optimize.<\/p>\n<p>By exploring low-payout offers, you can use a smaller budget to gather that important data.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to offer types, Andrew recommends <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobidea.com\/academy\/sweepstakes-offers\/\">sweepstakes<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>He also mentions CPI campaigns and low-payout Pin Submits.<\/p>\n<p>Why?<\/p>\n<p>Because these usually convert easily and are therefore a great starting point.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a way to gather data at a lower cost.<\/p>\n<p>This means you\u2019ll avoid wasting a huge amount of cash.<\/p>\n<p>You can
