If you buy any traffic or advertising expecting your money back immediately you will be disappointed. You can get lucky, but it often takes time.

A few years ago, I spent about $95 on cheaper traffic through Juicy direct buys and didn't get a single cent of return. I then spent the remaining $5 of my deposit on 7 days advertising from a site with very cheap clicks, and forgot about it until my tracking system picked up a sale from it around a week after the advertising expired.

That single paying member made another purchase a few weeks later and since then has made over 180 purchases totalling well over $6k.

I advertised again with the same site a short while after, and went back to zero return again.

Point of this post (finally) is that buying traffic is always going to be hit and miss, and a lot depends on your advert catching the eye of the right person at the right time, and your landing page being able to convert him.
