Journey to $300/Day - Day 7

Well, that was the fastest $50 in ad spend that I've ever burned through. Two hours is all that it took. Maybe having 15 campaigns set at $10/day on a high traffic ad network is not the best idea in the world...

Or maybe it is.

I was able to generate 3 conversions in that period of time. Does it make up for the $50 spent - no. But it did provide something that may be more valuable than money at this juncture; and that is data. I need data in order to optimize these campaigns and I think this new ad network is going to give it to me in spades. I just need to make sure that I can control the dragon and not let it run amok on my budget.

To do that, I'm debating using a strategy of testing offers on a low traffic network just to see if the offer converts. Once I get conversions, then I develop landing pages and put it on the high traffic network to really start the optimization process.

Tonight, I was able to launch a few new campaigns and I also found one that may be a potential winner. I will have to do more testing to find out. It is another one of those CPA offers that I would never have tested in a million years.

Also, the high traffic network finally approved my campaigns (obviously) after over a week of waiting. I need to find a contact there that can get my stuff approved more rapidly. I also launched a campaign for my newest product on to that network but didn't get it up in time for it to be reviewed with the rest of the bunch. Hopefully it won't be another week.

That's about it for tonight.
