Day 22 - Bum Marketing Adventure

I've had a couple comments I see :P It's nice to know people are interested.

I finished another good lens today. I've found that spending more time researching and writing the lenses really does give better results, so I'm focused more on that. I spent nearly two hours just researching my keywords.

I also wrote a couple more articles and manually requested my ezinarticles membership get upgraded, because this is ridiculous. It's been a very long time since I finished my 10.

I didn't get any sales today, which is a bit disappointing. While I'm getting more and more confident, I've still been hit and miss on sales and it always makes me wonder if it was just a fluke when I sell something. I go from 3 sales, to 1, then to 0. I'm still feeling good about being able to do this, but I have a hard time believing it until I see the sales.

I've added a "programs I recommend" to the side of the site. I'll just be adding programs that I've used and liked. Yes, they will be affiliate links, to let you know. You can always Google them if you don't want me getting the commission.

The one I added was The Joel Method. The Joel Method is a $7 e-book and it was what taught me how to change my selling tactics to ones that work better. Following his guide was what got me my first sales. It's probably not ground breaking for any of you advanced marketers out there, but for a noobie looking for his first sale, it's pretty darn amazing. You can literally spend 30 minutes to an hour and potentially make a sale or two from it. In my case, I spent about 3 hours using his techniques 4 times. 1 of them produced two sales, 1 of them produced 1 sale, 2 of them did nothing. I'm sure it's based on writing skills on how well it works. It's from the maker of the SpaceBankers program.

I expect to do one more good lens tomorrow (as I do everyday from here out) and hopefully see a sale :P
