Success in affiliate marketing does not always depend on an affiliate's competence; it relies on the skills of people they work with. If you are an aspiring affiliate marketer, you need to work with a CPA network that can bring the level of success an affiliate marketer deserves. One affiliate network with high-level competence in mobile marketing is Golden Goose Agency.
Although founded in 2005 as a media buying agency, this network only started accepting affiliates in 2016. This company has 15 years' worth of involvement in content marketing in the CIS region. When it comes to capitalizing on mobile traffic, their long experience makes them an excellent partner to work with.
Golden Goose focuses on mVAS or Mobile Value Added Services. The content falls under these categories:
Utilities
Files
Games
Education
Music
Movies and TV shows
Video streaming
Health and Lifestyle
Adult Videos
The agency continues to make new content regularly to keep users coming back for more.
Conversions occur through any of the following conversion models:
One-Click Flow - this is when the user clicks on a button on the offer page and he receives an SMS confirming his subscription.
Two-Click Flow - this is similar to the one-click conversion flow, except the user needs to tick on the Terms and Conditions checkbox on the offer page before clicking on the Submit button.
Premium SMS - this conversion flow incorporates the one-click flow, then the Click2SMS technology opens up the SMS messaging app in the mobile phone, with a pre-filled code. The user just needs to click on Send, then he will receive a confirmation of his subscription.
Prefilled Pin Submit - this is very much like the PIN Submit, except that once the mobile receives the SMS with the pin code, the webpage detects the message and pre-fills the code on the page. The user won't have to fill it in and would just need to click on the Submit button. The user receives another SMS that confirms his subscription.
WiFi Pin Submit - the user would need to type his mobile number on the offer page and click Submit. He will then receive a text message with a pin code and must enter the pin on the offer page. Finally, he will receive confirmation of his subscription via SMS.
The more complicated the conversion flow, the higher the payout (usually).
This company boasts of possessing an advanced tracking system, with plenty of monitoring and reporting capacity. Affiliates can utilize this to regularly monitor their campaigns, traffic, and conversions, thus making optimization simpler without relying on a third-party tracker.
Beginners and even seasoned affiliates need assistance now and then. This is where you will find your affiliate managers helpful, especially when it comes to navigating the platform as the interface is a bit unusual and confusing. They are also quick to suggest new offers that you can try.
For a minimum revenue of $20, Golden Goose sends a payout through PayPal, Paxum, Payoneer, ePay, WebMoney, Neteller, and Liberty Pay. You can also get your payout through bank transfer or direct deposit.
