Hey Everyone, Thanks for the replies! Debbie, you asked about weekends... I do weekends the same way as I do regular work days, and there are obvious trends that I've noticed, and I've put a summary together as to why some days are better than others. ... Mondays: The best sales day by far. This is the day that everyone goes back to work from the weekend to jobs that they'd rather not go to, so they sit at their desks and look for other ways to make money. Tuesday - Thurs: These are not as good as Mondays, but still pretty good, although Thursays do suffer a slight decline, and I'm guessing it's because it's right next to Friday, and by the time Thursday gets here most people have come to accept that their current jobs are OK for now, and they lose a tad bit of the energy to find other money making solutions. Friday: The worst day. This is the day where people sit at their desks and think, "I've made it through another week, and it wasn't so bad." And at this point they focus on the weekend and don't put much energy into finding other ways to make money. Note: My only negative income day for July thus far was 21 July, which was a Friday - True to form. For the most part my net gains on Fridays are somewhere in the $10 - $20 range, and rarely gets above $50. Still, $10 is a third of a tank of gas, so I'm happy with that. Saturday: Saturday's are typically pretty good although they can be sort of Schitzoid in terms of how good they want to be. Sunday: Sundays are very good too. I believe these are pre-emptive strikes by people who don't want to go back to work on Mondays. They enjoyed their Friday nights, rested up a little on Saturday, and really dread the 9-5 that awaits them. To Everyone's Success!! -Kevin That is a GREAT summery of all the days of the week Kevin. Need to come back and read this a few more times. You are already an expert. Thanks for sharing this with us. Tal P.S. I would like to see you kevin post here more often and help the poeple who are just starting out. I would also like you to post and help in anything that can help even those who are experienced 3PP members.

Hi Kevin, Still, I'm learning to get around Google, I got back up to 400 a day just using Yahoo and Ask, but haven't found the sales anywhere near as good, so it's actually costing me money and I've had to suspend my marketing until I figure out how to better my results and receive a few checks from Clickbank etc... I'm going to try and find some more keywords too. Regards, Jim Hi Jim, I am not in profit yet, have been spending most of my time trying to get some advertising to kick in, working with Google, MSN, YAHOO, ASK. I thought ASK was kicking in real well sending me between 500 and 700 visitors a day, but none of them were buying anything. I called them and they refunded my money, said they adjusted my account ( don’t know how ) and we started all over, but the traffic is not there yet. You might try calling them thay seem to be real helpfull or at least try to be. Florence Hi Florence, thanks for the info florence, I had a similar experience with Yahoo when I first started with them. The account racked up over $900 in a one day!!!!!!! I called them, they were very professional and helpful and refunded all the money straight away as the $900 worth of clicks came from content related clicks that were dubious and unverified. It seemed to be an error on both my part and Yahoo's too, but they didn't quibble and so retained my business and helped me sort it out without any worries. So you're right, it doesn't hurt to call these companies and I should have done this earlier. Thank you for the advice, Jim

Wow what an enlightening post Kevin!
It is amazing what works for some people and what works for others. That is the whole idea with this business is every person has to find what works for them.
Thank you so much for the "Success Story" and ideas Kevin.

Thanks, Kevin!
Sandi Sandi Yes Kevin is that type of person... I've known him several years and that is just who he is.... There are many more like him here which is what is nice about this Forum but I will tell you the same thing I told another member in private... A large number of the people who have successfully completed 3PP and are making very good money are not going to share one bit of their success formula with anyone here. There are 4-5 times more of these type of 3PP affiliates... than those who come here and share.... Their attitude is... why should they help anyone else to compete with them... They have their slice of the pie and aren't giving a bite of it to anyone... They don't realize there are plenty of pies for everyone.... I have a complete list of those who have their websites still online and actively working the program... I know in detail who is making money and who isn't simply by looking at my referral stats for Peak Impact, I-moms, Affiliate Fuel, Survey Scout and Bizoppnetwork. I know exactly what each person is making in each of these five programs. True I don't know their expenses but I know mine and how mine works... they are following the program the same as me... I can't violate their privacy but you can take my word for it when I tell you the majority of 3PP affiliates who are doing well each month... no longer come here and post. That is just the way it is... Human nature I guess. That is why the successful 3PP affiliates who still come here.... are such exceptionally good people... They go against the norm of our society. I'm not saying these others are BAD people... they just aren't willing to share anything when it come to their income... how they get it or where they get it. We know they are using the basic TOPS 3PP system... just not some of the specific details as Kevin has provided. Some parts of our individual programs are best kept to ourselves... but most of it can be shared without anyone losing anything. Take Care Erich

That is great news Kevin! Thanks for the tip on overnight PPC. I'll have to check into that myself. You sound like a very organized person. If I may ask, what kind of spreadsheet are you using to keep all your stats? This is something I need to do ASAP, however I don't know exactly how to set it up. Thanks Kevin, keep it up! Lori[/quote) Lori - here is a document I use to track my stats daily. www.stirls.com/income-tracking-template.xls I hope that helps - tracking your stats daily is very important to determine what is and what is not working for you. It is also nice to see the positive income days add up over the month! Chris Shelly and new phase 3 members Here is a spreadsheet Stirls gave Lori recently on tracking. It is great to be organized and record stats daily. I also like using the calendar method Erich talks about in his phase 3 email. Then you can compare months and days easy and have it right in front of you when you are checking your accounts on Mozilla Firefox. The more organized you get the better you can control your spending. Zeta

Hi Zeta,
Thank you for bringing this post back to everybodys attention. Chris has made a great spreadsheet here and I am sure it will benefit all that download it.
I must admit I do not track properly so this is fantastic, thanks to all involved.
