How many products should you promote being new...

    I just started last friday and allready brought in 390 hits on 10 products...not a lot for you guys "making" k's each day...but I just got my first sale on Monday so I know it works...hope no one asks for a refund??? I need the cash to pay google...

    I figured that the more products I pushed the better it would be...but now that I am looking at how many products I am pushing I am wondering if I shoudl work one product at a time...get it up and running to where I can make a little cash on it...and then move on to the next one...

    I am learing PPC at a cost...but working the free advertising very hard...

    Any ideas...

    Don't promote to many products, because if you are new it will be difficult for you to control all the campaigns. So the best is to start with 1 or 2, and work with them. Then if both are good and optimized, try to add another one, but still keeping control of the old ones.

    What kind of things are you promoting?

    For example, if your making $1 a sale, and you only had 1 sale from 250 clicks, I would say do something else.

    But if your making $50+ a sale, and you had 1 sale from 250 clicks, I say keep going with it.

    I make 40 bucks but my bidding was to high so I eliminated six key words that were not as targeted as the others...so I think i might be able to get a better return...but I lost 10 dollars on my first sell...

    But if I make another sell at 300 clicks I will be ahead...me being new it is hard to know when something is not working and when something is...my problem is that was my first sell ever...

    Just trying to get a feel for how to do this...

    One guy told me that if I spend as much on advertising as I would on the amount I would make on the sell...then dump it...

    Another said I should be getting 1 sell for every 100...when i get better I might make 2-4 sells for every 100...

    Of course I am not doing either...so am I just blowing money...:confused:

    I'd start off easy and slowly increase
    your number of campaigns/products as
    you get more and more comfortable and
    skilled with PPC.

    Are you direct linking? or setting up lots
    of products onto one landing page?

    direct linking...I still dont know enough about landing pages...

    But I am writing a ton of articles...and have a blog that is drawing about 500-600 a day...I never advertise it or anything just post articles...

    But now that I am doing this I am starting to use it...I have spent the last couple of nights updating those articles to do click through...but I am averaging around .75 clicks per hundred people...so i am trying to get to 1-2 clicks per hundred...then i will start advertising the blog...

    but it takes a lot of work for few clicks...

    anyone want to tell me about landing pages or want to look at my blog and tell me if that will work for something?

    fitnessvillage.wordpress.com sorry I am a peon so no links

    I would personally concentrate with one product at a time, get that into profit and move onto the next. easier that way, i find.
