I think I’m a glutton for punishment.
Remember how way back when, when I started this site – I started to list credit cards? And, I listed about six or so cards before realizing that selling credit cards will be more soul sucking than any day job ever could be?
Well, today I get an email from the credit card companies that I did list, and forgot about it with a laundry list about all the infractions because these posts didn’t have tradmark terms etc. They actually pay somebody to check EVERY page I had their credit card listed and sent a very specific list of all my infractions. If I didn’t complete and comply with their infractions, they would have to delete my account. (The credit card companies pay about $50 or so if you apply through one)
So, I deleted all the credit card infractions. It was just copy and paste of code they gave me and I can’t seem to figure out how if I’m quoting them verbatim they’d be upset, but anyway. I hit the delete key to about ten categories on this blog related to their names/brands, and emailed them that it was way too much work to keep their credit cards listed. But I’ve complied. Sigh.
How’s your Friday been?
The good news, is I’m making very, very, small headway with my little online ads project. I spent $10 again yesterday and actually sold a $100 item from photodailynews.com which results in a $4 commission. Total income today: $4.
I’ll do the math for you: I spent $10, and made $4. That’s a LOSS of six bucks. But, I learned a few tricks and fool that I am, I’m trying again today. If nothing else I’m determined. I’ve spent $20 today but I don’t get to see how much if anything, I’ve earned until tomorrow.
The good news is I sold about $100 of stuff this week on eBay so at least selling my crap will cover my losses. So for the first week back since the holidays: I’m at about even, except I’ve learned a bit so that’s good news. I’m also pleased with my $4 earnings for the week because they came from 3 clicks. Maybe I just got lucky, or maybe I can grow the traffic and sell more and more stuff over time.
We’ll see.
