For instance, until recently this type of mobile content was forbidden in these countries and recently has become allowed:

• Lotteries/Gambling: Bahrain, Czech Republic, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Syrian Arab Republic, United Arab Emirates and Yemen.
• Auctions: Australia, Bahrain, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, South Africa, Syrian Arab Republic, United Arab Emirates, UK and Yemen.

A a mobile billing advertiser, that information I just gave you could make your retirement. Being first to market on of those services in just one of those countries could be extremely lucrative.

Here are two more mobile content types you are probably familiar with that were recently allowed into these countries:

• Competitions: Australia, Bahrain, Czech Republic, France, Hungary, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Syrian Arab Republic, United Arab Emirates, UK and Yemen.
• Trivia: Australia, Bahrain, Czech Republic, France, Hungary, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Syrian Arab Republic, United Arab Emirates, UK and Yemen.

As an International Mobile advertiser, you have a lot of things to pay attention to from country mobile phone adoption, smartphone adoption, content, content aggregation, banking, billing, marketing, advertising.

Well, I just cut down the guessing game in this post and gave you a few huge tips on content recently allowed in each country.

Now, for the second question. How many times have you seen amazingly beautiful sharing plugins or some other type of wordpress plugin that you wanted to get on your website? Having been a wordpress junky for the past 5 years, I can tell you that this happens to me on a weekly basis.

I always seem to land on an aesthetically beautiful website or come across a wordpress plugin that I want to use on my own site. Now all I have to do is fire up WhatWPThemeIsThat. When you arrive you will be greeted with an input text field where you will enter the domain name you want to research.

After clicking “check site” you will receive one of two results pages:

1. If the site you are investigating is not a wordpress site, WhatWPThemeIsThat will return an error message that simply states the site you are researching is not a wordpress site.

2. If the site you are investigating is a wordpress site, WhatWPThemeIsThat will return a beautiful matrix of information.

In the screenshots above you can clearly see that the site I was researching was using a theme called Nimble. This theme can be purchased at ElegantThemes! The website even hyperlinks you to the wordpress theme author’s site so you can buy the theme if you want to do so. You will also notice that the software has listed the names of all the active plugins and you can click the wordpress icon to go to the plugin repository where you can download the plugin(s) for your own site. How awesome is that?

You can thank my 2AM coffee infused web searching madness for this one.

Inside the Private Community Ruck has posted many times about how creative hooks and angles make campaigns profitable.  Everyone and their brother wants to take a campaign and run it the same way.  For example, a new affiliate may want to take a campaign for a credit report offer, use the default creatives and try to go bid on search engines for the same keywords.  Several things are wrong with this approach.  Most of the large credit report advertisers have been running on these keywords for years and have established their position.  Even with a very large budget and bidding aggressive, it’s going to be very difficult to work.  A better approach would be to seek keywords and phrases with little competition and then designing a landing page to filter the traffic down to the offer.  The search term is the hook then the landing page is the angle into the offer.

Over the last five years things have changed a lot in the affiliate marketing industry.  The majority of my campaigns are now mobile and I primarily buy most of my ads on mobile devices and tablets.  Just as I was with desktop advertising, I continue to creative high volume campaigns, with rewarding ROI.  Why?  Because of hooks and angles.  This is what separates successful marketers from the non-successful ones.  Those that cannot create their own hooks and angles never stay in this industry for a long time.

In 2008 promoting ringtone offers was very popular on search engines such as Google.  You could search “Artist Name Ringtones” and there would be 10 ads all using similar landing pages.  The competitive advantage was who could bid the highest, the longest, to take over the position.  Some affiliate marketers jumped in and made a lot of money.  Others took this process but instead of “copying” or creating a similar landing page they made their own using an angle and then sent the traffic to the offer.  One that comes to mind is the “survey style” where  visitors are asked questions that interest them and are then filtered down to the offer.  This method didn’t only make affiliates a lot of money it produced some very high ROI campaigns because the same people weren’t fighting over the same terms, using the same landing pages, all for the same offers.

Remember the days of the Acai berry ads all over the Internet?  The same landing pages were copied over and over again and many marketers with very little experience made a lot of money.  It’s alarming at the number of these affiliates that had to return to their “9-5 job” once new regulations took these campaigns out. Using the “save feature” on Firefox or other web browsers and then swapping out your affiliate link isn’t marketing.  When your competitive advantage is capital there is always going to be someone out there that’s going to be able to take you out especially if there is money to be made.

Tracking any campaign that pays on performance is a must.  With desktop advertising it’s important to note which landing page responds the best with which creative and which site/placement is working the best.  With mobile advertising it’s important to note which device responds the best with a campaign and other important factors such as carrier, network speed etc.  Successful affiliates will analyze this data with their creative hooks and angles and dominate a particular traffic source.

When conducting a high volume media buy I like to take my budget and then let things run for one week untouched to collect important data about what’s working the best.  The next week, I’ll alter my insertion order to include optimizations and increase ROI.  With mobile I can take data collected for the first week and create a new campaign where I have the flexibility to bid higher and not only leverage my capital but also my unique angle.  The traffic source becomes irrelevant.  I’m just looking for one with a lot of volume and then I use my marketing skills to make it work and to scale.

Being a successful affiliate means becoming successful at coming up with creative hooks and angles.  The more you come up with and run the better you become.  Practice makes perfect and this is no different.  Don’t be scared to test an angle that’s unique.  Just because you see something that is working for someone else doesn’t mean you can’t do it better.  Around the office we say, “dare to be different!”  Make your own unique landing page and analyze your tracking data.  Make your competitive advantage your hook and angle, landing page, and intelligent data. By doing this you’ll not only become a successful affiliate for years to come you’ll also be successful on other mediums such as mobile.  The traffic source is not the final piece of the puzzle, you should be able to make any source work, it’s about your marketing skills!

So really what you are about to read is internal back and forth between Ryan, myself and some internal media buyers we worked closely with in scaling this campaign, well over 3 million dollars in revenue over a year’s time.

This is about 4-5 months of internal information back and forth and building out the campaign. Should be good learning for newbie marketers.

What happened, was an explosion of traffic and conversions to these offers.

Since it converted so well, I thought I might share it for you to study if you like. I’m a big fan of “tell, don’t sale.” Which you will see below:

Here’s the email snap-shotted in its original state. If you an affiliate manager, study closely

Let’s have a look through one of my Adwords accounts at the new Keyword Planner:

Search for keyword and ad group ideas:

I like how it retrieves Ad Group ideas along with keyword ideas now in one easy to use dashboard.

Enter or upload keywords to get estimates:

Nothing really changed here although again, it’s easier to access the “Get Estimates” tab and “Get Historical Stats” tab in one spot.

I like how I can basically get an outline on costs involved down to the ad group and keyword level:

Multiply keyword lists to get estimates:

Handy little tool I use for local type marketing campaigns. States, zipcodes and cities work with well with this feature. Check it out:

You can then get estimates or historical data around that adgroup + keywords you multiplied against earlier:

The keyword planner in Adwords is pretty slick and simple to use. Are you using it yet? What do you think of it?

Unless you start each day with a list of objectives you’re going to start getting scatter brained very quickly.  Each morning when I get online I know there are a million things that need to be done.  My email need checked, the Private Community is waiting for my input, people are hitting me up on Skype, etc.  I’m able to get through everything by developing a routine and organization system.  It all starts with a physical list.  I have my “day to day” and “growth” tasks written out inside I notebook where I can physically mark off each  one as they’ve been completed.  Under each task I like to have a sub list of things that need to get done.  So for example, I may have one task “launch mobile campaign in UK.”  Under that I will have bullets that include “register domain, setup hosting/tracking, develop landing pages, develop creatives, etc.”  I’ll then mark each one of these off as they’re completed.  I won’t move to anything else on my list until I’ve finished.

I then have a goals section on my list.  This includes stuff such as “20 sales a day for new UK campaign by Friday.”  On Friday I will look at my results and if I’m not close to averaging 20 sales a day then I’ll take time to work on scaling my traffic up or altering my landing pages to help boost my conversion rate.  Every affiliate wants to reach 100 – 1,000 sales a day but unless you have to start somewhere.  It’s important to keep your goals obtainable so you don’t get discouraged if you don’t meet them.  You need to have several goals, and if you’re not consistently meeting them, you’re going to get bummed out!

“How you are in life is how your are in business.”  This is a common quote we say around the office.  If you’re an unorganized person in life, missing appointments left and right, not keeping up with your possessions, then you’re going to have a hard time running your own online business.  Now is the time to get organized and make those changes!  When you sit down at your desk you should have everything in a place where you can find it and have some type of organization system.  If you have a shitload of papers all piled on top of one another it’s going to be hard to get on your computer and work efficiently.  The same goes for your web environment.  You need to be organized.

I don’t see how some people get by with an email account that has 1,000 messages in the inbox.  Many email providers, such as Gmail, have made it very easy to archive, star, and sort emails allowing you to stay on top of your digital communication.  If you’re going to be running traffic, it’s important you keep your communication line clear, as you will need to communicate with your traffic source, your affiliate network, and possibly other members of your team.  If you’re keeping an unorganized email box, then it’s going to be very easy to lose things in transition and hard to sustain a winning campaign.  Take some time every morning, every afternoon, and every evening to give your email a quick sweep and have everything organized into folders and categories.  This is one way I’m able to run three thriving online companies and not get behind! The same goes for your web servers and tracking systems.  Keep your landing pages/images organized in folders and make sure to delete/archive old campaigns in your tracker so you’re not constantly jumping over a bunch of crap!

If you’re working from a home office it’s easy to get distracted.  With the social media boom, it’s not hard to load up Facebook and kill an hour or two.  I know this is a big problem for many affiliates as I’m a member of several groups and I see the same people spending day after day “posting” rather than “working.”  I like to limit my time on these platforms to once in the morning and once in the evening.  I’ll share or like blog articles from the Grind but use the below sharing buttons to avoid me from having to go on the site and potentially getting sucked in.  Some days when I’m eating my lunch I’ll get 15 – 2o minutes and just get Facebook, Twitter, and other social media sites out of my system. There is always going to be drama, people are always going to be getting in and out of relationships, so there is no need to spend hours watching it all unfold live!

Another big distraction for some is having a television on or trying to watch kids and get work done at the same time.  If you’re “working” then it’s time to close the doors to the office and eliminate distractions.  Yes, even if you work at home, you may need to get a babysitter.  Everyone likes to think just because you’re working at home you’re instantly a babysitter.  Wrong!  You have to either do one or the other you can’t do them together.  It just doesn’t work.  The same goes with keeping a television on.  As I’m writing this blog post I have the morning news on.  I’ve already caught myself about 10 times zoning out to the news and losing tract in my post.  Either work or watch TV – don’t try to mix the two.  The end result is taking twice as long to do a simple task.  Don’t do that!

In conclusion it’s very important to have an organization system around you when making the decision to work online. You need to physically have a task list that includes your main day-t0-day duties and goals you’re attempting to reach.  Your “web environment” needs to remain as clean and organized as your “work environment.”  Emails, files, logins, should all be organized neatly on your computer and web server where you can easily access them and know where everything is.  Your tracking system should have old campaigns removed and only have the active ones where you can see them. Distractions should be limited because they cause the simplest task to take twice as long.  When you’re working – keep it at that.  Don’t try to multitask television watching, baby sitting, cooking, etc.  You can’t do both it’s either one or the other.  By following some of these simple tasks you’ll find the number of successful campaigns you create come around more often and you’ll get a lot more done in a day.

In other words, images are fucking important.

I went into my toolbox and am sharing 7 Awesome Websites I’ve got bookmarked. I’ve used these websites for images I’ve seen on their site, developed inspiration, created my own, used theirs and yada yada. Some of these are simply Facebook pages. That’s the cool part though, whatever pages I like on Facebook, I get a steady flow of their content in my newsfeed. If somene has something I like, then I find a way to use it.

This shit is valuable to an affiliate marketer basically…

Couple of Generic Good Sites:

WTFPictures Facebook Page

Hot Girls/Women:

Girls Next Door Category Of Bullz-Eye.com

Daily Hot Chick Pics – Facebook Fan Page

The Chive – Hot Girls Search Filter

MemeBase at Cheezburger.com

So there are a lot of sites out there to get images from, just cleaning out some of my toolboxes lately and providing them as guides for whomever will use them.

The whole act of “copying” has a filthy meaning. Yep, I know, I get it. But let’s face it, everyone does. Damn near everyone, at the very least.

Many affiliates will see something that catches their creative eye, do a short test on it. If it has promise then Affiliate will choose whether or not to soak the ROI ripping this creative straight up 100% will give them or they will choose to enhance the creative – Headlines, Images, Sub-Headlines, CTA’s, Design + Colors.

Tip: These are the 5 pillars of banner (creative) design:

1. Headlines
2. Images
3. Sub-Headlines (Adcopy)
4. CTA’s (Calls To Action)
5. Design/Colors

Ok so nobody wants to admit, but we are all in agreement that nearly everyone has done it, does it or will do it. Great, now we have no animosity between us. Let’s continue…

The whole act of “coaching,” “training” and “mentoring” has a very unfortunate, but synonymous association with the term “Guru.” Guru of course, is used to describe snake-oil salesmen, or the bad ebook salesman of the early 2000′s.

I like to think at IMGrind, we have done nearly the opposite of that. We have shown, created and developed multiple streams of income (businesses) online, as well as trickle that knowledge down to a select few, extremely serious people who have joined us inside the IMGrind Private Forums.

The real beauty of all this though is that I wanted my forum full of success stories, follow-along campaigns from other members as well as some Campaign Case-Studies. I knew we could achieve this by only selecting the most serious, creative and hard-working people in the world.

A recipe for success! Simply copy other affiliates in real-time, on-the-go, right-away start learning from what it is exactly they are doing

Better yet – what results they are achieving

Better yet – exactly how they generated them results

Best Ever – How you can go try it yourself, right now too

So, I tell ya what on this Sunday. I invite you into the IMGrind Private Forums if you haven’t already joined the 1,500+ marketers who are already members. Come check out some of these

Campaign Case Studies:

Follow-Along Campaigns:

If you want a roadmap in success, I just gave you about 1/15th of what’s inside the private forums. Join up, we’ll see you on the inside.

The Sunnyvale, Calif., company’s board of directors will meet Sunday evening to consider approving a $1.1 billion acquisition of online content-sharing site Tumblr in a deal Mayer negotiated, according to the technology news site All Things D. The story posted late Friday cited anonymous sources.

In an invitation sent Friday, Yahoo promised to unveil “something special” Monday evening in New York. The event is being held in a Times Squares lounge located about two miles from Tumblr’s headquarters.

I had a Tumblr account for awhile but got tired of all the spinning, spitting and bounce porn gif’s sent by teenagers getting their first hard on. Gross and stupid.

So, in my opinion, just going with the purchases of Yahoo in the past, this probably makes sense – Go For It.

Yes, you heard that right. Nearly three-quarters of smartphone sales in the country in March 2013 went to Android, according to data from Kantar Worldpanel ComTech. That’s a greater market share than in the UK, France or Italy. The arrival of the iPhone 5 boosted Apple’s market share slightly in late 2012, Kantar noted, but that advance didn’t compensate for earlier losses, and iOS continued to cede share in Q1 2013. In fact, that share slipped below 17% of smartphone sales in Germany this March.

What’s even cooler, is that I found out how Germany stacked up against some of the other power-house mobile centric companies. They didn’t do too shabby.

Apple phones are responsible for a greater share of German web traffic than the user numbers would suggest, however. Adobe reported that iOS phones garnered nearly 45% of smartphone internet traffic in February 2013, compared with around 49% for Android. The imbalance was more pronounced in the UK and France, where Apple phones accounted for more than half of smartphone traffic during the month.

We can attest as well. Germany has been downright awesome for our mobile affiliates over at our Mobile CPA Network, Revived Media. If you have German Mobile traffic as an advertiser or publisher, be sure to hit us up!

With all of these properties, myself, Ruck, Ryan and Bill are constantly uploading and modifying our work. Hojoki has been our solution to observe what is going on in the cloud. Hojoki is a “mothership”, if you will, that syncs with all of the services we use like Evernote, and Box. Whenever someone uploads a change we are notified on our iPhones and other devices.

What I also love about this product is that you receive a daily recap of all the changes and uploads that occur among your apps. This is great if you missed an update on your phone. This is also particularly helpful when any of our outsources upload their work, this way we can see what they have accomplished

Hojoki allows you to create workspaces where you can catalog and sync all of the respective assets for your project. So, on my hojoki board, I have workspaces for IMGrind, Revived Media, iMobiTrax, MobGrind, and all of our other companies and projects – This awesome type of organization also helps us to segment our folders in the cloud. So, for instance, only our IMGrind folders on Box will be sync’d with our IMGrind workspace. This reduces the clutter at a glance, and we LOVE THAT!

Wondering what apps Hojoki interfaces with? Take a look below and see if you recognize or use any of the following apps on a daily basis.

This is great because it lets the team know when something is finished, something has been modified, or if a file has been removed. It is our UNSPOKEN communication software. Take a look at the video below and see if Hojoki is a good solution for your team!

The second you turn a campaign profitable it’s hard not to jump out of your seat wanting to scale until your eyes bleed.  Let’s say you’ve been running an offer spending $300 a day and it’s been breaking even/slightly profitable for a bout a week.  You finally have enough data to make some good optimizations in terms of which landing page is converting the best and which creatives are yielding the highest eCPM.  Your spend goes down to about $250 a day but your profit is now 100% ROI.  Scaling too quickly could throw another variable into the equation and cause everything to come crashing down.  Let’s say you take the same metrics of the campaign over to another traffic source expecting the exact same results.  What you didn’t consider was your banner placement in the ad chain.  It’s different on the new source and you’re no longer profitable and back to testing.  A better plan would be to let your now profitable campaign run untouched for a week or so to ensure all of your metrics are correct.

The hour of the day or the day of the week can sometimes make a big difference in any performance based campaign.  If you’ve made optimizations to get it profitable on one day it’s important to get a larger sample of data to ensure it’s going to be profitable every day.  If it is profitable on everyday during the week it’s important to note how high the ROI is at certain hours.  You may find yourself wanting to day part the campaign (pause during certain hours) to ensure the highest return possible.

Since we’re talking about an affiliate campaign in this post we’re assuming your getting paid a commission for each sale or lead generated to another company’s product. Before you can achieve that first $10,000 revenue day it’s important to find out how volatile the offer is.  Is it seasonal?  Are there processing limits?  Does your quality need to be taken into consideration?  There are a number of different factors that you must consider before taking your volume to the next level.  Rather you’re working with the company directly or going through an agency it’s important to speak to someone regarding increasing volume.

Regardless of what anyone says there is always a limit somewhere.  Before scaling hard you need to know and understand where this limit is.  I like to know what other partners are doing with the offer.  While I don’t expect anyone to provide me with exact details I like to have a good understanding at the current volume already on the offer so I know more about the limits and what to expect when I really increase my volume. If the offer is seasonal or only runs for a certain flight it’s important to find that out.  Nothing is more disheartening to finally get a campaign up and profitable to have it expire the next week.  If you don’t ask before you scale, you’re running blind.

Every traffic source has some type of limit.  Facebook is one of the most popular websites on the Internet but they limit the number of money each advertiser can spend per day on their platform.  If you’re a large advertiser, they’ll increase this limit, but sometimes it takes several successful billings at lower levels before they’ll do so.  The same goes for Google.  They are the largest advertising network in the world but they also don’t just let advertisers go spend wild.  Older accounts with larger spend history have priority over new accounts that are just getting started.  Even when you’re conducting a large media buy, you’re going to run into a limit somewhere.

One of my biggest limits early on in my career was having a credit card capable of enough spend.  I could not get American Express to understand why I was 22 years old and needed to spend $10,000 a day on my card.  So I was left spending $5,000, sending them a wire, spending another $5,000, sending another wire, etc.  I then had to make sure I was getting paid quick enough by the merchant to be able to float the spend.  Today, things are much different, because I have several very high limit credit cards and a lot more capital.  But this can be a challenge especially for affiliates that are just getting started.

While $10,000 a day sounds awesome there are some very important things you must consider before reaching that level.  You need to be profitable for longer than a week and have all the day parting variables considered.  You need to examine the volatility of the offer and have a good picture about what’s going on with the merchant before unexpectedly “blowing up your numbers.”  Finally, all the limitations to your traffic source and financial situation need to be taken into consideration. If you don’t have a high limit on your credit card then you need to ensure good pay terms with your advertising network or have a set amount of liquid capital available.  You’ll then be much more prepared for a massive month of profit!

If you are working with a MoblieAppTracking client, then good news! Their mobile tracking parameters match up exactly with their parameter set, so tracking between your affiliate network and the MobileAppTracking client will be highly accurate and transparent; two critical elements when tracking between multiple systems.

Here’s the new mobile tracking parameters currently supported:

• device_brand
• device_model
• device_os
• device_os_version
• device_id
• device_id_md5
• device_id_sha1
• android_id
• android_id_md5
• android_id_sha1
• mac_address
• mac_address_md5
• mac_address_sha1
• odin
• open_udid
• ios_ifa
• ios_ifa_md5
• ios_ifa_sha1
• ios_ifv
• user_id
• unid

Pretty good stuff coming from the team whom powers the backend of Revived Media’s Mobile CPA network along with iMobiTrax, our Mobile Ad Tracker. Interesting, what it would look like if all these tracking variables were universal in just one system? More on that later…

Here’s a snapshot of the mobile reporting options now:

One of the best and innovative ways to boost fan page engagement on Facebook is to create a contest and use a customized Facebook Content App.

We’ve done it a few times for IMGrind on Facebook.

If you have never made a Facebook App, then today is your day!

Made by ShortStack, a company that deals with Facebook app creation, Facebook contest development and management, and more, the infographic also features tips on how to promote your Facebook contest app once it is already created.

What’s even cooler, they just made announcement regarding the all-newly rebuilt, Admob.

Here’s some of the live sessions going on now.

Starting today, they’ll begin rolling out the new AdMob to our developers. They expect it to be available for all developers globally in the coming months. If you’re an AdMob developer, you’ll see a notice in your account asking you to upgrade to the new AdMob.

With the new AdMob, some of the features available are:

Smarter app promotion: Conversion Optimizer helps many AdWords advertisers increase conversions while decreasing cost per acquisition. We’re now bringing Conversion Optimizer to app developers using AdMob to promote their apps, so they can get the best possible number of installs for their budget. Choose a target cost per acquisition for each download, and Conversion Optimizer will show ads when they are most likely to lead to an install.

Robust ad filters: Ensuring that your app is showing quality, relevant ads is important for app developers. Now, developers will have more control over which ads appear in their apps, by blocking sensitive categories, so they can increase relevancy and protect their brand.

Maximized earnings: If developers want to show ads in their apps from more than one ad network, they can use AdMob Mediation with a new, simplified setup.
Local payments: We’re introducing local currency payments, so developers don’t need to spend time calculating currency conversions and organizing money transfers.

Intelligent reports: The new reporting interface enables app developers to slice the data in many ways with multi-dimensional reports that help them identify opportunities to grow. They can break down their reports over time by app or ad unit, platform, country, bid type, and more.
