I'm a little ecstatic

4 replies
Yesterday while on facebook a niche came to my mind. I quickly searched for any products on clickbank, and found one that gives out about a dozen bucks per commission.

I ran a couple google searches, and using SEO for Firefox easily saw that there was no way I was going to rank well with a website/blog without putting in TONS of work. However.... there were ZERO google ads on any of the search result pages.

So I hop onto adwords (I have run a single adwords campaign in my life, for a grand total of 2 days before) and create 3 different ads real quick, targeting the couple searches that I think would be the most likely to turn into buyers.

I check my stats 12 hours later (mind you I have it runnin on a shoestring budget) and I've created 10 direct hops, for a grand total of $.50!

Unfortunately Clickbank stats are running like 36 hours behind, so I don't know if any of those turned into a sale, but my mind is rushing with possibilities. If I can make a sale in every 20 hops ($1 of advertising), I'm going to send this daily ad budget through the roof.

    Are you direct linking to a sales page? I wouldn't get your heart set on getting a sale every 20 hops. 5 cents per click is a good price though...good luck.

      Even if it takes 40 hops per sale, thats only costing $2 in ads. For around $10 in profit.

      I'm hoping its less than 40, due to some personal knowledge of people in the niche.

    You said that the commission was $12 per sale, so why would you only be excited making a sale every $1 ad spend? Sure, that would be great, but you should also be excited if your cost per sale is $5 or even $10. Either way, you are making money.

    Did you say that you are linking direct to the hop page? sigh

      I set this up in in like 5 minutes. Sure it's the down and dirty approach, but I'm just trying to get a feel for it's potential right now.
