I Wish you all the best .

That is pretty awesome stuff and holding yourself accountable is hugely important. Wishing you the best of luck.


Your goals seem very reasonable, which is important. You need to start somewhere right. In my opinion, the most difficult part is gettign over those initial barrier. The first two weeks are the hardest. Once you clear that, then earning your first profitable campaign is the next barrier. Then momentum shifts onto your side and its all about taking your modest campaigns to the next level.


The good thing is that you are full of information, so now the goal becomes putting that information to use. You said you purchased every CPA WSO out there and you have been on this forum for a real long time. So, I have no doubt that you have the knowledge necessary to make serious things happen.

You know that taking action on that knowledge is the next step. You know that. Actually doing it is monumentally more important and I have confidence that you will strap down and make it happen.


As for your PPC campaigns, here is one pointer...which you probably know, but for others' sake and perhaps for yours, here goes.




TEST SMALL - MOST WILL FAIL, BUT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR THAT ONE CAMPAIGN WITH POTENTIAL TO RAMP UP INTO SOMETHING HUGE

the goal of testing is to find those little nuggets. Dont waste your hard earned capital throwing good money into bad campaigns. You need to spend money on small tests to see if there is potential in a given campaign and for the majority of campaigns, there wont be...



ANALOGY TIME

Let me see if I can come up with a fishing analogy. Lets say you go to a pond, you have a pack of worms. You throw a bunch of worms to the surface of the water and all the fish come up to the surface and eat the worms you threw out. Guess what, you just wasted a lot of worms. But that's okay, you got to see the potential of the fish in the pond. There were no big fish in the pond after all.

You proceed to another pond and again you throw a handful of worms into the water. All the fish come to the surface for some free lunch. Again, there were no big fish in the pond. You wasted another perfectly good handful of worms, but you got to see that there were no big fish in that pond either. Of course, we are only looking to fish for the big fish!

Okay, so you realize that in order to catch a big fish, you need to go to a yet another pond. Okay you find another pond, you throw out a handful of works, and all the fish come to the top for a free lunch. Bam, you see your fish...its a big juicy, huge largemouth bass. Perfect. You now know that you should focus the rest of your fishing efforts on that third pond because you know theres a big fish in this one.

If you spent your day fishing in the first or second pond, you would have went home without a big fish because there were none in that first pond. But, in order to know that, you had to throw away perfectly good worms in both of them.



Stupid analogy, but you get the point. When doing PPC, you need to do small tests and most will fail. This is like throwing the perfectly good worms into the first and second pond. You lost worms and money, but it was a small test to see if that pond was even worth fishing in.

Finally in the third pond, you saw that there was a big fish in the pond, so you had to throw away 3 perfectly good handfuls of worms to know where to fish.

If you spend the day in the third pond, there is a good chance you will come home with a big fish. Its not 100% certain but at least you are now throwing fishing in the right pond



Not gonna lie, this is one of my better analogies haha. But you get the point guys. You throw a lot of good money away when testing PPC campaigns, so you need to do small tests to really find out which campaigns to focus the rest of your money on. I would rather focus the rest of my day fishing in pond 3 than in pond 2

Better put it in your sig so that if the thread dies as most journal threads do, people will still know where to find it.

evarda;

I Wish you all the best too.

Hi, I just sign up for the forum and this forum has great stuff. I am a beginner in IM and I am really glad to see so many ppl who is sharing and giving valuable information.
Evarda, I am glad to check on your thread and I am looking forward to know more on how to get a successful CPA done.
Great job and will talk more.

I like your 30days plan
So far I haven't try free method yet (yes, I know I shouldn't omit it)
because firstly i'm impatience, I just want fast results.
I jumped into PPC straight, with some 'tier 2' network (aside from the big 3 PPC).
Since then I getting positive results
But I definitely will focus on free traffic after I get comfortable with my CPA earning

Congratulations of finally getting started! Nothing wrong with building a strong base so you can hit the ground running. I like your goals, just remember that if you don't hit them don't give up. Keep plugging away at it until something works. If you work hard and smart enough at something IT WILL WORK! Good luck bud and keep us posted!
