Ok so you have found a winning concept with arb, you know how to launch a campaign without getting banned, you have a good relationship with one of the monetisers, they have promised you that you are on a really good rev share, you have research all the keywords and have a framework to created the most compelling creatives. 

The only problem is that you are a one man show. Completing all of those steps feels like running in molasses. You are so slow in the execution that you can only test 10% of all the ideas and opportunities you see.

We will tell you in detail where to start building your team, what country has worked the best for us, how to write the job ad so that you will be flooded with applicants, where to post it, how much to offer and then how to find the diamonds in the mountains of applications that you will get.
