How to make $150 by spending $100 using PPC to get Affiliate sales

I currently want to invest in making $150 from an investment of $100 in PPC ads. The PPC ads will have affiliate offers which would lead to sales to get ROI.

Now I need suggestions if this is possible, If yes what PPC ads option should I use, Bing ads, Facebook ads or Adwords or any other suggestion. Should I use Affiliate marketing or CPA offers to get a better return?

My aim is to spend $100 weekly and get $150 back, this makes me $200 per month profit and then I can scale from there.

I have read some articles online about PPC ads but what I understand is that it is very difficult to get good conversions (or sales at all). Some people show they have made good return on investment in facebook ads, but it's not cakewalk unless you know and have experience with it.

I am new to Internet marketing. The other option is to use PPC ads to get a list of subscribers by giving a good ebook with this $100 and go ahead from there, but this will take some to build a list.

All suggestions are welcome, and if you can suggest any other way that is also welcome.

Thank you in advance.

    I wanted to make some money fast if possible (can work full time). I have a new blog (6months), small social media following, tiny email list.
    This is, according to my calculations, your only option. The chances that you run cold leads from PPC to a site and generate a sale immediately are slim to none. Unless, you have a reputable site/service/product which would increase your chances a bit.

    But, your best best is to run PPC traffic to a landing page and capture that traffics contact information (email address), then develop a rapport with them and introduce your products. Then, you'll at least own your traffic.

    The theory of running PPC ads directly to sales offers only make sense mathematically. In reality, it's a good way to lose money fast.

      Thank you Gambino. Yes totally agree on this. Though this will take time but in the long run it will bring traffic and warm leads which are very likely to convert.

      It's like building trust and then building business.

    My one cent: start out by building a great sales funnel first. Preferably, one with a couple high ticket products in it.

    Promoting proven high converting affiliate products with Bing ads or FB ads plus some high ticket products at the backend is the surest way to make $200, $300 or even $400 for every $100 you spend.

    When you sell just a single high ticket product and land a $1000 or $3000 commission, it has covered your investment over and over again. Just know that it takes the same amount of energy and marketing that sells a $27 product to sell a $2000 and even $10,000 product.

    I'm talking from experience because I've built out systems like this for our clients.

      Thank you for sharing your experience. I am still new to building a great sales funnel, I need to research this.

      Any suggestions on where to find high ticket products. Is it through Clickbank, JVZOO, Shareasale or direct vendor ?

      Hi,

      I will also add on my one cent of advice for you. Consider the following things -

      1. You might earn higher if you have a great converting offer
      2. You might earn higher if you have an awesome sales funnel
      3. You can earn lower if you dont have 1 or 2
      4. Best bet for you - start with the marketing, see where it goes, from the data you collect by marketing, learn,optimize and again rinse the process.

      Do let us know your success story.

    To add to Gambino's comment, the mode of operation of the different PPC ad platform varies. Bing, Facebook, Adwords etc.

    You will burn your money, if you do not know how they operate. It is not mathematics. You will have to test and tweak before you can get the sweet spot and learning does take time and some cash. Except you get an expert to do it for you which will require you spending more money other than your budget.

    I honestly do not how to quickly go about achieving that other than it takes time and it does require spending some money to test. Beside going the paid route, the other ways may be free but will require a whole lot of time before you start seeing results

      Thank you. Yes you are righ, I have burnt a small amount in testing, but I learnt a few things.

      The paid route is the fastest, but it is also the fastest to burn cash unless it us done under expert guidence.

      Any advice on which traffic converts well Facebook, Bing or Adwords? or does it depend on the type of product we are promoting.

    My Suggestion is You can Use 7search.com PPC Network. You can start with Promoting affiliate Product from Clickbank.

    Start with $50 investment. If you see the result you can invest more.Also you will get More offers in 7Search PPC Network. As one of the member said choose high value and high competitive product

    Use Google Keyword tool and get targeted Keywords for that Affiliate link and Use Phrase Keywords. that is Keyword within Codes "Keyword". So that you can target the Audience.

    My advice, stop looking at the get rich over night salespages. It doesn't happen like that. If you spend your first $100 in PPC I would be happy with 1-3 sales (at $10-15 comm) and the learning exp. Take the loss in $

    Like others have said as well, if you dont build an email list ( or following) plus a sales funnel you will most likely just blow your $100 and give up like 99% of the people starting off with PPC.

    Affiliate marketing is just like starting a new job, there is a learning curve and it will take time to understand and even longer to master.

    I think Bing, AdWords etc offer coupons to get started not as an incentive to sign up, but because people are afraid of losing their hard earned money with no guarantees. That coupon is to help you learn, and gather data before investing your own money. PPC is not for everyone and honestly I never advise people to go with PPC if they dont have a budget set aside that they are ok with losing.

    Think of it like college, everyone spends thousands of dollars for information in hopes that they can make money later in life, but as well all know thats not always the case

    I notice some have advised having an expert work the PPC campaign.

    What kind of minimum budget would be required?

    I have about $3500 to $4000 to invest, would this be enough?

    Who offers this service at a reasonable price?

    Thanks,

    My suggestions is that to start with 7seach.com or youtube ads where you get clicks for cents and use clickbank affiliates which have high gravity products of good commissions rates. Also use tracking system to know the winning keywords and only bid on that keywords to make good profits.

    Find your niche market and create a blog and monetize it by posting regularly and placing banners of affiliate programs you would have joined and then use your $100 to do PPC advertising.

    To do successful PPC advertising you need to employ an SEO tool that can spy on the keywords your competitors in the same niche are using to rank their websites, then use these to SEO your own site and better still there are some SEO tools or softwares that do both SEO and PPC which can even help you spy on your competitors' ad campaigns that are helping then to rank high which you can copy and paste and create ad campaigns and ad groups from.

    You can enjoy some fantastic page 1 results with these SEO/PPC tools. There are a number of good ones out there. You just need to do your research and decide what are your needs and how much you can pay.

    Hope this helps. Wishing you all the best...

    Bing is generally much cheaper than Adwords for PPC, the traffic does convert but note that volume is much lower on Bing than on Adwords.

    Also, you can direct link to aff offers on Bing where Adwords don't allow this.
