If you were looking for juicy gossip, sorry to disappoint. I'm not ‘outting<\/em>‘ myelf that way! I really do<\/em> like guys. \ud83d\ude42<\/strong><\/p>\n

Actually, I decided to come clean after reading Anik Singal's (Affiliate Classroom) newsletter titled “My “Slap-In-The-Face” Advice For 2007…” in which he detailed how a couple of mistakes cost him over $120,000 last year.<\/p>\n

Well, yes, I TOO made a huge error that cost me in the neighbourhood of $20,000 over a period of 3 months near the end of the year. (What a BUMMER… that money could have bought 2 really nice vacations.) Anyway, what happened was… <\/p>\n

I was making some really nice Adsense coin from an affiliate site on which I was no longer trying to sell products. I marvelled at the site's traffic considering I was doing NOTHING to promote it… Or, at least, that's what I thought until one day when I had a little time to spare, I took a long hard look through one of my PPC accounts. <\/p>\n

YIKES!! <\/p>\n

It turned out that I WAS still advertising the site and through the engine's content network, no less. <\/p>\n

AAARGH! I put a quick stop to that!<\/p>\n

OK, I'm not telling you this to whine or complain. Obviously if I can go 20K in the hole on one site over the course of 3 months without even noticing, the overall earnings picture is pretty darned good around here.<\/p>\n

The point is that I was stretched too thin to be able to pay proper attention to everything that was happening with my business.<\/strong> <\/p>\n

So, the lesson sinks in deeper<\/strong>. This year I'll definitely go back to my old ways and follow John Reese's teaching about pursue multiple streams of revenue from fewer niches – as opposed to multiple streams income from several sites – more closely.<\/p>\n
