Stage 2 Round 2 Day 2
April was a solid 5 figure month, so hooray for that. My industry is getting shaken up like crazy right now and the men are being separated from the boys (so to speak) since a lot of the hobbyist players are getting taken out by lack of profit and the serious people (like me *cough*) are being tested to see who can really last.
The battles of April have also made me realize that though I am good at my traffic business, and I have many many many happy clients…it’s just not my passion. Writing is my passion, and I have decided to venture into the world of copywriting which I will do in tandem with growing my publishing business on kindle.
This literally means another uphill climb, learning an entirely new industry and mastering that, but the passion and potential for big profits is all there 100%. So I think it’s generally a fit for long term growth. Time will tell if it works out.
It’s actually hard to determine how BASE affects me now. I can tell that I’m far more resilient and work oriented than this time last year. It’s like I’m a totally different person from the ground up, honestly. But in terms of growth from last month, I suppose my ability to work with setbacks has been upgraded somewhat. I spoke with many of my business friends who are jumping ship in my current industry and are looking at something – literally anything else – to help keep their incomes stable.
The crazy thing is that I don’t necessarily feel the sting of these “problems” that a lot of my peers are facing. I mean, I see them from an outside perspective, but I don’t have them myself. So I can’t tell if I’m just mega-resilient like never before, or that I’ve just been smart and avoided all the challenges others have been drowning in. Or could it be that I’m both resilient AND smart…? Who knows, but I’m somewhat bored with the traffic biz even though the money is alright.
I have refrained from posting my site because it might be seen as self promotion (I don’t think anyone here is my industry, so I don’t consider this self promotion) but I think it might be useful for others to see the site that has made me all my $$$$:
impactsoloads.com
Whatever your opinions are of my site, that darn thing brought me in average of $350 - $400 revenue PER DAY in April. My industry is internet marketing and biz opp related-ish, but I work 90% with other internet marketers who just want to get their products and services converting better. To be clear, I only provide the traffic for my customers, I don’t recruit or anything like that. I literally just send them site visitors and that is it. My job is done. Whether or not those people buy or sign up to whatever is not my problem lol BUT…I do get to charge more for my traffic due to the fact that my visitors tend to convert into sales for my clients.
So now you all can see what I do. Please don’t let the simplicity of the site fool you; there’s a lot of moving pieces to my business but I have simplified everything to the point where I can work as little as a few minutes a day and still have a thriving beast of a business. Could I scale what I have into the high heavens? Yep. Do I necessarily want to? I’m really not sure at this point.
Hopefully getting into copywriting turns into something exciting where I can be genuinely fulfilled by my work. I took my traffic biz from zero to hero in about 8 full months while using BASE. Let’s see where the next cycle brings me.
