Media buys are off the chain!

I will post more info and edit this post soon but.. I am NEVER going back.. ever again.

I’ve spent the last two weeks workin’ like a mad man setting up my first media buy. Fuck this is more exciting than going slightly out of your way to step on crunchy looking leaves. My biz partners and I have been working on designing 4 LP’s to split test, designing many banners; I’ve been configuring the adserver (which is basically hal9000 on crack) and getting into contact with publishers. Everything should be green in T-minus 3 days (I’m shooting for Monday/Tuesday launch). ~3-5k dollar initial remnant test buy over the course of 3 days or so, followed up with the official buy if our test proves successful (shooting for 100-150% ROI). I’m gonna pop champagne like Birdman on the first successful day.
I also have a few other campaigns making some great cheddar that just recently picked up not too long ago (somewhat unexpectedly..). Whoever said you can’t make money on Google search, they lied

The main exciting news, besides me getting a awesome non-anthrax package in the mail, is the media buy(s). After weeks of preparation and getting past the barriers to entry (thanks to my good buddy… drinks are on me big guy), everything is in place. Also, I cleaned my room.

Starting on the 15th I’m in an official race with my friend – First one to a million profit after taxes wins. Time to kick some ass. I project 6-10 months Then again he’s releasing some viral Facebook game. Farmville 2 anyone? I know Mike’s girlfriend will be hooked.

Cheers, and I will keep you all updated with what happens!

1 month vacation, several hospital visits, a stolen phone, sleepless nights, and many take-out dinners later, there’s a lesson that everyone’s gotta learn once. That is, you need to learn how to spend wisely, and also the importance of the people in your business who support you while you learn said lessons (you know who you are guys!).

I, as well as you, have probably heard it a thousand times, and it just goes in one ear and out the other. Well, I have learned this lesson, and it has taught me well. Like my about section says, I’m all about experiences, and it sure was an experience (to die for).. haha sorry couldn’t help it. It taught me 1000x over, and I’m very thankful for it. My good buddy who has been in the same situation but after selling businesses and experiencing it on a much higher level pulled me aside and reassured me, and made an extremely good point. He said that it’s great I went, and had that experience, because say I didn’t go… say my income was 10 or 20x higher, and I went out then… without having that experience to look back on it could have happened then, with a much greater fall. Scotch and milk, homie.

All in all, I got to see all my loving family, got some gnarly puncture wounds, visited vegas and all and all had a riotous time.  It was an absolutely epic vacation full of so much vibrant color and texture that coming back to the desert is like sanding my junk with sandpaper. Quite comforting in a way though because it’s time to get serious about making it all back, and not making the mistake again. Onward Captain Bones! The great news is the hard part of readjusting is over, and I’m already on my way to profiting again back up to what I was making before (and higher), as well as giving my fucking awesome biz partner a much needed break. I have several things up my sleeve w/ media buys as well as FB (never thought I’d be doing FB but I got a tip from a lil birdie).

Cheers

PS. You know, at first this blog was about adventures, but those are so close to me I can’t quite capture them here in the same way where you can experience them, without an insane amount of description and pictures (travel blogs). Also, this blog isn’t about money making tips, there are plenty of those. Maybe this should be about the learning process I have encountered as I evolve to experience incredible wealth (which I’m gonna guess ends with getting tired of it, and living in a cave eating bugs, or sailing around the globe with nothing but a boat and a tattered grubby burlap purse with a few oranges in it). I dunno, maybe it should just be a porn blog
