Blistering Barnacles – Another £50 day!
Last week started off well with my first £50 day but as the week went on things started to dip and on some days I was making a loss on my PPC campaigns but overall, including traffic from SEO sites, I was making a profit. I was tempted to stop the campaigns for fear of making a big loss but thanks to comments posted on this blog I decided to leave them running and see if they turned around over the coming days and weeks.
I was out and about on the weekend so left them running unattended but last night was pleasantly surprised to see I had accumulated £71.11 from sales in through Affiliate Window for Sunday. I quickly checked Adwords to see what my daily spend was and was relieved to see it was only £18.25 leaving me with a grand total of £52.86. I’m still yet to check Amazon as there is a few more hours to wait for the stats to update.
edit: I’ve just checked Amazon and yesterday 46 items were ordered with a rough total of £634 of which 6% is £38 so it looks like I had a £90 day!
There are a few caveats however:
- The timezones between AWin and Adwords don’t match up with Adwords being 8 hours behind Awin so the daily spend doesn’t quite correlate to the daily sales figures. But generally my spend has been about £15 each day so far this week.
- Not all my sales come from PPC traffic so the Adwords spend might not be that profitable. I will be looking at the stats more closely to work out my ROI shortly.
But nevertheless, profit is profit and after going over the stats and tweaking my Adwords campaigns I will leave them running for at least another week.
There are still a few weeks until Christmas so its not to late to get a slice of the Christmas pie if you are prepared to use PPC.
Congrats, man.
I wish I were doying that kind of money.
Yesterday was my best day so fas as an AM. Made £20 which is great for me. And all done by SEO.
20 a day is good. Most days I don’t make that.
If I could keep up the 50 a day it would be amazing but it is very early days.
Nice one Joe, bet that made you smile!
Congratulations Joe! I’ve also had some fantastic days this month (organic SEO) plus I’ve smashed my personal target of £1000 in a month
You’ve inspired me to have another go at PPC which is the only thing I’m going to focus on over Dec. Conversions should be higher than ever in Dec as people are under real pressure to buy in time for the big day
Cheers Darren, yeah I did smile! But tomorrow is another day…
@mac-geek: 1000 in one month, I’d love to be doing that much. Good luck with the PPC, if you have the time to really study it and keep an eye on it I think good money can be made.
