EXAMPLE:
45$ commission
3% conversion rate = out of 100 clicks u get 3 sales
At 45$ commission per sale you earned 135$
135$/100 = 1.35 $
Break Even CPC = 1.35$ (you can spend 1.35 per click to break even,if you spend more then u loose money,if you spend less than then u make money)
Lets say you are getting .60 cents per click.for 100 clicks you spent 60$.you earned 135$ in commissions, 135-60=75$ = PROFIT
Important that you know that and dont spend more then you need to.
