There won't be any marketing today. I haven't been sleeping well and I just didn't have the drive to create a sale. And I knew I wouldn't be in any shape to do morning marketing today. (We finally slept last night, which was good.)
The problem with not marketing is with no marketing comes no sales. I mean, I'm still getting some page reads, but nothing to shout about. :shrug:
Unfortunately, even with the marketing, I'm only averaging about $20 a month. I keep hoping something will take off and fly, but so far, nothing has. When I look at the amount of effort versus the return, it really makes me not want to market.
This, of course, is all free marketing. As in, no money is going to to accomplish it. On the other hand, I'm spending a lot of time. We won't go into how many hours I spend to make $20 a month, okay? That's just depressing. I get paid more than that for working on a single spreadsheet for an hour.
Anyway, I know that if I paid someone else for marketing, I'd trade cash for time. The problem with that is the last time I paid for ads, I made an 11.06% profit. In 2019, I paid $355.31 and cleared $39.31. Not sure if 11% profit is awesome or pathetic, but there it is.
With FB being a turd about how much I can market, I'm definitely going to need to start delving back into other sources. I've started that, kinda. At least, I've gone through and determined which newsletters are defunct, so I have a good list to use when I start back up again. Bleh.
Tomorrow's post will be of a personally relevant nature, as opposed to a writerly nature. Maybe I'll talk more about this marketing thing on Wednesday. For now, though, it's time to get to my morning routine. Have a great day, wherever you are.
