What Would You Spend Your $500pm Budget On?

15 replies
Hey Warriors.

The other day I set aside a budget for traffic and I'm really undecided about which traffic channel to go with?

#1 Solos
#2 Facebook
#3 Banners right here in this awesome community

The traffic will be sent to squeeze page with offer behind it.

If funds where never ending I'd do all three but that's not the case so I'm looking to select ONE paid traffic method to focus on until I'm seeing a ROI

Thanks in advance!

    Hi Kerry.

    Solos are like a box of chocolates - you never know what you're going to get. Seriously unreliable but sometimes you have a win - expect up to $15 per new subscriber to your list if that's what you're going for. Have heard of a lot less also, but many list owners have very unresponsive lists.

    Facebook is good, it depends on what you're marketing though. Some marketing companies have had their squeeze pages banned, but expect leads for around $2.00

      What do you mean 15$ per subscriber do you mean it will cost her that amount to get 1 lead

    No answer can be given here except to test.

    Anyone who says one way or the other is just guessing.

    Test it and you will get your answer.

    i agree with will about the "test" principle... however, which traffic source has been
    giving you the best conversion?

    I would suggest to invest in that, carve out another $500 extra for traffic budget
    on top of what you have and then as Will said - test out another traffic source.

    I wouldn't want to put all my eggs in one basket - don't put 100% reliance on a
    single traffic source. Once you get your right chemistry, diversify your traffic
    and scale up. Never put more that 15% to 20% of your traffic from a single
    source.

    Scale up what currently works
    Improve conversions
    Get another $500 extra
    Test out other sources using that extra $500

    Good hunting.

    Best!

    Solo ads from good sellers and good sales funnel can help you to build a decent list very cheap.

    Sometimes even with a small profit.

    People keep asking about what method is best for this and for that. They will give you different answers. They have different experiences. You can never tell unless you try it out yourself. There's no sure answer. That's why the best answer you're going to get is to test them.

    There is no definite answer to this question as it is all about testing and dumping campaigns that lose money and scailing campaigns when they are profitable.

    I would not start out with more than $100 dollars in testing your campaign for whatever traffic source you will be using...

    I wish you luck in your campaign and hope you get a positive ROI!!

    In my opinion, solos are a great way to go. You can create leads for less than $1 and if you have a good sales funnel you could recoup the investment of the solo within a matter of days. Reinvest your earnings back into more solos to grow your list super fast.

      I would spend my money on building a high converting sales funnel before I thought about sending mass traffic to it.

      I would pay a professional to help me set everything up.
