Welcome to Noobville. Population me.

So I've been accepted to 3 AM networks but am not sure where to go from here.

What is the "typical" route a noob should take?

Do I pick a promo then get a domain, build a site and get it hosted? If I build it ... will they come?

How many domains will I need or should I start with? Will I need to get a new domain everytime I want to promote something new?

On average ... how much money should I expect to spend to see some return. Are we looking at $10/day or $100/day?

I know everyone is different, but I just want a ballpark figure to aim for.
 


To get started which way? What you need to get into SEO vs. article marketing vs. PPC is different. For SEO, you'll probably need a lot of domains and new ones for everything you're promoting, but $10/day will be plenty. For PPC, you don't need much in the way of domains and such -- nobody's typing in your URL anyway -- but your costs per day will be much higher.

I'm trying both, personally. But I'm finding that at $75/day with PPC, I'm only breaking even, and getting enough data to optimize the campaign will take weeks. On the bright side, this isn't really $75/day loss (since I'm earning almost as much as I'm spending), but it does take cash since I spend every day but get paid every 15.

And if you're looking to get into PPC, I second the recommendation of NickyCakes.com's guide.
 
I have read through Nickycakes' guide a coulpe of times, that's how I have gotten this far.

I am leaning towards PPC because I'm not sure I have the time to mess around with building review sites or blog for SEO. And from what I've read on here the real money is in ppc.

I have tried to mess around with FB ads but they are bitch to get approved it seems. And even with PPC if your not direct-linking wouldn't you still need a few domains for your landing pages?
 
yeah, the real money is in ppc
but to make a thousand, you need to have a thousand to spend.

and PPC takes more time, as it needs to be monitored and its more of a risk
SEO on the other hand does take a while, but you can litterally throw up a few sites, and then you dont need to really touch them again.
 
I would read the Nicky Cakes newbie guide over 10-20 times and give it a day or two and do research then read it again. Like others said if you don't know what you are doing then don't try PPC until you know somewhat what you are doing. Starting off to optimize a campaign and get it profitable it could be anywhere from $150-$2,000 and in the end you may not ever be able to make it profitable because of the niche. You may want to start out in SEO if you have never done affiliate marketing before as it can save you some money and time. Even if you do 90% SEO and 10% PPC on the website it will help you learn some and not break the bank.

The typical route a noob takes is to jump into the biggest niche they can find and expect to be rolling in money by the end of the week.

Be realistic and pick something less competitive and you'll end up much less frustrated and much more successful.

You must have just signed up and not read a fucking thing if you thought that was cold blooded. Lurk a little. Read alot. Post your first post where you are suppose to......
 
Could you guys clarify "seo" for me a bit more? Are we talking about making a targeted page toward a product and using seo to drive traffic to it?
