Mistake №1.
Trying to strike gold with a unique offer that no one else is using
The urge to find a unique offer and avoid competition is one of the most popular fantasies of a beginner. But the truth is, a unique offer is unique because it is extremely rare. On the other hand, there are hundreds of offers from major providers. Do you really think that those are unprofitable due to competition?
In reality, this is not the case: one person cannot fill the traffic needs of such an offer. It is simply impossible. Dozens of affiliates can drive traffic to a single offer and there is enough volume to fill for everyone. Besides, if others are using this offer, the market is positive about it and you can take your share. Your only task is to optimize an already working strategy.
Mistake №2.
Trying to sell instead of meeting user needs
One of the most common mistakes of novice affiliates is the rush. If you came into this vertical with an intention to grab a ready-made angle and make a quick buck without any effort, the result will most likely disappoint you.
You need to do market research, find a key to your customer, visualize what they need and why, and try to build communication through solving that problem rather than just offering to buy a service.
Mistake №3.
Single angle testing
There's no other way to know which creative will be successful than an A/B test.
And it's not always the one you bet on. Don't rely on intuition. Testing is key, so you could find out the winning angle and scale.
If you only use one creative, it's impossible to do a comparison. Come up with several variants for your creatives and see which performs best.
Mistake №4.
Not limiting your test budgets
You can run the first tests with large or small budgets. It all depends on how much money you have at your disposal.
Some experienced affiliates can afford to run extensive tests without limiting their budget, but it is generally not advised if you're just starting out.
What you should do is to strictly limit your testing budgets. In the mVAS vertical you can start testing with a budget as low as 10 dollars a day. This will allow you to see the CR dynamics and determine if the chosen angle has a potential to start optimizing it.
Mistake №5.
Neglecting to diversify traffic sources
Another common mistake in the mVAS vertical is relying too heavily on a single traffic source. While it may be tempting to stick with what seems to be working initially, this approach can leave affiliates vulnerable to sudden changes or disruptions in that particular traffic channel.
Diversifying traffic sources not only helps mitigate risks associated with relying solely on one platform but also allows affiliates to tap into various audiences and demographics. Furthermore, diversification can provide valuable insights into which traffic sources perform best for specific offers or target audiences, enabling affiliates to optimize their strategies accordingly.
