Here's a clear breakdown of how people make $1,000/day with Google Ads + affiliate marketing, and what you'd need to do if you want to attempt it yourself.

💡 The Basic Model

Pick an Affiliate Offer

Choose a product or service from a network (ClickBank, Digistore24, MaxBounty, CJ, Impact, etc.).

High-ticket offers (commissions $100+) or recurring subscriptions are best.

Build a Landing Page (Bridge Page)

Instead of sending traffic directly to the affiliate link, use a simple landing page.

Collect emails (via a lead magnet) so you can re-target later.

Keep it fast, mobile-optimized, and aligned with Google's ad policies.

Run Google Ads

Use Search Ads for high-intent keywords (e.g., "best email marketing software" if promoting ConvertKit).

Use Display/YouTube Ads for retargeting.

Focus on keywords that show buyer intent: "buy," "review," "discount," "trial."

Optimize & Scale

Track conversions with Google Tag Manager + the affiliate network's tracking pixel.

Cut losing keywords/ad groups quickly.

Scale winners by increasing budget, cloning campaigns into new regions, or testing new ad copy.

📊 Example Math: Hitting $1,000/Day

Offer: Pays $120 per sale.

Conversion Rate: 2% (2 out of 100 clicks buy).

Ad Spend: $1.00 CPC (100 clicks = $100).

Revenue: 2 sales × $120 = $240.

Profit: $240 – $100 = $140 profit.

To hit $1,000 profit/day, you'd need ~700–800 clicks and ~15–20 sales/day. That usually means $500–$700 in ad spend daily at scale.

⚠️ Things to Watch Out For

Google Ads Policy: They hate "direct linking" to affiliate offers. Always use a landing page with original content.

Budget Needs: You'll need at least $50–$100/day starting budget to gather enough data.

Tracking Tools: Use Voluum, Binom, or BeMob to properly track ROI.

Competition: High-paying niches (finance, health, software) are competitive—expect CPCs to be expensive.

🚀 Pro Tips from Successful Affiliates

Promote recurring offers (like SaaS subscriptions)—one sale can turn into $1,000+/month over time.

Leverage remarketing lists in Google Ads—cheaper clicks for warmer traffic.

Split-test ads constantly—headlines, CTAs, and landing pages.

Use native ads + YouTube as secondary channels once your funnel works.
