I haven’t posted here in a while as I’ve been working on a number of other projects. But I’ve decided that I should blog on a regular basis, as it could help me network with more people and also be a nice motivating factor to continue grinding all day.
I’m currently doing $30-$50/day net with an offer on Hydra, direct linking on YSM. And I’m trying to hit $1000/week in revenue so I can get into weekly wires.
I’m experimenting with a lot of things, and I’ll try and drop a post every day :)
I haven’t posted for a while now. So what have I been doing? Here are some updates.
Profitable Days
The campaign that gave me my first profitable day didn’t last long, but I made another one that did. Rode that one for a while and had my first profitable month! lol, made some bucks at 400% ROI.
Cheques!
Got my first check on May 6th! And another one at the end of the month! Both from Neverblue. I was pretty upbeat until I heard that the cheques wouldn’t clear until 45 days. Also, the banks are going to charge me for processing foreign cheques. So no cheques from now on. Such a waste of time and money. I hope I get to those weekly wires soon.
Google woes
I pretty much hit a brick wall when my budgets dwindled. Coach suggested I should build my sites while I waited for the cheques to clear. Google tried to charge my card (with the credit limit already over) and the payment failed. So Google just suspended my ads. Have to get around this budget thingy pretty quickly.
Lessons
I haven’t launched much during the last 60 days largely due to non existent funds, but I have been learning quite a lot. Talked with a couple of successful guys on AIM and made a few decisions about how to structure my future campaigns. Very useful. Should continue networking with a lot of people in the industry.
Nothing interesting happened, but I guess I will have my good days soon :)
First Real Profitable Month
September was my first real profitable month. I’ve had some $100-$150 months, but last month I did $987.50 in profit :) That’s almost $1k, I think its pretty cool for a beginner.
I bumped into a few problems right at the start of October, thanks to YSM, but will sort them out soon. I can’t wait to blow things up. I guess I’ll move up slowly as cashflow is still one of my major problems.
So my next goal would be to hit $1k/week in revenue and get into weekly payouts as soon as possible. Two things: I can go try other traffic sources for the few email/zips that I’m running now, OR, I can try some higher payout offers with YSM and Adwords for now and think about other traffic sources later.
I feel one with the industry now :)
