Same as title, What kind of budget do you need to get started in Adwords? I plan on promoting various niches

It depends on the niche, but you definitely need a solid budget to earn decent money. You can easily test with $20 - 50, and scale up if you see potential.

Once you find your ROI, you'll be able go gauge the necessary budget more. If you are only making $1.10 for every $1 you put in you are going to need a drastically larger budget then a campaign at 200 or 300%.

Thanks Kyle, good answer.

Teh bigger the better really. I think you can test for as low as $15 if you are using the content network, but some niches that's just not possible.

I know adwords has a minimum of $10 so I suppose you could start that low. I look down this add and I see you talking about 25-50. I guess I am just not finding these "niches" I have tried a few adds couple different niches gotten 75 clicks 200K views........No Sales. and $76 invested into adwords. I am about to cling tooth and nail and ride this till I get something. I would just insure that you know what is invested may not come back. So only invest what you can stand to lose. If you see potential go more.

As mentioned, it really depends on the niche you are trying to hit. I've done some PPC in the past and for the most part I would test my campaigns with what two leads would bring in. So, if the offer paid $10.50 I would start it out at $21/day and see how it goes. If you see conversions and start to profit BUMP IT UP

Hey, Luke. I see XY7.com's adds in every issue of Revenue I get. I have always thought about joining the program. Of course, in the affiliate space you get so bogged down with offers, it is hard to take time out to look at many of them.

To the original poster, I have found this true, no matter what people in the industry tell you, Google respects BIG spenders. Drop in the four figures, USE IT WISELY, and they will respect you.

DISCLAIMER: This is a BROAD analysis but holds true.
