How long before one should start make profits?

Hi girls & guys,

I want to share with you something that I'am thinking about while I'am working on CPA, since I'am newbie who working hard with full time & put my money on tools (spying, tracking, VPS, VPN,traffic..) & campaigns, of course without profits since I'am still new so till now loosing is normal for me & very expected.

But I want to ask you from your expertise how long before one should start make profits? & if you can tell us how long before you make success?

Thank you

The answer to this question varies but you have until right before you run out of money to make it work.

There is no exact time that it takes to achieve success.

My first attempt was unsuccessful ie. I didn't have enough money and courage and I started in a vertical that was highly competitive (adult).

(from my current point of view I was actually successful, had green campaigns, I just don't know how to handle it all, as I was a total newbie)

With my second attempt I started with app installs, I had the money and determination that I want to succeed and I did.

It took about 1 to 2 months.

If you will try hard and really focus on what you are doing, sooner or later it will hit you.

Good luck.

There is no answer to this question, unfortunately. Just as Erik told you, some people need more than one attempt, some win at the first try, some never make it ... it took me several months to start seeing stable profits for example. I don't remember exactly, but it was around 3/4 of a year.

Most people, who make it, require somewhere between 3-12 months. Big time frame, I know, but that's about as exact as I can be

Of course some people just have good intuition and do well with their first campaign. But they are few and far between.

Make sure you have a side job to fund yourself because aff marketing might take awhile before it funds you.

If you want to shorten the time then you need to test more offers faster i.e. consistently testing 5 new offers per day will get there much faster than the person testing 5 new offers per week.

Depends how much profit you want to make and what you consider success. What if it took you 1 year to make your first $1k profit, but then the next 6 months you make $500k? Would you continue after that first year? Or give up in the first 6 months (during which you could work full time and not make a single $ in profit).

Newbies look at it the wrong way. There's no dollar amount or time required to be profitable. And profitable could mean $10 a day or $10000 a day. Both are possible with aff marketing. It comes down to what you want and what you will sacrifice to get it. Regardless of how much time or money it takes.

You're new, focus on learning. It may take a while but there will finally be a point where all your hard work pays off. Don't limit yourself by time or budget.
