A couple of weeks ago I posted about how I was going to track my performance on a daily basis (other than totting up the total profit/loss) so that I have a clear view of where I am going this year. For those that read my last post on this topic and put this on their ‘to-do’ list this year then I strongly suggest that you put everything else on hold and get started.

It was a pain to go through almost 2 and a half months worth of data recording how each campaign did each day but now it’s over I simply have to log the results each day (as I would when I was working out my overall profit per day) and enter them into the spread sheet.

One of the great advantages that I immediately saw was the first page displayed how much I have made this year to date and a break down on how each campaign is performing. A major issue I came across when I was starting new campaigns is that they were losing money here and there which brought my overall profit per day down, this made me act on my emotions and pause anything losing money in order to earn more. In doing this I was losing out on potentially substantial amounts of money if I tweaked the campaigns until they were profitable as I did with my main earners.

At least by using the excel file provided by Cash Tactics I was able to see that my main earners were still performing as good as they were, in fact, they were on a slight increase as time goes by which has given me the motivation to launch new campaigns and work on them even though they are most likely to lose money in the early stages.

I have modified the file slightly on the main front page, I added a column underneath the yearly total which converted it into GBP so I can get a rough idea of the amount I have made in my local currency.
