Money Talk: Don't Make MY Mistake. Good Tips Today...
Published: Sat, 10/24/15
I was making an EASY $3-5k per month (on the side!) back in 2004 - and then I quit. I was using Google Adwords. I got disgusted with some of their advertising policy changes and just let it all go. Silly of me, I know... but I think we all make decisions like that sometimes. Right?
Fast forward 10 years later, and I'm finally over my aversion (lol) and ready to put that EASY INCOME back in motion!
As you probably know, this weekend I am mastering Facebook Ads. It's my TOP priority. Then I'm going to move back into Adwords with the best performing campaigns after I test, and analyze my audiences - which Facebook is an awesome tool for.
See why: http://www.clicknewz.com/13254/facebook-advertising/ (lol!)
** I forgot how much I LOVE this kind of work!!
Are there things you quit doing - for some silly reason, like me - that could really benefit your business if you started doing it again?
What have you quit, avoided, or not even started... over an annoyance or emotional aversion?
Find your passion for it, and get back on a roll!
I can't believe it took me a decade+ to get over such a minor annoyance, and how much money I LOST over an emotional decision. Seriously. That said, I'm not one for regrets. I'm all about making a decision, moving forward, and making things happen.
What's holding YOU back?
Get over it, and get in profit with something fun!
By the way, if you're worried about me working on a weekend... see this picture. LOL :-)
Fortunately my free/organic marketing methods work exceptionally well.
My organic/free marketing methods work SO well in fact, that I haven't needed paid ads. Thank goodness! lol :) I've been working online more than 18 years, and it's my sole source of income, so I'm glad I didn't just throw in the towel over "the changes". That would have REALLY been silly.
It's very smart to have a strong organic / passive marketing & revenue base that doesn't require constant tweaking & management (like paid campaigns do). Then when you do paid advertising, it's a BONUS traffic & income stream - not something you're dependent on.
I also like teaching the free/easy ways, as you already know. I like to keep it easy for anyone just getting started. I mentioned that recently in an email, which you can still see here. You can see my free/organic marketing strategies that WORK, and work VERY well, there.

There is TONS of potential for business building & profit with Facebook right now though... which really appeals to me. And I do miss the fun and the challenge of Adwords. It was such a great time! So I'm having a blast digging into the finer details of Facebook Advertising right now.
I'm totally geeking out on it actually. :)
I really struggled trying to learn it though - until I got my hands on the text files, as I mentioned in this (funny) blog post the other day:
http://www.clicknewz.com/13254/facebook-advertising/
I have made more progress in fast time just having these PDF files, than I have in weeks on end - months? - of having access to the video course. It's such amazing information!! It's all about having the right format to learn it, so I can actually dig in and implement on the fly.
That's a great marketing lesson:
Reach your audience in a variety of formats and mediums. ;-)
Here are some cool take-aways for today:
* Don't let annoyances and aversions stop you from being successful.
...I think that's referred to as shooting yourself in the foot. :)
* Set up a solid business base that runs automatically, even when you're away. It's worth investing your time into. It's what allows me to have an amazing lifestyle!
* Don't get stuck in ONE method of business or marketing. Methods and strategies change - a lot. Don't put yourself in a position where a single update could tank your business, or your main stream of income.
... referred to as: don't put all your eggs in one basket. :)
* Use a lot of variety in your content and product types (and formats) to increase your reach, and to best serve your market - in a way that gets them seeing RESULTS.
(Any smart business owner knows... your business THRIVES on an actively engaged market that is seeing positive results!)
- Last but not least, Facebook is HOT right now. Whether you're running engaging Pages or active Groups, or tapping into the insane potential of Facebook Ads - it's HOT.
I hope this note finds you having a great weekend. :) I am! I also hope you enjoyed the tips & takeaways, and the freebies. On that note, here are some more free social media marketing tips for you: http://www.clicknewz.com/13250/social-media-marketing/

I haven't been THIS excited about something in my business in quite awhile. And that's saying a lot, because I truly love my work. This kind of motivation and inspiration, the kind that spurs hyper-productivity, is hard to come by though... ;-)

On the flip side, Facebook Ads WORK - not just for business owners, but I mean: they work... ON me. That tells me something: that I should be tapping into that!! Here's a great example (below), and just one of many - because I've spent THOUSANDS after clicking on their highly intuitive targeting - and yes, I'm now flight searching and shoe shopping. Fun! :)
