Objective of This Case Study

This case study explains how net profit was achieved, not just revenue.

The focus is on:

  • Planning before launch
  • Controlled paid traffic
  • Content that removes hesitation
  • A commission structure that supports scale

This is not a beginner case.

Initial Strategy (Before Launch)

Before launching ads, the affiliate defined four clear rules:

1. Annual plans must drive revenue

Monthly plans act only as entry points.

2. Intent before volume

Paid traffic targets users already comparing hosting prices.

3. Content explains, ads attract

Ads bring users in. Content helps them decide.

4. Lifetime plans are upside, not dependency

Helpful for totals, but not required for success.

5. Before directing traffic to Thamara, Google Search ads were routed through a dedicated bridge landing page.

This page was designed to pre-qualify visitors, clarify plan differences, and reduce hesitation before forwarding users to the final offer.

As part of a performance incentive, the affiliate qualified for an 80% commission tier by generating 30 qualified leads within three weeks.
This threshold was reached on the first day of the campaign.

Target Markets

Why Thamara Closed the Sale

Conversions did not rely on aggressive selling.

Users converted because:

  • Pricing was transparent
  • No hidden renewal surprises
  • Annual plans were clearly positioned
  • Upgrade paths were simple

The product experience removed hesitation.

Key Takeaways

  • Net profit came from structure, not spend
  • Annual plans carried most of the revenue
  • Monthly plans created volume, not profit
  • Paid traffic worked because intent was real
  • Content reduced risk instead of creating urgency

Final Note

This case study reflects:

  • A professional Spanish-speaking affiliate
  • Existing trust and owned channels
  • Controlled paid traffic execution

It is not a beginner scenario,
but it shows what is possible when economics and execution align.
