Ok it’s Friday, here are some thoughts for you guys:
Ever heard of Jean Paul Sartre?
He was a French philosopher, other than that I don’t really know too much about him. Anyways, he believed that people become confused or uncertain when faced with too many choices. The more choices we have in front of us the more paralyzed we become by our own anxiety. “When we are faced with too many options a confused mind will do absolutely nothing!” Is this you?
When I started out in affiliate marketing, this was me. Even sometimes now, I have so many ideas in my mind or campaigns I want to test out, sometimes I can spend an entire day active but not productive. What has helped me is writing down a to do list every night, what I want to accomplish the next day. Nothing big, just small tasks I know I can most likely get done. Example: Make new landing page for X Ad group, setup outsourcing project for web content, upload remaining keywords to Y campaign, move Z campaign from adwords to Yahoo and MSN, etc…
Optimizing Your Headlines
I listened to a great webclinic put on by Marketing Experiments about the importance of headlines. If you struggle with headlines, this is a good intro in writing effective copy as well as a a good refresher course on how headlines can help or hurt your business. Here is the link.
Develop Your Own Niche
Chad over at CDF Networks made a good post, about how to use your skill of marketing and paid search to create your own niches. I’ve actually thought about this before, good to see someone actually putting it into action. This is something I’ll have to just write down on my future to do list!

US Economy Kaput?
I love to follow the equity and currency markets and read a handful of blogs about various financial topics. If you’re into this take a look at the following article Treason at the US Treasury about the takeover of Fannie and Freddie. Interesting read. Either way I hope you guys are protecting all those PPC profits you’re making I’m pretty pessimistic on the US economy & the dollar overall.
Great advice! Having too many goals, without a defined starting point can be confusing. Making a list every night or every morning will help you to narrow down the scope of what you’re trying to accomplish. Thanks for posting!
