The secret of smart surveys: the most stable CPA offers in the market

Are there CPA offers that work exceptionally well on almost any traffic, require minimal effort and testing costs, and still bring stable profits for years? Of course, there are: we present to you Smart Surveys – smart questionnaires from Zeydoo, our own offers, which are celebrating their 3rd birthday this year.

What are Smart Surveys from Zeydoo?

Smart Surveys, also known as Smart Questionnaires, are CPL (Cost-Per-Lead) offers with a very simple conversion: you get paid when a user fills out a short questionnaire on topics such as dating, finance, sweepstakes, or iGaming. All surveys have a very simple flow, so you can earn a conversion in just a minute!

1. The user sees your advertisement. It could be a push notification, popunder, Facebook banner, or any other format of your choice.
2. The advertisement redirects the user to the offer landing page — a ready-made creative that you receive along with the tracking link of the survey in your Zeydoo account.
3. The landing page of this offer is a questionnaire: the lead needs to answer a couple of simple questions, for example, such as:

4. When the user fills out the questionnaire, you receive a conversion.

Payments

All smart surveys operate on a hybrid payment model. This means that we pay a fixed rate depending on the chosen GEO until you reach a certain daily limit. Once this happens, you’ll start earning on a RevShare model, meaning the fixed rate will become dynamic.

In other words, this model allows you to scale campaigns without any limitations or the need to stop traffic when reaching the daily cap.

Where to find them?

To work with smart surveys, log in to your Zeydoo account and select one of them from the list of verticals. Currently, there are about 20 options available.

What are the benefits of smart surveys?

The main advantage of smart surveys is that they don't require immense experience or a huge budget. You can start testing with as little as $5 per day.

Moreover, these offers are very stable: they have been around for over 3 years, but they bring no fewer conversions than they did at the very beginning—their effectiveness shows no signs of decreasing. The secret is simple: many Zeydoo teams have been constantly working on smart surveys since their appearance on the market. Developers, optimizers, analysts, and sales managers are involved in the project: “We closely collaborate with clients and take their feedback on offers into account”.

And that's not all the benefits, so we'll provide a full list:

• Simple flow. No need to invent complex funnels — testing and scaling with smart surveys is very easy! This results in higher CR and excellent profit, despite the rates being lower than offers with complex flows.
• High payouts. Firstly, Smart Surveys are our own in-house offers. This automatically implies higher payouts than on offers from third-party owners. Moreover, our smart surveys involve additional monetization, which in turn allows for increased CPA rates. And finally, the rates vary depending on the GEO, but don't forget that you can talk to your personal manager and negotiate special conditions. If you have good traffic, we can offer rate increases of up to 5X-10X, making it easier and faster to scale your campaign.
• No caps. Thanks to the hybrid payment model, you don't need to stop your campaign once you reach a certain limit. When you reach the test cap, and we confirm that the quality of your traffic is high enough, you practically have unlimited scaling opportunities for your campaign. So, with smart surveys, you can make huge profits — limitations may only come from your traffic source.
• Fast feedback on quality. Again, because smart surveys are Zeydoo's own offer, our managers provide very quick feedback on your traffic. We can check all the metrics of your campaigns, allowing you to receive instant optimization recommendations. For example, we can advise on white- and blacklists, additional targeting to aid scaling, and so on.
• Fast and inexpensive testing. Payouts are based on the CPL model, meaning these offers have very high CR, and you can quickly determine if your campaign is working. That's why you won't have to spend huge amounts on tests. Here's what Sergey, the team lead of the media buying team, says about it:

"Most media buyers would agree that the test budget should cover three conversion prices: for example, if the offer payout is $20, you spend $60 on tests. If the budget is spent and there are no conversions, the campaign should be stopped. Payouts for smart surveys start from $0.01: imagine how low the testing costs will be. Maybe they’ll exceed $0.03 due to traffic expenses, but $5-$10 will be enough in any case."

• Easy scaling. Once you finish testing, you can easily increase your budget, drive more traffic, and exponentially increase your profits without restrictions.
• Ready-made creatives. All smart surveys come with ready-made landing pages. This is quite logical — these landing pages host the surveys. And these aren't random creatives with a couple of obscure questions: our team constantly tests and updates these landing pages to ensure they continue to convert.
• GEO – the whole world! Smart surveys work worldwide, so you can buy traffic from any GEO you like or choose from the top GEOs of the week.
• Almost all traffic sources are accepted. We accept practically all types of traffic, and you can choose any source. Of course, there are exceptions, such as fraudulent and motivated traffic, scam, as well as bot traffic and proxy traffic — no one needs such quality. You can find a full list of restrictions on the survey offer page in your Zeydoo account.

How to work with smart surveys: tips from the media buying team

As we've already mentioned, no special skills are needed here — thanks to the simple funnel, working with smart surveys is very easy. Here's what our media buyers recommend:

1. Check the top GEOs that we post every week on the Afflift forum: in the Smart Surveys from Zeydoo thread.
2. Our experience shows that the best traffic for smart surveys is push and popunder. Facebook traffic is also an excellent option, it works great: here's proof from our partner who earned over $23k using Facebook. However, we recommend testing other traffic sources as well.
3. If you want, you can add something to your funnel: for example, a pre-lander. However, this is not necessary, and some partners claim that a direct link to the survey works even better.
4. Don't know which offer to choose? We present to your attention a list of the most effective smart surveys that will definitely bring many conversions.
