HOORAY!!!!!

$3.50 on a BBW campaign…

::scalescalescale:::

Been using 7search primarily…getting clicks and no conversions.

I can:

-try other traffic sources.

-build landing pages and stop direct linking.

Definitely a work in progress.

Started a few campaigns last night…need to experiment w. other traffic sources.

Got out the door late, after forgetting my jacket.

Took 30 minutes to find parking. Got into the conference late.

Sat in the back of the class so as not to disturb and was called out by the nice speaker “to come join the group”. He asked me, “Are you alone?”

-turn off the content network. ugh.

-i’m secretly rebellious because i’m in a boxed portrayal as someone who doesn’t do anything wrong.

-bowenian triangles SUCK. at least the ones i keep ending up in.

$30 spent on clicks. 550 clicks. 0 conversions.

Waited too long to pause that one, but on to the next.

Lessons:

-Thank God for cheaper traffic.

-100 clicks and no conversions was a good enough sign.

doing this in APRIL. I better get in shape.

• Google is expensive. Find cheaper traffic to start with.
• There’s a reason why it pays out so much - you’ll prolly need more money to make it work.
• Direct Linking, cloaking and tracking are easy. Keywords and landing pages not so.
• Your copywriting ain’t shit!!
• Focus, focus, focus

• Boring does not equal business
• You never know who you’ll meet.
• Open bar…is not an invitation to get f*cked up and miss the one keynote you wanted to see.
• Try fast, fail faster
• A lot of the “super affiliates” have been in the business for anywhere between 3-5 years

Meh…I’m still recovering, I’ll add to it as I remember.

I especially like movies I can learn something from. For example, from Riding in Cars With Boys with Drew Barrymore, I affirmed the decision to do whatever it took to NOT GET PREGNANT before it was prudent.

Right now, I’m watching Up in the Air, and I’m learning not to ever, not for a moment, think for a second that giving some fucktard company ten years of my life is going to save me from a layoff.

Okay, I knew a lot of these things, but the reminder is always nice.
