So I popped my PPC cherry
- Thread starter Sharksfan
- Start date
Could be worse. My worst was mis-setting my bids and losing $900 with 1 conversion ... for $1.45.
Weeee!!!!
The only thing that would have been more priceless is if they kicked me off the offer for low lead quality.
Well, they're not SinglesNet though. F SN.
Hey you gotta start somewhere - probably would have been better to set your caps at $30 per day and run the content network at a moderately low bid. But hey- how would a new person know what that even means?
bro when i was really fresh meat i was trying to push a clickbank product and i thought i put the bids for .10 on adwords and then left it on all night and in the morning i had 20,000 impressions and 700 clicks and spent around 800~. I literally shitted in my pants cause my debit card only had $200 in it :'(
This is a really great thread because I'm often beating myself up thinking of the mistakes I've made. But the truth is, you got me all beat. My errors were relatively small and discovered quickly. I guess a long list of mistakes is a part of the process.
Yeah - on MSN and Yahoo. Didn't go with Google because I wanted to more or less practice/test on the lower volume networks plus I could direct link.
Going to be running on Google once I get the lander, etc, finished.
Congrats. You have just entered the elite 5% of people on marketing and webmaster forums that have lost money (aka done something).
Profitability is not so far away since you have already overcome the first hurdle of falling off the horse and wanting to get back on again.
People need to look at this as buying data, not "losing" money.
I swear to god, the better you get at failing (and learning why) the more money you will make.
Fail often.

Heh I fail so many times at the bazillion tasks I attempt daily that I don't even notice anymore except to mark it as a way not to invent a lightbulb.
Because when it finally does come together...DAMN.
Forget failure, just make sure your fortitude and tenacity are in check.
