How much do you invest on media buying??????????? (7)
Hello folks I have been wondering:
OUT OF YOUR TOTAL REVENUE AND PROFIT, HOW MUCH DO YOU GUYS KEEP FOR PERSONAL EXPENSES AND HOW MUCH DO YOU KEEP INVESTING?
HOW DO YOU MANAGE YOUR PERSONAL FINANCES? DO YOU KEEP ONLY THE 10% OF YOUR EARNINGS AND REINVEST THE REST?
I AM TRYING TO MASTER THE MOBILE VERTICAL (GAMES AND APPS) SO I SIGNED UP TO STARTAPP, APPNEXT AND LEADBOLT AND DESICIVE, I GOT
THAT´S ALL FOR NOW .
THANKS IN ADVANCE

Hello frankz!
First of all : forget about Decisive, they are done.
Next : please don't try to format your posts, its hard to read 
As for the finances : it all depends on your results, really. When starting out, you shouldn't really spend anything from your profits. Actually, there won't be no profits at all at first, you will be loosing. Once you start to see profits, you should concentrate on building your cashflow and only spend the part you don't need.
Focus on how to make this work first, handling profits and spendings can come later on
But matuloo, where do you go get banners done and stuff? Thx

3. learn some photoshop and modify ripped banners yourself - this is the best choice in my opinion. Once you get some experience, you can make your own from scratch.
The same goes for the other "stuff" like LPs : hire, rip, modify ...
In case you are interested in my setup : I have all versions of adplexity spytool at my disposal and I also employ a coder and designer, so these guys take care of it for me.
You should clearly separate "personal" money from business capital.
Asking how much people cashout before making any money is absolutely the wrong mindset. Affiliate marketing, and any business for that matter, is not gambling where you quit while you are ahead. It's all about accumulating capital, so you should reinvest as much as you can.
Maybe you don't reinvest all into media buying, maybe you start expanding into something else.
All these random percentages (10% of winnings, 30% spent on rent, etc) matter for nothing, since everyone has different financial needs and wants, and everyone has different earning capabilities.
There are plenty of "how much" questions on the forum: how much time, how much money, how much work, etc. The answer is always: as much as possible! The way to maximize your results and chances of success is to maximize the resources you put into that. Anything less than maximum lowers the chances. You can certainly reach a point of diminishing returns, but that point is different for each individual.
