4 Reasons To Avoid Emotion-Driven Decisions

So, I revamped my camps on POF yesterday. New ideas (inspired by you lovely folks) that I was sure would absolutely crush.

I set the changes live and proceeded to lose 90% of my spend. Hit my loss stop by 9P and paused everything.

Then I mopped around my house while playing Moonlight Sonata on repeat. I might've cried a little bit...

This morning, I turned the traffic back on. No changes were made. I went to the dashboard a few minutes later and found this:

Of course, this too shall pass. But I'm new enough that this kind of reminder was important for me.

If you're new enough too, I hope this thread comes to mind the next time you want to kill that LP after 30 clicks. Worker bees listen to their hearts. Bawses listen to their data.. and they WAIT for it to start talking.

I might've cried a little bit a few times after bad campaigns. Actually I cry a lot because of big losses on campaigns, but I've gotta stay strong lol.

Stay strong, its all part of the process. The attachment to money will pass, just TRUST the PROCESS. It's the only way forward in affiliate marketing

Tis is ALWAYS true.

You need DATA to make decision. I've told this story 100x but my 1st large campaign i was about to shutdown after spending $20 and making $0 within the first hour, but my friend called me from another room to go out. I forgot about the campaign, got absolutely hammered that night. Wokeup to spending $300 or so and made $600. I then proceeded to moonwalk.
