Yesterday was a huge day in history. As you all know, the World Most Famous Man, Michael Jackson aka The King of Pop died. Man…ain’t that some sh*t. I guess everybody has got to go someday. So what’s this post about? Well, in all respect to Michael Jackson this blog has to see the “Get Money” perspective of everything.

Keeping your head during the storm..

When I heard that Michael Jackson died my first reaction was to get on Twitter, and then on Facebook, and Wikipedia etc etc. I was one of the early birds when it came to finding out. Five minutes later I realized…this is a get money opportunity. I rushed to GoDaddy.com…ripmichaeljackson.com and other domains had already been registered. I was like surprised at how fast people think. So my next move was to try something I’ve never done before – Pay Per Click.

I had a free $25 coupon for Adwords that I got for signing up with Hostgator so I used it and added another $25 dollars myself. Then I went on Amazon.com and found some affiliate links to Michael Jacksons Greatest Hits and proceeded to run an AdWords campaign. Now, remember i’ve never done this before so I just set it up to the best of my ability (I was learning on the spot). Since it was a worldwide phenomenon I thought I’d run a campaign in the United Kingdom.

Anyways, I got a bunch of clicks but not as many conversions as I should have or could have. I didn’t make a profit but didn’t lose too much so it was a great learning experience and definitely got me more interested in PPC. Yesterday while I was doing this a friend of mine told me, “you like to take a lot of risks don’t you?” No rain, no rainbows – no risk, no reward. Next time something big goes down, while everybody’s spreading the gossip, make sure you’re getting the cake. I know I will be.
