starting with native affiliate marketing

[yairg]

Want to start doing native affiliate marketing (Tabula/Outbrain)
I have experience in the world of dropshipping and meta-funded marketing so I'm not completely starting with zero knowledge.
Can anyone help me understand how and where to start?
What tracking software do I need? How to choose offers/niches
And what spy tools do I need.
I would appreciate advice and help, thank you very much

I’d suggest starting with a tutorial and learning it from the ground up, or simply asking AI for help.

I’d pick one offer, build one simple pre-sell page, set up the domain/SSL/redirects properly, and test with a small budget first.

Your dropshipping experience will actually translate well — you already understand the funnel: ad → landing page → conversion. Native is similar but the offer isn't yours, so tracking and offer selection matter more.

Quick answers to your questions:

**Tracking:** BeMob is free up to 100,000 events/month and works fine for native. You don't need Voluum or RedTrack until you're spending $500+/month on traffic. The key thing with native tracking is making sure your campaign IDs and site IDs are passing correctly so you know which placements convert.

**Choosing offers:** For native, start with email submits or sweepstakes offers — broad appeal, low commitment for the user, easier to convert from a native ad. Stay away from high-payout finance/insurance offers at first, they require more targeted landing pages and the approval rates kill your ROI when you're learning.

**Spy tools:** Adplexity Native is the standard but it's ~$200/month. If you're just starting, spend that money on traffic instead. Browse Taboola/Outbrain directly as a user on a news site, see what ads are running, and model your angles after what's been running for weeks (if it's still up, it's probably working).

**The real advice:** Pick ONE offer. Build ONE landing page. Set a $50/day budget on one native network. Run for 3 days minimum before touching anything. The #1 mistake with native is killing campaigns before the algorithm optimizes.
