Hustle 2009 – Day 23, Every Penny Counts

Jan 30, 2009 Affiliate Marketing

I have been on the road a lot these past couple of days so I’m looking forward to the weekend. In a  matter of fact I’m thinking about going into work early tomorrow just to get it over. I’m so looking forward to the weekend not just for the rest and relaxation but because I have a site to build and some additional tests that I would like to run.  Lately the affiliate marketing tests have been coming out on the positive end. I mean nothing to quit my job over but it’s nice to have finally not lost money for a change. Don’t laugh when you see my numbers.
Yesterday (Jan 28th) I spent a total of $0.10. Yes that is correct $0.10. Basically I turned on my Google Adwords Campaign and forgot about it because I had so much going on yesterday. It generated 2 clicks but one of those clicks happened to convert @ $0.70, so I made a profit of $0.60, yea I’m a baller now.

Today (Jan 29^th) I spent a total of $0.30 and again generated 2 clicks and converted on one of them @ $1.25 for a $0.95 profit.
Here are some additional details

• Clicks – 2
• Spend -$0.30
• Convert AMT. – $1.25
• Profit – $0.95
• IMP – 72
• CTR – 2.78%

I opened and started a Facebook ad manager account, and I’m going to just say that I don’t know what I’m doing quite yet because it is totally not working for me. So I think I’m going to abandon facebook in regards to advertisement until I understand what I’m doing.
To complete this post I logged into my EBay Affiliate account to pull some numbers and it looks like I happened to have made $1.02 extra on the 28th, hell that’s better than nothing.

Track record as of Jan 29th.
Goal $300.00, and only 8 days left
Ebay Sales – $74.12
Ebay Affiliate Profit – $3.52
NeverBlue Affiliate – $7.15
Sedo – $0.00
