PPC-Coach

I'm writing a module on this now for one of my sites and have a couple ideas on this topic, but newbies sometimes ask this question. SO I figured why not have the experienced guys and gals here answer it.

I'll start.

1.) When I first started, I wish I knew how many attempts it took to find a profitable campaign. I thought that everytime I launched it was supposed to work. I mean I saw guys doing it and succeeding left, right and center, so why didn't my ONE attempt work? The answer is it takes about 10 to 20 campaigns to find a winner. Newbies usually stop at 1 or 2, then move onto trying to find the next magic bullet.

2.) Videos that show campaigns making $12 profit can calling them $4,500 per year campaigns even though it was one day and 3 sales later. I just saw a "free campaign giveaway" today for a site that was just brutal. The guy did a facebook campaign, got 3 sales, made $12.32 and called it a $4,500 dollar campaign somehow? Give me a break. The campaign ran ONE day. Talk about pushing it. What a complete load of garbage. I wish I knew back then that these guys talking about these numbers were either making them up completely or using things like "$4,500 per year" campaigns when it really only did 12 and some change.

3.) I wish I knew that putting together a real campaign actually takes time. Newbies are constantly pushed the "make $1,000 per day doing 2 minutes of work" b.s. that they really believe it's true. I've made millions in my career so far and I've done it because I work my ass off. Whether it's one of my training sites or one of my campaigns. I put real time and effort into it. Now if I'm launching a real long term campaign on Google Adwords, it takes me a MONTH to get the landing site ready/indexed and ready for the ppc campaign. Nobody tells you that part though. They say direct link and you'll be fine...WRONG.

I've got more but my fingers hurt now...anybody else got some things they wish they knew back when they started?

I wish I knew that any system has a learning curve.

Focus is the most important thing in this business. If I asked you what were you working on 2 weeks ago? And one month ago?, what would you answer me? If that's not the same thing that you are working on now maybe you are just jumping from one system to another without putting your focus on something and sticking on it for enough time.

Any system has a learning curve and you need to accept this fact if you want to make more than just a coplue of bucks here and there. Choose soemthing, take action and keep focused on your system until you master it and start getting results. Do it and you will be a full-time internet marketer sooner than you think.

I wish I knew that 99.9% of what everyone on the Internet emails you or tries to lure you into is usually 110% B.S.
