How long did it take for your first profitable campaign?

7 replies
With each little tweak I can see a little be more of a ROI and I understand my traffic a little as well. My first campaign is still not profitable though!

I curious, how long did it take you guys to run your first profitable campaign with paid traffic?

      I was fortunate in that I got my first profitable campaign fairly quickly. I think I lost like $10 the first day, but got a few conversions. My second day I made $60. Then $160. Then $200+ for a few days. After that it settled in at around $60 - $200 per day.

      It stayed profitable for about 3 months. In hindsight, maybe it was a bit too easy as the next few campaigns that I tried didn't work out as well, and I probably gave up on them much sooner than I should have, but it did provide me with money to test other things.

        That's crazy! What traffic source were you using?

    For my first one ever I think about 3-4 weeks, but the more you do it, the easier it gets
