Spent $4.30 to make £519.87

37 replies
I am very new to the warrior forum but joined to try and improve my knowledge and hopefully come up with some new ideas.

The knowledge found within this forum is amazing and so are it's members.

I just wanted to share something with the newbies who believe they can't get their feet wet in paid traffic.

Last night i set up a CPM camaign with a daily budget of $100; advertising a product which is converting extremely well for me at the moment.

The product sells for £39.99 and my CPM cost was $0.10

When i woke up this morning i had only had 42,898 views but from which i had 388 clicks and 13 conversions

My total spend was close to $4.30 and i made £519.87

Now to some internet markerters this is not a lot of money however it's the best ROI i have ever had, i am not posting this to boast or because i have a new WSO coming out.

I just wanted to show to some newbie marketers that you can make big money with very little invesment.

Please note that i have been promoting this product for 4-5 months so i have a lot of experience on who to promote it too.

I also created my own sales page and spent over $200 creating it. (because i outsource almost everything now)

I also researched the niche a long time before entering it, i want to know everything about the what type of people buy this product all the way down to what colour socks that wear.

However the point of this post is TAKE ACTION and do not be scared of defeat because i believe you can't lose as long as you keep trying and TAKING ACTION.

If you have found a product which you believe will convert well but only have $50 to invest, then why are you not investing it?? Set your budgets really low maybe $2-$5 per day, do your homework on what works in the niche you are promoting and what doesn't. Find out which pictures work best and what age group is most likely to buy.

Do not be scared to spend 10 hours researching before setting up a campaign as there is no reason for you to rush.

If i told you that if you spend 40 hours a week working at Mc donalds for a month whilst learning the basics of paid traffic and you could potentially start to earn $40-$50 a day on autopilot would you do it?

Of course you would so why aren't you?

If you haven't got money and you need to pay the bills then work!
If you have money for an idea you believe will work then try it!

Like my mum would always say "you don't know until you try"

So take action now! not in 5 minutes, not in an hour and certainly not tommorrow! Now means NOW

    Congrats Lee

    This was not a bad investment for you. And, maybe, it is an inspiration for you to carry on what you start. And it can be a motivation for other beginners who are hesitating on taking action, too.

    Wishing you further successes,

    thank you for all your replies

    "Sandor Verebi" yeah i intend to carry on this campaign and try to scale it.

    I didn't want to give too much information away because it would create more competition. I started this thread to hopefully inspire others to take action now, it doesn't matter what resources you have or how much you have to invest. There are no excuses

    thank you "mnoonan" for your kind reply.

    That is an exceptional ROI, in fact I've never seen a ROI like that anywhere, ever!

    That kind of ROI is unheard of.

    Amazing!!

    Where did you get 388 clicks for $4.30??

    Also, did you advertise straight with an affiliate link, or did you lead them to your site with an affiliate link on it?

    Sounds like a great ROI buddy! - Im guessing you used facebook to leverage the sheer amount of targeting that they offer?

    Just goes to show if you put in ALOT of research, know what your looking for and take it there, its gotta be a moneymaker surely!

    Congratulations!

    I think he used CPV to advertise his product...because he said "i had only had 42,898 views". Well that is what I think, I might be wrong...

    I sent the traffic to a presale page which contains video testimonials saying how great the product is, etc etc which then leads them to my affiliate link.

    I don't want to disclose the offer or network i used as all it will do is flood the competition.

    The whole point of the post was not to boast or pre sell some WSO.

    But to share with everyone that you can get amazing results with very little investment.

    I should have stated in my orgional post that i have spent a lot of money with paid traffic (because i never used to research properly) I have had campaigns lose me thousands because i was ignorant enough to think it was easy.

    I was going to post proof and then realised it will show either the network i am using or the offer i am promoting so either way i couldn't Lol

    p.s. This campaign has got the highest ROI i have had in all the years i have been using CPM and PPC which doesn't make it the ordinary, however you can still do well from a small invesment.

    Good luck and thank you to everyone for your kind words.

    Hey Bro,

    No need to share your niche or your product or whatever, but just tell us if you use PPC or CPV or Media buys, I dont think this will hurt your campaign!

      Hi yeah no worrys

      I used CPM (cost per thousands views) They work in the same principle as CPC but obviously you pay per 1,000 views instead. My campaign is also highly targeted which is why the ROI was so good.

      Like i said i have been working in this niche with this product for 4-5 months which is why i now know a lot about it and who to target the product too.

      I tried this with facebook ads and it failed miserably, so just so everyone is aware i didn't use facebook ads.

      But don't get me wrong facebook ads can work out amazing put personally i have found CPC with them to work a lot better.

    I'm sorry if I missed it, but which CPM network did you use? I tried CPM once and ended up losing a lot of money in comparison to CPC.

    It would be great if I could see some place where I can start strong with CPM again, Adwords is getting too strict and I am tired of making FB pages for FB ads.

      CPM = Cost Per Thousand Impressions (I.E You pay a fixed fee when your ad is shown 1,000 times - regardless of how many clicks you get)

    Hey Man,

    First off congratulations, but a tip for you would be seriously to create a low ticket wso case study of this campaign when it dries up a little and run them through the basics of paid traffic, it's a really hot topic now and your tittle from this thread would be perfect for your WSO, think it over i can see it being a real success

    Hope this helps and congratulations,

    Danny

      Well done chap!

      Thanks also for sharing the fact you're using CPV.

      For all those saying to produce a WSO on how you did it, ignore them. You'll make far more money with that ROI than you will selling it here (consider it for the future though...), also people here need to work out for themselves what works best for them.

      With respect, what you're doing isn't new, you are however doing it well, that is what anyone wanting a WSO needs to know.

      That's a remarkable ROI, pat yourself on the back my friend.

        Thanks for your kind response,

        This is the exact reason i do not really create WSO as it's only a short term profit which could destroy all my campaigns, I do however like to help out as i stated in the post before this. So i may create a free brief WSO if i can ever get the time to do so.

        All the best,

          It may not necessarily be a short term profit but I think really going out there and being successful, then perhaps releasing a WSO would be better advised. I think you should focus on what you're doing now most, it's clearly working.

          I also think, the fact you're doing this to help newbies and not as blatant self promotion, is commendable.

          People will notice you more for helping on this forum, than trying to further enhance your wallet.

    Hi dan

    thanks for your reply, the problem i have is finding time. I run so many websites at the moment it's crazy. Even though i outsource most of my work keeping an eye on everything and making sure everyone is doing their job takes up my whole day, let alone replying to all the emails.

    As soon as i get time i may create a WSO, however i would not have time to deal with the sales etc so i'll most likely list it for free.

    all the best
