July AffHub Meetup for Ukrainian affiliates 2022

On July 21, SalesDoubler took part in the Meetup for Ukrainian affiliates 2022. It was the 148th day of the war, but even this could not stop affiliates from live communication. The main goal of the arbitrage charity event was networking between representatives of the affiliate industry. In the very heart of Kyiv, affiliates, team leaders, representatives of affiliate networks, and everyone who works in the field of arbitration gathered at one event place. 

Where Was the AffHub Meetup for Ukrainian Affiliates?

Three floors of the location were filled with people. Even the organizers were surprised by the number of guests! It felt that everyone missed live conversation and communications in the professional sphere. So, starting with the “welcome drink”, the talks did not stop for a minute!

Who Were the Speakers at AffHub Meetup for Ukrainian Affiliates?

After the guests discussed the hottest news and topics, there were the speakers. Everyone talked about where they were going and where they wanted to be in the future. And told how they keep companies afloat in conditions of war and total uncertainty.

Speaker from SalesDoubler

The representative of SalesDoubler was Oleksandr Boyko. As a speaker, he talked a lot about the difficulties the company faced since February 24th. About what you need to consider when you go to International arbitrage and what mistakes it is better not to repeat.

Ukrainian CPA network SalesDoubler has been working in performance marketing since 2012. But on February 24, the world changed – the war began. It was a surprise to a huge number of businesses. Some have adapted to new realities, and some are still looking for new formats. In any case, this is a difficult and, at times, painful process.

The numbers speak for themselves, and everything is divided into “before” and “after”. But SalesDoubler knows for sure that “Great goals are reachable”, so the whole team mobilized and began to work actively on promotion in International.

About GEO on AffHub Meetup for Ukrainian Affiliates

Each GEO has its specifics and nuances. Ignorance of this can cost you a lot of money, ban and, as a result, the fear of trying new things. A clear understanding of the target audience, the features of a particular GEO, the help of affiliate managers – all this you can have when you are working with SD. 

At GEO Philippines, for example, it makes sense to focus on men and choose the Android operating system. Most of the people here are self-employed or have their own business. Therefore, in creating advertising and setting up the target audience, this should be taken into account.

Sri Lanka is a different story. Here, gender does not matter much, but the system that the inhabitants of this country choose is understandable – Android. Here everything is unambiguous and with a profession. 27% chose a career as a doctor, and 21% as a cook. So the goods that may be of interest to them will be in great demand here.

An interesting target audience we can see in Vietram. There are a lot of housewifes and students here. More men. more than 61% of Vietnamese are single and choose Android OS.

In GEO Mexico you should focus on the younger generation using the Android OS. Most of them are students and entrepreneurs.

At GEO Kazakhstan, you need to focus on a young audience up to 35 years old. Most of these people choose the Android OS and work in the top management of large companies or have their own business. Can conclude that the target audience has a high income and purchasing power.

What Interesting Things did You Learn at AffHub Meetup for Ukrainian Affiliates?

Each conference or just a meeting, especially offline, provides an opportunity to raise a number of questions that are important for any affiliate. We decided to tell you about the issues that were discussed at the meeting briefly.

What Is Needed to Start International Arbitration? 

• Country or TIER selection for launching International traffic
• Find out the features of the local market
• Define traffic sources for this region
• Find out what additional monetization means can be used on the selected GEO
• Find out which language to use for creatives and landing page creation
• Translation of landing pages (google translator, professional translation)
• Preparation of creatives, announcements
• Choosing the time when to show ads
• Test campaign launch

What are the types of GEO

Tier 1 – the most attractive GEOs in arbitration, but quite challenging to work with. As a rule, high payouts for affiliate programs, but traffic prices can be pretty high.

Tier 2 – countries with lower competition and traffic prices are quite attractive. To launch these GEOs, you will need an average budget.

Tier 3 – countries with a lot of cheap traffic, where the population’s purchasing power is low. The payouts here are the most modest, but you can get a profit thanks to traffic volumes and an inexperienced audience. Localization is required.
