Strategy Selection: Why this Offer and Geo?
Honeytoon is a comic-based offer. We chose it for its strong alignment with premium traffic sources and as a fresh, relatively untapped opportunity with favorable CPA payouts.
Market Analysis
Our initial focus was on the US market. This decision was driven by several factors:
- Highest number of sales
- Availability of comics in English
- Highly monetizable audience
- Abundant pool of quality traffic sources
Offer & Creative Selection
We began with the most "popular" comic and creatives, leveraging proven strategies.
Hypothesis
Initial testing is best started on established paths like the US market, offering a large traffic pool and diverse source options while ensuring the offer performs well in this region.

- Native vs Video Native
- Banner vs Animated Banner
- Video Slider vs Video In-stream
