Hey Guys,

Long time reader, first time poster. I am at a complete stand still in my business. I have been making niche sites for a number of years and have had great success with it. A few months ago I decided to package up all my knowledge into a handy little course and create a website around it. I used Optimise Press to get it all setup with a different theme for my homepage.

To date I have not sold a single course directly. I don't know where I am going wrong. I admit my sales page is not the usual fancy optimise press in your face conversion monster. I wanted to move away from that. I get most of my sales from Groupon, Amazon, Living Social and a few others but the numbers just aren't there. I think this is in part to do with the name of the couse. "Learn to create an income online"- Yuck!

This is what they wanted to go with, and hey, who am I to argue with these billion dollar multi corps. It has really got me down, thinking that if they can't sell my course with the billions of dollars researched on conversions on their website, how the hell am i going to sell mine?

I have seen the success Google Sniper has had and I know of a few others out there that are supposed to be decent but I really think mine has potential. The business is in very early stages, I am obviously not giving up but looking for guidance.

What can I do to take this to the next level? Have had some relative success with Facebook Post boosting and have tried to promote my website but I know that the website is just not conversion friendly.

Can anyone tell me what I should do for traffic? I have a list of about 5,000 but these are all in a separate business in the Psychology Niche.

I have used 7search but had no success with it, not a single sale over around 500 clicks. And this was promoting a lead page. I actually only manged to capture around 20 e-mails. Money well spent eh?


Would love if someone could point me in the right direction.

Thanks for your time.

    why not sell it here on the warrior form as a WSO?

    Make it an affiliate product and let others do the work for you

    or use a high converting squeeze page to build a list and use your follow up emails to sell your product, use solo ads and safe swaps for targeted leads.

    and in the mean time sell it on promopit.com and similar places.

    Good luck!

      Thanks alot man. Any recommendations for Squeeze pages? I have optimise press already so I could use that. Never done solo ads before? Any good places to get them?

      Love the idea about selling it here, great plan! Going to look into this now.

        Optimise press should be good enough, make a few variations of squeezepages and split test them for optimal results.

        a good place for solo ads is safe swaps, you can buy solo ads there but also "swap" use the lists of the other niche you are in to "swap" a solo ad, be clear about what niche it is to the other person you are doing business with though!

        Tip: look for solo sellers who systematically over deliver clicks and have positive customer feedback!

      JVZoo and WarriorPlus are good places to promote affiliate products/programs as well.

    If this is the case, why not work to scale up your "great success" and make it hugely profitable rather than chasing something that hasn't worked for you? When you have something that works . . . stick with it.

      While I appreciate your comment, I think its a bit ridiculous. Why not give up on your dreams of owning a biz opp and continue what you were doing.

      I want my own business and product. The sheer amount of work that goes into creatine one niche site is unimaginable now after google updated its algorithms. While I love the work, i would much prefer to have one course making me the same money and outsource the administration. Time=Money.
