Hi My Name is Rob Thompson,

I am a moderately successful Affiliate, using FaceBook as my primary traffic source. I am looking to expand my knowledge in things such as Push Ads and Native Ads. I only started marketing on Facebook in September last year and managed to do about 9k USD in my fist few months. By April 2020, I made over 500k on Facebook and made Clickbank Platinum. As you all know, post the summer , we have had a small downturn due to elections and of course the impact of Covid-19. So since August I have only managed to add another 300k but still happy I managed that. Dealing with political fallouts of vendors DMCA'ing each other and impacting their affiliates, on various Affiliate platforms, its been a tough year, but a good learning year for me. My goal is to hit 7 figures by end of December to mark my 1st year as an affiliate. 800k USD to date and to add another 200k by December is a tall order now due to the market status, but I continue to push myself to achieve these results.

I look forward to working inside these forums

Cheers

Rob

Welcome to AffiliateFix!

Good work Rob! My kind of numbers. I don't use FB much, mostly Google and a hand full of other Tier One Traffic sources. However, my peers are always encouraging me to hit FB more than I do.

Are you white hat, or black hat at FB?

Hello and welcome to AffiliateFix, Rob! Sounds like you're doing really great so far.

I am looking to expand my knowledge in things such as Push Ads and Native Ads.

Have you had a chance to check out the Native Ads forum yet?

its been a tough year, but a good learning year for me.

That's always a win. Some people don't stick it out if they hit a bump in the road. You're obviously committed to your goal(s).

to add another 200k by December is a tall order now due to the market status, but I continue to push myself to achieve these results.

If there's any way that we can help, just let us know.

Enjoy the forums, Rob!

Wealthier, developed countries such as U.S., Canada, UK, Australia, etc. Typically the most expensive geo for ads.

CORRECT! It really is that simple and the prices for promoting are reflected.

This is the gold advice
Just don't quit, its half the battle

Yes, 100% Facebook ads

The numbers are amazing, but I would like to know. Is it all profits without including the advertising costs?

You need to hedge your costs when buying network traffic --I found 17% of push traffic was nonhuman/fraud testing 2 network's traffic. One network was 70% 'unusable' with interstitial ads ... just sayin'

This is what I am finding now and these tests I have done have been on two very big networks. I have tracking deployed but even that doesn't stop click fraud. I am a little put off Native and Push - seems like a money pit unless someone can say something different. My daily budget when scaling on FB to 20k+ days is between 5 and 10k per day. I just don't feel comfortable spending money like that on other platforms until I can see my small tests work.

 

[Graybeard]

until I can see my small tests work.

Yeah, it's a: "show me the money" sort of venture
If you have established products that convert --your test should be meaningful as to viability ...
