Have to do my tax and checking my expenses for 2016..
Well, 2016 was the first year, I really hammered some $$$$ to test different ideas and what so ever...
(I had a nice side job so I could spend some bucks
)
Sadly, the only thing that really worked investing money in for me:
So, for the "wasted list" (I only list 3-digit amounts here.. not the small crap)
Conclusion
-STOP USING PAID ADS
-Stop pumping views & likes on youtube videos to high amount
-Invest into expired domains, set them up nicely, use them as additional backlinks
-buy some PBN blogposts.
-setup more web2.0 sites and blasting them with fiver pyramids and rank lowcomp KWs page 1 in 1 week
Well, 2016 was the first year, I really hammered some $$$$ to test different ideas and what so ever...
(I had a nice side job so I could spend some bucks
)Sadly, the only thing that really worked investing money in for me:
- Using services to find HQ aged domains.
- Buying aged domains and turning them into blogs
- Buying PBN posts
- Buying Fiverr T1/T2 pyramid for a web2.0 and ranking a kwfinder diff. 19 keyword in 1 week to #9
- buying cheap Fiverr 4k social signals for 5$ and getting amazing stats for ahrefs on that web2.0
- using Mass video blaster and marketing blaster to fine tune meta and mass upload to youtube
- Buying Serplab tracker & ahrefs account.
- using SMSPVA for PhonYverifY youtube accounts (when I was to lazy to swap sim cards)
- Macbook air
So, for the "wasted list" (I only list 3-digit amounts here.. not the small crap)
- 1141€ for Paid Traffic from local sites, Bing, Adwords, Sirius. Adwords is to expensive, bing is average. Sirius is ok, but kind of expensive to.
- 111€ for Bing.. tested different niches and offers and services.. nada
- 197€ for Adwords - also crap
- 353€ for Sirus (At least I got ROI there..), but still, wasted, cause not lasting.
- 250€ Local site. Tested 5 different offers - not 1 fucking conversion. expensive too
- 93€ Reporo. 3rd worst traffic ever. only bots!
- 70€ local site. Nada..
- 58€ for twitter (what a shithole of wasted clicks)
- 9€ facebook ads, that got my facebook ads account banned
- 205€ for black hat links consisting of
- social signals an (too expensive, too few!)
- web2.0 articles on random sites. no link juice what so ever, rather spend 10$ for a PBN post than 10$ for 50 of those links.
- 489€ for Youtube Services, like Likes, Views.
- effect was tiny, and just marginal
- boosting videos for YOUTUBE SERPS is like REALLY expensive :/
- effect was tiny, and just marginal
- 365€ for Proxies
- tried mass planner and spamming the usual OGADS+IG method
- way to expensive.
- It's just not my thing. Stopped that in 10/2016
