Family First

This course has taught me so much over the past 14 weeks. I have been humbled by the sheer amount of new information I've received, and I've recognized the Lord's hand in my life in helping me apply them. As I went through this course, the thing that kept coming to my mind was the importance of family in having a happy and successful life. I am so grateful for the emphasis that was put on this during this semester, because I feel that it is so easy to lose sight of our priorities in an increasingly loud world. Family has been on my mind a lot during this semester too as I've been dating Gabi Iverson. She and I actually just got engaged last night, so family has naturally been the center of my thoughts for much the last few months. I truly believe that if I put her and our future kids first each day, the Lord will bless me with the time and energy I need to still work and pursue my entrepreneurial dreams. I also still need to continue reading in my scriptures, praying, attending church and the temple, and doing all of the simple private religious practices that will allow for the Lord to work in my life and so that I can receive revelation both for myself and for my family. If I do these things, then I will be able to continue feeling of the peace and joy I feel each day now. I know that the joy I feel comes from Jesus Christ and my faith and trust in Him. I know that God has blessed me with everything that has given me joy- including my beautiful and amazing fiance. I am grateful for her and for the influence she has had on me for good over the last two years that we have known each other. I trust that she and the Lord will help keep me accountable and on the straight and narrow, and for that I am very grateful.

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.
