How to Find New Profitable Campaign Combos as an Affiliate

Today we’re talking about how to find new profitable campaign combos — something a lot of affiliates think about constantly. In this article, we’ll cover 5 methods you can use to find working, profitable combos. This article is brought to you in partnership with Shakes.pro — where you’ll find product offers with the highest-converting setups.

Monitor Your Competitors with SPY Tools

Always keep an eye on your competitors — SPY tools make this easy. They let you see what’s currently being advertised across traffic sources: which offers, landing pages, and creatives are being used. If you draw the right conclusions and launch a campaign at the right time, you can land a great combo. That said, we recommend not copying creatives outright — make your own unique versions instead.

Build a Relationship with Your Affiliate Manager

Talk to your personal affiliate manager — ask questions. They might even share ready-made combos that you can start testing and tweaking right away. Your manager can tell you what new offers are available, which traffic sources work best, and which creatives to use. Stay in touch and don’t be afraid to ask anything. At Shakes.pro, every webmaster gets a dedicated personal manager who’s always available to help and point you in the right direction.

Monitor the Top Offers in Your Affiliate Program

Almost every affiliate program has its own top offers list. For example, Shakes.pro has top.shakes.pro, which is updated every week and shows the most relevant offers at any given time along with their traffic sources, GEOs, and top-performing offers by region. Keep an eye on this list and test your hypotheses against it — that’s how you find live, working combos.

Read Case Studies

A lot of people assume all affiliate case studies are fabricated. That’s not true — yes, some shady networks publish made-up numbers, but legitimate affiliate programs buy real case studies from their webmasters. You won’t find a currently profitable combo in a case study — those are usually burnt out by the time they’re published — but you can learn from the webmaster’s approach, see the creatives they used, and pick up something useful. You can also try finding a similar traffic source or offer and setting up your own campaign based on what you’ve learned. Test everything.

Keep an Eye on New Offers and Traffic Sources

Many affiliate programs have dedicated sections or filters for new offers — make sure you’re checking those. Also pay attention to new traffic sources. For example, in 2018, push notification ads were a brand new format. Clicks were incredibly cheap back then, and you could make good money with almost any offer or creative. Now push is one of the top-performing formats on the market.

Monitor competitors, track top and new offers, read case studies, stay in touch with your manager — and that’s how you’ll find profitable combos. And of course, never skip testing. Without testing, you’ll never find the right combo.
