Sorry if this is the wrong section, I looked around and this seemed like the place for basic questions.

I have $500 to start and I'm ready to test, but I don't know how to choose which offer to run. There are hundreds of offers across different verticals and I have no idea where to start.

Should I pick something with high payout and low volume, or lower payout but higher conversion rate?

My friend, start with a vertical you know something about. If you're into fitness, test nutra. If you're into dating, test dating offers.

Understanding the audience helps you write better creatives and landing pages.

I started with sweepstakes because they have huge payouts! It was scary but worked out

How much did you lose before it worked?

About $300 before I found a winning offer

Treat the $500 as tuition. Expect to lose it all learning what doesn't work. If you happen to find a winner, that's a bonus.
