Hello all,
My name is John and I am from Northern California U.S.A. I am relativly new to IM, I have put a couple of PPC campaigns together but never have made much money.

I am not looking to get rich over night, I just want to learn, work hard and make some additional income and then see what happens from there.

Thanks in advance for any help you all might give me or have given me as I read through this forum. Looking forward to actually turning a profit some time soon.

John

Welcome John, there is plenty of useful information already in the forum in the sticky threads in each category... but don't be afraid to ask specific questions if you don't find the answer.

As you have already done PPC campaigns, you may want to check out the 2 example campaigns done by 2 members on the forum (in the PPC section) and see if you pick up any more knowledge to help improve existing campaigns.

And heres some general advice I already posted on another thread:

A bit of advice when researching, especially product researching... always aim to think a few months in advance if you are considering any holiday promotions. For example, it may be too late to start promotion on christmas specific products if you are planning to do anything but PPC or direct email marketing etc.

Instead, the next holiday is valentines - so if doing anything in that area it would be better starting it now rather than at the end of January etc.

Other than that, you should also look beyond holidays and look towards evergreen products that have demand all year round and then when it approaches different holiday seasons you can promote it with some holiday angles.
