Still being a newbie this is all new to me, it’s weird to have to forget everything you know about affiliate marketing and pretty much start fresh.

Anyway moving on, I’ve been pretty busy with some other projects outside affiliate marketing so I didn’t have much time to work on one that is showing potential. I pretty much left it gathering data for around a week now, here’s how it’s done so far.

Spend: $392.22
Revenue: $343.20
Profit: -$ 49.02
ROI: -12.50%

Nothing special but I’m happy that it didn’t lose too much money, I think with some tweaking I can get this one profitable on a small scale at first.

This campaign is pretty much broad targeting at the moment, basically for arguments sake let’s say it’s setup targeting all males aged 18+. What I plan on doing is breaking that down into age ranges so that I can identify if any ages are getting impressions/clicks without converting. That way I can increase my CTR and hopefully bring costs down and push it into being profitable, the offer seems very steady at the moment in the conversion rate and EPC.

This may be a simple tip but if I find out that it’s the same age ranges converting then it could literally mean the difference between losing and making money… Hopefully I’ll be able to share more information on this subject as I go through it.

I did setup a new campaign using the same picture and ad text in my winning combination but for some reason they disapproved it . Obviously having it running in my account at the moment I know that it’s not against any of their terms, unless there is a rule that you can’t have the exact same ad replicated somewhere which means I’ll have to tweak the ad text slightly making it unique.

I will see what the outcome is as I resubmitted it.
