Hey everyone!
I wanted to share something quite exciting that’s been working really well for me and could be a great income stream for those of you looking to monetize social and casual traffic. This case study is centered around a unique offer type — Social Surveys — and how I’ve been using it to earn through social networking and chat-related traffic.
So here’s the basic concept: these are smart, lightweight surveys designed for people who enjoy chatting, social networking, and making new friends online. The idea is simple — a user lands on a fun, engaging page, answers a handful of very easy questions (usually six), and then gets redirected to a chat or dating site. The moment they complete the survey, you as the affiliate get paid. It’s a classic CPL (Cost Per Lead) flow with an extremely low barrier to entry for users.
What's different about these "Social Surveys" is how they merge the simplicity of traditional surveys with the curiosity and engagement of online chats or dating. You're targeting users not with “work from home” or “get paid” bait, but with something that actually feels fun for them — making new friends or finding companionship.
There are two styles of landers used in this campaign:
From my experience, the cartoonish version works well for more general traffic, while the map version is ideal for localized campaigns in GEOs where users are more responsive to regional personalization.
The beauty of Social Survey offers is how flexible they are with traffic. Here's what I've tested:
Pro tip: Once you hit the initial test budget (in my case, around $200), the network team provided feedback, optimization tips, and even adjusted my rates based on performance. That kind of support can really help push your campaign to profitability.
I know people always ask “what’s converting right now?” — so here’s a list of GEOs that are currently giving excellent CR (conversion rates) based on my recent data:
The strong performance in Tier 3 countries like Mozambique, Mali, and Uzbekistan is especially noteworthy. Lower competition + lower CPC = big profit potential.
What makes this campaign powerful is its simplicity and scale potential. You're not convincing people to buy anything — you're just tapping into their desire to connect, socialize, and chat. It’s a win-win: users enjoy the flow, and you earn on a low-friction action.
If you're already working with social, casual, or dating traffic, this is a no-brainer. But even if you're not, it's worth testing — especially if you're working with Push, Pop, or Facebook.
Let me know if you’ve tested similar offers or want to brainstorm optimization angles. Happy to share more insights if there’s interest!
Hope this inspires someone to test a new vertical that’s working right now!

What Exactly Is a Social Survey?
So here’s the basic concept: these are smart, lightweight surveys designed for people who enjoy chatting, social networking, and making new friends online. The idea is simple — a user lands on a fun, engaging page, answers a handful of very easy questions (usually six), and then gets redirected to a chat or dating site.

Landing Page Options That Convert
There are two styles of landers used in this campaign:
- Cartoon-style landing page — Light, fun, and universal. This one appeals to a younger, casual crowd.
- Interactive map landing page — This one shows “girls nearby” and is available in multiple languages like English, German, Spanish, Romanian, and more.
From my experience, the cartoonish version works well for more general traffic, while the map version is ideal for localized campaigns in GEOs where users are more responsive to regional personalization.
Traffic Sources That Work Best
The beauty of Social Survey offers is how flexible they are with traffic. Here's what I've tested:
- Push & Popunder: Surprisingly good results, especially when you hit the right devices and times of day. Volume is easy to scale, and the conversion flow is fast.
- Email: Still performs great if you have access to a good list, especially one that has social or dating interests.
- Facebook Ads: Definitely an option. You can even track results using your Facebook pixel (plug it into the var_3 parameter).
Pro tip: Once you hit the initial test budget (in my case, around $200), the network team provided feedback, optimization tips, and even adjusted my rates based on performance. That kind of support can really help push your campaign to profitability.
Top GEOs I Recommend Testing
I know people always ask “what’s converting right now?” — so here’s a list of GEOs that are currently giving excellent CR (conversion rates) based on my recent data:
- United States – 5%
- Thailand – 5%
- Philippines – 6%
- France – 4%
- Italy – 3%
- Mozambique – a crazy 21%!
- Bangladesh – 9%
- Romania – 6%
- Mali – 16%
- Uzbekistan – 12%
The strong performance in Tier 3 countries like Mozambique, Mali, and Uzbekistan is especially noteworthy. Lower competition + lower CPC = big profit potential.
