At first, it may seem to some that it will be quite simple and easy to try arbitrage. In general, you pick up an offer, for example, dating, then get a link in 2 minutes, to which you need to drive traffic. Register in some popunder network, replenish your account, set a web link to your own offer and activate advertising. Then you cut off ineffective sites, lustfully estimating the profit. This scheme, of course, worked, about 20 years ago. To date, dozens of different parameters are waiting for you, let's say: EPM, CPL, EPC, ROAS, CPA, CTR, CR. It is necessary to understand what Retarget, Approval, RevShare, Conversion, Native, Prelander, etc. mean. In the event that you do not have knowledge, you will spend your own budget, and quickly.
First, you need to figure out how to find traffic, how to find a product, and how to do analytics.
There are more than 50 types of different traffic: social networks, YouTube advertising, search, ASO traffic, contextual advertising, push notifications, teaser networks, and many others. It is necessary to carefully study any type of traffic, understand what it can give, how to weed out participants, and what kind of offers can be advertised. This is easier to do by visiting the platform - a catalog of affiliate programs, there is a lot of valuable information that can help in such a matter.
Selection of an offer Sometimes the selection of an offer can take weeks. There are many factors to consider, such as the reliability and reputation of the advertiser, the type of payment, the likelihood of approval, and more. You need to perfectly understand your own offer and find out in advance which specific target audience it will be suitable for. You can find an offer, for example, here aff.top or on some other serious platform.
Analysis An affiliate spends about 93% of their time on analytics. Why pay anything to the site if it brings a meager leads? And there are many more such sites than profitable ones. At the same time, you can make a mistake when, for example, the first platform gives participants who are passionate about gambling, the other gives connoisseurs of bowling. It is necessary to very carefully evaluate a variety of platforms, and having created a single database for one product, for the next you will need to form everything from scratch.
If you are ready to spend a lot of your own time, as well as nerves, and in addition to this you have some budget, then we recommend trying traffic arbitrage. But if you are not ready to spend your own time on tests and analytics, you will lose your budget, and quickly.
