Hi, I'm newbie and started working as affiliates with google ads for more than 6 months. Start with clean niche projects.
I have searched and tested many projects, spent a lot of money to run ads but did not earn any money.
Out of money I have to find a way to run ads with google threshold. But unfortunately for me, no one sells google reputation anymore.
I switched to learning about crypto and forex, casino niches. But it's hard to create a campaign using Google Ads, when I only know Google Ads.
Now I only have a small amount of capital left, and plan to look for clean affiliates projects that allow running cpc, and reputable payments. Please give me advice.
Thank you !

Thank you !
sorry to hear about that , wish you good luck
 
Can you look back and understand what have gone wrong? Was is your keyword research, campaign setup, product conversion rate?

If you're out of money, buying a threshold account won't help you, either. You need to learn about Google Ads, even through YouTube.
 
Analyse what went wrong first - you can make the same mistakes with any offer, crypto or not.

Thanks you, my problem is that the affiliate niche is too large, I don't know which projects have high conversion rates, which are reputable paying projects. And I have to test each project a few dozen dollars to know the results. That amount is usually lost. Regarding the ad campaigns there is no problem because I found them on similarwebpro.
Regarding crypto, maybe I run ads at the wrong time, with only a little hope of payback when the market was uptrend.
I have not had a chance to run google ads threshold and casino camp.

Too large is good - it means it has too large demand as well. Find what you like first, it looks lie this is the only issue in your case.

The only thing in common between all of your tests is your setup.

I wouldn't rely on it too much. Tools can guestimate, but they very rarely get it right.
They can't know the match type of an ad, the bidding strategy or the bids.

It's enough to accidently run on broad match without negatives on maximize clicks to burn $5K in a day, let alone 6 months.

No i mean total 5k in 6 month. I only run exact match keywords, and brand name key only.

so you think run google ads to sell affiliate marketing products it's a waste of money? btw what kind of affiliate products did you try to sell?. what category of products?

Find something you like, work on it consistently, and don't switch from one thing to another.
Telling this from personal experience of running ads for 5 years going into 6 into the same thing. It works.

+ Yes, waste money. Every affiliate products, every category need rund ads and test first. If you have good projects to run ads with, you will not share for anyone right, so i'm alone and i dont know which products, wich category is good. I test all and waste money. Some project need run brand name keywords, anh they reject my earning too.

Yes, will learning more. My problem now is to find an affiliate program that can run ads and have a small profit to maintain for life and learning.

I have the same history as you but with Facebook ads. waste $3000 in ads and eaned only $200 in affiliate sales. so frustrating....
Why you didn't tried paid ads from other networks like instagram, Pinterest, push ads, twitter, native ads, reddit?
 
Did you end up learning, and collecting data? Made at least a few leads or sales here and there?

Shouldn't say lost if this is the case, You paid for education but next time don't rush into things.

A good example would be starting with low-priced offers, you get much more data and experience for your money.
 
Now I only have a small amount of capital left, and plan to look for clean affiliates projects that allow running cpc, and reputable payments. Please give me advice.
Thank you !
Find or continue a regular job.....have a nice dinner with the capital left.....study crypto/forex trading more....
 
- Don't look at those affiliate sites they are highly contested. Maybe you can try and find real value services and products and contact companies directly.
- It is easier to stay motivated when a product or service is something you are passionate about.
- Crypto, forex, and casinos are probably another rabbit hole where they promise a lot and you are the one losing money.
