Isn’t something you’ll be getting from this blog post. Your day one profiting affiliate campaigns, well, they don’t come along so often. When they do, I bet it’s because of sheer luck or someone just handed it down to you. I’ve had these… a few of them actually. And I took them all from someone else or I just got lucky “throwing shit at the wall.”

But you want to know what sucks the most? Besides losing thousands just throwing shit at the wall (I call it throwing shit at the wall, missing, hitting the fan and just making a big mess. I know a few of my consulting clients heard me say that one already), I ran them thinking they would convert forever and ever. Obviously that never happened, and I never seemed to learn my lesson from running affiliate offers like that.

I ran the offer and never knew why it was profiting. I just knew it was profiting and left it like that. Never did any split testing, never rotated through networks, offers or LPs, and just thought I was sitting under a money tree. Well, the money tree shriveled up and died, and because I never knew why I was profiting before I could never replicate the results I was creating before.

Find the common denominators in your campaign. Was it the way you wrote your ad copy? Was it the way you were targeting? Was it the offer or landing page you were using? ALWAYS be split testing so you can actually find out yourself. Rotate absolutely everything you can, dump some money into data-gathering campaigns, and see what converts on your targets and why.

Since I’ve started looking at things this way, I’ve quadrupled my profit, and I’m able to make more campaigns faster, get them profitable faster, and understand 100% why I made them profitable. I know the number one factor on all my campaigns, to why I am actually at a positive ROI.
