I decided to take another shot at using PPC ads with my affiliate marketing efforts to see how well I could do. I wanted to see if I would actually be able to make a profit.
Right now I have two ads up. They’ve been up for just 4 days now. Both are set for a $20 a day budget. So, in total, I’m spending $40 a day on the ads alone. But the results have been astonishing.
Click through rates for PPC ads are known to be fairly low, but I’m seeing anywhere from %2 to %5 CTR on both of my ads.
So, that’s the first thing that has been great about them.
The second part, and my personal favorite, is that with the ads are converting visits to sales very well.
How well?
For the past four days, ever since I put the ads up, I’ve been getting $200+ a day in profit! I’ve made just over $825 in just 4 days using the Google Adwords ads alone.
PPC can be very tricky. I’ve changed up my ad copy probably 10 times in the past couple of days, but the CTR has gone up since I have. So, I must be doing something right.
If you’re just getting into affiliate marketing, I’d highly suggest you avoid using PPC until you have some cash on hand that you won’t mind losing. PPC is not always a winning game. Sometimes you’ll only see a few dollars in profit, sometimes you won’t see a profit it all.
It depends on the niche you’re promoting, your ad copy, and a stroke of luck. So, if you’re not keen on possibly losing some cash, don’t try PPC until you’re absolutely sure that you’re ready.
While using Google Adwords can show strong profit, like I’ve been seeing the past few days, it doesn’t always work that way.
There’s a huge learning curve involved with pay per click ads. And if you don’t know what you’re doing, you could go down very quickly.
