Hey,
I only have a shoestring budget and i cant really afford to spend lots of money on traffic. Whats a good place for beginners to start buying traffic? Facebook is out of the question for now.. CPVlabs? TrafficVance? Any recommendations for a newbie?
What kind of budget? It's getting tough everywhere to not have a few hundred to work with in the beginning...
I'd prob go with pof, your able to laser target your campaigns to try get some low volume > high roi campaigns going. Personally I would go with facebook but you said that's out of the question
Honestly, you're going to lose money figuring everything out and testing campaigns.
I'd wait until I had $500 to $1,000 set aside that you're entirely fine losing through the learning process. I lost somewhere around $600 before I really got it working. You'll be able to build up quickly from there.
TrafficVance requires a minimum $1,000 initial deposit followed by deposited by $500 increments. If you can't afford to go with Facebook, you're most likely not going to be able to go with TV. Your best bet some have mentioned is put more money together. When starting a campaign, remember that the 1st stage is gathering useful date; in other words you are purchasing data. Using that data you'll put together a profitable campaign. If you have a low budget, you won't be capable of gathering useful data.
allthegold is right. you need a decent testing budget to make stuff really work.
$500 is about right, but some do it on $250 and others are profitable right from the start but there are only a handfull.
if you have time but insufficient cash, go and do some freelance article writing, link building, etc etc. Or if you have some experience of the online or offline money making / marketing write a WSO and use that to generate your starting capital.
Then start with low payout offers to build up your experience. I would recommend either dating on PoF, email/zip submits on Lead Impact or Gaming offers on Facebook.
Check out the 40 day guide as well.
The focus for 30 days and produce campaigns every single day! test test test, but make sure you cut offers quickly if they dont convert.
lack of funding isn't a problem if you really believe you can be successful doing this and are willing to commit the time and effort. I have that problem. I believe and am willing but haven't had the success right now. This is only my 2nd day on here so I'm still going through the site and plan on getting something up by the end of this week.
agreed with tijn, small budget means you going to not be able to gather the data you need. run some small campaigns that are very targetted and make high ROI on low volume. or look into some SEO and build up some organic traffic to some content sites. From the way you asked the question, i think you should def. read up a bit more on this industry since there are so many traffic sources (cpvlabs isnt one) and so many different types of traffic and offers.
