Guys, Im Lost!

Hello,

Keep trying and don't give up. I been at this for about 2 months and I started to make sales 2 weeks after I build my own website for my product. I would suggest article marketing to start. Make sure you do your keyword research for articles.

Also, make a blog, I suggest using yourname.com and use that as a vehicle to drive traffic to other sites you have and or products you are promoting.

Its difficult when you start out..You just have to keep trying and keep the faith man. The system works, it's just not as easy as one may think...

Okay, so in other words, you're building an opt in list and that list is not
responding to your offer.

Well, there can be MANY reasons for that happening. Without knowing all
the ins and outs of every little thing you've done, it would be impossible
to say what the problem(s) are.

However, here is a list of possibilities off the top of my head. This list is
not all inclusive.

1. The people you're targeting are simply not interested in what you're
selling. Possible cause for this is that the opt in process (squeeze page)
is saying one thing but the product you're pitching doesn't tightly match
what you're getting them in for.

2. In your followup newsletter, you're not showing them the true value
of what you're offering. The prospect doesn't see what's in it for them.

3. You're not giving enough info in your newsletter...too many sales
pitches so they're tuning you out. Or worse, you don't have a newsletter
and are just sending out one email with a sales pitch. In most cases,
that won't do it.

4. You're giving away too much free info. The prospect has no reason to
buy your product because you've given the cow away with the milk.

5. Your sales page isn't doing the job it's supposed to do. I haven't looked
at it so I can't say whether or not this may be the case. But if you presell
well enough in your newsletter, you should be able to convert. I make
sales WITHOUT a sales page.

6. You don't have a big enough list yet. Assuming you get a 20% CTR on
your emails and a 2% conversion, that means, in order to just make 1 sale,
you would have to have 250 subscribers. Without knowing how big your
list is, I can't say whether or not this is the problem, and that's assuming
a 2% conversion. Poor sales pages can convert at a tenth of a percent
or worse.

7. Is the price all wrong? Is it too high or is it so low that the prospect
sees no value in it?

I could keep going but I think you see where I'm heading with this. There
are just too many variables involved to answer your question intelligently.
But as you can see, a lot can go wrong with this whole process.

You simply need to go through the process from beginning (the opt in) to
end (the last sales pitch) to see what the problem is.

There are no shortcuts.

Hey dude, I know how it feels I never made a single sale for almost 8 months and in that time also had a damaging affect on my bank account by adwords.

It takes time and patience, but you got to find a system out there that works. From my findings so far not many are using the exact same but a lot use the model.. traffic > landing/squeeze > market.

Provide value to your traffic for maximum returns or the other route is SEO to the top. Something that is a leanred over time and mistakes skill though.

I highly reccommend setting up a landing page with your offer. Then writing article after article to direct traffic to it.

You can even build landing pages with Squidoo or WetPaint to save money although having an autoresponder can be important if you want to give something away for free to begin with.

Although, maybe joining something like NPC or WealthAffiliate would be a good way to go or to find someone in the WSO section who is launching a coaching course.

Best of Luck with your business venture.

Mark.

May I mention that you want to asked the site where you got the template from? I am sure they will be of great help to you as he is to all his members.

Two things I have noticed with the website you have built!

1. It is to cluted with lots of words but no video! and you know that has been offered to help you get sign ups.
2. you need to space out some of the site.

Cheers

Go and post on Yahoo answers for instant targeted traffic.

If you can create videos and post it on Youtube, it will also bring targeted traffic.
