If you had $100 to spend on your 1st campaign, what would you do?



buy a 100 bucks worth of pot, and figure out a way to make more than a 100 bucks to spend on learning paid media.

or maybe save that $100, dont blow it on pot, make another hundred, spend $200 on my first ad campaign?

$300?

$400?

how bout $400?
 
I don't think 100 dollars can make a lot of things. Instead you could go for FREE sources. For traffic use blogs, high PR blog comments, article submission, article syndication, Facebook, Twitter, etc. Hope this helps.

I didnt even realize there were unpaid/free sources of marketing. What about $300 + free marketing?
 
You should pocket that $100 and accumulate more money. Start researching what you need to get the ball rolling. Once you are more informed, and have more capital to spend, then you can pay (and expect to lose more then $100)....or you can bet $1 on 100 different underdog horses @ the track.
 
i would travel back to 2008 and copy one of the dozen double offer landers competing for the top spots in adwords. hustle a bit to get me on weeklies. a month later, id have 1k.

but its not 2008. its 2012. come back when you have an extra 1k a month to spend on this. and dont get pushed into "writing content" to "fund your ppc adventure". thats bull. you know what writing content pays? nothing. work night shift at the factory. collect 4k a month. use 2k for ppc and save 1k. do that for three months. if you still arent successful, youll have made 3k in savings and move on.
 
To be successful first you must treat this like a real business. What business you know start out with $100. Don't treat this like a get rich quick scheme. Like buddy said at the top of this post. If it was early 2008 than you would have turn that $100 to $1000 in a day. You unfortunately missed that train... So Save up some more buddy.
 
1. spy on ads x 10000 times.
2. Notice what's running on there consistently?
3. Figure out the demo.
4. Get the offer (or similar ones)
5. Launch 1 identical campaign & 1 campaign with your tweaks.
6. ???
7. Scale
8. Profit.
