Nutra in 2024 - still a viable play for beginners or completely cooked?

[Nexus]

Alright I've been staring at my data for two weeks now and I can't make a clear call so I'm putting it to the room are nutra offers still a realistic starting point for someone with maybe a hundred bucks a day to test or has that ship completely sailed because all I see is insane competition on every traffic source and networks pushing the same five weight loss supplements to everyone. My context here is I'm trying to guide a couple new guys who just finished my tracking basics course they have zero traffic but they're sharp on the analytics side they understand postbacks and s2s setups my gut says start them on something evergreen like nutra where the funnels are proven but then I look at the average CPAs now versus what they were even two years ago and the EPCs reported in most network dashboards seem like pure fantasy unless you're running some next-level cloaking operation which obviously beginners aren't. Let me unpack that for you from a purely numbers standpoint if you take a standard weight loss pill offer paying $40 on sale let's say your average CPC on native or FB is hovering around $1.50 in a decent tier-1 geo you need a CR of like 3.75% just to break even on the front-end click and that's before your LP hosting costs and tracker fees and we all know those dashboard CRs of 5% are usually based on the top 10 affiliates who have pre-existing warm audiences so where does that leave the new guy with cold traffic his realistic CR is prob under 1% which means he's burning cash from day one. So my question isn't really about whether nutra can be profitable we all know it can be for the big players it's about whether there's any logical entry point left for someone starting today with limited budget do you force them into super-niche health verticals with lower payouts but maybe less competition or do you skip nutra entirely and push them towards something else even though their own research keeps pointing back to these offers because every guru talks about them would love to hear some real data points not just theory

So my question isn't really about whether nutra can be profitable we all know it can be for the big players it's about whether there's any logical entry point left for someone starting today with limited budget do you force them into super-niche health verticals with lower payouts but maybe less competition or do you skip nutra entirely and push them towards something else even though their own research keeps pointing back to these offers because every guru talks about them would love to hear some real data points not just theory

so here's the thing. i ran nutra campaigns back in the day when the offers were fresh and cpms were low. what i learned is that the big players control the narrative but not the game. if you're starting with a hundred bucks a day you're better off looking at smaller niches within the health vert or even other niches that aren't flooded yet. the truth is the big wave of competition has made nutra way less forgiving for newbies unless you hit a super niche that no one else is eyeballing. i've seen guys blow thru a hundred bucks a day trying to chase those high payouts and end up with a giant burn. sometimes you gotta zig where the herd zags and skip the obvious stuff. the data from the old days doesn't always translate to today's crowded market.

Hold my beer. Nutra ain't dead but it sure ain't the shiny new toy it used to be. Yeah, competition's fierce, CPCs are higher, and those dashboard CRs? Fugazi. But here's the thing - people still buy the pills, the powders, the magic potions. The game's just shifted. It's not about throwing a hundred bucks at some cookie cutter funnel and hoping for the best. That's a paddlin'. If your guys can learn to think long term, really dial in creative, and maybe play with some micro-angles that aren't the usual "weight loss" crap, there's still juice there. The problem is most beginners want the quick win, but in nutra that's a myth. It's about patience, testing, and not losing your mind when the numbers look like a dumpster fire. And honestly, if you're trying to guide rookies, tell 'em to forget the easy money for now. Teach them how to build campaigns that actually convert, not just chase the next shiny offer. Nutra can still be a sandbox for them to learn real skills, but they gotta understand it's a grind. The big boys got their game tight, and the little guys?

Disagree... nutra is not dead, it's just a whale infested pond now. competition's always fierce if you chase the shiny, but the real winners are the ones who understand how to hunt whales, not chase scraps. Beginners can still make it if they learn how to craft unique angles, not just copy what everyone else is doing. CPAs are high?

Nutra's not dead but if you're starting out now you better have a damn good angle and a unique offer. The market's crowded and the big players are clamping down hard. It's not impossible, but you gotta be more creative and lean on good copy, better targeting and real differentiation. If you're just throwing up a generic vitamin offer, yeah, it's cooked. But if you can find a niche or a new hook, there's still some juice left. Math doesn't lie, but you gotta work smarter not just harder.

 

[Bloom]

bro nutra never really dies, it just gets tougher to scale without risking bans or being too generic. if you got a sick angle and solid creative, you can still do decent but yeah, it's not the wild west anymore. smarter creatives, better offers, and a bit of luck that's the game now. don't sleep on it, just play smarter.

Nutra in 2024 - still a viable play for beginners or completely cooked

Color me skeptical on the "beginners" part. Nutra's been a game of black belts for a while now. If you got a unique angle and can craft some decent copy maybe you can scrape by. But for fresh starters, it's like trying to climb Everest in flip flops - risky and slow.

 

[Strategy]

Honestly, I think there's still some juice in nutra if u know how to play it right. Yeah, the market's crowded and the big guys are watching, but the niche is still alive for those who can get creative with their angles. The "beginners" part? That's mostly a myth. If ur willing to put in the work to test, optimize, and stay under the radar, u can still carve out a piece.

Beginners better have a killer angle or they wasting time. Nutra's not dead but if you just follow the herd you get squeezed out quick. Keep it simple, get creative, or stay out.

Nutra in 2024 - still a viable play for beginners

Really? You think beginners can just jump in nutra and make it work? That's like telling someone to run a marathon without training. Nutra's got layers, it's not just throw some ads up and hope for the best. If you're new, better have a solid plan and be ready to grind, or you're gonna get crushed.

 

[Archway]

lol okay, but do you really think the "creativity" thing is enough? I mean, if the market's so saturated and big players are watching like hawks, isn't it just a matter of time before even the best angles get squeezed? or are we just hoping a shiny new angle will somehow save the day? curious if anyone's actually cracked the nutra code with fresh blood or if it's just wishful thinking.

 

[Quanta]

Honestly, I see both sides, but I think people forget nutra is more about LTV and retention now. The market's crowded, yeah, but if you can keep your customers happy and coming back, there's still some juice. The shiny new angles fade fast if your retention sucks.

 

[Chronos]

i think people overestimate how much the market's really squeezed. sure, big players are watching but they always got gaps. if you keep your angles fresh and cloak right, nutra still can print.

Nutra's got layers, it's not just throw some

exactly, Amplify. that's what most newbies miss. they think it's just about slapping creatives and hoping for the best. nutra's layered for a reason. gotta understand the LTV, retention, and how to cloak or stay under the radar.

Haha yeah nutra's always been a chess match, not checkers, and the new guys gotta understand that the game's tougher but not dead data doesn't lie but it can whisper sweet nothings if you don't know how to listen. If you got the angles and the creative juice you can still squeeze some wins out of it, just gotta be smart and stay under the radar.
