So, I think it\u2019s a good challenge to try some offers with Indian traffic.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Offer:<\/strong> You can run every hottest mainstream offer in any advertising network so my choice was \u2018adult\u2019. One of the few networks that I know that allow adult offers for Push Notifications is <a class=\"thirstylink\" title=\"clickadu\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mobidea.com\/academy\/recommends\/clickadu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Clickadu<\/a>. To get the offer, I had to resort to the all-seeing eye: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobidea.com\/academy\/ad-spy-tools\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ad spy tools<\/a>. At this point, I preferred to keep it simple and choose one of the popular offers for India, a male enhancement product.<\/p>\n<p>So, here are the conditions for the test I put together:<\/p>\n<p><strong>GEO:<\/strong> India<br \/>\n<strong>Platform:<\/strong> Mobile<br \/>\n<strong>Payout:<\/strong> $4.5 per sale (no rebills)<br \/>\n<strong>Advertising format:<\/strong> Push Notification<br \/>\n<strong>Traffic source:<\/strong> <a class=\"thirstylink\" title=\"clickadu\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mobidea.com\/academy\/recommends\/clickadu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Clickadu<\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_81 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-transparent ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title ez-toc-toggle\" style=\"cursor:pointer\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mobidea.com\/academy\/push-notifications-in-2020-still-got-it\/#campaign-creation\" >Campaign Creation\u00a0<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mobidea.com\/academy\/push-notifications-in-2020-still-got-it\/#optimization\" >Optimization<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"campaign-creation\"><\/span><strong>Campaign Creation\u00a0<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>At first, I just wanted to make quick money and some performance gain to check whether the offer was suitable for the traffic source.

The difference in the two campaign settings was just in the respective rates.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rates:<\/strong> CPC, the click cost is $0.001 (for \u2018low\u2019 activity) and $0.002 (for \u2018high\u2019 activity).<\/p>\n<p><strong>GEO:<\/strong> India. I have a lot of experience with this GEO, so here\u2019s a tip on how to get the most of Indian traffic: Even tho Clickadu doesn&#8217;t allow to target cities, you should always try to target large cities to improve your CR.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Timetable:<\/strong> Since the conversion approval goes through call-centers here\u2019s another tip on how to get more of: running a campaign during the call-centers working hours may increase your approval rate up to 20%.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Platform:<\/strong> Mobile, both for 3G and wifi.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Advertising budget:<\/strong> $100.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Test budget:<\/strong> $5 (the lowest possible)<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"optimization\"><\/span><strong>Optimization<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The very first campaign made it, so why not go further? The initial result is: 49 approved conversions and $220 in revenue, so the campaign payout is more than 100% ROI.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve played around with some creatives and text to find out what\u2019s working. And let me offer you another tip here: use native language in creatives to get a better result. Services like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.onehourtranslation.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">One Hour Translation<\/a> can help you with that.<\/p>\n<p>From here on, you should do all the habitual optimization stuff, like cutting the low CTR zones and changing the frequency to 2 ads per 24 hrs.<\/p>\n<p>The whole scaling was about creating and duplicating the campaigns and I guess I\u2019ll just go on and share one last tip here: when you allocate a small test budget like $5, the test matches a few ad zones and black\\whitelists them.<\/p>\n<p>If the test goes okay, you\u2019ll receive a campaign with a separate set of zones and they might exceed themselves. As the conversion cost grows real high, proceed to creating another test campaign.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In a nutshell:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve tested several campaigns, and here\u2019s the result.<\/p>\n<p>With the average 16% approval rate, the revenue is $3739,5, the cost is $1921,58, the profit is $1817,97, and, last but not least, the ROI is 48%.<\/p>\n<p>The main thing is to take from this test is: Push Notifications still got it even with the \u2018unsavory\u2019 countries. Use the tips I gave you, scale it bigger, and score like hell.<\/p>\n<p>More importantly, have fun!<\/p>\n<div class=\"mobid-after-content\" style=\"margin-top: 5px;margin-bottom: 5px;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\" id=\"mobid-2929117391\"><div class=\"mobid-adlabel\">Advertisement<\/div><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mobidea.com\/academy\/recommends\/banner-placement-2\/\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"da\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.mobidea.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/da.gif\" alt=\"\"  class=\"no-lazyload\" width=\"730\" height=\"90\"   \/><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Formerly crowned as the affiliate marketing trend of 2019, push notifications are losing some of their fire.
