worst week in this business
 

im a 5 yo webmaster and it seems this will be the worst week i ever had. Usually i make around 1500 per week in all my sites and i dont know why since sunday i have only $120, same traffic no changes , i really dont know what is happening maybe its just badluck and tomorrow the things change i hope.And september is the end of the hollydays , start of the classes , so creditcards are full , maybe its that...

Wow... that blows.

Hang in there, bro. Things will change and when you're back to coasting, start diversifying or have a backup.

You're just having some bad luck.
Last week was horrible for me, however this week my ratio's doubled. :thumbsup

All in the game, right ?

hold in there it could be just chance.

It'll get better!

My ratios fucked up since Wednesday.

its not toptopweek no but 120 damn...

Best Week Ever!

Thank God I make sales on my own site because I haven't had a SPONSOR sale in three fucking days! Not even a ten cent free AFF signup. And I was on fire the first two weeks of this month. As soon as the 16th came, shit dried up.

I don't even like opening up unified stats anymore because I'm sick of looking at zero's.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh These words made me laugh really :thumbsup

and the story is sad :(

Hurricanes man, hurricanes.

The last two months have been terrible. Things seem to be picking up a bit now though. Let's hope.

Really? People are having sales slumps? Sorry to hear. Things are good here.

same here just bought my 2nd SLK as well

Out of curiosity, are you promoting Clickcash? Its also my worst week in a long time promoting cams via hsn/clickcash.

Ouch, that's a hard hit.

I assume that you're going to restore?

wow, I thought it was just me

Dude same here.. You're not alone.. The last month or so has suck huge donkey nuts. :(

yep cause the interweb only consists of american traffic. Where do these idiots come from? :1orglaugh

Why come here with a 2 post count and bitch about your 5 year old problem? :321GFY :321GFY :321GFY

Plus..(you just struck a vain) close to a million people are without power and gas prices are at $3 a pop here in the US and trickels up to the rest of the world. Rita is just about to blow off TX. People aren't spending money.

ok who was the asshole who signed up for a free profile to give me a ten cent sale. :1orglaugh

word.... :1orglaugh

doing good myself. and you have been in the biz for 5 years and only do 1200/week!?!

honestly i don't know how ppl make much more than that these days who are simple affiliates. traffic is hard as hell to get these days. my main problem is i got too used to working 45 minute days, now that just doesn't cut it.

sad to know that.... i know it sucks! Bad luck.... but maybe putting some more hours of work should make u more blings ;)

true. anyone who drives a vehicle is getting hit with record fillup costs right now.

this is a world-wide issue, but really effects the demographics of credit card holders. and this one single thing hits very close to home in the psychology of people. so they stop all discretionary spending because people are a little bit tense about their financial future.

Eb and flow. You will probably have a record week next week.

The reasons are known to anyone who operates or works in an ad agency. There is nothing worse for sales (whether on the net/TV/print) than bad news. We now have 24/7 TV coverage of hurricanes.

The acid test of that is in "off-the-page" sales in print media - the response from this kind of advertising needs to happen within a day or so of publication, else it just does not happen.

Years back I managed to achieve one of these "successes" in lack of response where ya dump $30K on print ads in newspapers for the ads to appear over a weekend. So happens one weekend the timing was bad and there were declarations of war as headlines in print media. The response from all ads could be counted on one hand - bye bye $30K! :-)

The only bad luck ya got is bad news over hurricanes appearing cam4teen - the response/conversions will get back to sanity when the shit dies down! :thumbsup

We have noticed a general decrease, last couple months
have been alot slower then normal.

Better start putting in an hour and a half.

Yeah shit is really blowing this month...

Last month I did $9600 and this month it looks like $5200...

Back to school costs, hurricains... who knows...

What is funny to me is that I know certain people are doing a lot worse than they are saying they are, but no one has the balls to or the guts to say they are not doing well this month.

Certain sponsors are saying they actually increased revenues from Sept 1 - Sept 5 and I know they are so full of shit.

I guess I will get on the positive bandwagon...

Hey, sales are awesome here! We are just kicking ass! You should be doing business with us because we can never have a bad month!

Here is some facts:

We have lost over 150 recurring members in the past 30 days, we have
never done that since 2001!

Maybe it goes better again if you finally fix your payment issue with me :2 cents:

Of course they are! :1orglaugh

TV and newspapers have folks sitting waiting to book ads and they can't keep up with the massive numbers of advertisers that want space/timeslots. Kinda like sponsors! :winkwink:

In real life they can't give the shit away for less than the half normal rate at the present time, so might as well concentrate on "news value" in the hope of upping the viewing/readership figures.

that's what's crazy about this business. there's no telling when or where or why. lol

thats rough man things have slowed down a little bit for me also in the last couple of weeks hopefully its just slump

hahahaha

Nice, is that mostly from your Thumb sites?
