Launching 5 campaigns in 30 days… zOMG wtf!

Posted on Nov 3, 2011 in Traffic | 12 comments

5 campaigns every 30 days seems to be about my average lately. I see a lot of hype around 30 campaigns in 30 days and as much as i understand the theory behind it, i feel it’s missing something, and that ‘something’ is a question you should be asking yourself… how much money do i want to make from my time?

Before i get into what i mean let me first say there is absolutely nothing wrong with the throwing shit at the wall and seeing if it will sticks method of affiliate marketing, i’ve done it myself many many times, and i will do it again but when i’m trying to launch campaigns that will make me ‘Bugatti’ money, then it’s time to ask yourself “Will this campaign have the realistic possibility of making me big money?”

…and that question usually has 1 component to answer it: Your traffic source!

Your traffic source is your most important component of any campaign. It’s the deciding factor of how much volume your campaign will receive, your cpc/cpm, etc… Is it maybe worth your time focusing on traffic rather than campaign ideas?

Here’s the main thing… A lot of these 30 campaigns in 30 days stories take place on PPV because of the targeting options PPV offers. You can easily target 30 very different things. Whats it missing? ..significant volume per each campaign!

This is the main problem with rapid fire campaign testing. Your testing many campaigns, around a concept that has a low volume ceiling. So even if 3/30 campaigns succeed it’s unlikely you’ll be raking in the bacon.

The main thing to make clear is it’s not an actual problem, it’s just a problem if your wanting to make a Gustavo Fring type of salary (breaking bad reference).

You need significant traffic volume to make you significant money, not much more needs to be said.

If you want to be a BAUSS, then maybe testing 30 traffic sources in 30 days is what you want to be doing.
