Here's what you're missing. I tested a handful of networks that claim to accept total newbies with no traffic and just a few bucks to spend. The one that actually showed decent results is an old school CPA network, they pay around 20 to 25 dollars per lead for basic offers like signups or surveys. I ran a small test, spent like 15 bucks on some free traffic sources, Facebook group ads and Reddit. Within 48 hours I had 3 leads, 2 approved, and made about 50 bucks. EPC was roughly 1.66 on that small sample but hey, it's proof you don't need massive traffic to start. The trick? Look for networks that don't require a big history, offer simple CPA or CPL deals, and are known for quick approval. Avoid the networks that demand tons of traffic, like 1000 hits a day before approval, or those with long payout cycles. Also, keep your lander super simple, no fancy scripts, just a clean, honest offer. The numbers tell the story - test cheap, keep it honest, and you'll get your first conversions. Don't forget Facebook Ads will ban you for breathing wrong, so focus on safer traffic sources and avoid black hat stuff. Once you get those first few wins, scaling gets a lot easier.
