How Much Do You Spend When Starting a Campaign?

[darbsllim]

Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but if I'm not making money after $100 I pull it down

for me $100 seems reasonable.... i check keywords though to make sure i didn't mess up keywords...

if i break even.. i keep going w/ testing my campaign

100, but I monitor it to see if I'm making sales. If I'm not I won't let it spend the entire 100

Actually, he doesn't.

If it takes a guy $5 Grand to just get the feel of things and break even then he needs to get out of affiliate marketing.

I Agree

Actually, he doesn't.

I agree, some campaigns can take some spending to get them started.

I am not yet completely into it but I made profit without spending anything last month. The profit was only 75$ however.
Anyway, it depends. A bit of skill, a bit of luck also I guess.

You obviously have to spend some kind of amount before starting a new campaign, It really depends on how many keywords and adgroups you have, coupled with how much split testing your doing.

If its a simple campaign it should take no more than a couple hundred dollars to find out if its going to be profitable or not. Competitive niches can hemorrhage shitloads in a short space of time.
