Its not only about budget, its about your mentality.
Most likely this will happen: You put a few days of work into building landers, creatives etc. You will be quite confident that it will work to a certain extent.
Then you start running traffic and you'll loose money. You have a SOI offer, paying maybe $2, and your CPA is $20.
Now after a few days of running traffic you'll stop it because you lost a few hundred $, you dont know why it doesnt work and youre disappointed.
Now you only have $500 left and no idea what to do. This happens most of the time.
The problems are:
1) You have no experience but you try to tackle an ultra wide mass market with high competition.
2) You have basically no budget for paid ads. (Does it bother you if the 1k is gone? This is a small testing budget. It should not care u too much if its gone without any ROI).
3) You have absolutely zero "gut feeling" for the vertical. You just dont know what works.
What I suggest:
1) Pick a very nichy niche.
2) Build an income with automation or any organic approach.
3) If you make money consistently, try to scale your nichy niche with paid ads. (Bc now you have experience in the niche, you have consistent flow of money as well)
And btw, automation is the opposite of boring (I always thought this), check out the journey of this lucy sparks guy.
