Getting Started: The Captivating Story of the Vietnamese Publisher
Our publisher’s hosting service is a go-to in the global market, catering to users worldwide, and it’s easy to see why. They offer a user-friendly setup and are firmly committed to privacy and copyright compliance. Interestingly, the platform is in English, making it more accessible to users across the globe.
Furthermore, this platform is renowned for its unlimited storage and bandwidth – it supports large files up to 15 GB.
To keep services attractive and reliable for webmasters, this publisher offers top-notch performance and holds prices low. If you’re looking for something extra, the hosting company offers premium ad-free plans with additional features at a pocket-friendly price.
To avoid all kinds of legal risks, this publisher prohibits any form of shady business, including uploading or streaming violent content, terrorism-related material, or intellectual property infringement.
Here are just some of its key T&Cs in a nutshell:
- You must be at least 18 (or the legal age in your region) to use this service. Also, if the site is illegal in your area, sorry, it’s off-limits for you.
- Our publisher draws a strict line on illegal or harmful content. That means no child abuse material or weapons trafficking.
- Also, they reserve the right to remove your content if it infringes on someone else’s intellectual property. And if you’re a repeat offender, your account could get the boot.
- The platform has a separate Privacy policy. Users thus agree to any updates the platform makes by continuing to use the site.
Their dedication to these crystal-clear principles has been a key driver to his success in Vietnam.
Gaining Traction: Growing Traffic and Expanding Their User Base
Acquiring traffic is essential for any hosting platform’s success. Our client knows this and has strategized to reach potential customers – webmasters. He focused on organic connections rather than running paid marketing campaigns.
In an interview, the publisher explained:
I persistently contact webmasters to introduce my hosting, wait for them to test, and then if they feel it’s suitable, the traffic will gradually increase.
This personal outreach method proved successful, as many customers appreciated the direct engagement and opportunity to test-run the service. To find and attract new clients, the publisher employed a straightforward approach:
I only look for email, Skype, or Telegram of webmasters and then try to contact them.
While the publisher has made money from webmasters using his hosting, his partnership with Monetag is also noteworthy.
Our publisher integrated Monetag Popunder ads into the hosting platform. Popunders are displayed on the websites of the webmasters who use the hosting. That’s why the hosting is so cheap, and our publisher has so much traffic and such big earnings – this traffic is not from his website, but from the websites of his clients. The client noted:
Monetag is a leading ad network… My main source of income comes from placing ads like yours in my traffic.
Their platform’s ability to incorporate these ads into the hosting service has been a key revenue driver. Thus, users using the hosting service can save money.
However, the client noted that traffic fluctuation remains a concern in revenue generation. When speaking on the factors that may cause this issue, he explained:
It mainly depends on the traffic coming from my users. Maybe their site drops in rankings or gets shut down.
Despite these challenges, Monetag’s flexible ad solutions allow the publisher to navigate fluctuations and maintain profitability.
The Results Speak Volumes: $300K+ Earned!
Monetization period: April 22, 2022, to September 16, 2024
Our publisher’s traffic is no doubt geographically diverse.
I work with all GEOs globally
Evidently, his platform attracts users from various regions, with most traffic coming from countries in Asia, South America, and Europe. While certain types of content are more prevalent in specific areas, the publisher’s service can accommodate clients across different industries and content categories.
According to the data provided, here’s the client’s general stats:
- Total Impressions: 708,758,983
- Total Profit: $319,271.512
This publisher also recorded impressive results regarding the ads they used. To ensure they capture all the traffic, the entrepreneur tried different Monetag ad formats, such as Popunder (Onclick), Vignette banners, In-Page Push, and Interstitial.
The above result shows that the Popunder ads helped maximize monetization across these GEOs. The stats prove that Monetag’s ad network and the publisher’s hosting service generate consistent revenue in any region.
