Google Adwords, Yahoo Search Marketing, MSN adCenter.
Choose one when your starting out in PPC advertising. I made the mistake of pushing my campaign out to all 3 of these search engines giants, hoping to get a sale/lead. Don’t do this! This will only waste time and money. For now, only pick one, and master it!
Master it??
With anything in life, if you ever want to succeed, you have to make time! These things go hand in hand!
I work an 8-5 job (I’d like to work on my affiliate business full time, but the income is quite yet there), right after that I workout for an hour, and once that’s done, I work on my affiliate business until I’m ready to pass out. Yeah you could say I’m pulling in at least 16 hour days, but I’ve come to realize, if I ever want to become successful in this business, I have to put in time towards it.
Malcom Gladwell, (author of Tipping Point, Outliers, and Blink) often mentioned his “10,000 hour rule”, in which, to become an expert in ANY field, you’d have to devote at least 10,000 towards that craft, sport, instrument, etc. 10,000 hours!! I calculated it and here’s a breakdown of how much 10,000 hours really is:
I’ll admit, for a week I got tired of Affiliate Marketing.
The “shiny ball” swayed my interest somewhere else, and it hampered my passion, my action, and my goals towards Affiliate Marketing. After that week, I was disgusted in myself. I thought long and hard and said to myself ‘I always do “this”‘. By “this”, I mean, I always focus on something, put all my effort into it (in this case Affiliate Marketing), and in a couple weeks I lose interest. Then it dawned on me. The reason why I lose interest is that I don’t update my goals!
I mentioned in my previous post that I made a list of goals for myself, and I did. In fact, I’ll list my very first goal:
I’ve read many great posts, blogs and even books (I know! Crazy stuff huh? BOOKS!!) and in every success story, every rags-to-riches, every CEO/President/(insert role model here), they always talk about their GOALS.
Goals, I believe, is the main reason why people succeed. Sprinkle some “drive” and “determination” and you got yourself a meal BABY!! If you don’t have goals, well then, where’s your “drive” and “determination” taking you? Huh? Smart guy!
I didn’t have much time to work on the site, but with the little time I did have, I managed to install Google Analytics. Well, not Google Analytics “technically”, I installed Google Analyticator for wordpress.
What is it and what does it do?
After reading how this guy made money from affiliate marketing, I couldn’t help but to wonder “If I put enough effort into this, could I make this much?”. I literally read this post a handful of times, and decided to research on the subject.
If you don’t know what Affiliate Marketing is, here’s Wiki’s understanding:
Hello!
Thanks for dropping by, I do appreciate it! I don’t have anything on here as of yet, but expect to see some progress once I get the hang of this stuff.
What kind of site is this?
You might be thinking to yourself, “What the f**k? There’s nothing here!”. Trust me, that’s exactly what I’m thinking too. Again, I am progressively working on this site, but I will give you a taste of what’s to come.
