Continuing the story

So, I followed the instructions in One Very Simple Idea, I paid for web hosting via Mid Phase and I set up an Adwords campaign exactly as described in the instructions and do you know what?

It WORKED! so far I've spent about $600 in marketing my Adwords and Ive earned about $1000 from commissions so I'm $400 up at the moment! and it's still going!

Then I ran into a few problems. I was using a Capital One credit card and they are a little over Zealous about purchases on the internet so they froze my card whilst I was attempting to purchase my next products.

This took about a week to sort out and then I went on leave for a week and then work got really hectic.

Finally things calmed down enough for me to go on to the next level. Firstly I bought SEO ELITE to enable me to optimise my website for search engines. Next I bought Keyword Elite so that I could analyze what keywords were the best for me to use and allowing me move higher up the search engines.
Finally in this phase I bought Affiliate Elite if I am going to be an affiliate marketer I want to know what my competition is doing and how they are doing it!

It was time to rest on my laurels and read the manuals for the products I had purchased.
I was making money using PPC advertising (though I was sure I could make more) enough to make the minimum payments on both my credit cards anyway and I was looking for my next purchase. More next time........
