Happy August!
It’s the start of a new month and time for me to start some new advertising campaigns.
I have been holding off on doing any new advertising for a few weeks. Last month I got a really good deal on about a dozen pro memberships on some of the top traffic exchanges. It seems like every time I upgrade on a traffic exchange I ending surfing twice as much so I can feel like I am getting my money’s worth. That’s where most of my time has been spent last month.
Today I decided it was time to dip into my PayPal account and spend some of the money I made last month. Here’s what I got…
Advertising Know How: List Builder Mega Pack $60 – I started using AKH’s free list builder in June and have been very happy with it. I’ve been hearing good things from people who have bought list builder credits so I thought I would give it a try. Looking forward to seeing how many sign-ups I can get in the next 30 days.
HitsConnect: Partner Membership $12 – I have put off getting a HitsConnect membership for awhile since I have been using free link trackers for years. However, HitsConnect has a few cool features I have been wanting like the ability to track sign-ups so I figured i’d give it a shot. Looks good so far. The fun part was changing my urls in 50+ traffic exchanges. I better like it because I don’t feel like changing them all back if I decide to quit. Maybe that’s why it is so popular. Hmmm…
TE Blaster: Mega Blast $90 – My first advertising co-op! Seems a little expensive to me but it’s all part of my master plan to get more traffic while doing less work. I’ll be tracking the results with HitsConnect so i’ll know next month if it was worth the money.
TS25: Platinum Membership $25 – I have been neglecting TS25 for awhile. I think it’s one of the best traffic exchanges around but I also think it’s only worth surfing if you surf it a lot. The way I see it, if I am going to spend that much time on a traffic exchange, I might as well go with a premium membership. Look for me on the leader board starting next week.
ebay: Pioneer DV-C503 $40 – Ok, this isn’t directly related to advertising. My dvd player died 2 months ago and I’ve been watching movies with my ps2 since then which kinda sucks. I found the exact same model of my old 5-disc player on ebay today for $40 shipped so I grabbed it. Figured I deserved to spend a little money on something fun.
That’s it for today. I still have some money left over to buy a bunch of solo ads. I’ll worry about that next week.
