You’re right TeaTree, I just spread myself too thin last month. I spent half of it in hospital, and had good time there. It was harder to work than at home, since people were asking me to help with different stuff etc… So I lost focus and started to dream of something “fast” – and paid traffic is fast. I’d beter spent this 1200$ on SEO, but on the other side, I got a lot of experience and finally had a campaign that was converting daily.

This month I’ll work on 1 new site and improve conversions on other sites that get traffic already.

Hi mate! You’re just 1 page from top 10, I guess you can make it and see some more traffic, which is really product name, hence converting well! I’ve just adjusted my CPA site and switched the offer as the manager advised. I’ll see how new layout performs with CrazyEgg. Talk to you soon Giannis!

Hi Yolanda!

You’re happy to have adwords account, really. This is another opportunity to get traffic. Sure organic traffic is the best passive income, but suppose if you reach your goal, you can afford to play with paid traffic and scale your business tenfold!

My adwords account was banned in December, so I’m now left with Yahoo, Bing and 2-tier PPC, as well as PPV that converts also (I tested this personally).

Wish to achieve a goal of 3000$ of net passive income from organic traffic and I can have some real fun with paid traffic – it’s very interesting since you get traffic instantly and you can play with targetting, landing pages, demographics etc and squeeze really good profits sometimes

Wow, you are a risk-taker! I myself am too cheap to pay for much beyond hosting and domains. I think if I tried anything expensive I’d be so worried that my brain would freeze and I wouldn’t get anything done (not kidding, for some of us, worrying about finance causes us to undeperform, have learnt this about myself through hard experience).

Have you thought about focusing on just one site (your top performer) for a month? It’s easy to spread yourself too thin.

Great income, all told, Anton. And a good lesson, too. I’ve found the same to hold true: lack of focus – lack of success, generally.

Anton,

Every time I try to venture into PPC again, I always get sidetracked. I guess part of me really wants to focus more on free organic search traffic (even if it takes longer) because I know once my website is optimized, I really don’t have to play around with building keyword lists, optimizing my ads, etc.

I swear I need to utilize that money sitting in my Adwords account balance before I go crazy! …I wonder if I could get it back?! lol

Anyways, I’m glad to see you being so honest with your earnings — and even more honest with yourself that you really don’t need all of the tools, memberships, eBooks/courses, etc.

You seemed to be doing just well without spending the excess money, so as the old adage goes: “…if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it…”

Good luck to you this month! I’ll be following along.
