My other thread "$50/day how long did it take you///////"
seems either I didnt make myself clear or its my fault for miscommunicating

what I meant was how long did it take you to get to $50/day NET PROFIT with CPA

a lot of guys are answering, oh 7 days, 8 days once I started blah blah campaign.

Really? You got to $50/day PROFIT in 7 days? Thats hard to believe
or
are you saying I got up to $50/day Daily Ad Budget?

If its daily Ad budget , that would make it very difficult to calculate how relevant that number is overall.


If its daily profit, then I would say Job well done

Everyone is different, don't worry about how long others take, set your own goal and shoot for it. We get into limiting ourselves when we hear about what others are doing and what they think is possible or not possible.

Exactly, asking about other people's success or failure stories won't get you anywhere, believe me, even making a thread like this is a sign of a wrong mindset. I'm not saying this to be rude, to disrepect you or discourage you or anything like that, I'm just trying to help a little.

Don't rely on what other people say. They in most cases lie. Rely on your common sense and healthy judgement and keep strong work ethic. The results will sooner or later come and you don't need to know how fast other people did or did not "make" it.

I realize that what you are saying is trueh
however on the Adsense board for example
you have people on there saying I make 10 or 15 bucks a day, how can I make more? Then you have some saying, ok it took me a year and I am up to 100/day Adsense, thats not fantastic but it gives you some idea, to shoot for. And if someone was going to lie, I think they would say I am making 10k a month after 3 months, not 100/day after a year

If people are making 20/day after 6 months with CPA, and thats an average amount, and very very few people make more than that, I want to know that. Sure other peoples success doesnt mean you will make that, but

If nobody is making decent money and they are all busting their asses
what makes you think YOU will make it then?
To me I am trying to get a VARIETY of answers of people saying, Oh I WISH i made that much I have been busting my ass for a year. or Ya i am making that after 2 months easy, but If people are giving out numbers that are GROSS INCOME, not PROFIT, its ludicrous to use that number as meaning anything

when I just asked how long did it take you to hit 50/day, and did not make the distinction was that PROFIT, or GROSS income or what

I had tons of answers
when I now ask is that PROFIT? you are talking about?
suddenly everyone clams up, which tells me that maybe yes its gross income they are talking about not profit,
thats kind of important to me, and should be to anyone else
I realize you have BSrs on any board, and you sift through all the answers and decide, well I think overall I can make the conclusion that the truth is XYZ based on what I have read

Trevor

Sure, the truth is somewhere in between, if people are making revenue claims instead of profit claims, that's at least something for them to post around.

Anyway, I didn't mean my first response to discourage you in any way. It sure is good to have a clear figure in mind and a clear plan on how to get to the level and when to achieve it, I'm just saying other people tend to not say the truth, or the "truth" is often skewed. This is something I learned from marketing and personal life experience.

On the Adsense board, if people did occasionally come onto the board and say,
Hey I am making XYZ after a year, it was always, for the most part their net income, since they use organic traffic from SEO
On this board, since for the most part people BUY traffic and pay good money for the traffic


Thats why I asked is this income GROSS income or PROFIT?
That question would not be asked on the Adsense board, since most of the guys , have only hosting costs and domain renewal costs to consider


Here, on this board, since you not only have high costs to buy the traffic, you can actually LOSE money because of that, I think asking is that NET income, is a very valid question.
if someone says, I am at $100 bucks per day now, and sure they are taking in $100/day but they fail to mention its costing them $90/day to get that, ..............thats a little bit relevant dont you think?

I guess people dont like that question though

I agree with ppc coach!

A lot of people wants assurance that it's really possible to make money with cpa. But the only way to know that is to take action.

Focus on principles, not on methods.
