DropSend Did Advertise

Thanks to those who stopped by today to correct my post on DropSend, and how it is not worth $1 million.

One of those who stopped by, dk, actually is from the UK, and took a picture of an ad that Carson Systems ran in a magazine, Creative Review. As dk pointed out, he found this ad after Ryan Carson declared:

It markets itself - We spend zero money on advertising and DropSend revenue steadily climbs every month.

Ryan himself stopped by to explain that he had forgotten about the ad, as it had been unsuccessful, and a slow month for CR; the ad was only 1800 pounds (how do you do the British pound symbol in Blogger?). Using current conversion rates, that works out to almost $3,400.

Considering the site has made under $70,000 in gross profit for the one year they've been in existence, this one ad was 5% of their income.

If your take home pay is $5,000 each month, and you spend $250 on gas, that is 5%. Do you ever forget that you bought gas during the month?

How do you just forget about that?
