I need tips about casino affiliate marketing

[hmalfs]

Hi,

I am getting into the casino affiliate marketing business. I tried using Zeropark as my traffic source but got no real conversions/FTD on my traffic, I just got a few signups. Therefore, I would like to adjust my strategy. I would like to ask to a few things to fellow forum members who are in casino affiliate marketing business for a while:

-Which ad network network(s) work well for conversions, I mean, which ones are more cost-effective?

-Which casino affiliate marketing programs, that work on a revenue share basis, tend to retain their casino players (as depositing players) for the longest time, on average?

-Does the system works better by advertising directly the casino landing page URL directly or using a casino affiliate website instead?

-Does the betting business/offers work better than casino offers?

-Do I need to hire a specialist to optimize my campaigns, by means of tracking? If so, which tracking software should I use?

I thank you in advance!!!!
Best regards,

WOW! That is a load of questions. I'm surprised anyone would try to enter into the adult marketing, or any marketing, without first learned these things before launching campaigns.

Which ad network network(s) work well for conversions, I mean, which ones are more cost-effective?

Those are two very different, very distinct, questions. Any of the top adult ad networks work very well. The conversions are the result of a well thought out set of funnels that have been tested and scaled properly.

Are you skilled at building, testing, and scaling a set of funnels?
Have you researched what geos and which demographics are most responsive for conversions so you can properly target your traffic?

Which casino affiliate marketing programs, that work on a revenue share basis, tend to retain their casino players (as depositing players) for the longest time, on average?

Again, this is dependent on you! You are the one selling the magic. It's all dependent on the quality of what you deliver by way of copy, your angles, hooks, and triggers. It's dependent on the funnel from start to finish. You bring a casino the correct players then they will "stay and play".


It is apparent you need to LEARN! You obviously are jumping into something you have not learned. Ad Networks, Affiliate Programs, Trackers, Traffic, Funnels, Landers, Building Lists, Copy, Angles/Hooks/Triggers, etc., etc. You need to get a "set of brains" on these things.

If a bunch of us jumped in and answered all the questions you've asked, you still could not build a successful campaign.

Take a step back and determine exactly what you will do as your first planned efforts into adult marketing, or any marketing. If you do not have a plan that is based on the required knowledge to launch campaigns then you will flounder.

1. Get a VPS. Do not ever use a shared server (NEVER)!
2. Select one vertical and research it.
3. Select one tracker. Study and practice with it.
4. Select a couple of affiliate networks, or affiliate programs, and get your approvals. No more than two to start! Study their rules!
5. Select a traffic source and study carefully their rules.
6. Create a schedule for researching, learning (training), and working. This is a business, treat it as such!
7. Create a budget for every expense (daily, weekly, monthly). This is not an option. You must plan for expenditures.

Spending on your business will not result in immediate profits. When you do start developing profits you must put that money back in the business and not use it for personal expenses. You have to invest in the business and it will not be immediately profitable. It takes work and it takes time. You will have loads of failed campaigns. Even we experienced marketers with stable and predictable businesses have lots of failed campaigns. For every ten funnels developed we are lucky to have three, sometimes four, of them that can be scaled and called successful.

Affiliate marketing is a business and it is, like any business, necessary to learn the business, invest in the business, know that there will be successes and there will be failures. It is like that with any business.

Hi,

Thank you for your help/reply.

It is true that I do not know much about affiliate marketing. However, I also do not have a lot of spare time and would like to hire someone online to manage my marketing campaigns.

Assuming that I have the traffic tracking software, my affiliate dashboard and my ad network:

-Do I need to define permissions somewhere, as to avoid getting risks (I will not know the person I will be hiring)

-Is it better to just send screenshots from time to time, ask for review and suggestions, or give access to the dashboards?

-How often (in days) should I review my results and do changes (if required)?

-What is the initial budget, in USD, that you suggest to define converting parameters (GEOs, OS, browsers, and so on)?

Thank you once again!
Best regards,

If this is how you plan to begin as a newbie then you are planning to fail! You cannot use your current plan. Before you can hire someone to do am job in your business you must know how to do it yourself! Otherwise you will not have the skills to monitor them. This is a business, TREAT IT AS SUCH!
