Hey everyone,I’ve finally decided to document my pay-per-call journey here, not just to stay accountable but also to give back to this amazing community that has inspired me for years. I hope what I share helps someone else starting out, and I also welcome feedback, questions, tips, or constructive criticism from anyone more experienced.
My Current Setup
Here’s what I’m working with right now:
- Affiliate Network Access – I’ve been approved on a few platforms that offer pay-per-call campaigns. Some direct, some through brokers.
- Google Ads Account – This is my primary traffic source for now. I’m slowly scaling.
- Domains + Landing Pages – I've built several niche-specific pages to capture leads and trigger calls.
- Facebook Pages – I use them more for trust signals and remarketing than direct traffic.
- Passive Industry Experience – I’ve been around this space for 4+ years, more as an observer or side hustler than a serious player.
- Tech Support – I’m lucky to have a programmer friend who helps with scripts, landing page tweaks, and integrations.
- Mindset – Focused, long-term approach. No get-rich-quick energy here—just consistent action and learning.
What I’ve Tried / What I’m Doing Now
- Early Days: I experimented with Google My Business listings back in the day—yes, even the “postcard-less” ones, if you know what I mean . Got mixed results but gained valuable insight into local intent.
- Current Activity:
- Running search campaigns on Google Ads
- My campaigns currently average around 340 impressions a day
- I’ve generated 5 inbound calls so far – not a lot, but a promising start considering I’m still dialing in ad copy, keywords, and geo-targeting.
- Doing basic data analysis using spreadsheets and tracking tools to evaluate ROI and call quality
My Goals
This isn’t just a side hustle for me anymore. I’m turning this into a proper business. Here’s what I’m aiming for:
- Increase My Net Income – I want to scale consistently without burning ad spend. Profitable calls > volume.
- Form a Legal Entity – Everything above board, taxes paid, fully transparent.
- Build a Niche Database – I’m gathering data on the types of calls that convert, which niches pay well, and what local markets are less saturated.
- Cut Out the Middleman – My long-term plan is to build relationships with direct call buyers and eventually sell calls without going through a broker or network.
- Deadline: Before 2026 – I’m giving myself until the end of 2025 to hit these milestones. The clock is ticking.
Why I’m Sharing This
I’ve always learned best from real stories—not just tutorials or screenshots, but genuine, transparent journeys. So I’m putting mine out there in hopes that:
- I can stay focused and track progress publicly
- I get helpful feedback from others doing pay-per-call or lead gen
- I inspire even one person to start their own campaign

Wishing everyone success in their own journeys—let’s build something real!
