Adwords, Affiliate Marketing June 26th, 2007As my affiliate campaign continues to run my losses are gaining! I was running profitable for two days making about 70 a day, which was a mixed blessing. As soon as I saw a profit I bumped up my daily budgets on adwords and my conversion ratios plummeted for some unknown reason.
Last week on Sunday I lost $450, 450 DOLLARS IN A SINGLE DAY! I know in my heart of hearts I will not be making my June goal of $20 profit.
I am a little over $2000 in the hole right now, and things haven’t even begun looking up. I know I won’t be able to get my affiliate campaign back on track and becoming that profitable in the next 5 days. But I am glad I have tried this, I’m learning more each day about affiliate marketing. The hardest part is not pulling the plug and cutting my losses, but I’m in too deep to turn back now.
Even though I won’t make this months goal, I hope by next month I will be a little bit closer to my 10k quest!

It’s too bad you won’t be able to make your June goal, but with every goal you’ll encouter setbacks. Just keep staying positive and I’m sure you’ll get back on track for next month.
Good luck, I look forward to reading what happens!

Thanks! I’m staying positive, but it’s getting easier to second guess this decision to start up this affiliate campaign.

Have you thought of other ways to make money? I am looking at your blog and see only two ads. If you want tips and tricks, take a look at my blog. I think you need to look into other ways since losing $450 in a single day is a sure sign to try your luck at something else.

Thanks Chris and Zaki!
Meili if you set out to make 10k a month what systems would you use?

I am glad that you are still hanging in there. You have the spirit to succeed. Even if it takes you longer than anticipated it is still a very courageous goal. I just want to reach $5000 just for the year. LOL. Keep it up! Rooting for you!
