End of month report
Big news: I tried a few promotions on YouTube. Now, maybe I threw $40 away. Maybe not. But I made an additional $50 or so this month (92+ sold a $150 PC today), above my typical $40.
Black Friday effect? Maybe. We'll try it next month and see.
But the bigger effect was a huge bump in traffic. Typically, I see between 5 and 8 hours a day. The MOST I'd seen before this month was 13 hours....
Ready?
THIS WAS GYNORMOUS!!!
More traffic, More watch hours, more subscribers!!
And I at least broke even on the investment of the promotions.
Another thing though was that I created 3 videos last week. They went out at the same time and they all got pretty good traffic. Over 2K views in the last 9 days (so the bump in views wasn't just from these videos that were promoted!)
On other fronts...
Medium is down but still getting about 10 reads a day down from 20. Still I get high quality backlinks from it, so there's that
My automated social media campaigns are running on LinkedIn, Pinterest, and Facebook. Saw a bump on my cybersecurity Pinterest channel up to 22K views then it leveled off, but I am getting over 50 clicks a month so there's that.
My mini pc blog is still DOA on Google, but inching up over 5 clicks a day on bing!
Onward to 2025!!!

Yeah when you never saw 15 hours now seeing that even on an off day and saw darn near 50 hours, it deserves its' own adjective :-)

Awesome, nice work and progress Michael! Looking forward to seeing how your test pans out "post" Black Friday as well. Keep us posted! :)
Yeah it dropped to 16 hours yesterday. I think it ran out of promo juice... but that's OK 10-15 hours a month will get me there.
