7 Days to Master Mobile Marketing (Day 1)
DAY 1: Affiliate and Advertising Networks
You as an affiliate really only need to work with two types of companies, the affiliate network, and the advertising network. In mobile however, to yield the best results its better to work with mobile focused partners.
Affiliate Networks
There are many different affiliate networks out there, but in the mobile space there are some things you should start paying attention to. The first is that the traditional CPA networks that you know and love are starting to pick up on mobile offers, however, what a lot of them don’t realize is that tracking over a mobile device is much more difficult then the web.
Many handsets and even users disable some tracking features we have grown to love including Javascript and Cookies.
Below are the list of the top networks we recommend and some info about them.
Neverblue – Their tracking is built in house and they have been aggressive about getting into the mobile space. Their tracking seems to work great, however, their strict geo redirects often send users to their offer wall instead of the offer page, so keep an eye on that.
MobPartner – This is a French network that has been taking great strides. This networks CR’s tend to stay consistent much more than any other network. Maybe they haven’t heard of scrubbing your leads yet, or maybe it’s their in house tracking platform. One cool feature about signing up with them is you get access to the following page ‘http://web.mobpartner.com/en/admin/media_buyer_help‘ which shows their top offers by EPC for each month. In addition, they have partnerships with a few traffic sources to give you FREE CREDIT upon signing up.
OfferMobi –Another network with a team that gets the CPA and affiliate space so its nice to work with them vs other mobile networks that are more geared towards developers.
SponsorMob – Another mobile network that can give you back end reporting on carrier, handset, operating system. However, their street payouts are pretty low.
Silver-Path – If you’re not running paths you’re missing out on big money. Silver path has an amazing mobile path that can convert traffic that other offers don’t even want! The integration is a bit complex so if you’re not strong with code save this one for later.
Pay Per Call Networks
CJ Pay-Per-Call–If you’re going to try pay per call this network has some solid offers. The payment terms are pretty awful compared to many of the other networks, so if cash flow is an issue then stay away.
PepperJam Pay-Per-Call– Although I haven’t seen offers that I really love; this is a great network to start working with now. Pay per call will only get hotter, and it’s just a matter of time before an advertiser puts together a monster that can dominate the marketplace.
NOTE: Above 2 networks run most offer from RingRevenue
Whew… if that’s not enough here are some more for you to sign up. Keep in mind you typically only want to work with about 5 networks initially. If you spread your testing out too thin across dozens of networks it will turn into a nightmare when you’re waiting on payments and don’t have the cash to hit something while its hot.

· KissMyAds
· Apprupt
· Admobix
Don’t be another “affiliate”
What do I mean by that? Networks are sick of working with affiliates; they want to work with business partners. When you contact these networks act like you’re a real company and watch how many more doors open for you.
Below are the exact steps I take to ensure that networks I work with treat me right:
Step 1: Build yourself a website. You don’t need to have an LLC or anything fancy. Even a simple 1 pager with a corporate logo and design with information about you and your business will do.
Step 2: After you fill out the app, make sure to call or email the network. Don’t wait weeks just to get your denied email. Be proactive and reach out to them directly. You’re here to make you and them money.
Step 3: When you do get a hold of someone interview them. Don’t let them bully you around, they want your business, so make sure to ask good questions and know who you’re working with. Some standard questions I ask include:
- What tracking platform do you use?
- Do you run offers internally?
- Do you offer weeklies/biweeklies with volume?
- What are your strongest offers right now?
- Do you have international offers?
- Etc.
Step 4: Build rapport with your reps. Keep it business, but also show them you’re a human being. I know for some of you nerds this is hard, but get to know who you’re working with, these people will be the ones that help you scale, get you better terms, higher payouts and more!
Step 5: If you don’t like your rep, whether they are unhelpful, hard to get a hold of, unresponsive, or screw you over in anyway, ASK FOR SOMEONE ELSE. After all it’s your business, and you want the best on your team.
Advertising Networks
We will be focusing on the Ad Networks as that is the best place to find cheap traffic that allows affiliate offers and a rapid testing methodology we will explore in the training.
There are 2 ways that people view ads on their mobile devices:
Mobile Search – I wish I could list a lot of networks in this space, but unfortunately Google is the major player. With the growth of Android (Google) there are no serious contenders in the space. If you’re banned from AdWords, then you’re out of luck, go get another account. If you do have an AdWords account setting up a mobile search campaign is easy.
Below is a video on how to set up a campaign in AdWords targeting mobile devices along with some tips and tricks of the trade. Mobile search is a bit weird due to how many advertisers in AdWords are unknowingly targeting mobile which drives up the CPCs and makes domination tougher. However, there is promise in search and Pay-Per-Call campaigns.

I can write a whole course on how to run Google Adwords, but there’s already great content out there just Google it. I will focus on the mobile space on the ad network side because that is where I feel the biggest opportunity for affiliates is.
Mobile Display - This is a very messy market indeed, which means that it’s ripe with opportunity. Here are the points that are important to you as marketer. A lot of the traffic comes from Supply Side Platforms. Basically when a publisher can’t sell their display inventory directly they dump it in the open exchange or SSPs that then sell it to other traffic sources who in turn sell it to you. I know what you’re thinking “Can’t we just buy from the SSP?” NO most have a very high barrier to entry and won’t let you access their inventory unless you’re an established advertising network or an agency ready to commit to a $100,000 media buy.
Where you need to focus your attention on is the Ad Networks in the image above. They are the perfect ground for testing on a budget and scaling. Don’t be deceived, you can push serious volume with the ad networks that have more than enough targeting to get you the ROI you want. Most networks have a mix of direct publishers and exchange traffic.
The following is a great list of networks.
AdMob – One of the biggest traffic sources for US, but also have a lot of international inventory. Because they are the most high profile (and Google owned) they tend to attract the big spenders and brands. This is a decent network to test broad targeting campaigns. After the update on September all of the mobile web inventory has now moved to AdWords. This means targeting AdMob will get you almost all APP inventory.
Buzzcity – A lot of traffic in emerging markets, however, they still have more than enough in English speaking western countries as well. They also own some entertainment portals. A cool feature in Buzzcity is their AdPlanner which lets you see the amount of impressions and CPC costs in every market you want to target.
InMobi – Tons of traffic in Asia and Africa. There is a fair bit of quality premium pubs, however, there are also a good amount of poor publishers. Make sure to track and cut the fat accordingly.
Jumptap – Most of the traffic is US based. This is one of my favorite networks to test on because of their level of tracking and relative ease of split testing. Their back end optimization is a bit weird so often you will see an ad take off and get more impressions despite a much lower CTR.
AirPush - This is a very unique network. Basically the way it works is on the Android platform when you download an app, the app is able to send you messages directly into your status bar. CTRs are out of control on these type of ads as long as you know how to write good copy. Targeting is a lot more limited so the offer needs to have broad appeal. Also, make sure to try their international inventory.
Mojiva - Another network that has a lot of US traffic. This network has a lot of quality publishers and a lot of junk. You need to come in with proven campaigns and creative and quickly axe publishers that are not performing.
We will be focusing on JumpTap because it is one of the best networks to learn mobile on.
There are many other traffic sources out there for you to try, simply Google “mobile ad networks” and you will have more than enough to keep you busy.
NOTE: I treat my ad networks like I do my affiliate networks. The steps I mentioned in the previous day as to how to come off like a real business apply here as well. Get on the phone, talk to your rep, learn more about the network, and build a relationship.
Daily to Do: Sign up to JumpTap as its one of the best mobile traffic sources to learn on. In addition sign up to (2) other advertising networks to save time when you need to scale. Next sign up to NeverBlue if you’re not already signed up plus (2) more mobile centric affiliate networks. Make sure to get a rep with every vendor you work with both on the affiliate and advertising side. Schedule an intro call or SKYPE chat to discuss how you will be working together.
Remember to look professional. Take your business seriously and watch the doors open. Build a basic site describing you and your business. BONUS: Set up LinkedIn and start connecting with everyone you’ve ever worked with.
This concludes Day 1 of the series. Be sure to check for Day 2 tomorrow!

oes the offer have mass-market appeal? In other words if 100 people saw the offer you would want the maximum amount of people to be interested. Take dating for example. Males who are single (and some that cheat) in the US alone account for at least 15% of the population, so offers in this vertical pass the first test.TEST 2
