[NEW GUIDE] How to Optimize Your Landers to Make More Money!

There are many tools out there that can tell you your Ping time, load times, and other interesting information presented through colorful graphs and pie charts. Most of us, beyond running these tests are clueless as to what they really mean.

Well, if your page is loading slowly, many people on mobile or web will just cancel out and leave altogether – but you paid for the click already so you lose out not ONCE but potentially multiple times because of opportunity costs.

Why does this happen? The answer is not complicated if you think about it…

Imagine this, you are browsing the web – wanting to read the latest breaking news for example on the tragic Germanwings plane crash that just happened recently.

You click on an image on news.google.com that has a picture of the blackbox, it opens in a new tab, but after a few seconds nothing, it still says page is loading. You close the tab, go back and click on another news article on the page.

See what just happened? You never, ever saw what you wanted to because the image you clicked on (that got your interest) never materialized in form of a web page due to some connection issue. This happens more often than you think.

From an affiliate marketing standpoint, what just happened was you had a high CTR banner, someone clicked it because they wanted to learn more about what they saw on  the banner with that shocking picture; but when they did click, they could see NOTHING.   Maybe due to a connection issue, NO PAGE came up so they closed the screen.   BUT, you as the affiliate marketer were charged for the traffic regardless.

So let me teach you what you can do to lower your load time, and also your lost traffic and increase your profits.

Here we go…

An Easy way to $150/day with mobile pop traffic [CASE STUDY]

If you are struggling with affiliate marketing, then this might help you out.

I just finished a killer case study that’s getting raving reviews.   In it I talk about how I took a type of vertical I never ran before, ran tests and split tested a ton of landing pages, then built the campaign up to $150/day in profit.

It all started when aStarbucks Offer couple months back I decided I wanted to play around with the trends of today and current events and began thinking – how can I make money capitalizing on the fact that people like free shit, people are broke at the moment — so they want free shit, and that people are influenced by the media so much I can use it to get broad targeting and tons of cheap volume.

Well, putting everything together in an equation resulted in me throwing up a campaign about a celeb named Paul Walker, I’m sure you know the guy – he’s the dude from Fast n Furious that died in a car crash. May he R.I.P.

[CASE STUDY] Horizontal Scaling Mobile to 10 Different Traffic Sources

I spent $500 dollars trying out 10 different traffic sources to scale horizontal running an offer for mobile CPI over at AppFlood [sign up here]     Many gurus out there say, if you have a winning campaign you can just cut n paste it to other traffic sources and you will be stacking that money.

I wanted to put that “simple and easy cut n paste method” to the test , so I took one of my killer, strong campaigns where i spent high xxxx on data, and had optimized on my favorite traffic source and decided to load up $50 bucks into 10 different traffic sources and bid everywhere the minimum CPM or CPC they require.    Now on some traffic sources this was $2.50 CPM,  on others 0.05 CPC, and so on so forth.

See My Office & Meet my Media Buying Team

3/3/2015 – We’ve moved to our new office – The Castle; at the end of November of last year.  We are currently having the exterior finished and when it will be,  I’ll be posting up photos of the new and improved team.   My media buying team has trippled in size since the move, now I have 21 full time employees running campaigns.   Why?  Because it is necessary to stay ahead.

When I started media buying, I started right away with 1 full time assistant, and one full time designer.    So knowing nothing, I was in the hole a couple grand a month even before I executed my first mouse click to login to my CPA Network.      Some might say I was crazy,  but I was under the belief that as long as I approach affiliate marketing like a business,  I will succeed, and I did – big time 5 months in.. but that’s another story.

Guys from The Team Having Fun!

I was down and in the red over $20,000 by the time I figured out how to make money buying ads, and then it hit – really hard.   Instead of saving all that cash, or buying fancy toys (like a nice car, or bigger house, or going to the cocoa islands) I reinvested all that cash, rented an office,  hired more staff and coached & trained my employees how to run campaigns so we can Stack That Money!     And it WORKED and continues to work to this day!

It’s no secret that making high $XXXX/day requires a lot of work not only that; now it takes SPEED,  SYSTEMS and ORGANIZATION!
