Just a quick post to say I’m back and just about caught up with emails (going through the final few as we speak). I’m sorry if I missed yours, feel free to get back in touch as it wasn’t intentional it’s just I had over 400 sat waiting for me

It was great to have some time away from my computer limiting the amount of work that I can do, with this in mind work wasn’t too far away while I was away. I took my iPod and Sony PRS-505 (eBook reader) with me loaded with some webinars and ebooks related to work which I went through and practically used a whole paper notebook of notes and ideas for things to check into.

Thanks to that my to-do list just about doubled so I have some heavy working sessions comming up to get everything I want done.

The break was actually benficial as it let me think about things without being able to just do them, I’m pretty psyched about getting back into the swing of things.

I had one major set back while I was away, I was always close to emails and stats as I had my iPhone with me so I was checking daily to ensure things ran smoothly. The first week was great, during the second week, I think about 4-5 days from the end my main campaign got slapped it seems and my earnings went from $1,000-$1,500/day profit to $0-$50/day

It sucked but it was a lesson learnt I guess, I’m going to spend this morning/afternoon getting that back on track so that I can finish this month strong. With this happening it reminds me that I’m basising everything on that one campaign pretty much, I need to branch out and work on more things to make it stable. I would rather have 10 campaigns making $100/day than 1 at $1,000/day, this way if one was to die I would only be losing $1,00 profit. Don’t get me wrong it’s great having to only manage 1 campaign but if things don’t go the way you intend it gets messy.

I actually have a couple of ideas that I will be working on outside of PPC affiliate marketing to add other streams of income (hopefully), I will reveal more when I get futher down the line

Another thing I learnt was that I need a backup plan if I’m away and things go wrong again, either take my laptop with me for emergencies or teach someone the basics of how things work so that they can become a short term solution until I get back. I will have to thing that over.

PS – Aprils stats will be posted next week at some point, hopefully Monday & Tuesday if I get time
