Excellent Book
 


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.

if 6 posts and a couple of failed campaigns is distressing enough to want to kill yourself, perhaps you need a new industry - shoprite customer service desk maybe?

Burn'ded. :rasta:

Seriously though, not everyone makes it in the AM arena. Maybe you should get a job at least until you can build a sustainable bottom line.
 
Gotta get use to the ups and downs of this business. I've been doing it full time for the past 2 years, part time for about 4 years before that. I hate when its down, I'm sure everyone does, but I'm learning to deal with it.

I'm in the same position as you, plenty in savings but not making anything for the past month or 2, it drives me crazy just like you. You can't worry too much about it though because this has happened to me lots and lots of times before and it has always turned around with my persistence. Maybe take a break, but don't give up.

This is probably a rare situation but maybe it can at least give you a little inspiration, I'm not sure...Early last year I was making really good $ but everything fell apart for a few weeks in Feb. I was busting my ass trying to find a solution day after day, and told my friends I couldn't go on spring break in mid-march (because I didnt want to spend $ on stuff like that when I wasn't earning). Like 5 days before they were leaving I said screw it and I booked my flight and went with them cause I was too frustrated to sit in front of my computer any longer.

So one morning we were just hanging out by the pool, and an idea popped up in my head that was a possible solution to the problem that had put a hold on my income. I ran up to my hotel room, did an hour worth of work on my laptop and went back out to hang out with them for the rest of the day. I made more $ that day than I ever have in a day before, and probably spent less time than I have working any other day.

Moral of that story is once you're frustrated as hell, walk away, go on vacation, do whatever will take your mind off stuff. You never know, maybe once you stop trying to think of ideas, you'll run into one.
 
Good advice phil,

Ditching out for a bit is the best thing to do when you run out of ideas - you just gotta venture out and bring some completely new ideas back with you.
 
Well,
Killing yourself isn't the best thing to do here...is it?
Keep it as a last resort..

It shouldn't be ANY resort. Killing yourself is weaksauce, especially over something so pointless. There's always solutions to whatever problems you're facing, and there's always someone somewhere who is worse off than you.

This has been a MyOwnDemon Public Service Announcement.
 
Damm it - since you've said your going to kill yourself we have to report it or we go to jail when you break the law by offing your self.

Sigh.... Jon better report this thread to the local authorities or Clickbooth will :)

ON A MORE SERIOUS NOTE:

You said you spent hours and hours promoting things. What type of actual structure have you built? Sounds like you aren't doing PPC - so you need some flipping structure, a plan, or something.

Go read Eli's blog (seoempire part 1,2), Come read mine. Hell go buy an ebook :) (Kidding) --- but the point is it sounds like at the end of this month you will be saying the same thing because you are bouncing all over the place. Spend just a few hours reading and learning - then get the hell out of the forums and blogs. Get out a pad of paper (dang - so 80's) and come up with a plan.

Then research topics.

Then research some keywords.

Then do something - build it bigger, better, stronger, faster.....

Or watch the Secret, look for your higher power, visualize the money, and come back and bitch next month :)

Jokes, but really.

Everyone goes through a spell like this. It is tough, but eventually you will get out of it. Start by thinking positive.

: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.

bluebobbo, your avatar is so full of win. omgwtfbbq.
 
speaking of. What was that blog with that lady that would kill herself in 90 days? Any updates? Has she accepted Jesus as her lord and savior yet?

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?

Thats the dumbest shit I have ever heard
 
"She made the site as an art project, figuring only some friends would see it because people usually aren't drawn to dramatic stories on the Internet"

uh. oooook.
