Increase in CCBill sales?

[paul7]

I noticed it but I also noticed that they did not sent my last check.

That's what I was going to say.

I also noticed an increase, BUT I am currently promoting one CC Bill sponsor much more than before. So, there's my explanation.

Checks are coming in timely and they even send me the same one twice a few weeks back.

Of course it does. But I'm sure that, if any proper number crunching was done on data covering longer time periods, it could seem to be fairly plausible. Again, not saying something ISN'T up, just saying I've seen this kind of threads so many times over the years that I've grown somewhat numb to them.

Oh. See, being such a newbie, I know nothing about crunching or sales trends.

Seems normal on my end

Well, I could've done without seeing this thread this week.

Because it's been my worst CCBill week for at least 2 years. And January 2008 was my best month ever! This week my CCBill stats have just suddenly fucking died - Haven't had a sign-up since Monday.

Plus a non CCBill sponsor that was doing at least one sign-up a day in January & was averaging 3 a day hasn't done anything at all this week either.

The lesson to learn form these anomalies is that you can't rely on anything in this business to work consistently. So you have to have as many irons in the fire as possible to survive.

i fully agree. 3 days to a week are really short for analyzing stats trends. next week can be the opposite of this one - i hope that'll happen for you geri!

I had expectations of a busy xmas season which didn't materialise, - in fact my most monstrous sales day ever was on a Tuesday last April; I always laugh at the memory of my stunned disbelief at the time [thinking there HAD to be a mistake] and instead of being smug and giddy with joy, I was instead strangely resigned to the fact that this won't happen again for a long time -and nope it hasn't since even during my most robust promo campaigns/ holiday seasons.
- so after seeing a few of these threads where its obvious judging from the variety of responses - there are no reliable common trends -weekly/daily/monthly/seasonally... instead it must just come down to how much exceptional/demanded content you can put out to the potential masses of our market as long as they have some $$$$ to splurge on our efforts.
