Life can get a little stressful and a little serious at times so I’m going to start a new series of Friday posts, i’ll do it after every hard week I have. This has been a very hard week. This is just me writing down a couple of good things that have happened over the last 7 days, as much for myself as anybody else. Besides it’s Friday and tomorrow is the weekend, I might even treat myself to a sleep in.
GBP – USD Exchange Rate Swings The Right Way
I asked for this from Santa, so it’s 8 months late, who cares! After 18 months of a low value dollar things have finally started to move in the right direction for us Brits earning dollars. What started of at the beginning of the month of an exchange rate of nearly 2 dollars to the pound is now (as I type) $1.87. That’s should be worth a couple of hundred pounds extra to me this month. If that isn’t something to be happy about then I don’t know what is.
Zac Johnson – For Showing These Stats
A big thank you to Super Affiliate Zac Johnson for this post. But why you ask? Look at how low those click through rates are from advertising with FaceBook. As you may or may not know I’ve burnt quite a lot of money with FaceBook and always had what I thought were appalling click throughs. Maybe it’s my ad copy? Maybe I’m just crap? I split tested to the nth degree. It’s really nice to know that even some of the best guys in the business can top out at around 0.1% as well! From the way some people write you’d think that all they have to do is sneeze to get a 4%CTR and conversions coming out of their nose. Zac may have made a killing on that campaign I don’t know, he didn’t mention it, but just publicizing that CTR was enough to put a smile on my face.
