March PPC Results
Hey folks, I’m few days late in posting my monthly results this time. My time is been pretty much occupied with day job and other personal things.
I had planed to get into a new niche last month but had to delay the project because of some personal commitments. I did pay $1200 to get a new landing page done including content and copy writing but didn’t launch the campaign. I decided to wait until after May when I’m somewhat free.
For now, I’m just re-launching all my existing campaigns again from scratch. Google slapped my campaigns again at the end of March. Speaking of google slaps, Google tends to slap you much faster when you put a sign-up form on your landing pages.
After May, I’m going to be more active in my affiliate business, launching new campaigns, testing, increasing my earnings and updating and monetizing this blog. I need to start preparing my self to quit my job in next year or so. Not sure if I will quit when I get up to 100k a month. Reading blogs of other people who are quitting their day jobs, I’m seeing quitting your job brings other challenges like your health suffers because you work more hours, you tend to slack off at times then your business suffers. I guess it’s part of living and learning. But definitely, I would quit in coming years and will see how I handle it and the great thing about day job is, you can apply for one again any time 
So here are the March stats.
Revenue: $14,504.98
Expenses: $7821.65
Profit: $6683.33
ROI: 85%
Reason for high ROI?
You must be wondering how did I get such a big jump in my ROI from last month? Well, previously my stats were not entirely accurate. I use to report my expenses in Canadian dollars and revenue is USD. My stats were reflection of my expenses (in Canadian dollars) subtracted from my revenue (in US dollars). This month I got a new US credit card and opened a new US adwords account. So, both revenues and expenses are in US dollars and stats are accurate.

Thanks PPCMom. Your blog is very detailed. Interesting stuff.
To be honest with you, don’t pay too much attention to your ROI. Even if you’re getting 50% ROI, it’s way better than anything you will ever earn else where. In stock market, in mutual funds, real estate or other investments and business you’ll never make that much return. Affiliate marketing is best when it comes to make money fast and making huge returns.
Consider this – you’re making $100k a month. You’re ROI is 25%. Sure ROI could be better but look at the bright side. You’re are making 25k a month. Not to mention you’re spending 75k, which probably means you’re earning airmiles on 75k. You’re earning both ways

Good stuff, keep plowing away and you’ll hit the 6-figure months in due time.
I’m not sure what you’re taking home at your current job, but $100k/mo can certainly go a long way if well manged.
Take it easy!

Hey PunkCash,
Yes I will be when I get some time other than weekends. Right now my weekends are busy as well. I hoping things will be easy for me next month, so yes, I’ll put some time and get this blog going. But my first priority is to get some more campaigns up and increase my revenue. My revenue is been stalling for months now.
Thanks for dropping by.
