AM Lessons: Earth to Your Girl!!
- 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
Things I Learned at My First Affiliate Summit West
- 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.
Movie Lessons
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.
