Things are going in the right direction=)Lead GenerationThe site is making progress in the SERPS. It is currently #17 for it's main keyword after only having been up for a month or so. I credit the press release that I bought at the Warrior Forum for the 17 spot jump. Hopefully soon the leads will start flowing in.InfoproductsThe MSN campaign for my main product was a wash. I think that

Hey, here is a quick update on how things are going.Lead GenThe site is currently doing the Google Dance but is #30 on Yahoo. I need to check in and see how things are going with the press releases. I also may have one of my employees focus on building backlinks for the site and the main Clickbank product page.InfoproductsI set up an MSN campaign with an OTO a few days a go and I had my first

Lead GenThe site is ranked at the top of the 4th page right now. I ordered a set of press releases that should be finished soon. I think that the press releases will do some good.Info ProductsI ran a short PPC campaign for one of my product that I've left on the back burner, however, I was only able to get 3 optins after spending over $30. Maybe that market is not the optin type. Either way,

It's already 5 days into the New Year. I think this year is going to go by faster than last year.Don't ask me why but I'm pretty optimistic about how things are going to turn out for the Business. The priorities are still the same for the most part, with a couple of twists.Lead GenThe site is almost ready for prime time. I'm only waiting for my employee to finish one of the promo videos. From

She said she should have it ready later today. In the meantime, I put a placeholder up for the video and started the SEO work today.Hopefully, thing will move quickly on getting ranked.

I've been trying to get clients with very little success so far. I've tried emailing them to get people to watch a video about the services I was planning to offer but that didn't work well. And it turns out that I've become soft since my days of telemarketing. The cold calling didn't go well and I wasn't able to keep motivated after taking the hits.Instead, I'm going to build my own sites and

Information ProductsAs I mentioned in my last post, I started running a PPC campaign for my relationship product back in October. However, I was running into an issue of being able to track which keywords were getting optins but not which ones were making sales.After thinking about it for a while, I realized that I could use Aweber to deduce the keyword. All of my customers get shifted from the

I have a number of things going on so I'm going to split them into categories.Information ProductsAfter the last update, my main product site essentially dropped from #1 to being no where on the first page. It seems to be coming back now, though, as it was #5 last night. I have one of my employees creating articles for Unique Article Wizard and blog comments for that site.The same is true for

After finishing all of the videos for getting offline clients, I started sending the emails last week. Today I finished Tampa, Houston, and Seattle. So far, I have not had any responses but I'm sure it is a numbers game.That essentially sums up today's work - sending email.

That's seven years from now. I can no longer afford to bide my time. It's time to get it done."Today is November 8. It's my 30th birthday...

The review site is almost finished, as mentioned in the title=)The new promo video for the new opt-in report is up and running on 2 of my sites. My VA did a great job with it and it makes things so much easier for me. All I have to do is record the audio, she does the rest including the audio editing.I will try to work on the $7 OTO tonight.

It's the first day of June and I recently saw a blog post where the owner put up their goals for the month. I thought it was a good idea so I'm going to do the same.Goal 1 - 1st Product SiteGenerate $1600 GrossThis equates to only ~36 sales of my entry level product for the month, which should be completely doable. However, to take the pressure off of that product I'm going to implement some

It's been awhile since I declared my "Machine" to be complete. No sooner had I done so did the main component fail. The content writer left and I've been on the hunt for a new one ever since.Hence the lack of updates. There really hasn't been any change because the content writer is a key part of my strategy.Anyway, just needed to post as a way to "check in".

The Machine is almost complete. Actually, the day after I said I had all of my employees set, my superstar-to-be writer resigned for personal reasons. Since then, I've been looking for a new writer. Even so, the current Machine is a beast. Here are some developments:Went from #5 to #3 for the main keyword on my 1st product siteWent from #5 to #1 for my main product keywordHave seen shifts in

Am I built for this? That’s the question I’ve been asking myself; am I truly built to be in this business? I mean it’s been 6 years now and I’m still not doing this full time. Nearly everyone who started at the same time as I did has quit. Yet, I recently found Jon from the Art of Money and he’s still at it. Not only is he still at it, but he is a full time Internet Marketer.What did he do

I was on to something around this time last year. Through similar soul searching as I've been going through lately, I came to the conclusion that seems to be correct...I'm not a worker bee.Worker bees can do the same thing, over and over without issue. I can't do that. I get bored. I come up with new ideas and I'm quickly lead astray to follow those ideas.I'm the alpha male.I'm the lion with

The longer I'm in this business, the more desperate I become to make it work. I know that a lot of people will say that desperation is good...That desperation will make you go further...Push harder...I know longer think that's the case. The more I look at my behavior over the past 6 years, the more I realize that desperation has made me soft. I say I put in hard work, but am I really doing

It's been a long time (as usual). I'm still doing the CPA offer but had to shut things down toward the end of Jan due to my budget. A number of my converting offers were shut down so my income dropped pretty significantly right after turning my ads back on.My main site's money page recently fell from #2 to 16 for the main keyword. That was an even bigger hit to the income. I need to build

Over the last 2 days I've launched 18 campaigns. Most of them fizzled but there were a couple winners to work with and optimize. In fact, one CPA offer that I would never have normally tested actually made a conversion and had an unbelievable amount of traffic to go with it. I look forward to getting the most I can out of that offer.The other day I was listening to something Ed Dale said. He

Happy New Year! It's 2011 already!The deadline to meet my $300/day goal has passed and I have not achieved it. There were many reasons why it didn't happen (server getting hacked, sickness, Holidays, laziness). Even so, I don't consider it to be a complete failure.1.

Things have been crazy since this weekend. First, my clickthroughs were not registering with one of the CPA networks. Then I get an email from my server host that says that I've used 922GB in bandwidth this month on the domain where I host Prosper.Which is INSANE!Especially when you consider that I only shifted my tracking there last week! I think someone hacked my server. I talked to other

This has really been a dead week as far as my business is concerned. I didn't want to add any more charges to my AMEX for this billing cycle so I had to wait until yesterday to do much of the cash investing that I needed to do.However, this week was the Culling Week.

Since moving, they have not been able to complete tasks for me as efficiently as they used to.

Man, Thanksgiving hit me a little harder than I expected. I've been having trouble staying focused for over a week now.But I'm back and on top of things again.In the past week, I switched some dating campaigns over to a new offer and end up losing a decent amount of money. I think my targeting is too broad and not "niche" enough for the offer. I'm debating on whether I should just let it go

I would count what day this is but I think you'll be ok not knowing in this post. I basically took most of last week off for Thanksgiving. I guess everyone else did too because my earnings plummeted=(Yesterday and today was all about the landing pages and building new campaigns. I took an old dating offer and retooled it for a new offer that was recommended by my AM. I also set up a campaign

This weekend I worked almost exclusively on CPA offers. One dating offer in particular, I was hoping to have up and running for testing by the weekend but that didn’t happen. I made a mistake with the set up and when it came time from the ad network to approve the landing pages, things weren’t working properly. Hopefully I will get approval today.The main offer that seemed to have the most

Wow...Yesterday was bad because I had no motivation. Today was bad because I had too much motivation and couldn't decide on what to do next. Idol hands are the devil's workshop and my budget today is proof.However, the good news is that my calculated risk of implementing numerous (12+) campaigns for a handful of offers that have converted in the past paid off. I wasn't in profit for the day

I came home today and DID NOT want to work...Between headaches and frustration at only pulling in $6.40 all day, I just wanted to take the night off. But I didn't...I launched two modified campaigns for offers that have converted for me in the past. This brings the total of "proven-to-convert" campaigns up to 4.

Optimization is not as easy as I thought it would be=)I burned through another $40 testing the dating offer yesterday and grossed ~$22. This morning, I looked at my stats and started day parting based on when the most conversions took place and when the most profitable times of the day have been during the past week.Yesterday, I created an MSN/Yahoo campaign for my relationship product.

I've been in Florida for the last few days so I really have not done much other than working on optimization for the dating offer. So far I've burned through a lot of money but have made back enough to show that this offer can be optimized to profitability.After running the offer for a week, I have more than enough data to eliminate bad targets and pick a landing page variation that converts

Last night, I created a total of 8 landing pages for a particular dating offer that was recommended by my affiliate manager. I just submitted the campaigns for approval so we will see how it goes.That was essentially it. I'm reassessing my attempt at email marketing in the dating niche because the results so far have been abyssmal in terms of opt ins. I'm about to turn off the optin pages and

Yesterday I worked pretty much most of the day on building the email marketing for the 2 dating offers. I created 2 video squeeze pages, 2 lead magnets, and a total of 10 messages.

This week has been crazy. Between work and my personal life, I have not spent as much time working as I need to. One of the campaigns that was consistently grossing money has been cut off. It was an email submit and I was spending way too much time trying to optimize it - especially considering the lifespan of most zip/email submits.There are 2 dating related offers that are converting on a

Thinking about today, I'm not sure if there is really anything exciting. I mostly worked on refining my current campaigns that have made conversions. I call them my "potentials". Most of the time tonight was spent on trying to filter out non-converters and adding new things to bid on and test.No new campaigns today.I did find that one version of a landing page I created for an email submit had

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

On Friday I made the decision to focus on list building for my efforts toward $300/day. I knew all along that it is what I should be doing...I just didn't want to do it=)Thankfully, I already have some autoresponders set up in some high power niches so it is just a matter of getting the traffic (as always). I will be testing a number of different traffic methods to make this happen - all paid.

...Internal conflict.Do I build lists from day one (more like Day 5 now) or do I go all out, bull-in-a-china-shop style and charge toward my $300/day goal as quickly as possible?I knew the answer until I talked to Roger yesterday. Now I'm not so sure. All of my experience tells me to make a list but doing so is not fast. It's not immediately profitable. It's time and labor intensive.These are

Another night of work...I launched 10 campaigns tonight and also sent out a broadcast this morning for my my main product. Some of the 10 campaigns were ones that I had on a different network. I wanted to test them out else where and see how things go.While doing so, I noticed a possible issue. The first few landing pages I created are pretty boring and weak. The ones that I've made in the

They really like to beat me up at work...It took me nearly 2 hours to wind down and get settled after work today. Unfortunately, that translated into another day of not moving nearly as far as I'd like. I was able to finish 2 landing pages for the CPA offer that has converted the most for me. I was also able to launch a new test campaign and test a new offer on an old campaign.That was about

Night of October 25, 2010.I came home and found that I had a few more CPA conversions - a couple repeats from some campaigns that had already converted and two from new campaigns. While it may not have been the best route to choose, I created 2 new landing pages for the campaign that had the newest conversion. The only reason I did this is because it has a much higher payout.I tried to make an

October 25, 2010I woke up angry this morning...Not really but there have been mornings where I have woken up angry - and it's happening more and more often.I'm tired of the way things are going. I'm apart from my girlfriend while she's at law school. I HATE my job. My duplex sucks and is killing my finances, slowly and methodically. My faithful and reliable Ford Contour is going on 13 years

I watched a video by Anik Singal the other day. In it he talked about how traffic to your sites is built by "hustling" with the the boring, methods you always hear about.The article marketing...The forum marketing...The blog comments...And he's right. I know he's right. I've known this for a long time - and yet I keep getting pulled from the path by the latest traffic generation method. How

Tuesday and Wednesday I was hard at work getting my second market attack ready. I say second because I had created this product earlier this year but had abandoned it for certain reasons. However, I decided to at least let it run for a little while and see how things go. I retooled the product, sales letter, and website. I also set up a small Yahoo Search campaign. We will see how things

The brand new product went into the black on Wednesday! Yah! It feels great to have a product in more than one market. Having all of my eggs in one (market) basket that didn't have much traffic was a bad decision but I'm diversifying now. What's even better is this:Opt-In Conversion Rate:~15%Salesletter Conversion Rate:5.26%Yeah, I'm excited about that. Right now all of my traffic is being

My new product has sold 2 copies since it went on sale. I'm not in the profit yet but I am optimizing the campaigns to get more bang for the buck. I'm also considering Facebook Ads and seeing how that will go. It will definitely be cheaper than Yahoo!I'm also working on a new long term project that was inspired by someone in a forum I go to.

Today I was able to set up a sale for my first product and also get a broadcast set up for my second major market. I also set one of my VAs up on doing some backlinking to some of my articles in the second market. I did not get as far as I would have liked in terms of retooling the 2nd market newsletter for my new product. I will have to make some more videos for it tomorrow because I just

YES!Fin! I finally have a product in a brand new market! Everything has been screaming for me to do PPC straight to the landing page, but I need to be good. List building is more important... We will see how long my will power lasts.In terms of list building, I have to redo my entire autoresponder sequence to refocus it to my product rather than the product I was promoting as an affiliate.

Hey, I know, it's been over a month=(In June, I decided to start doing PPC again. As far as traffic goes, it is the thing I do the best so I got back into the game with my main product. Things have been going well with it so far.My 3rd product in a new market (the 2nd one has me scared of the FTC so I'm not actively promoting it right now) is almost finished. I just need to do the cover pages

And I thought that May was going to stick around for a little bit but alas... Each month is moving faster than the last. So where am I?Well, I was set to promote my new product when I had the fear of the FTC put into me. So, until I can have a lawyer look at the product and make sure that I'll be ok it's going to be shelved. I was pretty bummed about that but it's ok - I've started my plans

And a new product! After years of using an OOOLLLLLDDD desk and and even older dining room chair for my workspace in a cramped corner of my bedroom, I've finally stepped up.I cleaned out a room that I was using for storage, bought a leather executive chair and an awesome desk. Some people would call it a home office, but I call it my Command Center. ComCen1 to be exact=)I've also executed part

The plan to focus on 4 sites and get them to decent income status is still on track. I can say this - linkbuilding is boring. I'm not a fan of it, I'd much rather be creating new products and sites. However, the lack of link building is what has lead me into trouble in the past.I have added a new site to the 4 and replaced one that looked as though it may not work out. This new site is one

...Trafficwise. I'll be the first to say it - I'm not a fan of SEO. It is slow and the results come only after a long time of working at it. It's like throwing energy and effort into a black box and hoping that the output on the otherside is worth it.Well, I'm starting to see a few inklings of traffic from my efforts. Only a handful of people but its traffic. I've even had 2 people sign up

I'm finally starting to get back on my feet after the catastrophe that was 2009. The plans for my sites has been evolving and last night I formulated my action plan. I've also decided that since I can't seem to find a decent writer to work for me full time, I will hire a virtual assistant instead and outsource content writing to a writing service. It will be more expensive but at least the

It's big, mean, ambitious as hell and completely secret.Even so, I'm anticipating that each sale is

So far, I'm not extraordinarily thrilled with my new employee. He may not last the probationary period.Other aspects of the business are looking up. I just hired a graphic designer to do some work on a Wordpress theme I bought for use on 3 of the 4 sites in my plan. I have also developed 10 autoresponder messages for one of the markets.

Of the last few months, my business has been on life support in the ICU. I can't even begin to tell you all of the mistakes I've made this year. Needless to say, they've cost me BIG.But I've also learned some very important lessons:I don't learn lessons very well - Even the pain for thousands of dollars in PPC losses wasn't able to make me change my practices and temper my impatience.My problem

Two weekends ago, I went to an Internet Marketing seminar in Dallas. It was awesome! It started off being a pitchfest but quickly turned into a wealth of knowledge. I also had the chance to meet a lot of people there, both people like me and those who have made it big like Mike Koenigs (who is really cool, by the way).But out of all of the speakers, Stephen Pierce was the most impressive.

I am a PPC junkie. As I write articles and submit them to directories, I can hear Yahoo and MSN whispering "I'm soooo much faster, Jon. I can give you traffic in a matter of MINUTES!"I feel my hands shake as I force myself to concentrate on the new strategy. The itch to pay for traffic is constantly hounding me though. It's relentless and completely unashamed. The PPC Itch promises me great

My work to get back into PPC failed. Once again, impatience and poor strategy have cost me dearly in both money and time. I am learning my lessons, though. I just wish it wasn't costing me an arm and a leg in the process.So, I'm forced to use organic methods of driving traffic. Luckily, I've picked up some great nuggets along the way that should help things. One of them is a great affiliate

I didn't realize it had been this long since my last post. That's insane!Anyway, I'm plugging away at my email marketing. Right now my sign ups are pretty low - between 6 and 10%. However, I am split testing and working to boost that number. My goal is to reach at least 25% opt-in.My copywriter for my product salesletters is AWOL. I'm going to call her to night and get things back on track.

This has been a busy month. I've been working to launch lists in several markets, start a take over of my product's market, and get a new product developed.Unfortunately, the new product has fallen by the way side. I need to get back on it because it's in a proven market and the traffic is strong enough that I'd make a nice amount of cash with it. That will have to be my focus tonight -

It came this past weekend - I made a sale on one of the test campaigns I was running.That makes 3 campaigns that have proven themselves to be worth the effort of building a real site and autoresponder. This campaign is a low traffic one right now so I think I'll keep it active for the moment just to be sure the sale wasn't a fluke.As for the other 2, I launched the autoresponder for one of them

Since my last update, I've launched/maintained 8 campaigns. Some are existing, some are in the test phase. Those that are existing have proven to convert in the past.The other day I had confirmation that one of the test products I wanted to promote does convert. Now I'm going to set about building a website and autoresponder around the topic. I created around 10 days worth of follow-ups for

It came to me in a dream...Email marketing was going to be the way for me. Yes, I'd still do PPC because I'm PPC for life but building a list using those efforts is the key. I was talking to Roger a week or two ago and basically told him how stupid I'd been. I mean, I didn't start making decent, reliable money in this game until I started building a list. But then I got caught up in the flash

That's right. I'm back at the PPC game. I guess I'm hooked. I am doing it a little smarter this time around and actually collecting the email addresses as I go. This way I can send them all kinds of offers and product sales pitches.This is a gamble though because my cash reserves are running on empty. I have to be smart about every move I make from here on out.

Well, it looks like I'm going to have to curtail much of my PPC marketing for a while. I've essentially run out of money. While I was getting some returns, I wasn't always making a profit. So, until I can get my finances back under control it looks like I'm going to be doing the SEO thing.While this is slower, I think that I can make it work by focusing on very special keywords and outsourcing

There always seems to be one. It seems like I always miss some part of the puzzle in this game and it keeps me from making the progress that I should.That has always been the result of my lack of patience. I want everything and I want it NOW. No time to waste completely following strategy, just get me to the part where the money comes in. Unfortunately, the money doesn't come in if you don't

Now is the time to focus on getting them all profitable. For some of them, I'll be happy with a few dollars per day. With others, I want to hit triple digit profits per day. This will all come about through ruthless split testing. All of the campaigns I have now have been proven to be able to make money. Now it is just matter of getting that money consistently and profitably.Ruthless split

The thing that has helped me most over the past 4 months is focus. I've stayed focused doing just Clickbank products through PPC. Now the urge to jump back into CPA offers has hit again!So far, I've found one winner out of the several CPA offers I've tested. Now it's just a matter of generating more volume (reoccuring theme with me and affiliate marketing). The problem is that now I'm not

All it takes is one thing to make or break you. One thing that you should have known months ago. If you had this one thing, everything would be differnet right now.For me that one thing is this - start small.I've heard so many times that you should find the people who are where you want to be and do what they do. Makes sense, right? There is a problem with that, though. The people who are

I'm currently at 6-8 campaigns that are running at the moment. The problem is that only 2 of them are converting consistently. There are 2 others that I know should convert well because I see them advertised all the time, yet they don't want to convert for me. Not sure what is up with that. I suspect that it may be something to to do with the affiliate link the merchant gave me rather than

As you can tell by my lack of posts=)Yeah, I've been pretty busy. I've been able to get 6 campaigns up, 2 of which are showing real promise; two others could be monsters if I could just get the traffic and landing page right; and one is on life support.The good news is that my copywriter is almost finished with the salesletters for my product. Not only that, but she is creating extra bonuses

American Express...They are both the fuel for my business and the breaks. Without them, I would never be able to play this PPC game. At the same time, when the bill gets big I have to cut my spending until the end of the billing cycle. That is until I get things rolling profitably.So, during this dormant period while I wait for the billing period for Jan to end, I'm getting my campaigns set up

I'm really starting to get excited about the rewards I've decided on. While I haven't met any of the requirements yet, I know it is only a matter of time.I really need that new desk and chair. The one I currently have is not really designed to be ergonomic. The desk chair is going to be fancy, too. While Herman-Miller gets all the press for ergonomic desk chairs, I can say that they are just

Last night I launched 2 new campaigns. Actually, there was only 1 new one. The other was really a relaunch of what I had thought was a dud.Somehow, when I loaded my campaign (and I don't know how this happened), all of my adgroups had the word "Broad" as their keyword. Not one of them had the actual keyword I was trying to bid on!This ran for several days and I was about to cut the campaign

While I'm no longer a member of PPC Coach ( the program I'm in now is much better), there was one thing that I really liked about it. They advocated creating a rewards system so that each milestone you achieve means a personal gift for yourself. In that vein, here is my list=) All values are based on profit, not gross.$50/day - New desk and fancy leather chair$100/day - Blackberry Bold or

This seems to be a recurring theme with me. I've been looking for coaching to show me exactly what do to in this PPC game. PPC Classroom turned out to be mostly for newbies. After messing with PPC for the past 4 years, there really wasn't much new that I've picked up from them yet.However, I just joined a coaching program that is different. The coach only took on 12 people and he set up a

Yes, it is 2009. Last year was a blur, I think, mostly because I had a massive goal I was trying to achieve. Going full time with my business before I was 27 would have been a massive achievement. Unfortunately, I didn't quite make it. I did, however, learn a tremendous amount about this game. I learned about CPA programs and the power of focus. I went to my first affiliate marketing

I'm now at 5 campaigns running right now. I've decided to forgo developing landing pages for the new campaigns and go for direct linking instead. This is meant to test the viability of the products. I have 2 new direct linking campaigns up and 1 that I recently switched to direct linking.The switch was made in order to see if my landing page was the reason for the lack of sales. We will see.

I'm working on it. So far, I have 3 campaigns up and running. I don't have a set number of campaigns that I want to launch. I just want to get as many up as possible. This is the only way to get this to work, in my opinion.I actually have a list of 36 different affiliate product to promote. We will see how things go.I haven't talked to my copywriter in a while. However, I expect to have

I've launched 2 campaigns since last week. The first started off great with4 quick sales and then dried up. The second campaign has had limited traffic and 1 conversion. I'm working on a 3 campaign now which will hopefully be ready to go next week. Is anyone else doing Clickbank this time of year? Are your sales doing well or are people out spending money on physical products for

Yesterday was it. The new product brought in $529.32 over the course of the day!That's crazy talk! That level of income is a bit beyond my comprehension, honestly. I mean, that's half way to a $1000 day.I had been moping about because my job SUCKS and the launch wasn't going as planned. But now, there has been a little lift in my spirits=)I'm almost ready to launch a new affiliate campaign.

And the launch sequence has commenced. People are signing up but not nearly as quickly as I would like them to. Right now I have 294 sign ups. I just created my Adwords Campaign and will need to make a similar one for MSN & Yahoo. I want as many people in this launch as possible.While have I have 3 JV partners I've worked with in the past, only one has made a commitment to promote the product

Rough beyond words. The Business is in the midst of a critical time right now. I won't go into it right now, maybe one day I will tell the story.Anyway, I'm prepping for the product launch now. I've made one of several images that I will need to pass on to my graphics guy.

Yeah, I've decided that putting a particular date on making my jobbie job exit may not be a good idea. To be honest, it stresses me out like you wouldn't believe! Nah. I've decided that I'm just going to work toward goals and make the leap when the time is right.In that vein, I've launched 2 campaigns in the past 3 days. I'm also working on launching my second product. It is in final editing

I finally have time to devote to building campaigns and I end up with a ridiculous headache. Alas.Well, I working on launching 2 new campaigns and tweaking4 others for the next week. With my entrance into PPC Classroom, I may be ending my Google hiatus soon. Soon meaning as we speak. I've launched part of a new search campaign today. We will see what happens.

Things are moving along with the campaigns I launched. I've had one definite loser so far, one showing promise, and a handful of undecideds. I just have to keep launching new ones until something sticks.I'm sure you have heard about PPC Classroom already. It launches tomorrow and yes, this is an affiliate link.

That's what I'm going for at least. I have nearly 16 active campaigns now. Some are generating traffic, some are not. The ones that are not are ones that I have a pretty good feeling about though. I will be making a small site for each of them to see if I can get traffic up.For a long time, I've been focused on sales and conversions. Now, I'm focused on profits. They say you should focus on

I have 3 lined up to launch tonight before bed and I will probably shoot for another before I go to work tomorrow.I could probably have done all of them tonight but my desktop died on me yesterday.

Yes, the mad man is in. I spent most of today working on the Wordpress site/page for another offer that has proven to convert. It took longer than I thought it would because directly copying and pasting the format from the one I completed yesterday created a bunch of errors. Most of the work was troubleshooting.But it is up and ready to go. I have some concerns about my tracking though. I'm

Yes, it is complete and ready to go. All that remains is to retool one of my existing PPC campaigns and start directing traffic to it. I was going to take the rest of the night off but doing the retool is pretty mindless. On top of that, this offer typically doesn't convert on Saturdays but does on Sundays. If I do this now, things will be ready for traffic tomorrow morning. I REAALLLY hope
