    If you are loosing money with Adwords, try something else. You can make money with Clickbank, even without investing anything.

    Download my guide at www.clickbankbusinessguide.com

    It's quite useful for newbies.

    No, it takes time and testing before a campaign becomes profitable. It's actually very difficult to profit from PPC, and you need to invest quite a lot of money.

    I've made $124 in the last fifteen days and I feel like I'm just starting to get the hang of it all. It takes time (not as much as I thought) and persistence, but it does work. Should hopefully see my first Clickbank check in May!

    You can make money on CB just don't put all your eggs in one basket. Also a landing page is just about a must have if your doing PPC.

    One word of advice...go broad before going deep...

    good luck

    cheers,

    Wish you all a very good luck. I would say hard work will definitely send rewards sooner rather than later.

    If you make a sale a day then it's a good campaign from this point of view but you also should provide some data:

    How much are you making on a sale?
    How much are you spending to make a sale?
    How much is your CPC?
    How many clicks per day?
    Also do you use direct linking?

    one tip, find a product around $7 and put a link in your sig, sounds crazy but I made almost $200 over five months just with a sig link on dp. the product was about adwords and how to set up a killer campain, cost $7

    worth a shot, does'nt cost any money, - Don't forget your sig links :)

    I forgot: what is your Quality Score?how many keywords do you use?What is your CTR?

    If you make one sale a day, don't give up this campaign because it just needs some tweaking to make it profitable.Basicly you have a almost winning campaign in your hands, a campaign that delivers you 600$ a month.

    I am not a expert in PPC or anything like that but I can provide you some tips:
    -Using a good landing page could lower your CPC and could warm up the buyer, this method will also reduce the impact of the sales page
    -make your ads super relevant for the product that you are promoting and you could get lower costs and maybe more sales.Also it will increase the CTR.
    -Find out which keywords converts to sales!Drop the ones that don't convert. This is the key to stop wasting 30$ and you will get awesome results.
    -you could also try to promote another product which pays you more with the keywords that make you sales.
    -another method to reduce the costs is to see what are your buyers, to whom do you promote and make sales.After you establish these factors you will target you ads just to that country and you will set your ads to show at normal hours.Don't expect to make sales at 2 Am whatever your country is.

    For a quick math class:
    At this cost of CPC you should convert in 40 clicks to break even so you have several options that you could use:
    -either you drop keywords that just waste you money.(the recommended method)
    -either you slow lower your CPC below 0.3 to make a profit, and you could keep the same position(Depending on your Quality Score).


    Also after you make this campaign profitable you should test a bit YSM because you could pay less for Clicks and it could deliver some results.
