Priorites

This week in a couple of my classes we discussed the need to put our priorities into order. I feel that this is one of my strengths, but I want to write about it to make sure I keep it that way when life gets more difficult, as I know it will. My first priority is and always will be the Lord and His church. I will always choose to serve Him and do His will before my own. This is the only thing I would allow to take precedence over my family. My church callings and assignments will always be my first priority, no matter how busy, tired, or overwhelmed I am. My second priority is my family, bot current and future. I am not currently married, but I plan to be in the future, and I want to be in the habit now of prioritizing my relationships with my wife and kids before anything other than the Lord. I also truly believe that the Lord will never take me away from my family more than I or they can bear. He wants us to be with and love our families, so He will provide the way for us to do so as well as accomplish all of the other things He asks of us. I want to have consistent date nights with my wife, family home evenings each Monday night, and I want to be the dad who coaches my kids' sports teams, the dad who is at all the recitals, concerts, and games I can possibly attend. In short, I want them to never have to question how much I love them, and I will do whatever it takes to accomplish that. My education and career come after my family. I need to provide for them and for myself, and I have a desire to make a mark on the lives of those around me. In order to do that, I need to work hard and build a career. If I keep my family in mind, I know that I will never let work become too important that it becomes a negative impact on them. I will keep pictures of them wherever I work so that I can remember where my loyalties lie, and I will also keep either a mission plaque or my name tag in order to remember who my loyalty is to first. My view of money comes in this level of priority. I don't see it as that important. Yes, it is necessary to survive, but the Lord has already told us that He will provide the means to live if we follow Him. So, I know that if I serve Him and keep these priorities in order and work hard, I won't have to worry too much about money, and the Lord will provide the way for me and my family to survive.

Ad Optimization and ROI

This week I learned a lot about how to optimize my keywords and ads in order to maximize the money I am paying for advertising now that I've started my campaign. I made a couple of changes based on the data I've received so far from Google about my ad performance. One of them was I removed the keywords "Grand Teton National Park" and "Yellowstone National Park" from my ads because they were limited by something in their performance. I still don't totally understand why that happened, but I made the change to get more clicks for my money. I'm not planning to generate a lot of revenue right now, but I hope to gain a following on my website in order to monetize my site later with advertisements. At that point, my ROI will increase and my investments will have been worth it. It may take a while, but once I start earning money, I will be able to run more serious ads with a larger budget, and my web business will be well on its way to a good profit!

Ads

This week I learned about Google Ads and their value to businesses. With a decent budget and proper planning, ads can drive large amounts of traffic to websites and social media pages, allowing for large amounts of growth sales for the companies that use them. I have learn from the articles and sites that I have used to research this week that ads should be carefully refined to be as well-made as possible before they are published. Descriptions and headlines need to be concise, clean, and helpful. If I create an ad, I need to make sure both of these aspects are refined and reviewed using keywords to make sure I have chosen the best words and phrases to drive as much traffic to my site as possible. The other important thing to keep in mind is that all of the budget information needs to be reviewed and double checked before publishing the campaign. Monetary mistakes can cause losses of hundreds or thousands of dollars, so I need to make sure I am not making any mistakes in that realm sin...

Google Ads and Keywords

This week, I learned a lot more about how to use Google Ads and Keywords. I also learned that it is important to pay attention to the details of the instructions because I accidentally created an express account at first, so I had to contact Google support to figure out how to have access to all of the tools available in the regular account. Regarding keywords, I learned how important it is to have the best keywords possible. If keywords are all too specific, too general, or simply not relevant enough, we are going to waste money on nothing. We won't get clicks, we won't get sales, and nothing good will really come from learning to use Google Ads. However, if we use good Keywords and target our ad campaigns effectively, we can really grow our businesses and get better and better each day as we continue to learn and improve our skills.
