What is your minimum ROI? - GoFuckYourself.com

What is the minimum amount you will take as a return before you walk away and do something else?

I constantly analyze my costs, profits, etc. at least once a week. However, hit a sad and depressing realization today. One of the sites I was promoting hard was returning an est. 200% last month (including rebills in 3 month time). Doing the math today, looks like it is about 125%. So for every $1 I spend, i get $1.25 back.

The thing that sucks is this is a 3 month average, not in 1 month. If this was a PPS instead of rev share, would be easier to decide.

Bascially, I spend $2,000 this month and in 3 months, I will have made $2,500 (or whatever 125% ratio you want to use). Im not in desperate need of the money, but I really dont see a profit unitl the 2nd month for rebills and so on. There isnt an unlimited amount I can make, so I cant dump in $50k; the ceiling is about $3,000 per month.

So... what is your minimum return before you walk away and look for something else? I know there are some people who will spend $10,000 to make $10,500 but not me.

well, if its over 3 months I expect at least 100%

well I ROI of 150% would be my bare minimum...

I would walk away from what you are doing... if your calculations were even badder you might end up even or worse... you need a stronger profit margin.

Depends on volume, time, other opportunities and how guaranteed the return is.

An ROI of 25% in 3 months is awesome if you can keep "reinvesting"/compounding it. You double your money every 9 months. "Compared to what" is always the question.

If you have a ceiling it seems the bigger question is what you can do with your profits outside of that particular scheme.
