-25.67% ROI is not good. Give it up
Over in the USA, affiliate network Market Leverage and Tyler Cruz are running an affiliate challenge where they are giving away the usual stuff that every affiliate marketing company in the world gives away, (ipod, flip video camera, usb pen and the like) in a competition
To be in with a chance of winning you have to be the best performing new affiliate, or have made the most commission or something like that, I haven’t read all the T’s and C’s. Not a bad idea as it will encourage new users to sign up to the network and will earn Tyler commission for referring them.
But…someone needs to tell Tyler to give up his own entry right now. Every day or so he writes an incredibly detailed blog post of how he is getting on in the challenge, he includes spreadsheets and all sorts, he clearly puts a lot of time into these posts. The things is that he is currently on day 25 of the challenge and he has lost money.
“After 24 days I’ve spent a total of $1,558.15 to make $1,158.25, putting me $399.90 behind at the moment. “
Great. I get that the point of this “challenge” is to get sub-affiliates to sign up under you Tyler but it’s embarrassing to see you posting every day that you have “improved” your ROI from -31.76% to -25.67%. Yes those are minus signs! Tyler seems really pleased about this, however I have to say that if you are still losing money after 24 days, it’s time to do something else.
Seriously, if Tyler had devoted all the time and effort that he did from (a) his (failed) ppc efforts and (b) his detailed blog posts - into something more constructive then he could have earned some money instead of losing it.
So please put us out of our misery and end your participation in the challenge as I almost can’t bear to look at your blog and see how much money you have lost today.
