Newb here so I apologize for any protocol that I might be breaking. I DID read the post for new users. Not even worrying about my sig as yet as a result. :-) So, I'm relatively new to Affiliate Marketing and I'm wondering if I should call it quits. I started trying to promote just one product. Had a landing page and posted Bing ads to get traffic. I got sign ups but no sales. I tried to do Adwords and Facebook but promptly got banned by both. Now I know what I did wrong there and got both accounts unblocked.
Advice on what to tweak?

So, I'm relatively new to Affiliate Marketing and I'm wondering if I should call it quits. I started trying to promote just one product. Had a landing page and posted Bing ads to get traffic. I got sign ups but no sales. I tried to do Adwords and Facebook but promptly got banned by both. Now I know what I did wrong there and got both accounts unblocked.
Within the past few weeks, I decided to widen my circle and I picked out about 8 products in total from different niches and different prices to promote. I researched them all and they all were relatively new (within last 3 months), had click through rates over 10%, sales over 1k, and EPCs of $10-$20. I'm running Bing ads for them all. I have about half direct linking to the offers and half through a landing page where I get signups. For each, I have multiple ads in the campaigns so that I can A/B test the ad content. I even then create multiple landing pages and A/B test those by sending the same ads to different pages.
After a few months and spending perhaps $200 on ads, I've had traffic, signups, but no sales.
What's really disheartening to me is when I go to send a campaign to my list (about 100 subscribers currently) I get very small responses. Click through of about 2%.
Really, I'm looking for just any advice here. I try to eliminate possible problems by diversifying but it's just not leading to any sales. I don't know what area to spend time and money on: selecting offers, ad optimization, landing pages...? Has anyone else been in this place? If so, what 1 or 2 things did you do that broke through and got your first sales?
Please note, not looking for a course or private coaching. Just looking for a little friendly advice at this point as I'm not sure where else to ask!
Thanks,
Brian
