sphere offers some interesting and useful tools:

  • Web Emulator. It is a mechanism to automate current tasks, aimed to improve the convenience and quality of obtaining the necessary cookies in sessions. It’s able in a multi-threaded mode to visit automatically the specified websites, being on the necessary number of pages during the specified time;
  • Converter that allows you to upload collected cookies from a real browser to the Linken Sphere emulation;
  • Paste-like a human. This function is designed to speed up copying without attracting the attention of AF systems. The built-in mechanism performs insertion from the buffer using random delays between inputs, thereby repeating the usual human input.

 

There is a trial version at a good price of $ 30 USD for 7 days. A week is enough for you to understand if you need such a service or not.

The Multilogin browser fingerprint platform is supported by a team of developers from Estonia. There are two available browsers: Stealthfox and Mimic , created on the basis of Firefox and Chromium. Initially, Multilogin was created as an app for managing multiple accounts in social networks and worked only with Firefox. Later, developers added some new anti-detection features and Firefox was replaced by the more advanced browsers. The transformation of the antidetection configuration interface from the browser to a separate app allowed the developers to solve problems with the interface complexity.

Multilogin can’t fully imitate the Safari browser, but it can emulate MacOS using Chrome and FireFox as browsers. Moreover, development on the basis of full browsers makes possible to add such features as installing plugins, auto-complete function and an ability to save your passwords. It is the best option if you are going to work with accounts for a long time.

The substitution of Canvas and WebGL prints occurs natively in the browser code, without using JS. Multilogin adds noises to the Alpha channel of the image color in Canvas. Moreover, it is considered that such a method can’t be detected by the identification systems. Today Multilogin uses 68th version Chrome engine (current version is 71) and so prints get the devices’ configuration from 68th to 71st. And these data comply with the current Multilogin database of its own prints.

Yes, Miltilogin has its own database of real user prints, which is updated in real time. Of course, the developers refused to tell the resources that collect prints, but hinted that these are the “entertainment segment” sites (not the ones with adult content). Moreover, Multilogin not only collects and constantly updates the current database of prints. Along with this, the indicators of the prints’ uniqueness are continuously being analyzed (as on https://browserleaks.com/canvas). And the distribution of prints is based on the user’s filters, collected analytics and the statistical probability of getting a print.

There is a pleasant bonus – the opportunity to work as a team and freely use the fingerprints of the “farmed” profiles on different machines within the same team. Buying a bunch of subscriptions is not necessary, just take the more expensive fare. And this is where Multilogin wins Linken Sphere, but the marketing element makes Linken Sphere the more popular solution.

Since Multilogin is being developed solely as a solution for Internet marketing, you will not find WebEmulators or other tools for illegal actions here.

Finally, let’s talk about price. Multilogin has a free trial period of 14 days. Since Facebook cookies are stored on the unknown devices for exactly 14 days (Before registration. If the device didn’t register or login to the system, this set of cookies will be deleted and overwritten), you have enough time to blind the account and launch an ad campaign.

We want to note that this article doesn’t aim to designate one solution as the best. This guide has only educational (not advertising) purposes. The publication doesn’t contain any advertising links or calls for the acquisition, only analysis.

Also, we do not urge anyone to use the above software for illegal and fraudulent purposes.

Finally, the topic of identifying users on a network can be much broader and deeper than we understand it. If you have any questions or comments – please post them in a comment so we all can study the question more deeply and more expertly.

The main rule of Facebook (that everybody always breaks) is that each person can have only one Facebook account. Sometimes accounts are blocked not because of breaking the social network’s policy or rules but because of creating fake accounts. Moreover, in such cases Facebook provides no reasons – it just blocks your account and that’s it.

According to Zuckerberg, the network’s antifraud is programmed to impose the maximum punishment for fake accounts. Sometimes Facebook doesn’t block fake accounts which it has already found, to find other accounts (which break the rules) using the recognition system and big-data analysis. Fair enough though – with the exception of data breaches, 99% of the network’s problems arise out of fake accounts. Zuck detects and blocks them on time, thus protecting his platform in general.

And we have to admit, he’s doing quite well.

Facebook relies more on the analysis of behavioral factors rather than on fingerprinting and user identification. The limit of the profile quality depends on the various combinations of three groups of factors: Facts – Connections – Actions. So, first things first.

Facts are the data (related to a Facebook profile) including the following info:

  • Devices system configs (mobile and desktop). All the computers and mobile phones that were used to log in, visible connected devices (or visible within one wi-fi connection), devices within one IP range;
  • All cookies, IP-addresses, DNS used and other elements of the network;
  • Added payments instruments;
  • The content of ad accounts (businesses, domains, apps, creative materials, etc.);
  • The content of a profile (list of friends, a text of messages, groups, fanpages etc.). All the data from the security panel that you can download (My Facebook Information tab).

 

Connections are the links Facebook may establish that related to a profile as well:

  • All cases of a match of facts with other accounts;
  • All identical (or almost identical) actions with other accounts.

 

Actions are the consistent activity of devices, connected with a profile, during which facts and connections are emerging.

Facebook collects all three data-bases. They are connected to each other and regulate one another. Eventually, the system assigns a quality indicator (based on the analysis of the data) to every network’s user. Facebook calls it USER_TRUST while Google calls it Quality Score.

And there raise two interesting questions:

  1. How to organize actions in your account in such a way that they would act differently than other fake accounts?
  2. How to achieve a sufficient level of anonymity when the system couldn’t find any connection or fact that matches with other accounts?

 

However, with regard to behavior, there are a lot of different guides (based on experience and practice of other moneymakers) on how to create an account before registration, after registration, and before the first ad campaigns. But, unfortunately, we can’t say the same thing about the second question. Speaking of anonymity and confrontation the antifraud systems – it’s not that easy.

As we said before, 99% of Facebook problems are made by fake accounts. Spam, credit card fraud, black-hat marketing, social engineering, angry russian hackers – all of this is the work of fake accounts. And a man would be an idiot to add a stolen credit card using his real name.

Obviously, such a big platform as Facebook uses the most advanced identification technologies. The network starts watching you before you create an account there. Up-to-date farming methods take into account cookie analysis and visiting websites with Facebook Pixel. Otherwise, a successful launching is not assured.

Modern identification systems are based on the fingerprintjs technology developed by Valentin Vasilyev 5 years ago: https://github.com/Valve/fingerprintjs. Facebook Antifraud includes the collection of data on users (using fingerprinting) and receiving information from other services (which also use fingerprinting). All the data are collected on the principle of “Facts – Connections – Actions” and then Facebook AI takes the lead. It processes the information and ranks it on the “USER_TRUST” concept.

The most efficient way to identify a user is the js-requests to Canvas, WebGL and WebRTC interfaces. The data obtained are transformed into hashes which make up the combined print of a user. We will consider the way of deceiving the interfaces more closely in our next article! Stay tuned 😉

Networking is first and foremost a business process.

Every person in affiliate marketing knows that the main goal of visiting digital events is networking. We can read this word in every chat either as on every industry group or forum. But not everyone understands the correct meaning of what networking is. Okay, let’s get to it.

Business coaches, top-level affiliates, over-reached networks’ managers, online entrepreneurs and those who come to the conferences just to have fun – they all say that networking is the biggest part of success in every business. But no one explains what is it, how does it work, and what one needs to do to make his networking opportunities the right way.

Webmasters and affiliates are always the self-made businessmen. They got in the online marketing industry just by themselves, and that explains why the major part of them doesn’t have some special education or a degree in business. That is why everyone understands the process of networking differently and when it comes to face-to-face communication they act completely intuitive. Someone does it well due to a natural charisma and someone gets mixed up because of shyness and carelessness.

And that is the main reason for writing this guide – to show that networking is a complicated process and to learn all of you (affiliates, managers, businessmen, etc.) how does networking work.

Let’s start with the basics. Networking is a complex and difficult process that includes the collection and analysis of information; communication; make great connections and increasing loyalty.
In other words, networking is not just drinking with your AM to get private offers and bonuses but a range of actions that may bring an amazing profit. But first things first.

Gaining, collecting, and analysis of information

The crux of any affiliate event is communication. Most of the visitors are acting wrong because they don’t see (and don’t understand) all the opportunities they have there.

Actually, there are tons of valuable insights that may help you but you need to learn how to listen, how to ask the right questions, analyze and structure the information you received. Remember – there is no such a thing as useless knowledge, you just don’t know how to use it right yet.

Affiliates can get a lot of important info from the managers. What’s going on in a company, does a network have any new releases coming, maybe some of the managers work in another network now? Also, don’t forget about mass-media. What service buys more ads than others? What relationships do networks have between them? Who owns a company? Traffic networks may tell you which affiliate networks are their partners (so you know where do they monetize their unsold traffic) and which geos are not popular at all. Not bad, right?

You can get lots of interesting information and valuable tips if you know what questions to ask. You may learn what companies are bigger than others, what relationships do the companies have, which network may hold the payouts, who sells the products with the side effects.

 

 

Network owners are the best information sources. Due to their position, they know much more than others. Of course, they will not share any exclusive information with just anyone. You need to be a really useful person to get the information from them directly.

Senior managers are less important but still very useful. They have been in the business for a long time and know the market pretty good. Moreover, they may pick up some information from owners. But keep in mind that senior managers know exactly what they can or can’t say. Getting really valuable tips from them is not that easy.

Experienced managers. A regular manager goes to an event to get for his network as many affiliates as it’s possible. They usually don’t care about relationships or economics on the market, a manager sees not affiliates but potential clients for his company. You can learn from him a lot about his network, inner relationships, departments, business processes. Those managers don’t usually watch what they say and this is a good bonus for you.

Top-level affiliates. Generally, they are always just about to start their own online-marketing project. No doubt – every strong CPA team will start their own service, product or CPA network, sooner or later. The leaders of those teams know a lot of inner information and can be a very useful person. But be careful – they are looking for insights as well as you. You may not even notice how you become a source of information 😉

Drunk affiliates. Webmasters go to a conference to have fun, talk about marketing and beg your AM for bonuses and private offers. An affiliate that doesn’t know the basic rules of networking may be a good information source because he doesn’t watch what he says, doesn’t try to get any private info from you and likes to drink 🙂

Bloggers and Medias. You can meet different kind of bloggers at the events. Some of them used to be good affiliates or agents of a network/service before and can provide you some really interesting and useful information, tips and lifehacks. Talk with them, share contacts – who knows where it will take you 😉
But there is another type of bloggers – they are always looking for some interesting facts and news but can’t offer anything in return. Be careful – they will try to get any information from you and then you realize that they have nothing useful to share. That kind of bloggers comes to the events only for personal gain.

The main thing you need to learn – networking is a mutual process. No one will share valuable information with a no-name person. You have to be useful to be needed.

Meeting new people and making the right connections

Roughly speaking, networking has two kinds of profit for you: expertise and the right contacts. It’s simple – a person that has the right knowledge and skills can be a very useful information source. People in the niche are glad to share their info if you are able to offer something useful in return.

When you are a newbie, you have not so much valuable expertise and knowledge and you have to get it. The more you know, the more you are needed. And after a while, you get a lot of helpful info and insights. After analyzing, it turns into useful information that you can exchange for other insights.

And when you have an expertise, you become a useful person. When you are useful, you have access to other useful people – you got the right connections. Not the ones that the crime lords have, but access to people with helpful and interesting information.

This is a coax of networking – having access to the right people at any time.

Building a pool of the right contacts

A person that has both an expertise and access to the right people becomes incredibly useful. Everybody tries to make the acquaintance with him, have a talk, get your contacts. All our niche hinges on communication.

But you have to understand that you never know what person you will need at the next moment. This is the biggest bonus of communication – the right connections that sneak up on you help to promote your business and lead to a new level.

When you know every valuable person in the niche, it becomes much easier to get new insights, find new capable affiliates for your team, settle for the integration with other services, etc.

Increasing the loyalty

Networking is face-to-face communication, not callous chatting. Not a secret that one phone call may be way more effective than chatting for a week. But a face-to-face meeting is as effective as a week of phone calls.

Meeting with your colleagues and partners, companies representatives provides new opportunities for getting better working conditions, access to private offers and products. Also, it’s much easier to find partners for your team in person.

Live communication works great with the “Webmaster <= Network” scheme. Networks are pretty loyal to the affiliates that make leads (and profit, of course). But it works not so good the other way round. A publisher has a choice among the dozens of networks but a network is interested in EVERY publisher (because its main goal is to get as many leads as it’s possible).

The participation of the networks in any niche event is a competition for affiliate attention. The ratio of networks and services to affiliates and webmasters is about 60/40, respectively. That is why networks take conferences and other events so seriously.

This is particularly important for the major international events because a network pays not only for the sponsorship but for flight tickets, hotels, and the managers’ maintenance. Sometimes they need to buy additional tickets to a conference. Don’t forget that all the merchandising and souvenirs cost money as well.

So we can see that the participation in any conference costs a lot. And a network/service has to be sure that it’s worth it. That’s why companies are so serious about their business trips.

How networks prepare for the events

Every network prepares differently. Some of them send 7-8 managers to reach more potential clients, others send just a couple of the best managers. Someone send the most effective employees and someone sends the most beautiful ones (girls, usually).

Some networks hire only good-looking, pretty girls to draw affiliates attention. Most part of the networks even has a specific guidance note on how to behave during an event. By the way, the instructions for men and women are different.

Some networks buy sponsorship a year before a conference, some do this at the last minute but they all come at the events for a result. And affiliates should be learning from them.

Managers make meeting schedules with the most interesting participants of a conference in advance. There are a few services that help to plan a meeting at a given time at a particular location. Usually, those schedules are painted on minutes so the sooner you arrange a meeting, the better.

Moreover, support managers try to talk to literally everyone at the event. Quite often their KPI depends on the number of contacts they got.

Frequently, the people from CIS countries who come at AWA/AWE for the first time are pretty surprised that nobody drinks alcohol before the end of the first day. And this is right – drank manager is not effective.

Also, networks give a lot of attention to the appearance of the managers – colors, patterns, etc. They need to draw attention not only with the products but with the look as well.

Some people in the niche think that going to conferences and business trips, in general, is a privilege. Other countries, people, memories. Actually, those trips can really wear you out.

A manager needs to be on his feet from early morning until late night, constant communication, there are no time-outs. Two-days conferences with afterparties mean 3-4 hours for sleep per day. The rest of the time, the manager has to be friendly and welcoming.

Constant communication for two days is a lot harder than it sounds. If you think otherwise – you never been at such events or worked half power or didn’t work at all.

People at the events are different too. You meet sociable, communicative people and meet shy and nervous ones as well. usually, managers have different cases scenario of dialogue to improve their efficiency.

Features on communicating

Don’t forget to pay attention to the cultural background when you talk to people. In some cultures, people appreciate tenacity and confidence. Other ones tend to embellish their skills and experience. Some people have no sense of community at all – there are a lot of insolent people at the conferences.

There are situations when you meet a person that knows nobody but you. That kind of person starts to hang around you. They may follow you just to have a company with somebody. You need to convince him to talk to someone else, gently, but firmly.

Spy games

Experienced guests of the conference know that rivals don’t rest. Everyone wants to know more about colleagues, partners, competitors. That is why everyone pulls the wool over other people’s eyes there. Networks lie about their traffic, affiliates lie about their experience and skills.

So it’s always better to get information not first-hand but from the outside. Everyone lies about themselves. Some people lie a bit, some of them lie a lot but there is no exception.

Digital events are made for exhibitors, it is an opportunity to show their best. So there is no surprise they lie in the hope of getting more clients.

What we are trying to say is that you can’t see all the profit you can get at once but don’t underrate it. Collecting information, analyzing it and using just at the right moment is hard. You can’t exchange your knowledge and contacts for payouts and you need some time to turn it into money. But sometimes its value costs more than money.

Think about it next time you will go to a conference and decide what’s better: have fun and get drunk or do some networking 😉


Who has read up we can add a bonus as a list of tips:

  • Get a good night’s rest before an event. You’re no good to anyone if you are sleepy;
  • Don’t hesitate, come and have a chat with everybody. You know nothing about a person before you talk to him;
  • Feel free to ask questions – even if an answer is not helpful, you lose nothing;
  • Focus on collecting information. Many people can easily have a chat with anyone and gain some useful info but what’s the point if they forget it in a couple of days;
  • Don’t be afraid to recommend useful contacts. If your contact is not helpful for a person, nobody will blame you. If it is helpful, you become helpful too;
  • It’s okay to make notes. Some people still have notebooks, some write the info right on the business cards;
  • Make more selfies with the people you talk to. Photos help to remember what you talked about;
  • Don’t be scared of sharing information you have – people with knowledge and insights are highly appreciated (if it isn’t bad for your business);
  • Don’t lose business cards you got. Keep it even if you are not going to use;
  • Be friendly and cheerful to everybody even if you tired – nobody likes to talk to a sad and limp person;
  • Don’t impose. Sometimes people don’t want to talk even if they come to an event. Find someone else;
  • Don’t drink too much alcohol. Being drunk have nothing in common with Business talks.

Remember we launched a boobs-iPhone contest with UpSize – CL? It’s time to post the results of this little competition. We will not reveal the identity of the winner but iPhone X is on its way to him (oh her – who knows) 😉

But the anonymity of our winner doesn’t mean that we can’t get any feedback at all!  We learned how he had run this offer, had made all the leads and (had got) get the prize. And, of course, we are going to share it with you.

It would seem that it’s impossible to win a contest like this one without using Facebook. But! Our publisher made more leads than anybody else with push-ups and native ads. He launched a couple of campaigns, saw really good conversion rates and launched his campaigns on all the sources he had. As a result, he made about 150 leads for the weekend.

Of course, there were some difficulties – an endless process of testing, running campaigns in the negatives, white-hat campaigns did less profit than black-hat ones and so on. But our winner didn’t get desperate and continued his work.

And here he is! Waiting for his new iPhone X!

Those who took part but didn’t win – you all know how much AdCombo loves contests. Another one is coming soon, stay tuned! 😉

AdCombo Blitz contest is still active and we are waiting for the one worthy of a new iPhone X. Remember the rules? Make more leads than others on UpSize – CL (5481) and get an iPhone. Haven’t heard about the contest? Check the details here.

So, we decided to give you a bit more motivation to use your chance. And what we did? We have bumped the payouts for this offer a couple of days ago! Even if you don’t win an iPhone, you will make good money anyway.
Moreover, today we are going to talk about how you should run this offer in Chile and give you some free tips. We talked to our managers, analyzed the statistics and this is what we’ve learned.

Native Ads. Lots of native ads. Most parts of the affiliates (65-70%) run traffic through native ads there and the results are pretty good. Like, really. Other 30-35% go to Facebook and push-ups (which is not bad too).
Also, the advertiser guarantees the 30% approval rate minimum even if a call-center fails. So you can be sure that even on the bad days it won’t be lower, and most of the time it’s even higher.

Speaking of traffic type – clearly mobile. Most part of traffic goes from mobile devices. VTR Mobile, Entel, Claro, Nextel… Well, there is indeed little point in listing the operators, because the most used by affiliates – the most popular ones. Also, no surprise that the most popular browser is Chrome.

Okay, this is the really exciting part now. We want to share the most profitable creative pairs. Experience and ongoing analysis have shown that for UpSize – CL (5481) better use this combo:

[11360 -> 19246]

Pre-lander: PF-Dating-UpSize-MX-es

Lander: UpSize + action

Also, the next pre-lander goes really good too!

[19799 -> 19246]

Pre-lander: 7Days – UpSize – CL

Lander: UpSize + action

Pay your attention to these pre-landers because this is exactly what hooks people. Use it in your creative materials to make them more appropriate for the audience.

So, here it is. All the information you need to get a profit from this offer. Make a bit of an effort and an iPhone X is yours 😉
