My $400 Dollar Loss

Part of affiliate marketing is losing money. While you can attempt to make as much safeguards against it, you're still never 100% promised to make your money back.

Yesterday was a bad day...

I woke up at around 8:00 and had to be at church at 8:30. They had asked me to pick some coffee travelers up from starbucks and mind you I live 15 minutes away from the church. Hahaha. Needless to say, I had no time to check my email before leaving.

I am in church when I get a text from a friend saying my server is either blocking them or is down. I think nothing of it because they said they tried to login to their ftp 3-4 times and I figure that my security software just put them in the infamous deny file.

Well, about half way through service I get my iPhone out because my mind is getting the best of me... What if it is down...

I pull out my iPhone and my server isn't responding. Doh.

The bad part about this was that the night before I had re-launched a campaign that on a good day can make up to $650+ while spending around $400ish. So I had all my campaigns active and by the time I got home from church at around noon, I had already lost $400.

I wish I could have used that money for a fun game or a new remote control helicopter. (I'm really in to RC Helicopters since buying my first one back when I first hit my first $1000 day)
