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.

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!

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 😉

AdCombo at ASW 2019: Step by step

Million-lightbulb signs, clubs and casino, cocktail parties and excellent networking opportunityWhere it all collides?
Right! You know, there is no place like Vegas!

But it’s also the place where publishers, influencers, media owners and advertisers meet (to share their insights and network) every year. This time more than 6,000 digital marketers joined together at Affiliate Summit West 2019 under one roof in Hotel Paris Las Vegas. And AdCombo is always on board.

Now it’s high time to keep you updated on future of the affiliate marketing in 2019 and share a must-read guide to ASW 19. We want to modify the format of how we report the events. A thorough analysis of the event’s arrangement may help you to understand how to organize your time in a more productive way.

ASW is divided into 4 parts: Meet Market, exhibition, seminars, networking, and parties. So, step by step. Let’s start with the first item on the agenda – welcome day.

Day 1: Welcome day

Usually most of the affiliates, CPA networks and bloggers arrive in Vegas one the day before the start of ASW. Why?

Let’s talk a little bit about parties at ASW 😉
There are plenty of cocktail parties where you can meet influencers, top affiliates, and AMs. Your goal here is to collect as many useful contacts as you can. It will be wise also to prepare a business card for the exchange with interesting persons. You never know when these cards may be useful 🙂
By the way, we do not advise you to leave WhatsApp number as your business contact. Otherwise, your contact could be probably blocked. Because this social network is for private communication, not for business.

Every year Adcombo visits such events in Las Vegas (we advise you to do the same 😉
F.e. this year we met with our affiliates in the 
affiliate business club as well as at the Adbuyers MeetUp. Also, we have got a VIP invitation to Bangkok Bash from Gerard Della Porta, that was a good opportunity to meet lovely FBqueen and Tim Burd! And finally – AdCombo Team continued practicing extreme kind of sports jointly with our partners. Last year we were skiing, snowboarding and even took a part in the kart racing with you. The first day in Las Vegas we began with climbing a mountain!

We are convinced – such activity may not only bring fun but also strengthen the relationship. And such pre-conference day is good charger before the intensive networking at ASW.

Day 2: MeetMarket

The preface: ASW is one of the biggest international conferences and the west part of the affiliate conference union: Affiliate Summit. It means, that every year more than 4 thousand people, who specialize in the different types of CPA industry, meet there. At Affiliate Summit West the vast majority of participants are affiliates, influencers, and CPA-networks. Actually, their professional level is also different. That’s why Adcombo may say with certainty – this event must be visited despite your professional level.

The Meet Market is an opening day and also a 6-hour exhibition and networking event packed with affiliates, networks and technology providers. By the way – the first day is a good chance for making new acquaintances 😉
We prepared a piece of advice for those of you who are a newbie in the conference area – we advise you to be very polite and start a conversation with small talk – it’ll make your business partner more willing to talk 🙂
That little trick allows you to find out more industrial insights.

The 6th of January became the first conference day in 2019 for AdCombo! We were happy to spend it at the market table L17 surrounded by our partners. This format allows us to devote time to the face-to-face communication in AdCombo private meeting pods.

Some useful insights: The opening day started with the speech of Neil Patel and his forecast for the future of “Nutra” in the USA. The Health & Beauty (“Nutra”) vertical is slowly dying on USA market due to the legal regulation. That’s why it’s time to conquer the Tier2 and Tier3 countries. So, do not forget that AdCombo has a big variety of GEOs (F.e. recently we have opened Arabian GEOs) 😉

Days 3, 4, 5: Welcome to AdCombo booth!

These days are considered to be more productive. Networking, speeches of industry leaders and private meetings with your AM – what is the reason to organize such events.

6-8 of January we met our partners at the booth №616. We are always glad to receive feedback from you on the souvenir products. You shared emotions with us on the Instagram, tagged us in stories and send pics from the event on FB =) Thank you all for coming and participating!

It’s time to make a conclusion

So, we came all the way through the ASW and what we have noted:

  • Do not forget about parties organized around the ASW – it’s a good place for close communication with interesting people;
  • Visit Meet Market at the first day – it’s your opportunity to have a face-to-face communication;
  • Do not forget about speeches – sometimes you may find out actual insights that you may apply in your business approach;
  • Prepare specific questions in advance;
  • Make your own business cards (in case you meet the right business partners).

 

Thank you for reading our guide to #ASW19. Hope it was useful and see you at the next event 😉

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.

That isn’t news, it’s not enough just to choose an offer, make an ad campaign and sit there and wait for leads. The right approach should motivate people to buy your products. Of course, finding the right way to your audience is just a matter of experience, a never-ending process of trial and error.

What is a marketing hook? It’s a sample, something to give your leads a taste of what they’re missing if they don’t click. A motivation, a call to action, highlighting.

So here are some life-hacks, hooks that will help you even if you don’t have much experience yet.

  • Draw their attention

According to CEB research, 57% of people have already made up their minds before reaching your hook. The other 43% need a nudge. This is the chance to motivate your audience to take real steps toward becoming a customer or client. It can be the determining factor between a lead and a conversion. We think that the call to action is the most important part of your site or ad campaign. Commands such as “Try!” “Do!” “Feel!”  compel people to act.

For example, “Give in your cravings and buy Chocolate Slim!”, “Watch this – Goji Cream makes your skin look younger!” or “Stop wasting your money – buy Denta Seal and your teeth will be white and healthy!”.

  • Show your audience, there is a better way

Sounds sad but dissatisfaction is your friend. In 2017, 52% of people said they were happy. If over 45% of the population is dissatisfied, then it’s your responsibility to satisfy them 😉 You just need to find out what better future do they want.

What do your offers do that can improve people’s lives? Hook them with a tutorial or an entertaining look at what they could be or what they could have if they got a product.

  • Find their pressure point and use it

People often have been uncomfortable for a while already and the solution just hadn’t presented itself. This is where you and your hooks come in. You need to remind the lead of a problem they have. Let them think it needs to be fixed right here right now.
Make a video about their problem. Write an article that solves this problem in part. People should think that if they click your link, the problem will be solved immediately.

  • Don’t underestimate reviews

90% (!) of customers claim that positive reviews influence their buying decisions. A positive, sincere testimonial or review could be the perfect hook to bring in leads.
But! Be careful with this one. Your feedback needs to sound like true ones. Otherwise, your leads will pass you by 🙂

  • Show them that value is not money

All those “SALE” and “DISCOUNT” make your ads sound “salesy”. You should present value from the other side. If you use dollar amounts, you sound like a salesman in a shop. Better show them what they could have if they click on your link.

You should sell not a product but a solution to their problem. Ask yourself, how can you help your customers? That is the real value of your product and the thing you can hook your customers with.

 

We bet that using these 5 simple rules for your ads will make your campaigns more profitable and attractive for visitors.
That’s it, stay tuned for more useful tips 🙂

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 😉
