Hey everyone,
Just wanted to share a simple, low-budget case study on how I made $520 in net profit in 5 days using push notification ads and a Nutra sweepstakes offer. This one’s perfect for beginners or those testing Tier 3 traffic sources without huge risk.
Instead of jumping straight into big-budget campaigns, I focused on fast testing with:
This was all about validating the offer with small spend, analyzing click data, and scaling only what worked.
This is where the magic happened.
Push ads still work — especially in Tier 3 countries where traffic is cheap and offers are simple.
Don’t overcomplicate — no prelander, no email sequence, just direct linking to a proven SOI sweep worked perfectly.
Track aggressively — placements and devices make or break a campaign. Turn off the waste early.
Dayparting matters — users in some GEOs are more responsive in specific windows. Monitor the time-of-day stats closely.
Scaling tip: Once it worked, I duplicated the campaign into a second Tier 3 GEO, and profits continued at the same pace.
This wasn’t a massive campaign — but that’s the point.
With just $30/day, I validated the offer, optimized traffic, and walked away with $500+ profit in under a week. For beginners or budget-conscious affiliates, this is a simple blueprint you can replicate across different GEOs and networks.
Let me know if you'd like a follow-up on how I scaled this to $1k+/week or if you want to see how I added a pre-lander for better quality leads later on.

Just wanted to share a simple, low-budget case study on how I made $520 in net profit in 5 days using push notification ads and a Nutra sweepstakes offer. This one’s perfect for beginners or those testing Tier 3 traffic sources without huge risk.
The Strategy
Instead of jumping straight into big-budget campaigns, I focused on fast testing with:
- A proven vertical: Nutra/sweepstakes
- A Tier 3 GEO with affordable traffic
- A clean single-opt-in flow
- Direct linking (no landing page for this round)
This was all about validating the offer with small spend, analyzing click data, and scaling only what worked.
The Offer
- Vertical: Sweepstakes / Nutra
- Type: SOI (Single Opt-In)
- Action Required: User submits email or phone number
- Payout: $1.80 per conversion
- Source: Partner network (any decent CPA network will have similar)
Campaign Setup
- Traffic Source: Push Ads
- GEO: Tier 3 (exact country not specified due to confidentiality, but similar results can be expected in countries like ID, IN, PK, NG, BD, etc.)
- Targeting:
- Device: Android
- OS: 8+
- Browser: Chrome only
- Frequency cap: 1 impression per 24 hours per user
- Budget:
- Daily spend: $30 max
- Total test: $150
Optimization Approach
This is where the magic happened.
Step 1: Broad Test
- I ran the offer broadly across multiple placements and monitored EPCs (Earnings Per Click).
- Within 24–48 hours, I saw consistent clicks but inconsistent conversions.
Step 2: Placement Filtering
- Using tracker data (RedTrack in this case), I created a blacklist of underperforming placements after they spent $3–$4 with no conversions.
- This removed about 40% of the traffic.
Step 3: Device Focus
- I noticed that Android 10+ users on Chrome had the highest CTR and CVR.
- Disabled older OS versions and Safari traffic completely.
Step 4: Time & Day Optimization
- Mornings (6 AM – 10 AM local time) performed best. Adjusted dayparting accordingly.
The Results (5-Day Snapshot)
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Spend | $148 |
| Revenue | $668 |
| Net Profit | $520 |
| ROI | 351.35% |
| Conversions | 371 |
| EPC | $0.16 |
| CTR | 1.21% |
| Conversion Rate | 19.7% (click → lead) |
