Best Ad Network For CPA Offers - Lost 700$ In Advertising.

You are not serious, are you? Loosing 700 USD and not making any conversion is my worst nightmare. You should have gathered enough data in your first 50s. Didn't you enable tracking of your campaigns through Prosper202 or any other source?

Anyway dude, what is lost cannot be regained. First of all, focus on the data. Try to learn what websites or publishers sent you the traffic and block the ones which aren't converting. And about 7search, yes the traffic quality is crap. I lost my $50 at 7search and I immediately stopped using them.

Read the case studies and try to improve your strategy. Subscribe to some good blogs like Luke PeerFly and Mr. Green.

Hope that helps.

Hi macwarren,

Marketing when done correctly is all about testing, but not just random testing, you need to setup tests with very specific objectives in mind. If you had done that to begin with then you would now have $700 worth of marketing insights, which even without any sales could still be of great value going forward. Depending on how you setup and tracked that $700 ad spend you might actually be sitting on some useful data even now.

The first thing I recommend that you do is to analyze the data that you already have and try to find some insights within that data that will help you move forward in your marketing goals.

If your initial campaigns were setup correctly you will have data on various market segments, as well as various value propositions, various headlines, CTAs, etc. Even though you have no sales, you will still have stats on CTRs and engagement activities. That data can give you insight into what your target audience responds to and what they do not respond to.

If interest and engagement is low, generally conversion rates will also be low. High conversion rates are almost always preceded by high levels of interest and engagement. The data you have now will point to the market segments and value propositions with the highest interest and engagement metrics. That data will give you valuable clues as to what your targeted audience is interested in and likely to responding to favorably. Use that data to setup your next round of testing with the express purpose of driving interest and engagement to the point of winning conversions.

To use an analogy, think of your data as puzzle pieces. Your goal is to solve the puzzle by putting together enough of the pieces to understand what your audience needs before they are willing to do business with you. If you have only one puzzle piece there isn't anything to match that piece to, not much to help you solve the overall puzzle. As you gain more pieces of the puzzle the big picture will become clearer.

When setting up your tests, try to gather information on as many pieces of the puzzle as possible. The more pieces of the puzzle you have the more of the puzzle you can solve. You need to get granular in your testing so that you gain enough pieces to solve the marketing puzzle. I hope that makes sense, and helps to steer you in the right direction.

The main point being don't just advertise, setup you campaigns as tests using segmentation in both your targeting and in your message, to gather metrics that bring insights into your customers' behavior. Each insight is a piece of the puzzle of exactly what your audience needs from you before they will part with their hard earned cash.
