Starting Capital for CPA campaign?

I recommend affiliate marketing. It can be highly profitable

Another great option is e-commerce and dropshipping. You can start with a very small budget with dropshipping because your getting paid before you have to buy the products to ship.

You can start selling with dropshipping through platforms like ebay, amazon, etc

I'll toss in three and a half cents.

$1,000 is an adequate starting budget for PPV or PPC. Without knowing what you're doing, however, you need to consider that $1,000 an investment in your education, not an investment that will likely yield a favourable ROI; although "favourable" is transitory, since a favourable ROI when starting out is usually any positive return on your investment, and you'll expect higher returns the more experienced you get.

Now, you say you know how to build websites, but website building and conversion optimization are two different things. If you know both, then good. If not, the last thing you want to do now is pay for traffic. Think of the situation in real-world terms. You own a shop in town but it looks horrendous and the moment a potential patron steps through the door that horrendous design sends them right back out again. What you wouldn't want to do, therefore, is pay for expensive advertising in the paper, or on the radio, or on local TV networks. Money down the drain.

It depends on the business model you have in mind, the market, the niche, the monetization, but almost always you're better off learning how to convert traffic from free sources. Of course, "free" is a bit of a misnomer. So let's say: avoid media buys; concentrate instead on free platforms that can deliver traffic. Which can still, of course, cost money; but if you're clever, not nearly as much when starting out.

Let's say you want to promote a Click Bank product; just as a for instance. One way you might do it would be this:

1. Squeeze Page
2. High-Demand Incentive Gift
3. Monetized Sales Funnel &/ or Gift
4. Follow-Up Email Series
5. Blog on the back-end for article syndication

The above (a bare bones description though it is) represents a solid website structure for many different markets, niches, and offers.

To generate traffic? Instead of hurling paid traffic?

One method:

- Pay for articles
- Pay for syndication

Much cheaper, and there's another benefit. You can learn how to optimize your business to convert visitors into subscribers and subscribers into action-takers (your monetization) without spending a fortune on paid traffic. And when you do appear to have yourself optimized? Then . . . I'd suggest you put a toe into paid traffic. It's just safer.

$1000 is a decent starting point.
Do you have any idea on what traffic sources you are interested in?

With that low budget, you can try Pof ads, but currently they are not accepting any new advertisers. If you can manager to get one, you better try that.

Or like others said, a min of $1000 is a good start.
