When Mohamed, a skilled UI developer, started affiliate marketing, he quickly discovered it was a lucrative way to make extra income.
His strategy was simple and effective: he launched paid ads that sent traffic to his landing page where he displayed Monetag Popunder (Onclick).
The essence: he generated an extra $2,400 in just 3 months.
Today, we’ll take you through Mohamed’s journey from starting affiliate marketing to creating an easy extra income stream.
Please mind that you can monetize paid traffic with Monetag only if you are assured of its quality. We don’t recommend cooperating with little-known providers that sell cheap or incentivized traffic.
Short summary of results
- Profit: $2,359.670
- CPM (Cost per Mille): $1.38
Choosing Monetag
Mohamed first discovered Monetag back in 2017, choosing it for features that helped him manage his earnings from pop-up ad revenue on his websites:
“I had websites that relied on pop-up ad revenue. Monetag’s features, like weekly payments and low minimum withdrawal, really helped me manage my earnings better.”
Some of his preferred features included:
- Weekly payments
- $5 minimum withdrawal
- Variety of payment methods
- Dedicated manager
- Fast and cooperative support
- Priority system to request withdrawals outside the regular schedule
Choosing Monetag for a New Project
In August 2023, Mohamed started a new project: a landing page promoting access to a free popular visual editing software tool.
He used Namecheap for the domain and hosting and used his programming knowledge to code the landing page using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
The landing page featured a simple design and an email submission form. Visitors submitted their emails to gain access to the subscription free visual editing software. Once they submitted their email, it was tracked via a link that allowed him to identify the user and grant them access to the software.
Confident that there was significant interest in this tool, Mohamed focused on traffic generation first. He began experimenting with ads to determine the best methods for generating high-quality traffic.
“I started working with paid traffic in August 2023 and took some time to understand how it works by studying traffic quality and ways to generate and utilize large amounts of traffic for various profit methods.”
He tried several well-known advertising networks and Max Conv to track performance and measure traffic quality. He monitored traffic volume and conversion rates to identify the network with the best traffic quality.
“Simply put, the higher the conversion rate, the more profit you will make.”
He adds: “You can determine the conversion rate by linking the network to a tracking system to measure traffic quality, which helps you decide whether to work with that network or not.”
After determining the best ways to get high-quality, conversion-ready paid traffic, Mohamed integrated Monetag Popunder ads and ProPush push notifications to generate revenue from his traffic.
Analyzing and Optimizing Campaigns
“Initially, my campaigns were random and incurred significant losses,” Mohamed remembers. Determined to make this new page successful, he iterated on his campaign settings for the best results.
“The setup for my campaigns has evolved until I reached the current settings.”
He carefully tracked the performance of his ads, made data-driven decisions to optimize his campaigns, and adjusted them based on country, operating system, and browser.
He filtered traffic by these criteria to target his ads more effectively, creating a tailored experience that resonated with his audience.
For example, he noted that visits from Malawi with a CPM of 5.45 for iOS systems performed well, so he created a campaign based on that data.
Collecting and Monetizing Email Addresses
Mohamed soon shifted his focus to increasing his profits further by using the email addresses he collected. By using paid traffic and promoting his landing page in relevant Facebook groups, he collected over 5,000 email addresses.
He stored the email addresses in Appwrite, an open-source database connected to his landing page. From there, he ran targeted email campaigns to scale his profits.
“I promote the landing page through Facebook groups interested in this field and targeted paid ads for those interested in this offer.
I have collected over 5,000 emails in the database, allowing me to run email campaigns to increase profits.
Campaign Results
Mohamed’s approach toward making money with Monetag and paid traffic paid off well. Using this strategy, he earned $2,400 of additional income in just 3 months from all his Monetag campaigns.
And when it came to his visual software landing page, the results were just as strong. Mohamed made $817.77 from Monetag Popunders and ProPush.me push notifications on the page. As our partner said: “It definitely covers the traffic expenses and there is also a profit.”
ProPush.me is a platform for monetizing traffic with push subscriptions for affiliates and webmasters.
Publisher’s overall extra-profit with Monetag made $720 in 20 days, with the highest daily profit of $130 and highest CPM of $2.8.
Accordingly, ProPush.me brought $97, with the highest daily profit of $23 and $0.7 of the highest CPM.
Tips for Success
For affiliate marketers looking to replicate Mohamed’s success, he offers the following advice:
Create a clear and simple landing page
“A landing page should be simple, have a clear goal, and thoroughly explain its purpose. It should include details of the offer and the benefits of completing it, considering UI & UX to avoid annoying visitors. Additionally, adding incentives like testimonials can be helpful.”
Ensure legal data collection
Make sure that the process is clear and transparent, so that your users subscribe and share details consciously. Otherwise, you will have problems with conversions and will massively unsubscribe from your email list. If your users unsubscribe, make sure to process their requests timely.
Start with quality traffic
“Beginners should choose a network that generates high traffic volume and conversion rate.
Put simply, the higher the conversion rate, the more profit you will make. You can determine the conversion rate by linking the network to a tracking system to measure traffic quality, which helps you decide whether or not to work with that network.”
Use Fiverr or Upwork for tailored landing pages
“For those who do not know how to code, try paid services from Upwork or Fiverr, costing around $50 for a tailored landing page.”
Don’t let small losses stop you from success
“Do not let losing some money be an obstacle to making more money. It requires focus at the beginning, and things will get better.”
