Choosing the Offer

This was one of my first profitable campaigns. I had just started working with Leadbit and didn’t really know what I was doing, so I immediately turned to my manager for advice. I didn’t want to run adult offers — even though I knew that niche converts well. I settled on health offers because the creative angle is a bit more straightforward.

I knew I wanted a European GEO — I wasn’t keen on jumping into Asia right out of the gate. My manager recommended a top offer — Tinedol for Portugal. I didn’t overthink it and got to work immediately. My first thought: Portugal — coastline, high humidity, fungal infections — there’s money to be made here!

My manager immediately suggested a proven funnel that had been crushing it in this GEO:

Landing Page: http://pt1.thetinedol.com/?c=ru + Pre-lander: http://blogoplus.com/td/pt/tv1/

I needed to test the offer to see where I stood.

Choosing the Traffic Source

This was a decision I absolutely nailed. When I was choosing where to buy traffic, I ruled out Facebook — I’d heard too many stories about the headaches that come with it. Native teaser networks seemed like a calmer alternative. When Facebook started having issues in the spring, I realized I’d made the right call from the start. I didn’t have to switch horses mid-race — I just kept running Tinedol for months with zero source-related stress.

Out of all the teaser networks, I went with Revcontent — it’s a reliable, long-standing source, one of the largest native networks, with competitive click prices and solid traffic volumes.

 

 

 

The stats have a slight discrepancy in click counts — some traffic gets lost to bots, and the affiliate network only counts unique clicks. But an 800-click discrepancy is nothing compared to the overall volume.

Campaign Setup

I didn’t limit myself to desktop or mobile only, since my target audience uses both. Thankfully, Leadbit provides mobile-adapted versions of landing pages and pre-landers, so I didn’t have to worry about that.

During the campaign, my manager sent me a bonus from a spy tool service — and that’s when I understood how powerful these tools are. I now use spy tools on every campaign. You can spot winning creatives and landing pages from successful competitors and either use them directly or pull the best ideas from multiple sources to build creatives that convert like crazy.

For this campaign specifically, my best-performing creatives were the ones where I made a deliberate effort to avoid gross images of bacteria and parasites — nothing that would shock anyone.

I optimized campaigns using a blacklist, and the final CPC came out to a penny — literally $0.01.

Conclusion

For steady profit from a single offer in a single GEO, this campaign delivered exactly what I needed. And considering this was one of my first profitable campaigns ever, I have every reason to be both happy and proud. But I’m not stopping here — after the Portugal win, my skills leveled up, and the only way to go from here is up.

That said, I want to share something from my own experience: success stories like this are great — they’re motivating and inspiring. But until you actually do it yourself, until you earn your first real money, you won’t truly understand how rewarding it feels. Motivation lives inside the work itself.

So stop sitting on the sidelines reading — go out and do it!

Good luck, everyone!
