Experience has changed my mentality when I run campaigns.
-I can sustain the losses while testing a campaign. I have money coming in from
other traffic sources and money in the bank.
-I know what works before I launch. I use spy tools to research and my affiliate
managers don’t bullshit me.
-I know what variables to test. I have a set optimization strategy for any
campaign I run because it’s been proven and constantly tweaked over the years.
One advice I can give is to think of the optimization variables as a hierarchy.
What’s more important, the offer or the color of the button on the landing page?
Obviously the offer, but you’ll see guys spending their time optimizing the baby
stuff.
-Experience can help you blow campaigns up. Suppose a newbie and a super
affiliate both were to have the exact same $500 profit a day campaign. The
newbie might be stuck at that mark due to either cash flow, or lack of experience
in scaling. The super affiliate knows where to get higher payouts, knows what
other traffic sources work well, and he has the cash / unlimited credit cards to
turn this campaign into a 5-figure a day campaign
