An Affiliate Marketer from the Ground Up

As much as I hear things sometimes, I still seem to have to do things my own way. I guess that's why I'm in the poor financial situation I am. I did some reading before starting my PPC endeavors, but I didn't take everything as seriously as I should have. I kept reading...'research your keywords, track your keywords, know how do bid your keywords, get good records of what the results of each campaign are, good and bad'.

Here I sit with only $56 dollars in revenue, from over $300 dollars spent in advertising. How much did I use the things that I read, from the experienced guys that have been doing this ? NONE!! That's not a good answer. I guess maybe I did store a little bit of what I read, as I did watch things a little closer this last campaign. It 'only' cost me $26.48 to make $26.00. Now I'm not a business major, but I think that maybe I'm still a little upside down on that deal.

The point of this postis, go seek out the creditable informatiom, study it, remember it, write it down if you need to. The most important thing is, USE IT!! If you're still reading this, then you're probably in the same boat as me, a complete beginner. Hopefully however, you've ran across this before you've lost as much as I have. I've paused my campaigns, and they're going to stay that way until I regroup and start things going in a different direction, up.

I'll post again here when I have more results, good or bad. Hopefully it'll be good news, because I'm starting to get a little down on this Affiliate Marketing thing.

Until Next Time, Thanks for Reading,

Jeff
