Well this was an easy week!
Last week we had to work on setting up an Ads campaign on Google AdWords. I went through everything the site had to offer. This week when I went into the class I realized I’d done all the work required for work this week last week. Quite on accident, but it worked out beautifully. I managed to actually post before any of the others in class and add some decent responses to their posts as well.
The week was going fine, until tonight.
We have to start our Ad campaigns by tonight. I went in, fixed it so that I wouldn’t be billed past $25 and went in to enter my billing information. Everything was going fine. Earlier today I was going to set up a business account with my mom, but we never made it into the bank – due to long lines. (Friday is Payday!) So I was going to use my regular account. I realized that I’d soon have to replace my card because it expires in July and I’m heading out of state to work for 6 months. After that fright I finished entering my information and hit Submit. I waited then recieved this little sign. My card was being declined by either the bank or the credit card company. One of them was preventing my card from being used.
I’m stuck!
I sent a message to my Professor, informing him of the blip. I’m hoping to get it all straightened out before Monday – as having the campaign up and running is crucial to the last 6 weeks of class.
All in all I think this was a much better week.
Oh! I was also able to finally fix my laptop! Two weeks ago the screen cracked. I ordered a part from Dell, but they refunded me and didn’t ship the piece without telling me why. Last Friday I ordered a new part. I missed the first drop off Tuesday due to helping out at a food shelter. It finally came Wednesday. After me trying to get some stubborn screws out my dad and I finally did it from 9:30-10:30. I learned how to fix it – and also discovered a few missing part (not crucial really) as well as a broken piece. I’m really glad I didn’t have the Geek Squad fix it. I couldn’t afford the extra $100 it would have cost for labor – or the possibility of having to fix more problems.
So – a good end to a week!
