Final thought for 2006

December 22nd, 2006 by Zinc

As the year draws to a close I sit here asking myself “if only I would have…” and “I wish I had…”. It’s too late now, but I can start to think about the new year and some of the things I would like to achieve in 2007.

So, here is my list of personal and business goals in no particular order:

Update: some of the goals I had were hard to measure so I have now made them SMART objectives.

  1. Quit smoking
  2. Create at least 10 sites
  3. Spend more time with my girlfriend
  4. Save £5k
  5. Make £100 a day (sustainable) via affiliate marketing
  6. Work for myself
  7. Move out of our flat and into a house

There is a lot I would have done differently this year, if only I could turn back the clock. Here’s to 2007!

Have a great Christmas and New Year and see you on the other side!

Cheers ;)

Campaign was profitable after all

December 21st, 2006 by Zinc

I will start off by saying that I am very new to PPC and poop myself everytime I set my daily spend to £5!

A few weeks ago I created a PPC campaign via adwords, I wont advertise the details for obvious reasons but it was a very low value product as too was the commision.

On the first day I had 25 clicks and 1 sale but was losing money so I decided to pause the campaign. The clicks cost around £3 and I made £1 for an unacceptable £2 loss, yeah so what I’m a cheap skate…

Fast forward 2 weeks and the campaign is still paused but I have had 6 sales from those original 25 clicks. I have now made £18 so that’s £15 profit from the original £3 I put in.

I am not sure whether the campaign was a success or it’s to do with the Christmas Rush. Either way I’m investing another £3 in the new year… :D

Update: I am far from as tight as I make out above, I am new to PPC and just testing the water. If I had the money to lose I wouldn’t hessitate in setting a high daily spend. Now stop e-mailing me ;)
