Interview with a Leadbit Representative

Today we have an interview with a representative of Leadbit. It turned out to be a very interesting and informative conversation — highly recommended reading!

Hey. Tell us about yourself and about Leadbit.
Hey! My name is Mark, I’m Account Director at Leadbit. I oversee all the processes that connect us, as an affiliate program, with our clients — the affiliates.

How long has Leadbit been in the market?
The company has been in the market for 8 years. And since Leadbit is one of the projects under the 8 bit group umbrella, you could say even longer 🙂

We’ve already published a review covering your verticals — are you planning to add new ones?
We watch the market very closely and track where the trends are heading. Alongside Nutra — where we’ve always been strong — we’ve already made a big leap into Finance with payday loans. We see strong demand in Dating and Sweepstakes, so we’re actively working those angles. We’re keeping a lighter eye on gambling and mobile subscriptions. We don’t have concrete plans to open specific new verticals, but right now any affiliate can come to us and request a specific offer — and we’ll add it to the system regardless of the vertical it belongs to.

Which vertical is trending the most right now? Which vertical do most of your affiliates run traffic to?
Nutra — it’s the absolute leader in the market. Which specific category to run — weight loss, adult health, or general wellness — that depends on each affiliate’s approach and preferences. Second is Dating, which attracts people with its staying power — it’s a true evergreen. Third is Sweepstakes. Very often, affiliates who are focused on other verticals end up picking up Sweeps as well, since the approaches aren’t overly complicated.

What’s your top offer right now? And which offer would you recommend affiliates look at?
Two offers dominate our inventory: Erofertil and Erogan. Both are male potency products — no real product difference, just different geographic coverage. Beginners typically start with these two.

What traffic sources are most popular with your affiliates? Is Facebook the leader?
Yes, definitely. The potential of social media advertising is still far from exhausted — even though every six months our industry faces another wave of tightened moderation rules. When that happens, everyone sees a dip in traffic, but within a week or two people find new approaches that work and traffic bounces back. If I had to sum up the whole experience in one word: pain. The constant account farming, getting ads through moderation, and dealing with bans isn’t for everyone. So people move into teaser networks, push traffic, or whatever else seems manageable. Every traffic type has its own pros and cons.

What about push traffic? How does it perform for you? Which offers and verticals would you recommend for this source?
Any traffic type performs well if you know how to work with it. Push traffic appeals to newcomers because of its simplicity — which unfortunately sometimes results in lower-quality traffic that doesn’t meet advertiser expectations. That said, there are affiliates who have mastered it and run it very successfully.

Which GEO is most popular with you? And where would you recommend a beginner start?
By volume, the most popular are Italy, Spain, Portugal, Greece, and Romania. I’d specifically highlight Eastern Europe — over the last six months lead volumes there have grown significantly, and I expect that trend to keep going.

How does the program treat beginner affiliates? Do you accept them? And how long does the first payout review take?
We have a positive attitude toward beginner affiliates — everyone has to start somewhere. During registration we ask a few questions, and as long as a newcomer can answer at least a couple of them, we can see they know why they’re here. As for the first payout, the review process takes about 2–3 weeks while our team checks traffic quality. After that, all payouts are processed on-demand through your personal manager on the same day.

Share a solid tip or life hack for affiliates.
My advice: take it step by step and don’t rush. Dial back the sky-high expectations for your first stretch — you’re going to run into a lot of problems that most forums and articles never mention. Everything looks simple on the surface, but a ton of hidden complexity emerges in practice. I firmly believe that patience and a methodical approach will get you to success much faster.

Drop us a live combo — country, offer, traffic source.
Facebook is still consistently converting joint health offers in Eastern Europe. Adult there is also nowhere near dead. Traffic is relatively cheap compared to Western Europe — so message me on Skype for more detailed info and links to landers and pre-landers. Mark | Leadbit.com – live:account7.leadbit. I’d also point to Google Ads — it’s a completely underrated source. Quite versatile too, once you find the right approach.

Thanks for the interview — it was a great one. Best of luck to you and Leadbit!
