What's the one thing you wish people told you about CPA back when you started?

Hindsight is always 20/20.

What is the one thing you wish people would of told you about CPA back when you were a baby beginner at it? It can be about the nature of the business, or time management, tips and tricks.....or whatever you wish.

So, what is it?

The truth. That it takes money to invest, that there is no such thing as automatic-push-button-riches.

I would second that. My 3 favourite things I wish I had known were:

1) Concentrate on the financial market - the payouts are awesome

2) Have a budget for PPC, otherwise you can't test. I never test with anything less than £300 otherwise I will run out of steam too quickly

3) Keyword strategy - Brand names, company names, trademarked keywords, product names ... you name it. THAT is what you want to be bidding on instead of the generics
