I know, big deal right? Well I have half heartedly been trying for 3 years and finally hit that mark. Today was only $88 though. Mind you I am using PPC or is it CPC (noob). Would it be recommended to pursue some other campaigns and try to hit this target in a similar manner on another campaign, or maybe throw more money and tweak current keywords with the one that is starting to work out. I.e. higher bid prices? The product has a high gravity, and I am spending hardly anything at the moment, which I see as a good thing. I'm still in the hole from my previous weeks research, and I am scared of returns and refunds, but digging the fact I see a little light. Thanks to this forum for at least keeping me trying here and there.

Congrats! Keep it up and that light at the end of the tunnel will eventually blindside you when you least expect it.

I have not. I have not even investigated it. I will look into it though, as they are creepily accurate with "what you might like" situations.

Congrats on your earnings. I'd try to continue your current campaign, once you've learned a lot from from, move on to something possibly bigger.

PPC is always about testing, tweaking, improving. You can't just set and forget and hope that money keeps flowing forever.
What's your ROI?

Don't move on to another network before you master the one you're at. This won't be good for you as you'll have a much higher chance of losing money.

Most definitely still in the negative. I still am definitely feeling this out, my first week I wasted a decent amount of money. I think I am in the hole for about $100 so far after sales and campaign costs. Went into it saying it's an experiment in how to lose xxx amount of dollars. In some ways I wish my first campaign completely failed and I would have stopped, now I am in for at least $600.00 total investment.

Just trying to figure out in what way I want to scale up though. I guess for now I will focus on the one making some money, until I am at break even and recoup my first weeks losses.

If you are using a PPC service, consider list building so you can capture leads. Then offer CB products to the leads.

Bing , but have paused the campaign. Started going down hill after a couple lucky days. Need to reevaluate the situation.

Are you using tracking? E.g. prosper (free)

Which countries are you targeting? - usually it is a good idea to start with US, UK and Canada (and expand later).

I'll look into Prosper, so you can use that with direct linking? Didn't see on their site if it works like that. I am targeting US and Canada. I have restarted a couple campaigns in a different manner as to not cost me so much money.
