$70K in credit card space - what next?

[Jon12345]

If you had $70K in space on your credit cards, how would you turn that into profit as soon as possible using arbi or affiliate programs, using PPC? What steps would you take? Where would you spend your time? Where would most of your money go initially? Into something that would autogenerate an affiliate landing page? A team of article writers? An advanced tracking system? Or just throw some pages up yourself, see what sticks and then hire a team for rapid expansion?

I am talking about a pretty much guaranteed return here, not something that you invest say $20K of it and then hope you will get something back in 3 months time. I mean you start investing, see a rapid return after a few days so you know you will not lose money. I appreciate potential cash flow problems with a big PPC spend, but sometimes you can get quick payment from your merchant to help.

So, what would you do, knowing what you know now?

I got space but how do I spend it wisely?

Thanks,

Jon

Jon - the answer to this question is tough. Nobody can answer it for you because we don't know your experiences in this business. If you are new, start with ppc arbitrage, much easier than affiliate marketing. Build up to about 50 campaigns that are turning a profit. Should take you a month. After that, start with a few affiliate ppc tests. You are going to loose money at affiliate marketing before you start making money. That is just paying your dues to the aff god! Now you have 50 pages of arbitrage making you money, you now have your aff budget.
Arbitrage also helps you learn how to run a ppc campaign.
Now if you already do both and are making a profit, why the quetion? just do more at higher spends!

I've been doing PPC for several years. Used to enjoy the Adwords to Adsense landing page stuff a couple of years back. The first week I started doing that, I made $1,500 profit. But it was short lived. Google smart pricing and then the landing page quality score wrecked my business. So yes, have lots of PPC experience. Used Adwords, Yahoo Search Marketing, MSN Adcenter and now 7search.

Done some ringtones landing pages and made a little money there. But its so difficult to know where to spend my time. And tracking everything, with lots of sites and PPC vendors is making things increasingly complex. Difficult to stay on top of it all!!

i just took a few grand and paid some kids to wait on line for 10 ps3's when they are released.
i will double or triple my cash in a week's time!

clingle's right, don't dump all that money in at first, no reason to.
fine tune some things that are working well in arbi & aff, then go full speed with em.
a big budget will allow you to spend more money on paying to get more traffic to your sites, but you'd want to make sure you can convert it for a good payout first!

I hope you can trust them... Otherwise you're going to be $6k+ out of pocket. :1orglaugh:
