Even the BIG media buyers (spending 200k+ a month) often work on VERY, VERY thin margins vs a few yrs ago.
Plan on (this is AFTER the 6 months of loosing PN talks about) making 10-20% profit on whatever you're spending. Thats is you end up being one of the best in the world at it, which is obviously unlikely. No trying to be a downer, but just hate when ad reps and programs pop in and make it seem like its going to be all peaches and cream for you.

I'm with you there man. I would NOT recommend trying it.
Having said that, it really does depend on what you are selling and if you are good with mathematical equations. But like you said, it's a rough game because the margins are so slim (and unstable). So I don't do any myself (but I did, the most I spent was 5K for a monthly spot with Redtube, pre-Mind Geek). Besides to me, if you boil it down to pure numbers/mathematical equation (as many do) then what fun is that?
Gimme the tits 'n ass please. :D
