A couple weeks ago the campaigns I was running all happened to die out on me, were paused or whatever.  Regardless of what happened, all my daily income was wiped out and I wasn’t too excited about it.  So I went to Azoogle looking for some niche dating offers because I’ve had success doing this in the past.  What I stumbled onto was an absolute gem and a few extra hundred dollars in the bank for very little work.

I came across a campaign called EligibleGreeks.com.  It was a dating offer aimed at singles in Cyprus and the payout was a measly $1.45. So I went over to Facebook to check out the size of the demo.  Unfortunately there are only 15,100 men who are 18 and older, are single and are interested in women.  The highest suggested CPM bid was only 12c and that’s what I bid.  I thought to myself, if this demo converts it’ll be golden, so I threw up a few ads.

Due to the demo being so small, I setup two campaigns.  One targeting men who were 18-24 and only spoke English.  Within this campaign I only setup 3 ads because the demo was now down to 10,100.  The other campaign targeted men who were 18-24 and spoke Greek. I need some ad copy translated so I headed over to OneHourTranslation.com and had two ad copies translated.  This campaign only had a demo of 3,900, but I still setup 6 ads total with 3 images for each ad copy.

After the first day of testing, the English campaign had a CTR of 0.482% and the Greek campaign had a CTR 0.825% with 1 image having a 1.046% CTR and the worst image having a CTR of 0.749%.  Between the two campaigns I had an overall conversion ratio of 29.33%.  So I immediately scaled out the campaigns to the rest of the males and tried out the females aged 18-24.

I just let these existing ads ride out for a few of days.  I didn’t rotate in any new images or ad copy.  Since this campaign required no maintenance and I needed income, I moved on to getting some other campaigns up.  I let this campaign run for only 5 days because my offers came back live and I needed to concentrate on those as they were providing a much larger income for me.

There was a newer affiliate I had been chatting with every once in awhile lately and I knew he was really trying to get some stuff going.  I knew he was making a few bucks, but nothing to write home about so I decided to give him this campaign.  I took screenshots of my ads to show him the exact targeting for the campaign, including the ad copy.  Since he wasn’t already an affiliate at Azoogle, I told him to sign up under me so I could make a couple bucks off his revenue and told him to use his own images.  I knew he was into dating so I figured he had a few of his own that were good.

Since you’re all wondering how the campaign turned out, I spent a total of $55.29 and the revenue was $469.80, equating to a 749.70% return on my investment.  Not bad, eh?  The overall conversion ratio was 19.43% and the EPC was 29c.  I let the affiliate I turned the campaign over to let me know when he was done running the offer because I was going to make the post you’re currently reading, and out the campaign.  He also netted a couple hundred bucks off the campaign as well.

Unfortunately, the offer has been drastically changed in the past few days.  I think they changed lander, but I’m not 100% sure of this, they will only credit you for individuals of Greek heritage now and the payout was nearly cut in half to 75c.
