I want to spend a couple of dollars a day (less than $50), and bring in new clients for my freelance business. Is this possible, and are people actively doing it? How common is this?

    Your question is like asking how long a piece of string is, the answer to your question is difficult because we have limited information. I work on Facebook ads at 2 cents per click which equates to over 2500 clicks for $50 a day which results in many sales so yes it's possible. If your asking is it possible on Google adwords, yes but the CPC is a lot higher and my ads would cost $2.50 per click on Google.

      I do apologize for the vagueness. I'm just starting out in PPC and giving myself a one-month challenge to become an expert at it.

      How long did it take you to get to the level where you're spending 2 cents per click? How much testing/optimization did you go through?

    Well all my campaigns are different but I average around 2 cents a click by using the Facebook Ads boost post feature rather than the Ad center. I've spent thousands of dollars optimizing, split testing and trying new things over the years. Finally I've found the best way to drive targeted traffic for the lowest price from the best (in my opinion) social media traffic source. There's a few guides out there lately with ways on how to get similar results but copying other campaigns just doesn't work in my opinion as it varies for your niche, target audience and sales pages etc.

    Buying Bing and FB ads is pretty sure will bring traffic.
    Create a fan page of your website and target FB users after a short period it will work,

    You need to do extensive keyword study. Dont fall for CPC shown on Google. Most of the times it is incorrect or highly inflated figures. Study yourself. Target multiple long-tail keywords instead of exhausting your budget on top keywords.

    If you can't trust Google to give accurate CPCs; how do you determine what you can expect to receive per click for your keyword?

      Google's CPC data is accurate.

      I think he was referring to the suggested Bid from the AdWords Keyword Tool. That tool can only suggest a bid based on an average derived from aggregated data. Your own performance will vary.

    2 cents per click must be a very uncompetitive niche, lucky you. You have to spend money to split test your ads and landing pages over a period of time before you eventually have an optimised PPC campaign but it's worth doing as PPC can be very lucrative for the right people.
    Good luck

    If you are in start - so try to find as much coupons for ppc search engines, I know google offer and also bing offer in some coutries, so first use these coupons before you spend YOUR money. You can search in fiverr for ppc coupons.
