After being unsuccessful with my latest airline sponsorship selection test (only 9 out of 600 got a “maybe”!) I sat down and looked at my facts and figures for the past 4 months and tried to work out exaclty how much it would take for me to possible raise the money to pay my own way through flying school. This has always been my target, but web developement has been something I have taught myself, and its taken a while to get to grips with the finer points on monetising and getting traffic.

A  quicklook at the stats:

20,000 impressions made me about £300. My target to pay for flying school is £60,000! So staying at the same kind of conversion rate as I’ve been experiencing over the past few months, it would take in the region of 4,000,000 impressions to generate the kind of income required! Obviously 6000 impressions a month isnt going to cut it, since it would take about 600 months at this rate to get my target!

On the 17th of February I’ll be jetting off to London to take part in the first round of tests for this years Etihad Cadet Pilot Scheme. Fingers crossed I’ll do my best on the day and will just have to wait and see what they think. A good nights rest before, and a good breakfast should set me up nicely for these tests. No one knows what exaclty is in the tests, but thats the whole point I guess! So far my preparation has consisted of practice IQ tests to try and get my brain back in gear!

Good Luck to all who are sitting the tests!
