Wondering How I'm Starting Off

    Just wondering what the norm is for starting off on affiliate sales...

    I started affiliate marketing about 5 days ago (yes total noob to it), and my account has $230 in it. I've only been doing 1 thing pretty much, and I have 2 landing pages for it.

    What did you make when you started?

    It's hard to say. If you spent $1,000 to make that $230 it's not so good. This game is all about the net, not the gross.

    Are you actively 'promoting' the affiliate offers, or are you just placing the ads on existing websites to be shown to existing traffic?

    I'd be happy with returns like that. What are you promoting?

    So you're spending $ to drive directly to azoogle ads? This is kind of new to me, I only have experience placing adsense ads on my regular sites

    This is nice ROI.

    So good must be also your landing sites. :)

    You're doing good, now scale out your volume (not necessarily raising your cost per click) by getting more keywords. That's about all there is to it.

    Thats great! I actually never thought of that. On adwords you can advertise and buy keywords for your landing page lol.
