			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.olliehales.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/mom.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-62" title="mom" src="http://www.olliehales.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/mom-200x300.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="300" /></a>So, I know I promised that I would be updating this blog at least once or twice a week.  Look&#8217;s like I&#8217;ve failed in that area.  Alot of things have been going on in my life that has rearranged alot of priorities.  For starter&#8217;s, my wife is pregnant and we are expecting our 1st baby girl  to be due August 25th.  So I only have a few more weeks to get ready before Baby Hales comes into the picture.  I&#8217;m really excited to become a father and provide for my little one!</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve still be busy with my CPA marketing.  I&#8217;ve realize that although the money can come really quickly, it can also all evaporate just as fast.  For example, I was running this $250 Grocery Zip Submit campaign that pays out $1.35 per zip code submission.  Easy offer right&#8230;I was profiting anywhere between $50 to $100 dollars a day with the campaign.  Then all a sudden, my profits started dwindling down to $15 to $20 dollars a day.  What the heck right?!  Turns out someone else had mirrored my campaign and keywords and were promoting on the same platforms as I, thus diluting the market.   I tried to continue to attempt to make this campaign profitable, however, I was just on a downward spiral from which I never returned (well for that campaign).  I&#8217;ve moved on to other cmapaigns since then, but I learned a valuable lesson in the process.</p>
<p>1.)  Never fall in love with an offer.  If it becomes unprofitable, ditch it an move on to something else.</p>
<p>2.)  Expect your campaigns to be copied.  You can&#8217;t promote the same campaign for months and months on end and NOT expect anyone to notice.</p>
