Most $$$ You Lost in One Day!!

24 replies
Hi All,

I lost recently $25 on facebook doing PPC. I also lost money several times buying fake PR domains.

What is the maximum money anyone has lost in one day doing IM and where?

Please share so others can learn and avoid.

Thanks

      But, TIME=MONEY

      Therefore, YOU CAN EARN MONEY WITHOUT USING MONEY.

    Well this brings back a slight bit of heartache but a while back I made $1100 in about 3 hours on the foreign exchange market. The following day I lost $2300 after getting cocky.

    Moral of the story, don't be a tw@.

    I lost easily about $2000 in domain names (within the space of a few days). I took a "twist" on a program I'd seen on WF about renting out websites to other businesses (to drive traffic to thier businesses for them), and thought I'd be cute and invest in getting a unique domain name for each of my 60 categories. Then I bought several variations, as well, thinking I'd just CONQUER the search engines and get all of these sites up and running AND drive business to them before the year was up. Boy, was I over-confident in my own abilities!! Long story short....they all expired because I couldn't afford to renew them. D'OH!!
    Surely I win the "stupid award" for this one?? :p

    No more than $500 on a stock trade and a few hundred a piece on bogus campaigns that failed.

    Can't say that I've lost more than a couple of bucks here and there.. But I made a deal with a former client about 6 months ago.. Since we had done business several times before I delivered everything before I got the money. ($500) Long story short, I gave him what he asked for & I didn't get paid.

    That's me in a nutshell. I trust everyone to be honest.. And Shazaam! *nothing happens*

    You lose money every time you buy a product that you never use... and I am sure most of us have been there. So for me that was around $500 if memory serves. I also went through and blitzed subscriptions to everything I wasn't using or didn't really need and that saved me several hundred dollars a month so I suppose you could classify that as an 'ongoing loss' at the time.

    Money spent testing with paid traffic I do not classify as a 'loss' as that is the point of it and you can ramp up what is working.

    I was dabbling in flipping sites a long while back, and decided I would buy a couple of sites then sell them for more down the line. I bought a fitness related blog without putting much thought into it for around $700. I found it really hard to monetize it and keep the traffic flow, and I ended up selling it for less than a third of the price I bought it for.

    Actually, way back in the early days in the mid-2000's, I didn't know any better and got completely scammed. I lost $150 or so (if I remember right) on a site that was supposed to get me tons of traffic for my website, and it was guaranteed.

    The crazy thing is the level of detail the website actually went into describing the whole process of how they supposedly did it. They made it sound very technical, cutting edge, and believable.

    Looking back at it years later I've realized there were definitely warning signs but I was so green back then.

    lol. couple of times. Once on a forex trading platform, because I forgot to set my limits.

    Then again on ppc cause I forgot to reduce my limits before going on vacation and I would be away from the computer, Yeah before too many smart phones.

    How much, between both more than a couple of thousand but won't say exact figures, embarrassed enough to say what I did lol.

    I will tell you this though, I have never made those mistakes again.

      I had adwords down. What I didn't have was an autoresponder in place.

      The site I was directing people to (from my site) got too much traffic and crashed.

      People were coming to my site, going to go buy the product, and product site was down. They would come back to my site but I was not collecting their names. If I had collected them I could have directed them back to the offer when the site got fixed back up.

      Hard to say how much was lost. Surely was a few hundred from running the ad, but likely a LOT MORE as I lost future conversions.

      It's funny how fast you learn how to set up an autoresponder when this happens.
