Serious topic.

You see, this month I haven't made a single penny. I spent hours and hours working on promoting affiliate products and ebay stuff but not a single dollar.

Not making money is depressing me. I'm not in debt and I still got money in the bank but this shit is just ARGGGGGGGGGG.

Perhaps I should kill myself while listening to Rick Roll.

On a more positive note, any advice on how to keep positive is appreciated.

Normally I don't vent online but I'm reaching end's rope.

Ups and downs are really part of the biz. I've been there and back sooo many times(not always in PPC, but sometimes other things). Stick with it, and figure out WHY your approach isn't working. Don't just move on to the next and hope to get lucky.
I PMed you some contact info. Hit me up, and I'll help out if I can.

:xomunch:


I failured like 100 times last year.

If you saw a screenshot of my old campaigns you'd laugh how many I have that are deleted... And that's just Adwords... I had multiple AdCenter accounts as well as multiple Yahoo accounts.
 
Firstly, you have no idea how tempting it is to try and rick roll you. I wonder what states would consider that manslaughter. Can't spell it without laughter, har har.

Anyways. Everyone starts off slow. This time last year I was barely making adsense pennies. I tried about nine gazillion different things, got pissed and frustrated, even quit working on IM entirely for two month long (or longer) periods. So, you're not alone. You just have to keep your nose to the grindstone.

Not sure what your particular situation is, but here's what keeps me motivated. Whenever I get up in the morning and don't feel like doing anything (or worse, go to bed feeling like everything I did all day didn't mean shit, though that happens less more recently - but believe me, I spent many nights that way) here's all I have to do.

I think about my boss at my old office job. I hated that fucking asshole more than you could understand - I'd sit at my desk and think of all the different ways you could kill a man with a paperclip. "Strychnine in the guacamole" style. Cheers if you know what I'm referencing there.

So...think about how much better your life will be if your job consists of relaxing at home in front of your own computer doing INTERESTING things for your own benefit, while all your moron friends are out making eight bucks an hour to kiss someone else's ass.

Hit me up if you need someone to bounce ideas off of. I love discussing this industry. And no, I'm not just saying that because you're (supposedly) a chick. Though it doesn't hurt, because I'm straight, even though I post on this here gay webmaster forum. Sorry Jelf, it's just not going to work out.
 
Atleast you spent those hours and hours being productive. I'm lazy and I hate it, even with the thought of bills and not being able to get a 9-5. I just don't push myself as much as I should. There is a bunch of trial and error in this business. I know it can get frustrating knowing everybody else seems to be making money and making it sound so easy. You see the EPC's on your network and know people are raking it in. Trust me I understand how you feel. Just keep learning and trying and don't give up.

Hey, I've been there. Two days till rent is due, and 5$ in change, no $ in the bank. I'm spiritual though, so I pray... we've always made it despite the odds and I have to credit God. Might give him a try, what's it gonna hurt?
 
totally fucked up..

I'm having a rough time too. Mostly my problem is staying focused enough to finish anything. Stick it out, fellow loser!

Other than one's sensibilities, you mean?

Look everyone, how the religious prey on the weak and desperate. :repuke:

We've already established that he's working hard right? So why not?

Does it in some way infringe on your personally? Or are you just offended personally?

Ok, then next time you are rolling in dough, send up a sincere prayer and see what happens.

Better?
 
1.) Research
2.) Creativity
3.) Execute
4.) Track
5.) Rinse
6.) #3 #4 #5

If you keep failing, consider other professions as they'll probably be more profitable. Time is of value and if you keep wasting time, your value will decrease perpetually.

I'm not trying to give you a negative approach towards your current situtation but the option that is of reality than fiction.

How about you just get the fuck out, zealot. :thefinger:

Pfft. I get to express my opinions if you do. You'll also notice I said 'spiritual' not 'religious'. I've never heard of a spiritual zealot; religious, yes - and they are all over the fucking place.
