Hi everybody,

I am so happy because of my first profit. I started my online business as an affiliate a month ago. I tried many products, tactics, and affiliate programs with no success. I lose a lot of money on PPC.

I have read lots of e-books, DP forum’s threads (especially the sticky ones). I joined several affiliate programs. Most of them declined my applications; some other did not accept me at all.

BUT THE MIRACLE HAPPENS! I overcome the negative ROI and achieve constant positive ROI last week. Now there is $400 profit in my account! I so happy!

I just want to share my excitement and please…. Keep working and trying. The success in affiliate business is possible!

Nice milestone for - an early profitable week deserves credit. Posts like 's caution and 's realism are useful reminders: one payout proves a model can work, not that it will scale. The important signal is repeatable unit economics (profit per sale, conversion rate, and customer value) across multiple tests.

Recommended, repeatable process to move from a single win to a system:

  1. Define clear KPIs: Profit = Revenue - Cost and ROI% = (Profit / Cost) * 100; set target CPA and AOV.
  2. Pick one offer and build a single conversion-focused page that matches the traffic intent.
  3. Run small controlled traffic tests (3 creative variations, limited budget, fixed tracking tokens).
  4. Measure rigorously with unique tracking and analytics; treat every campaign as an experiment.
  5. Optimize the winner (headline, CTA, price presentation, trust signals) then scale slowly while watching CPA and ROI.

PPC losses mentioned by several members are common when tests lack tracking or when landing pages don’t match ad intent. Practical mitigations: tighten keyword selection and negatives, cap initial bids, run low-volume validation traffic, and use remarketing to improve yield. Follow ’s advice on trust signals: genuine testimonials, clear disclosure, and reputable outbound links reduce refunds and increase conversions.

For members like who have tried many networks with no success, a pivot toward content-first approaches can help: build review or comparison pages that target buyer-intent keywords, gather email addresses, and promote offers to warmed subscribers. Keep a simple lab notebook of tests, dates, traffic sources, CR, CPA, and ROI. Long-term assets and disciplined testing beat one-off hacks; focus on repeatability rather than a single lucky payout.

this sounds like the type of email I would receive to which I would press "report spam"

well, you can try ours :-) A single payout is more that $400 on CPD.

Congratulations for the success. . I would suggest not to adopt one SEO link building practice for longer period. Don’t make big claims while posting the content, try to convince the visitors by testimonials. Allow only the reputed links.

Congratulation!! I never made any success with affiliates programs even though i have joined them for many years. I have been affiliated with Commission Junction, Linkshare, Amazon, Clickbank, and Gambling affiliate none of them work for me.

I just cannot find the right way how to make real sales.
