Be The Black Night - Lessons From The Frying Pan

King Arthur: [after Arthur's cut off both of the Black Knight's arms] Look, you stupid Bastard. You've got no arms left.
Black Knight: Yes I have.
King Arthur: *Look*!
Black Knight: It's just a flesh wound.

It Was A Black Knight

I lost power last night. I was not prepared. It was a 30 degrees late night WalMart run to get candles and flashlights.

I was not alone.

Just part of the heard again.

When will I learn?

Thank You Google

Ya, I am still banned and dealing with it.

There is a total freedom of not having to deal with AdWords. I am looking at different traffic and different search engines. I am looking at those new things with fresh eyes. My god, how blackhat are some of those other search engine results? Too funny.

Please, go and look at the things you are advertising on Google and take that to another search engine..look at the results. You think you have an edge? Someone has taken your "edge" and taken it to a new level. Check it out. Get some new ideas.

Be Prepared

I was not prepared for the blackout last night. I was not prepared for being banned from AdWords..Are You?

How much of your traffic depends on Google?

How much of your income depends on Google?

How much of your skills are just from Google? How fast can you put up another campaign on another search engine?

Do you have the tools and training to go to another search engine right now? You will realize really quick how good the interface and tools Google has are really good. You are spoiled..and..believe me..the other engines are not as user friendly as Google.

You are soft if you are just doing AdWords. I am.

I am sure most of you already are on other search engines. If not..Why Not?

Start now.

Be prepared.

Be The Black Knight

I am not a really big Monty Python fan. Monty Python is funny..but..I think most of the fans really only thought it was funny because their friends thought is was funny. Python may not be as funny if you are not inebriated or you have a different set of friends now.

The Black Knight duel is my favorite. The Black Knight will not give up. Watch the video.

I have always thought of myself as that type of person..the Black Knight..it is a lie. I am not that type of person. I have been kicked down before and left a dream (wish list) job because I was not strong enough to adapt to a different game.

I left.

I crawled away and left a good part of me there..somewhere else.

My life got worse..totally self created.

I love Pay Per Click

I regret leaving my other job. The game with my other job (career!) had changed in so many ways. I was smart to leave when I did. The money was not there..but..long term..I am not sure about my decision.

So many great things happened after I left my job. I do not regret those things..and..with my other job..I was such a dick..seriously..it was not a sustainable lifestyle.

I love PPC. I am not leaving this time. Google by kicking my ass out of AdWords did me a favor. I am comitted to PPC. I love my lifestyle now. I love learning.

I was just starting to hit a little bit of a stride with AdWords. I am lazy. I am fat. I expected Google to feed me for the rest of my life.


Three Quick Lessons From the Frying Pan

Different Traffic
Weed Out Your Gurus
Continuity Programs

One

Think of different traffic..different sources.

Start with Gauher's Chaudhry's report "The Insiders Guide to CPA Marketing Profits" (click here). This will help you look at other traffic. It is a great free report. See what feels right to you and your personality right now.


Two

Let me say this about Gauher. I emailed him the day after I was banned from AdWords and asked him for advice..he emailed me an HOUR later and helped me with some great FREE advice.

He posted in his forum about people being banned. There were more than a few who were banned the same day. I did not feel alone. That was an incredible feeling.

See if your "guru" will write you back. Gauher did.

Here is a test for you. You know that guru that you are on his/her continuity program each month..write them. Anything. Just write them. See if they will answer you questions. If they do not respond..drop them. Drop them hard. I did. Gauher was not the only one I wrote. Gauher was the only one who answered.

Weed out your gurus.

Three

Promote continuity programs.

I am amazed that money is still coming in right now while I am learning some new things. Make sure to add continuity programs to your mix of what you are promoting.

Enough of Your Problems, Moen!..More Free Line!

Done.

Back to Bidness.

Commission Payload is in pre-launch right now.

I have no idea about the product. None.

I have heard of the creators before..Alex Goad and Saj P..and..seen one of them for sure on a JV leader board.

They are giving away a lot of stuff. I have to say..it was more than I expected. I really liked their report "AdWords BullsEye Profit Report". The report is for new people that are starting..and..I know intermediate people will really like it. Download the report Click here.

There are three campaigns that they include and are really good as part of the report. I promoted one of the campaigns they use as an example a little while back (let's just say you can not trademark bid on that campaign..who knew?) and it is a really good example.

The next report they have out "Borneo Profits" (I am kinda somehow liking the title of the report..I know I should not..kinda lame..but..) I hate to admit it..but..I really like this report.

I have always wondered how to start a campaign around Google Hot Trends. This report will show you how they do it. I really like it. This is a really good free line even if you do not use it at all. You should see how it is being done and apply it/the idea of it to another campaign. Go to the link above and sign up for that and they will send you this report.

Again, I do not know about Commission Payload..the free line is really good.

That Reminds Me

You know..I love the free line.

I was kinda disappointed with Eric Rockefeller's free line. I am going to be a buyer tomorrow of Aggressive Wealth Secrets (click here). I think the product will be better than what has been given out.

If you are not a buyer now..email me later and I will tell you what I think about the course.

That Reminds Me Part Deux

Hey..all of the links are affiliate links.

I buy many of the things I promote (too many?).

I am pointing you to links that I promote. If you like the product and do not like the fact that I am making a commission..I totally get that. Please, take off my affiliate tracking ID. If you have no idea how to do that..write me..twitter me..something. We can change that.

If you ever feel weird about buying something from this blog..write me..I will help you any way I can.
