Busy Baby Days Ahead

0

So, I know I promised that I would be updating this blog at least once or twice a week.  Look’s like I’ve failed in that area.  Alot of things have been going on in my life that has rearranged alot of priorities.  For starter’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’m really excited to become a father and provide for my little one!

I’ve still be busy with my CPA marketing.  I’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…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’ve moved on to other cmapaigns since then, but I learned a valuable lesson in the process.

1.)  Never fall in love with an offer.  If it becomes unprofitable, ditch it an move on to something else.

2.)  Expect your campaigns to be copied.  You can’t promote the same campaign for months and months on end and NOT expect anyone to notice.
