Leonidas Crashing Into A Wall - Leonidas Marketing Blog

Hey

Has shit ever hit the fan for you?

How about crashing into a wall? (a metaphorical wall).

Well I have. Maybe you saw the video I posted a few weeks back, of me ramming full force into a curb…

But this time I have something better for you.

Right after I gave that stone curb and pavement a kiss with the fleshy parts of myself, it was the perfect time to make an inspirational video.

When you hit a wall going full speed… sometimes the only option is to get right back up, and keep going.

I talk a little about running an internet business, and failing multiple times, yet getting right back in!

I hope you find some inspiration in this.

Help With A Google Ads Suspension & My History of Google Ads Suspensions (22)
- Leonidas K. { Hey Lukasz, the current idea is to ensure your calls have the business name said within the first 30 seconds of the call. Also, that customer sentiment (emotion, happiness), is not low/angry. } –
- Lukasz { Hey Leonidas I am based in Europe and wish to run affiliate pay per call offers through Google Ads (call ads only) in US. Can you possibly tel me what do I need to do in order not to get my account suspended? I mean do I need to open company in the US to ran pay per call offers? } –
- Leonidas K. { Hi Ryan, I started with Dropshipping a hot seasonal product, and decided to purchase it directly from Alibaba to sell within the United States. Unfortunately, I overestimated it's post-seasonal success, and blew through some cash doing it. But lesson learned. I'm not running CPA, and I only use Facebook for 'Retargeting'. } –
- Leonidas K. { Hi Ryan, I can certainly start creating posts about it, but it is still a new venture for me, and I wouldn't feel right about posting "newbie" content. I will post content about it, once it's relevant and quality 😉 Nonetheless, thanks for the suggestion Ryan } –
- Ryan { Hi Leo, are you going to post about doing eCommerce with Adwords? } –
- Ryan { can you let us know what's the new white hat e-com strategy? Are you doing CPA ecom offers from affiliate networks? Is it same with Shopify strategies on FB? can you give us more details? } –
- Leonidas K. { Hey Alex, after filling out the form, you will be redirected to a larger form with more details to fill in. Afterwards, the agent will contact you within 1 business day. } –
- Alex { Thanks Leo, yeah I understand that, I'm asking the following: After paying $2 and filling out the above form, do I get contact details of the agent? Or will there just be a form to contact them? I don't need their service right now, just want to get their contact details in case I need help in the future. } –
- Leonidas K. { Hey John, as mentioned in my article, I still ended up using billing info that was suspended previously, and my account is still in effect. Once you submit the form, you will have get more details about the pricing with the agent. } –
- Leonidas K. { Hey Alex, the second form is for the actual agent. The first email form is to filter out spam submissions. } –
The City in Siberia - Novosibirsk, Russia Photos (1)
- Dave Wilson { We, Went on the Trans Siberian Railway 1977 when the USSR was still a communist state. Stopped off in Novosibirsk for over two days. The hotel had a woman on each floor who sat at her desk near the stairs and controlled the room keys each time we went out and arrived back. Our lady would keep them locked up in her desk draw and was a little officious or maybe just bored, but there was no unemployment in Russia we were told. The room was clean and livable but I noticed the roof of the apartment block across the street had a few loose tiles in one place and I wondered what happened when it rained. There was a huge single red plastic tulip structure outside imbedded into the pavement. Went to the ballet one night. The performers were quite good with the occasional slip up but they were not the Bolshie Ballet Company. The venue was packed and at the end there were so many bunches of flowers present to the performer's. I must confess that I did nod off a few times and was prodded by my girl friend when I did so. The food was acceptable, but I have to say that one day on our trip we were given cucumber as part of our meal at breakfast, dinner and tea. I had to laugh when, in a film, Yule Brinner played a Russian Officer who was having a meal with the captured tourists who happened to cross over the boarder accidently and which was regarded as an international incident. Yule asked an American tourist if he liked cucumber as he was slicing his own up. The American nervously replied that he did. Yule replied. "I hate them, but in Russia, you eat what you are offered." The next day, we were walking around in a group and came across a shop that just sold cucumbers and one of our crew said that she loved cucumbers and went in to buy one. She came out with two very big bags of them. We all laughed and asked what had happened. She said, " I gave her a rubble and she gave me these. What do I do with them?" I can't remember what she did with them. We were in an open market one afternoon where people were selling odd items from tables. Home garden produce in small amounts were on sale and one person had about a dozen small apples for sale. A potential customer picked one up and held in both hands and twisted it into two halves, so he had to be very strong to do that or their is a knack to it. It had a worm or whatever in it and the brown track mark maggots leave behind. The customer looked at the purveyor and said something and then tossed the pieces into the air towards him and walked away. Shortly after there was a commotion of excitement, as people around communicated with each other, as they quickly moved to congregate into the traditional Russian shopping line for a sought out product. We investigated and realised that there were about ten or more cases of oranges that had arrived which were in big demand. We were taken to a Russian Orthodox Church , a beautiful place where the congregation were singing so beautifully, the priest had a very deep voice like Ivan Rubinoff. We felt as if we were intruding as it was obvious the congregation was not happy about being presented to the tourists as they were, but it was lovely singing and I am grateful for the experience. One evening we went down to the Ob River where except for a big stocky Russian was deserted. The sun was setting and the Russian guy strolled over and he had a unlit cigarette in his mouth and he obviously was making signs that he wanted a light. I pulled out a box of matches that were of Asian origin. He looked at them with much interest, struck one to light his cigarette and put the box in his pocket. He said something in a voice that did not make me comfortable about asking for them back, and he walked away. He was welcome to them. One night about half a dozen of us went to the hotel restaurant as we heard a live band performing. We did not know that it operated as a club in the evening. We went in and felt a little uncomfortable as it was obvious that we were tourists which sparked some interest from the clientele. We did not feel that welcome really. However, we bought some beers and sat at our table. The clientele were enjoying themselves just like we would in a club of our own, we began to feel more relaxed and had a few more beers although we did not get up to he dance floor. I have to say that Russian women are generally nice looking and some more so. We had other experiences and I am glad that we did stop over in Novosibirsk, but I sometimes think that the three weeks or more that we spent in the USSR was too long. One thing though, we went to Asia when it was not as westernised as it is these days and I believe that it was probably more interesting then than now. As for the people, generally I think they just want a happy life like we do, but politics, bad rouge and dishonest people, and increasing mad population growth in some countries, just keeps on messing things up. } –
How To Start Running Pay Per Call Marketing Course (144)
- Leonidas K. { Hi Shauna, most of the content is about generating traffic for an offer/product using pay per call traffic. It's not specifically geared towards just "affiliate" offers. Most of the time, running "direct" to a buyer/client is more profitable as well. } –
- Shauna { Hey will your training teach us how to start/offer a pay per call program without an affiliate network? } –
The Ultimate List of Pay-Per-Call Networks (68)
- Leonidas K. { I'm not exactly sure how your website works, since it doesn't exactly look to offer anything. Nonetheless, if a networks deems that you are running fraudulent traffic, instead of continuing to let you make them money as well, then they can rightfully suspend your payment. Some networks will still pay out, indicating that they clearly don't value the relationship with their advertiser. Either way, I wish you luck in getting your funds back. } –
Monterrey, Mexico & Getting Robbed By Airport Security (2)
- Leonidas K. { Mexico has definitely improved substantially since the 90's and early 2000's. Why not give Mexico another spin to the areas you were before, out of nostalgia. It's just down the street from the states. } –
- Jason { Wow, what a trip! I lived in downtown Monterrey for several years back in the 90's. I was in my 30's and it was a great experience for me. I loved the culture and the people. I am a musician and I was a DJ on the second largest station (Planeta 104.5) in Monterrey. I managed to upload some of the recordings a while back on YouTube. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bk9tIKpRnMg I recorded my first album with Sony/Columbia in Mexico City. Man, I was there for three weeks recording in Sony's studios and it was just too damn crazy for me! - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wodkZEASPzg I loved working and partying in Mexico. 🙂 But decided to come back to the States in the early 2000's. Still miss the food and the beautiful Señoritas. It was a great experience... One I would never trade for anything! } –

Bonus: Overcoming An Google Ads Suspension (10)
- Leonidas K. { Hey Hector, I would recommend running it through a VPS if you decide to 'double-bid'. But I ultimately, wouldn't recommend doing this, because Googles algorithms might suspend you. And getting a new account with suspended ID information is a pain in the ass. } –
