Profitable GEOs nobody is talking about ( CIS )

Recently, the affiliate marketing media sphere is increasingly talking about top-tier GEOs in the entire advertising sector - the UK, Spain, Italy, Singapore, the US and other options are the topics that pop up on forums literally every day. All the while, people completely neglect less popular, but just as well-performing countries, where the competition isn’t as stiff and which provide an extensive lineup of offers, decent payouts and an active target audience that responds well to ads.

These countries are the topics of today’s discussion. Get comfy – allow us to present 4 excellent GEOs to promote offers in, as well as a detailed analysis of each one. Let’s get started!

Kazakhstan

An excellent venue for affiliate marketing, inhabited by over 20 million people, most of which are active Internet users. Around 90% of the target audience aged 25 to 34 log onto social media, make online purchases or access the Internet for whatever other purpose every day.

Surprisingly, in certain aspects, Kazakhstan’s economy is stronger than that of Russia. The former’s audience at times earns more money, meaning it can afford even expensive offers. And while the population isn’t as large as the Russian one, this GEO is no less viable an option.

As for user interests, the shopping cart is fairly standard - cosmetics, household goods and appliances, clothing and shoes. At the same time, almost any vertical can perform well here due to the locals’ love for making impulsive purchases.

Adult nutra, dating, E-commerce, cryptocurrency and just the financial direction in general, betting or gambling. All this will trigger a positive response from the target audience, and better yet – there’s plenty of room to move here, all thanks to the availability of an enormous number of popular traffic sources in Kazakhstan. The target audience spends the most time on VKontakte (45% of the population), Instagram (30%), Odnoklassniki (35%) and YouTube (15%). Also somewhere between all these options is Facebook, which is said to house the GEO’s most solvent audience. Whether or not promoting offers through FB is a good idea here is up to you.

Armenia

An even smaller state, which at the same time is famous for its steadily developing economy and quite a decent standard of living of the local population. Like we’ve mentioned, it’s not too big – a mere 3 million people, 75% of which use the Internet and around 60% are active social media users.

Facebook and Odnoklassniki are among the most popular traffic sources here. The combination, of course, is as strange as possible, but why not - about 1,200,000 people prefer the former, and around 600,000 - the latter. Instagram’s audience here is also steadily growing with each day. Still, the competition here isn’t exactly fierce, meaning this is a great time to enter the niche.

VKontakte is also a good option to launch ad campaigns on, but according to statistics, Armenian users prefer to either listen to music or watch videos here, meaning that traditional ads will hardly perform well.

As for online shopping, the local target audience responds quite well, with cities like Yerevan, Hrazdan and Gyumri housing the most avid shoppers. More specifically, Armenians love gambling or just online games, they actively buy cosmetics and skin-rejuvenation or anti-wrinkle products, car accessories and household appliances. At the same time, people’s income here is relatively average, which means that the financial vertical with crypto offers will find a great response from this audience.

When launching campaigns, keep in mind that the most active TA are young people aged 25 and up – they make up the bulk of the social media audience and of the online shopping crowd. Also there’s no point in focusing exclusively on the national language, Armenian, since the majority of the population (around 70%) is fluent in Russian.

Azerbaijan

Yes, yes, next is the largest Caucasian country, with a population of more than 10 million people, with the majority of them being the GEO’s legit indigenous inhabitants. The locals prefer to speak their native language, but about 30% of them speak Russian well.
As for the country’s lifestyle, the people here are conservative, holds on to family values, try to present themselves the best way they can. The people in this GEO are kind and always help each other.

As for the target audience, as far as affiliate marketing is concerned, around 97% of Azerbaijan’s population goes online daily. The most popular traffic sources here are YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, VK, Twitter, OK, LinkedIn, Viber, Telegram and so on. This list can go on for quite some time, but you get the idea - almost any option here is viable.
Now if we talk about verticals, one of the most popular ones is gambling. Even though casinos and bookmakers have been illegal for 20 years now, currently there’s talk of legalizing this industry – that’s how popular it has become.

At the same time, crypto offers that promise quick profits and cryptocurrency market training courses also perform. Nutra is just as popular in this GEO – the female audience responds best to rejuvenating cosmetic and weight-loss products, whereas men a more interested in adult nutra offers - potency- and sexual sensation-enhancing products.
Moldova

Last but not least on our list today is Moldova. This GEO boasts of having fairly high wages despite the relatively small population size. In total, around 4.5 million people live here and they make an average of $6,000 annually.

However, this isn’t the country’s biggest advantage - after all, far more appealing is the complete lack of competition here and active audience, ready to study and buy something of real value. Common local problems include extra weight, joint pain, cardiovascular problems, wrinkles and skin aging. In other words, a standard set for the nutra vertical.
You can also try the dating and cryptocurrency directions. In the first case, best to utilize the image of a proper young and attractive girl, and almost any approach will do when promoting crypto offers. Residents of Moldova will definitely not pass up a chance to make some extra money and it hardly matters in what form you will choose to present this opportunity - all you need to do is motivate the TA to act.

Speaking of which, the GEO’s ad field is quite an extensive one, with you being able to drive traffic to Odnoklassniki, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Vkontakte, Pinterest and even Snapchat.

Summing up

In today's article, we decided to move away from the GEOs familiar to so many affiliates and instead analyze the options that are often overlooked, but are more than viable for affiliate marketing purposes, where the competition isn’t as fierce and which offer excellent working conditions. Try out the countries we covered above, launch an ad campaign there and be sure to report the results. Good luck!
