Counting Down To The End Of April
TS Elliot was right: April is the cruellest month, at least it has been the cruellest so far this year. In fact, April was absolutely vicious towards me in some ways. I am looking forward to May and hope it will bring a fresh start and some changes for the better.
Two days to go until it ends but what should have been my most profitable month so far is likely to turn out to be the least profitable. I won't say I don't mind, that wouldn't be true but I don't mind as much as I might because I know what the problems were and what I did wrong. The main problem was Easter and everyone says Easter and the spring public holidays cause a major slowdown online so I know I was not the only one suffering but that only helped a little. If I had thought ahead, indeed if I had realised how badly the holidays would affect traffic, I would not have spent so much on advertising on high traffic websites, I would have concentrated on PPC but hindsight is always a wonderful thing. The month started off so well - steadily increasing until I hit my biggest single day's profits so far. Pity it all went downhill from then on, but things have been moving again for the last week and I had another record profit day. Now I'm trying to find out why profits fluctuate and how to keep up to the high levels.
Then, to round off a bad month, I really messed up my PPC experiment and ended up paying for a lot of useless clicks. Should have reduced the daily budget cap when I was testing the new keywords. Silly, silly. Still, a lesson was learned and I won't be doing that again. Thank goodness for SFI and Empowerism, at least they are still being good to me.
