The Challenges With Starting Into Media Buying
Affiliate Marketing – Media Buying
Ok so last week when I was getting back to work after my extended holiday I started developing my first Media Buying site. It was a bit tricky to do as the approach I took was to review sites that I saw through current ads on the sites I want to advertise on and then put my own little spin on it. While I was building this new site I was splitting my time with my current work load to get that back on track. Was a bit of a challenge to say the least to jungle both types of affiliate marketing.
After two days now of running my first media buying campaign, here are my results so far.
Monday
- Spend – $50.00
- Earnings – $41.00 ($9.00 Loss)
Last night after I saw this in my tracker, I decided to take a look at a few other sites again and make some changes. One problem I noticed was that my bid was to high for a new site. I lowered it and go a bit more traffic today to my site which proved to be worth the move.
Tuesday
- Spend – $50.00
- Earnings – &90.71 ($41.71 Profit)
So as you can see, the changes I made, made the campaign profitable for me today. I have once again lowered my bid (how much I pay per click) to see if tomorrow I can get a bit more traffic to the site.
My goal is to double everyday what I spend – 100 in and a 100 out type of thing, and I am just about there so maybe a bit more traffic would help that out.
The problem with bidding high in media buying is that you get a pile of clicks in a very short period so testing your site or optimizing it can be a bit of a challenge. Back in February when I first looked into media buying I went with a max bid on a 100 dollar spend and to my surprise that only allowed my ad to run for 10 minuets and then it was off. You can’t test shit all with ten minuets of traffic in my opinion.
So as you can see, my first challenge is to really learn how to bid right with a smaller budget. Once I get the site doubling my spend everyday, then I am going to dump more money into the campaign and see what that does – after!
I’ll keep you guys posted on that for sure!

Good to see you in profit. I have a small budget to try my hand at PPC. I have been making changes here and there on my landing pages, my ads, and bids. Seems to be very profitable once you get the hand of it.
ReplyJust curious, where are you buying media buys for $50?

Hey Colin,
You are quick off the mark here with making profit. Sometimes it takes a few weeks to get new projects in profit, that’s what I find anyway!
Cheers.
