so i got a pretty nice forum going called http://fitnessforumclub.com/ and i have just been using facebook, to get people to my site... well it has grown a little but has been quite slow, and i think its ready for google.... i dont have much money to spend of ads.. maybe 10-30 dollars a month.. so what is my best bet?
Blimey -someone didn't answer your post in 9 minutes and you start bumping? You've got serious issues with lack of patience - not to say an inability to read forum rules - bumping is strictly forbidden. As to your original question -that budget is just too small. A dollar a day? You could use that up in one click. This is a situation where finding a voucher for new users would be of benefit to you - sign up to a cheap hosting package, get a $75 voucher and use it to try out adwords - see if it's going to be of any value to you - you'll never find that out on $10 EDIT - just looked at your other post - if you're doing this for arbitrage - hoping to make money from adsense clicks from your adwords traffic - forget it. It's against Google ToS, and is unworkable as a business model. You will always pay more in adwords than you can make from adsense - Google deliberately weights it so that is the case.
I spend hundreds a week and the result is still poor. Even though my CTRs are high and the niche is not in the top competitive ones. Forget it with this budget.
Do not go to adwords because you hear people are making money on it. Before you try adwords, do the following: 1. investigate the competitiveness of your niche. How many people are running adwords campaign for the same niche? 2. are the people willing to buy? 3. How many people buy in 100 clicks? 4. How much will you earn per sale? For instance, if only 2 people will buy from 100 clicks and the cost per click is $5. That means you will spend $5x100=$500. If you are promoting a clickbank product, the commission is usually $40. So you will earn $80 in every 100 clicks of adwords campaign. If you are promoting CPA, the commission may be up to $100 per sale and you will earn $200 from every 100 clicks. Try to do your research before going into google adwords. Many people will show you there clickbank earnings without telling you how much they spent on google adwords before they could earn that kind of money. Do not believe everything you hear or see.
don`t worry to start adwords you need to pay just $5. pay a lump sum of 30 and try to play with that there are tens of different guides on internet how to start campaign btw adwords is quite user friendly so you should be fine
adwords can suck money faster than anything if you are not good at it.it will be better to try article marketing.
Yeah, your money really can disappear quickly if you're not sure about what you're doing. As previously mentioned, you can often find a promotion to give you a certain dollar amount of adwords spending. If you find one, do some careful research and try out your plan.
First of all, you haven't answered the most important question: What do people get out of your site? All it is now is a forum script with a fancy logo that anyone could create and put on their website. In other words - when a visitor sees your sight -> First thought = "No Value!". So it's like driving customers to an empty store. Solution If you know a lot about fitness etc. put articles, videos, tips etc that people can access. Then they would be interested in your sight because they get something from it. Secondly... How are you going to make your money back? If you are spending money you have to have a way of getting it back. People like to post on forums when they see there is a lot of other people there. So an empty forum is not very attractive. Solution: Revise your business model. Decide what you REALLY want to get out of this. Start from there and then find out what your site visitors REALLY want to get out of this that gets you what you want. Give yourself a minute to digest that
Oh and by the way - don't even try Adwords until you at least understand the basics of what you are doing. Or you will lose your money. It's better for you to learn for example from the Google Adwords Learning Centre. Otherwise get a pro to help you set up and manage your campaign.
Honestly it'll take few months to just learn adwords well.The fact is that the only way to learn adwords is using it by spending money.But with your budget of $1 a day you neither can experiment to learn adwords well nor you can expect to profit from it.As someone said earlier you should try to find some adwords promo codes and start with them.
