Hey folks!
Kirill here – Business Development Director at Dr.Cash, with 8+ years of hands-on experience in affiliate marketing, especially in Adult Nutra. Today, I want to pull back the curtain on one of our recent wins in the ever-competitive male enhancement vertical.
The Philippines has been quietly gaining momentum as a hot GEO for Adult Nutra, but not everyone knows how to approach it correctly. If you’re not working with large caps or verified advertisers, you’ll probably end up wasting a lot of time and money. The challenge? There’s been a flood of low-quality advertisers in the region trying to avoid paying affiliates properly. Sadly, we’ve had a few run-ins with these issues—but let me walk you through a campaign that still made us a solid five-figure profit.
About six months ago, a new media buyer joined our team—a real enthusiast for adult offers. During onboarding, we stumbled across Max X [PH]—a promising offer with a decent payout, large daily caps, and guaranteed lead approval from the get-go.
We rolled out a small test campaign while integrating the buyer into our funnel systems. After just a few rounds of optimization, we were seeing a very healthy ROI. The setup was simple, the volume was there, and the product had mass appeal.
The landing page was a hybrid of Tagalog + English—a decision that turned out to be golden. We A/B tested it against a fully Tagalog version and saw better CTR and conversion rates on the dual-language version.
Conditions for the offer included:
We aren’t sharing the exact landing page because it’s still active in other GEOs, but the key was making the offer feel personal and urgent.
Targeting was kept broad and effective:
Our creatives focused on emotional triggers, virility, and direct solutions to common issues. Because the funnel already had a high ROI, we didn’t feel the need to test tons of new angles—the evergreen ones did just fine.
Scaling was frictionless. As soon as we validated the funnel, we simply cloned the campaign to more accounts, increased budgets, and let the reach in the Philippines work in our favor. Lead costs remained stable, even with higher daily volumes.
Everything was running like a dream—until it wasn’t.
Out of the blue, the advertiser ghosted us. We caught on quickly and paused all traffic, but unfortunately, $1,728 worth of leads had already been submitted and went unpaid. It was a tough pill to swallow.
This campaign reminded us that while big profits are possible in Adult Nutra, the risk of advertiser drop-off is always present—especially in GEOs where payment reliability isn’t guaranteed.

How It Started
About six months ago, a new media buyer joined our team—a real enthusiast for adult offers. During onboarding, we stumbled across Max X [PH]—a promising offer with a decent payout, large daily caps, and guaranteed lead approval from the get-go.
We rolled out a small test campaign while integrating the buyer into our funnel systems. After just a few rounds of optimization, we were seeing a very healthy ROI. The setup was simple, the volume was there, and the product had mass appeal.
Funnel & Landing Page Strategy
The landing page was a hybrid of Tagalog + English—a decision that turned out to be golden. We A/B tested it against a fully Tagalog version and saw better CTR and conversion rates on the dual-language version.
Conditions for the offer included:
- 10% guaranteed approval on valid leads
- Payout per lead: $6
- Daily CAP: Between 500 – 5,000 (depending on the week)
We aren’t sharing the exact landing page because it’s still active in other GEOs, but the key was making the offer feel personal and urgent.
Targeting & Creative
Targeting was kept broad and effective:
- Age group: 30–65+
- Placements: Auto
- Campaign Structure: Ranged from CBO (1-2-1) to 1-10-1
- Accounts Used: Agency accounts, supported by King+Farms setup
- Anti-detect setup: Not heavily used; didn’t impact performance
Our creatives focused on emotional triggers, virility, and direct solutions to common issues. Because the funnel already had a high ROI, we didn’t feel the need to test tons of new angles—the evergreen ones did just fine.
Scaling Up
Scaling was frictionless. As soon as we validated the funnel, we simply cloned the campaign to more accounts, increased budgets, and let the reach in the Philippines work in our favor. Lead costs remained stable, even with higher daily volumes.
Everything was running like a dream—until it wasn’t.
The Issue
Out of the blue, the advertiser ghosted us. We caught on quickly and paused all traffic, but unfortunately, $1,728 worth of leads had already been submitted and went unpaid. It was a tough pill to swallow.
Key Takeaways
- Always optimize your funnel first. A well-tuned funnel means higher ROI, better stability, and less stress when scaling.
- Choose your affiliate partners wisely. Make sure you work with networks that have your back when advertisers drop off the radar.
- Test multilingual landers. In regions like the Philippines, a mix of English and the local language can dramatically improve performance.
- Act fast on red flags. Monitor advertiser behavior and stop campaigns the moment something feels off.
This campaign reminded us that while big profits are possible in Adult Nutra, the risk of advertiser drop-off is always present—especially in GEOs where payment reliability isn’t guaranteed.
