No, the orders haven’t come pouring in, and I haven’t jetted off to some distant island. What’s happened is summer has struck in full strength, and my time has been spent setting up and filling a pool.
I’ve paused my adwords campaign because I think I’m just pissing away money. Clicks are not converting to orders, which probably means I need to improve the site and shirt designs. That takes time I haven’t had. It’s not a failure of Mr. Ferriss’ system, I’ve been spending the time on family 8-)
Clicks are also costing about $.90, which is just too high. That means a whole host of things, from keyword selection to ad content to site content needs tweaking. That too takes time.
In the mean time I’ve noticed that Google Alerts is kicking out a small but steady stream of new mentions for my scrapbooking t-shirts store, which will lead to more organic clicks anyway.
So please stay tuned - I’m not walking away, just temporarily distracted.
Incidentally, a friend who’s a bit more successful than I suggested checking out www.webmasterworld.com. I also found www.warriorforum.com. I plan to review both in time.
