$500 to invest in CPA

by DarkSlayer
11 replies
I was in CPA 2 years ago but I left this earning method because of very very low income. Now I want to return in CPA with around $500 investment.

I'm a web developer experienced with PHP, HTML, phtotshop editing.
I want some CPA legend to help me how to start and where to invest this money to earn decent income.

    You need to find yourself which method you prefer. I'm a programmer too and I fall in love with PPV because I think it's easy. The landing page is simple and I can make it in few minutes because I know code. Also, I'm not native speaker so I can use image to represent things better than text.

    I think if you have $500 you might start with PPV from 50onred or $1000 for LeadImpact

      Thanks for your reply. I think PPV returns very low income. almost $1/1000uv is quite insane. I need better suggestion. Willing to invest $1k if necessary.

        I've tried lots of different types of internet marketing. While I can tell you PPV is one of the harder ones to get used to (you have to test every little detail, borders, CTA, etc), it happens on a much faster scale than any other kind of paid advertising. If you can maintain a good CTR and run the proper split tests, there's people who can get $50-100 per 1,000 views, which is typically about $15-20. Moreover, if you target the proper URLs, you can easily get 3,000 or more views in a day.

        There's people making a full-time living with PPV advertising, it's just not easy. And for the best ROI you need a landing page.

        I find PPV to be much easier than POF, PPC, or Facebook Ads.

        Also I've made over $1,000 a day before, so I would not worry about low returns.

        If you know how to do it, you can get ROI more than 100%. I see many people generate $10k+ net profit a month

    Hey,

    If you intend to start CPA again the first thing I would recommend is getting a good network, one that will actually pay you and have an account manager that will have a general interest in assisting you in your growth!
    *Here s/he will help you get a top converting offer and the methods their advertisers are using.

    MaxBounty, Peerfly, MundoMedia, are decent networks to get started with.

    With your budget of around $500-$1,000 I would look at doing FB, Bing or Direct2Site Media Buys.

    The fact you are a webdesigner/programmer will help you build good landing pages to pre sell offer, I highly recommend doing this step.


    Good Luck and welcome Back!

    What are your expectations for your 500$?

    I'm asking this because your post gives me the impression that your expectations are unrealistic. Your 500$ are not going to make you any decent money. I would be happy to breakeven on any of the traffic sources that prople have shared on this thread. Your first goal is going to be to learn.

    You invest $500 in CPA when you already know what you're doing. When you're looking to scale.

    If you haven't been successful, there are many low cost ways to do CPA to learn and practice before dumping money into it.

    If you're asking what to invest the money in, then you don't know enough.

      May be I know but not enough to invest. More accurate path will minimize the waste of money. BTW, thanks for your reply.

    I don't agree that ppv is low income, in the end you can analyze the numbers all you want but the only numbers that mean much (to me at least) is profit and EPC.

    What methods did you do in the past? Perhaps it might be the easiest to use those again and just work harder at mastering them?

    PPC might also be a good idea

    Instead of thinking in terms of "minimizing wasting of money", thinking in terms of "maximizing learning with money."
