I was earning a very decent amount of money from some income sources that i thought were "Permanent" , So i went out and spent it on a few new toys (Ipad 2 , macbook air and other bits and pieces totalling around $3000-4000) and when i got back i checked my income sources and all of them dropped to around 1% of what i was earning whilst a few hours ago i was earning a good bit of cash , So it goes to show that even the most steadiest looking income sources can drop within a few hours. Just a bit of advice , Do not stick to one thing , Do not rely on one single income source because if you loose your income source then i can say its pretty shitty.

Back to the drawing board.

Income sources were from Facebook PPC.

Mind revealing how you were doing the facebook PPC since you are bucked?

I haven't had any good experience with FB PPC but thank you for sharing. What do you think you will try next?

edit: btw, what do you mean "bucked"?

Not sure, I have a Mcdonalds near by haha.

Nah i'll probably do FbPPC again or adsense. Depends if i can be bothered for all the hassle.

So why did you even bother to post this?
That bored I guess?

Now get on FB ads and HUSTLE!
Good lesson, next time dont waste your money on toys
and spend it on testing some more so you wont have to make
such silly posts..

Its not a silly post.

Its just some advice to show that you cannot rely on one single income source. FB takes a while to setup and get it moving.

@Stoner , Why would i reveal my methods if it made me a good amount of cash? Would you?

asianpersuasian · Mar 28, 2011

This same thing happened to me.. now im doing 10x what i was doing on fb

Sometimes you need to get a good slap so that you will learn something. I sure know I did!

Backup ads, and backup accounts FTW!

Never asked you to reveal anything..
Just telling you to hustle and get going on the new stuff.

question for you - how can you have a backup account - dont fb require that you pay from a card thats tied to your user name?

I'm not asking or expecting you to disclose methods that worked (nor do I think anyone else was actually asking that)...but more along the lines of what you did that got your income nuked like that.

Helping avoid the pitfalls for the rest of us

lol this is internet dude...place where you can get rich in a single day and lose all of your earning the next day..

it feels like roaller coaster indeed, hence why you should invest some of your earning in more stable business (like offline investment for example). I had days when I earned more than $20K/month back in late 2008 and a year later i earned almost nothing...

it's fun to do affiliate marketing and all that considering you can make it passive income source but it's never stable no matter what you do...unless if you own website with a lot of loyal visitors, way more stable that way lol
