Trying again

[stadanko]

Hi guys,

I've been involved in marketing for about 1.5 years now. I've made the mistake of buying ebooks and trying multiple projects at the same time. By the way....I believe ebooks feed the brain and the ideas they present, whether rehashed or not, can be the building blocks of new ideas.

I played with arbitrage, ran an online store (dropshipping) and played with PPC. Had some good success with the retail store, but dealing with returns and such was a pain.

So now, I've cooled the jets. I've decided to pursue ppc affiliate marketing. But, before I can do ppc, I need an advertising budget. So I've adopted a technique to build up that budget. It's labor intensive (about 1 to 2 hours a day making repetitious keyboard/mouse movements), but I currently have $320 in CJ for about 2 weeks work.

I'm researching niches looking for somewhere to invest adwords dollars once I build the budget. Any suggestions would be appreciated. For example:

How big an ad budget should I build before I launch a campaign?
Any suggestions on niches to attack?
Am I approaching this with the right mindset?

Thanks folks.
