Ok, I think I will start

So I just checked and it turns out I joined Propeller way back in 2017 and have been working with them ever since. I used to monetize my websites mainly with CPA offers but at some point I decided to look into more ways of increasing website revenue. Google ads was not an option due to website niches and I was quite sceptical about other alternatives. I don't remember exactly how I found out about Propeller (most likely on forums, where I saw other peoples' success stories and recommendations). However, it turned out to be a great network and to this day it is my favourite (even though I've tried some others as well).

I haven't really made any mistakes while monetizing except for this one: not trying out all formats right away and not using the full potential. So I recommend trying out everything, tracking your stats and seeing what really works the best instead of assuming that in advance.

The best part about Propeller is their account managers. They are professional, friendly, very responsive and ready to solve problems or update you personally if something changes (e.g. you need to update a certain ad tag or create an individual script). Never found such consistently dedicated support anywhere else, so it is definitely their strong side.

My traffic is mostly viral and varies month by month so the performance fluctuates as well. However, here are my top 3 days of this year as a little motivation for you
