    was it profitable?

    If you spent less than you made, keep doing what you're doing.

    Look for more ways to get traffic and scale up with more traffic.

      Well to get that 1 sale, it cost be about $25. I made about $31 on clickbank.

      By keep doing what you're doing, do you mean to keep running the campaign on 7search? How long do I have to do that before I make a squeeze page and start building a list?

      Well I'm far from an expert, I just got lucky.
      What I did was pick a clickbank product, promote it through 7search and voila. 1 Sale.

      Hope that there is no refund or charge back from PayPal and hope clickbank don't close your account for direct linking an affiliate offer from the paid ad

        Why would they do that? Is direct linking not supposed to be allowed?

    You should set up at least 2 lead capture pages for that offer, and start split testing and building your list. Optimize your campaign by getting rid of keywords that are not converting. You have a product that converts, so you're off to a good start.

    Problem is that you lost alot of potential future sales by not getting those people on your list first. However, it's not the end of the world. All you have to do basically is set up a lead capture page, after they opt in....you can either send them directly to the offer/sales page or you can send them to a thank you page the gives a brief review of the offer and have them clickthough to the sales page.

    You have to test to see which converts better, test test test is the key to big success.

      Well only 1 of my keywords has converted. Does that mean I should have only 1 keyword?

        Wow, only 1 keyword???? Well, to keep from complicating things, stick with that one keyword and drive all the traffic to a capture page. You can use a service like leadpages.com or ezleadcapture.com, they make it pretty simple to set one up. Their are many services out there you can use without have to buy a separate domain and hosting, but don't go telling everybody.;-)

          Congratulations on your sale!

          see if you can scale it by replicating the
          campaign with other networks.

          Building a list is recommended, but if it makes
          you money as is then keep doing it.

          Ok I'm looking at EZLeadCapture, would the Lite version include hosting and a domain?

      How exactly do I create a landing page? Do I have to find a host/purchase a domain...etc?

          You need an autoresponder account. Aweber is what I use.

          You can create a landing page that converts using Aweber.
          Can you further explain? For example, what would be the URL of my landing page? Autoresponder is only for email lists isn't it?

            You can create "landing pages" with Aweber. Aweber hosts the form and you get the URL from the "publish your form" page.

            They are just opt-in pages but I have used them to build lists off FB and they work great. You can do a lot with them design wise.

            Get people to opt-in with a freebie and then promote your affiliate offer to them via follow-up emails. This allows you to market to them more then once, increasing your chances of a sale.

              Thank You so much. Now that makes much more sense.
              So the Aweber opt-in form has its own url that I can promote through 7search or other ad networks?

    Congratulations on your sale!

    You should test some other networks and test it with Media buys also to scale it up.

    Carefully research split testing and apply what you have learned to your campaign
    It is a simple concept, yet important

      cheers
      Thank You. I was just about to give up too but this gave me hope.

    Yes. The URL will look something like forms.aweber.com/uniqueformnumber.

    On FB the display URL is forms.aweber.com
