Keeping the Faith
Keeping the faith
Sometimes life deals you a bad hand, and then another and another. I'm having a hard time keeping the faith here, but I have to. Lately I've turned to Tony Robbins, and I find his work absolutely inspiring and amazing. I've listened to a LOT of self help speakers and Tony is quickly becoming my new favorite!
Affiliate marketing IS next to impossible
I'm losing money on adwords. I am starting to think that the only people making money are the ones selling success kits and tools to all the fools who are buying this junk. Keyword tools, tools to steal someone elses campaign. Wow, can I steal your money losing campaign so I can lose money too? It's insane. I had one day where I profited and then the next day lost all my profits and then some in further advertising costs. I'm going to put this project on hold until land some new work and can fund this insanity again.
Rental is rocking
My rental is coming along really good. The interior is about done and I've got the most difficult outside wall mostly covered in siding. Why was it so difficult? Well its the side covered with electrical boxes, water spout, and both windows needed to be rebuilt the boards were rotted, and the foundation was fubar on one part so I had to mess with that to make the siding work. Like it was higher in the front than the back so when I wrapped around the doorway there was no way it would work. So I cut a board and extended it down, etc. Lots of thinking and problem solving but I enjoy that stuff. I get a big confidence boost every time I work on that house. I wish the game industry was so easy. I mean doing the work is easy, but finding the deals is hard.
Monetizing Gore
Monetizing Gore is a challenge. I have all these players (over 1400 today, and about 15000 total) and nobody is buying crap. I'm trying to sell some in game ads, we'll see how that turns out.
Back to games
Well I need to find new work before my money runs out. I guess I'm going to work on my portfolio and try to find new contract work. I was hoping to get lucky and figure out affiliate marketing and then be able to focus on my own games again, but that has been a big waste of time so far. I'm not giving up just yet, but need to put that on hiatus until I get the cash flow restabilized.
