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!
In the meantime, watch this.
Sounds like you are on your path man! Good to hear. I’m excited to tap into online marketing. Thanks again for helping noobs like me out. We’ve all been there…right? lol
