Okay so I bought my domain name, landing page, articles, host, ran the campaign, etc. And it failed. The offer was just no good and no matter how much money or changes I threw at it, it just wasn't working. So now what? Did I really just waste all that money on nothing? What happens to my domain name, landing page, and time consuming articles that I wrote? Get lost in my computer files and are never to be seen again? I cant afford this industry! Help!
Lost Cause?

I'm sorry but you sound like a pussy.
Man up, rinse and repeat. Just like starting a business, this internet shit ain't for everybody.
Some people are just meant for a regular 9-5, not that there's anything bad about that.
Go to school, get a 4.0 GPA, become a surgeon.

Thank You for all your kind helpful comments :dripping with sarcasm: But seriously, what do I do with all the domain name, page, articles etc? Really just throw them away? they have to be worth something.
There are not much things you can do with this stuff... Move on.. Make another campaign... If you dont have money get a job, put some money aside for internet marketing and invest... If you dont want to get a job go and vrite some articles and sell them, go to fiverr and make few gigs to make some money for domains and for hosting...
Good luck!
Does anyone know about, on average how many campaigns does the average joe need to do until he finds his golden niche? There is obviously a lot of factors involved, but how long did it take for you guys?
I'll let you know when I get there.
A lot of people throw around 10:1. But the common theme is "Keep on Grinding". Perseverance and efficiency will eventually pay off.
You should see how much material from failed campaigns I have sitting around - and still not making any money. Whether you can resell the domain & articles is really up to you: do you want to spend some time posting them to flippa/craigslist etc.?
The money wasn't wasted, you used it to buy knowledge. Sit down and write down why you think the site didn't work, what was bad, what was good. Can you isolate whether it was a nonconverting offer, whether it was a bad traffic source or a bad landing page? If you don't know how to isolate these factors, start reading or send me a pm.
It ain't going to get better, and there is no shame in taking your skills elsewhere and applying them to something else that makes you money. You could also learn how to get the same lessons for less money (ie. how to tell if your offer is crap by spending $100 instead of $2000).

But seriously, if you've given up on it, input the content into WP and flip it or collect the adsense monies.
EDIT: What zany said. Only go this route if it's worth your time.
Yeah what they said.
I have tons of domains and sites that have failed and I keep them around just incase I may want to use them again in the future. At the very least, i learned a shit ton by building them up, trying to optimize, going through data etc.
I look back at a lot of my early failures and laugh about how dumb they were and how to improve on them. I would never realize all of this unless I failed at them.
Learn by failing. Good luck bro.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained ! If at first you don't succeed then suck harder till you do suck seed. 
What did you learn from it? Why did it fail? If you understand that question then you can go out of it saying that you learned something that you can apply to your next venture. Honestly, I recommend never throwing in anymore money than you can afford to lose. It sounds to me like you threw everything you had at it and it didn't work out. Don't worry though, people do this on occasion and can bounce back.
Seriously, everyone fails sometimes. About half of the ventures I have done has failed, just to be honest.

Most of my ventures have failed, but the ones that didn't paid off in a seriously massive way. Like everyone said, learn what you can from this. Being able to come up with a strategy is a valuable skill, being able to see the flaws in it is what actually matters.
