running cpa on bing ads with 300usd

Hey Balon

BingAds is a great platform that has the potential to give you a pretty big R.O.I.

I would say that the best way to start would be to run a test campaign. Simply find a high converting product and set the daily budget to maybe $10/day. Dont spend more than $20-$30 for testing.

Then track the results. If you are in profit from what you spend, then scaling that campaign would be a great idea. Also, only focus on 1 campaign at a time, but test first before you add campaigns.

Hope this helps!

1. I'm not really sure what you mean?
2. You should try both
3. Yes IMO

I'd start by reading up on running offers with bing and ppc on here, then once you have the general idea then jump in and start creating campaigns

Bing Ads can work great - but they are not normally that cheap for popular keywords! You need an offer that has good conversions.

Also, you can usually get better results if you build your own landing page for your traffic you go to.

From what I see in Bing ads, minimum cost per click is $.05

Keywords at that price, however, are likely to give you impressions but little to no clicks. Oftentimes there are zero ads in the search engine, for those keywords, at those prices--for good reason.

The average CPC hovers around $.20 - $1.00+, for many of the "converting" keywords/niches I've researched.

I'd recommend you should expect to spend a minimum of $.15 per click, to start, so you aren't disappointed by more costly clicks.

Here's what I do to look for offers....

1.) Divide the payout by 100....

Widget X pays $6 for a conversion

100 / $6.00 = $.06

==> You'll need to pay $.06 per click (max) in order to break even, That's considering you get ONE buyer/conversion for every 100 visitors. Of course, testing will show the true numbers.

==>So once you have an idea of what you will be promoting, go into the Bing keyword tool and type in the keywords associated with it. Then look at the results; mouse over each term to see the average bid.

That will let you know how much you should expect to spend per click to keep a certain position in the search results (i.e. #1-8)

If the lowest cost you can get for a click is $.08, you'll lose money with every conversion, theoretically.

Of course there's a lot more involved, but as a newbie to CPA myself, that "method" works for figuring out what offer has a chance of working math-wise, before bothering. That and a small bit of intuition seems to be working just fine!

I do not recommend promoting CB products if you're new into affiliate marketing. The good ones have lots of competition.

You don't need to create an ad for a specific product but for a solution. Use "money keywords" to build a list, offer the product and then keep offering in the back end.

thanks for this thread it gives me idea, maybe in future i can try this also.

1. What is the best way to start?

That most important thing to remember with Bing Ads for me is checking over all the settings, and find going good keywords.

2. How should i choose a product in jv / cb?

Pick a niche that seem like it has good keyword volume, and isn't too competitive... or that you can beat out the competition.

3. Is it a good idea to spend this money on cpa offers?

Yes, I prefer CPA offers over ClickBank / JV most times.

If you decide to use organic traffic for CPA offers make sure to GEO redirect them otherwise you will be losing out on potential money.

Very informative comments ... Thanks for the post..
