Who has NOT taken action yet? (22)

Who has NOT taken action yet?

I just want to get a feeling around the community on how many members have not taken action on any guides.

By taking action, I don't mean testing $10 for one idea. I mean fully giving a campaign from a guide a fair shot.

This is not intended to tell off anyone.

I'm purely just curious on how people have been taking in the info given.

Hands up! I know there are some guilty parties!

well, I guess I will raise my hand.

I have read the guides and I understand them, but I have not taken 1 of the guides here and did a campaign based on that guide itself. Too busy running my own campaigns to test out new ones.

If by taking action on a guide, you mean, copying the same offer, targeting, etc... then no...but I have used the information in the guides as a sort of stepping stone to help out my own campaigns.

I havenn't that is because I waiting for my server to get up, I wouldn't copy any campaign step by step I liked the FB toolbar guide interested something you can def scale with small media buys.

I have taken too many action and too many fails. Almost bankrupt. -$4k in the past couple of months

Ive been taking action but not getting the type of returns i expected with the information given. I've spent close to 5k on POF and had a measly 31% return. Im trying to get into new traffic sources currently but there isnt too much info on here outlining running a campaign on admob for example.

Did you say measly 31 ROI??

My goal for any campaign is always 20% ROI... in fact you inspired me to write a new thread about ROI.

Thanks bruuu

I would kill for 1% ROI

I will say I absorbed information for about 2 months on here before starting to try testing campaigns. Yes, I should have started earlier, it was just more of a comfort thing with me. I'm much more comfortable now.

I have

I've been testing coreg campaigns! I wasn't a couple months ago.

I've spent $5610 and I believe and I'm on my second profitable campaign.

I'm all in. Had my first $500+ day this week. I'm launching 5-10 Facebook campaigns a day, and getting in a good groove of optimizing the winners and killing the losers. I've gotten 1 international dating campaign currently at a $1.07 EPC (<< that's a 7-day average). I'm feeling good about FB.

PPV is kicking my butt though. I REALLY want to figure out how to make it work. The co-reg webinar was very inspiring to me. (Thanks Dan Henry!) I may jump into that and give it a go.

I would have to include myself in your group, as I have limited my daily spending on my offers to 15-20 bucks, don't have the cash for the needed testing. Not arguing it if it is need or not, just don't have it.

Lots of action and tips learnt, but I need to breakout and take a spread into PPV with wide speaking offers, plus run some more Facebook stuff

I've gotten back into Facebook advertising, which I've ignored for the past year or so.

I have been concentrating on ppv and I am down to $40 from my $1000 - roughly $400 in revenue made. Kinda stuck now.

I'm just concentrating on POF. Read and re-read all threads concerning POF and tried the ideas out myself. CTR jumped from avg of .1-.13 to .231, highest .541. BUT direct link campaigns are raping my butt and i cant get the landers tracking to work properly. If not i guess with that kinda ctr i'll be in the green

09-24-2011 05:14 AM #18 zeno (Administrator)

I took action and raped my bank account. Now waiting for cashflow to get going so I can get my hustle back on.

If your spending a bit too much on testing, try holding back a bit more for each test. It's not the best option, but its better then cleaning out your funds

Trying to find a solution to a problem of "How do I make more?" is a a good problem to have. Don't give up just cause the percentage is not what you dreamed of, it's real money in your bank account at the end of the month. Find a way to grow your business! Don't walk away from something that's already profitable. Stay with it, the more you do it the more ways you'll discover to increase that percentage and the actual dollar figure.

I've been on here a few days and already began incorporating ideas into my campaigns. I was profitable before I came here and I'm looking for ways to increase the dollar amount at the end of the day, week, month, and of course year. The ideas that I'm picking up here seem great and showed some good results, but it's still to early to brag or say anything negative it's only been a few days. However, I've gotten great ideas on which directions to take my campaigns, and I know I'll be able to make it work regardless of initial results.

I'm still getting to know the biggest guys here, but thank you Mr.Green, Stackman, and there are a few other guys who's posts I found invaluable right from the get go.
