My first $160 in CPA Bing Ads

As long as the traffic is made up of real people, there will always be money to be made.

Congrats on your earnings.

This is your gold mine. Mine the gold as much as possible before other people discover it.

Definitely doesn't feel like much of one at the moment, but again I believe that patience and persistence is the key. Fingers crossed.. that I'm right about that, but who knows. Only time will tell. Thank you for your encouragement though. I appreciate it.

Latest update:
Focus is more on the Amazon side "at the moment".
Why ?
Because the site is going to take a while to get going I'm sure... seems that way for anything organically.

It was started back in December.. it's only been LIVE for less than 2 months and earnings are sporadic.. I might get 1-4 sales one day and then not see anything for another 3 or 4 days.

While that detail is a little discouraging, the upside is that when it does get going organically, I won't have to rely on PPC so it'll all be profit from there.
The other upside is that I'm still making sales and it's just getting started.

The site has over 1800 products so far and my first benchmark goal is to get to 2500 products, then I'll work towards 5000 products.
That seems lightyears away right now, but I'm hoping to get to 5000 in the next 6 months. We shall see.
10K products by the end of next year is my long term goal.

The site started because of the mistake I made direct linking.
Amazon has indeed paid out half of my earnings so far (just received a deposit yesterday) woohoo.. thank the Lord they didn't revoke the account or earnings !

Note: I have still not added the site to my list of approved sites in my Amazon dashboard, but that is coming.

I needed to make sure, privacy page disclaimer, setting up social media channels, adding that I am an affiliate for Amazon and changing all product links to reflect that visitors will be purchasing through Amazon were all added.. (in addition to a couple other projects I'm also investing time into).. again just more reasons why focus has been more on the website end (because it's taking a lot of time).

CPA is still running, but no new news on that front.

For those that don't think that Bing is worth it.. hmmm... I'd seriously question that. I have a new campaign running. CPA payout is $80 and I made my first $160 today. For those that don't think it's achievable or that Bing isn't worth it.. you couldn't be more wrong.

Campaign not even running a full 48 hours. Budget was $50 yesterday and another $100 today, but considering the traffic and the scalability of this product, I'm hopeful that there is a lot more money to be made so with some tweaks to the campaign by digging into the data I think will lead to a better ROI but in my mind it's encouraging to have achieved that in less than 2 days. CTR is amazing.. over 10% the first day and just under 7% today.

This might not sound like a big deal to some but for those that have been working on making any money online for a while.. let this be a little encouragement that CPA works and my method is Bing ads PPC.

Note: I've only been doing PPC for just over 3.5 weeks.

Initially it was to just share that I had made some money but it's evolved since then.

Thank you. Are you experimenting with Bing as well ?

Update 2/4/21
CPA has still been a bit disappointing. However, as of this morning before 9am the new site generated 22 new orders from Amazon. We'll see if this is a one day fluke or not. I'm not sure.

I feel like the site has been sandboxed in Google at this point since even though I have now surpassed my benchmark goal of 2500 products (yes I've been grinding it out ya'll) I'm still struggling to get rankings which leads me to believe strongly that Google doesn't trust the site yet, but once it does hopefully the gates will open allowing some of the product pages to actually rank where they can be seen.

Hoping to see the new trend of orders continue throughout the day today and later on this week as well, but we'll see since the last 4 days have been doughnut holes. Thought this might be a little bit of inspiration for that are working hard and not seeing results yet. Just keep at it !

If I can get some rankings, I may add a section for CPA so I don't have to keep spending on ads through Bing. Still an idea in the works but we'll see how things turn out with the site I'm still developing.

it's all just a scam really lol. you get so excited when you make a little bit of money, but then realize it's an unstable shit hole cause the next day the algo fucks you out of your budget and gives 0 conversions haha. it's a shit show, that's why i stopped using these shitty paid ad platforms lol fuck them

Just to add on to my update: CPA has still been a bit disappointing, but of course it could be that way for any number of reasons. Sticking to the mindset of needing to tweak what's going on there, but there's only so much time in the day and given what I'm trying to do with the new site, it's not at the forefront of what I'm working on at the moment anyway if I'm being honest.

As for your comment @Br Stoner, thanks for your reply and we have to share around here to help everyone stay realistic. If you keep working at it success is going to come. I trust that faithfully.

@MisterF Could you do me a favor and close this thread. I don't plan to be contributing anything else to it and I've moved on to addressing what I'm doing with Amazon through a different thread. Thank you
