What’s up? I’m back

I haven’t posted on this blog for quite a while now, even my mom criticized me for it, but I’ve been busy doing other stuff. I’ve had my first ‘good’ month, made around 350$ in November, mostly doing Facebook Ads. I realized that I should take advantage of what I got, which is the ability to speak multiple languages. The international market is huge and there is a lot of untapped potential out there.

I’ve been working at my dads firm for a bit now and I might redo their site and do the SEO for them once their new product comes out. If any of you guys have experience doing SEO for local businesses and what to charge for it please let me know.

On another note I recently discovered that one of the big problems in this whole affiliate industry that there are so many ways to get sidetracked. You can spend an afternoon on wickedfire reading stupid posts that don’t make you any money whatsoever. Another problem as a newbie is that there are so many different ways to make money. You could do local directories, you could do facebook ads, you could do adwords (yeah right ), you could do adsense sites, etc. etc.

It is very easy to start one thing and if it doesn’t work out right from the start go to the next thing. The reason for that is basicallly ‘Magic Pill’-Thinking, you believe that if you found the right formula you’d be rich over night. Last month thaught me though that it basically comes down to work. Launch campaigns and test them. If you launch 10 campaigns a day you are bound to find a winner. So I guess what I’m trying to say I try to stop looking for short cuts and do the work instead.

I also recently bought uBot too and I think it’s a great tool, helps me automate a lot of stuff. I think I will post a few simple tutorials on this blog, like a Twitter Comment Bot or something like that. I still want to learn a ‘real’ programming lanuage like Python or PHP, guess I could read a book about Python over Christmas.

Btw. I still need to buy Christmas presents. Luckily I like going to malls full of people trying to get their christmas gifts… NOT.
