You really kidding. rght? On the HOME Page itself, the post headings and the few lines of matter under it doesn't make any sense at all.

Are you using some kind of AUTOBLOGGING or AUTOPOSTER software to get those posts?

Hi Byron,

Every post on your blog is a sales pitch - that's why you're not getting any sales. I didn't even notice that you had affiliate links up there.

Thanks

You might not like what I say - but I believe it.
Build it, make money, then build some more
Some old school smarts would help - and here's to Rob Toth for his help. Bloody good stuff, even the freebies!

Byron, you need to give readers a reason to come back to your blog and to read your blog. Spamming them with sales pitches will certainly not make any sales, sort of like the people who spam with Twitter and the people who spam their lists aren't as successful as those who provide quality content that builds trust and make people want to read what you write.

Then they'll be more apt to check out your products or affiliate products your recommend.

EDIT - If you have HostGator make sure you are looking at the stats provided by awstats in your cpanel. You can get a lot more detailed traffic information.

Thanks

Bryon it appears you are using one of the automated content plugins that is pulling the videos in for you? No? If you aren't then you need to get videos that are truly informative, show people step by step how to do something without overly emphasizing a product or costing them money. Remember, people like to see FREE, and while they may be willing to pay for a product, your sales pitches and recommendations mean a whole lot more if they know you and know that you will steer them to a good product that will be cost effective.

Yes I am using a plugin.. That at the moment allows me to pull videos from youtube based on three keywords, or categories

This is an example of a WordPress page, you could edit this to put information about yourself or your site so readers know where you are coming from. You can create as many pages like this one or sub-pages as you like and manage all of your content inside of WordPress.

This is your about us page ? would you buy from this person ?

I always find it ironic when someone asks for help either to get traffic or monetize it and when you check out their blog it's full of how to make money products.

Read some of the books you're selling and you'll probably find all of the answers you need.

You find it ironic? Then you are in the wrong place.. I am sure that I am not the only nor will be the last person to ask for help even if they have got loads of books telling you how to do it this way and that way

Sometimes you can get information overload with all the information that we have. That is why we are here asking for peoples personal help, because they know what works and what dont.. And they can tell you in the own unqiue way..

Instead of reading a book, you more like get a personal touch

You need to be aware of the term "hits"...It has many different definitions.

Technically, a "hit" is anytime the server is asked for a file. This means if your homepage has 10 graphics, it will be 11 hits, the 10 graphics + the html file.

If the html file refers to a css file, then add another "hit".

Then you have SE spiders, so if a couple of spiders visit your pages, you could easily have a few hundred "hits" without a real person even seeing your page.

What you really want to look for is "unique visitors". Even this has different definitions as to what is unique, but it will give a much better idea of your real "eyeballs".

Page views is another stat that's better than "hits".

All of these terms can be calculated in different ways, but "hits" is really a useless stat. Use one of the others I suggested.

I echoe Kurts comments about the 'hits'.

Also, most of the content on the main page is spammy keyword filled nonsense and the main purpose of the site is completely lost amongst it all.

I imagine most visitors would see that and leave quickly.

You need to make sure that not every post is a sales pitch and that your pages have been done right i.e. your about me page. I would say on my make money online blog one in five is a pitch and i get good sales rates from this.

If i was visiting a blog and every post was a pitch i wouldnt go back.

Also i use statcounter.com and get great results from it before i used a plugin and the results kept messing up.

Did you start this thread because you need help? People ARE trying to help you but all you are doing is making excuses and otherwise being non-satisfied with what you are being told.

Dont get me wrong I understand where you are coming from.. But if I need to change the whole layout.. Then you can understand...

No, sorry, I don't understand - if it's not gonna work like it is, it's not going to work like it is - you either change the whole layout or sorry about your luck when that is the case. Happens that way - happened to my first site, too, took a lot of work to change it. I could have argued with everyone, too - but it wouldn't have made me any cash to do so.

One thing is certain - you need to get a grip on your attitude when you ask for help or it won't be long before you find nobody willing to give any.

Wow where did that come from?? Your post is 100% compeletly wrong.. Firslty you make a big statement that I am giving attuide to people when I am not. That is the first big mistake you have made about me..

The second mistake is that you have gotten the post completely and wrong..

If you read the whole thread and the whole thread about the bits that included changing the whole layout or just one page.. There is one very gone reason why I said that I'l do it after I change the whole layout (that is if I need to change it)

1) The layout of any site is more complex than changing the text on one page, do we agree that?

2) Also I never said that I wouldnt do.. Never said that

Please if you are going to make a judgement about someone make sure you get your fact rights first...

Ricky - if I hadn't read the whole thread I'd not have found that statement, eh? You sound argumentative.......you might want to take that as a clue rather than further arguing.

Second --- Uh....it's a wordpress site - you can make a LOT of changes very rapidly.
The one that would take longest on there is to redesign your header. It's not a good idea to fashion a header that looks like every scam site on the net. People are getting jaded and used to getting ripped off by sites using pictures of money flying all over.
Second -- write some of your own material or find someone to do it for you. Use an article or two from ezinearticles to just purely inform people - keeps them reading and builds trust.
If you don't know your own subject well enough to write an article or two about it - you may be in trouble from the get go.
Other than those things, the layout isn't particularly bad itself that I can see, but I'm no artist.
Those are the two things that I see that would have me clicking off in a heartbeat. You can be upset about that, or you can just ignore it, or you can get ideas from it - however you like. But do know that each comment in here represents the opinion of someone who might have found your site just surfing and you can see by the comments - nobody here would have stayed on the site. There is nothing more really to say than that.

Heysal

If you make a snap judgement towards someone then how do you expect them to act?? Come one you really cant make a comment and not for the person that you are making the commenting on to defend themselves.. Why do I say defend, because you make an aggressive comment towards them.. So of course then I am going to be argumentive towards you and only towards you..

Changing and wordpress blog and can be diffucult or easy it depends on the design that you have implented.. I.e who's theme you are already using....

The header is something that I got professional done, from a decent trusted graphics designer..

Does anyone else agree that the header looks like one from a scam site?

I have written a few articles and put them onto my blog. but I have just not stuck to it. I have even submit some already to ezine articles.

A little bit hesitant to post here as might get nailed for making a comment by the OP. I do understand that in this post you ask for help but it seems you not happy about any advice given here.

If it is worth anything of help to you. Your site seem to be unorganized with no purpose or structure. Your header is not as good as you make out and don't look professional at all.

The domain you are using is also aimed at the hosting side and not related to the stuff you sell.

But then again what do I know I am only a imlady

Byron,
I am only going to speak for myself here, I know I have attempted to help you on many occassions, including through PM and Email. What you need to understand is that it is kind of hard to help someone that jumps from one thing to another.

I understand the information overload but you need to "STOP" and work on one project at a time. I think I posted this same thing on a thread yesterday for you. If you are going to work on your blog then do that, if you are going to get a membership site then do that -- BUT stick to ONE thing!!

With that said let me correct a few things here...

1. You do NOT need any stats program, you have AWSTATS and that is all you need. It shows "Unique Visitors" and that is the number you go by...

2. Your blog is supreme host and talks about packages, well guess what - It is targeting "Hosting Customers" and this is one reason why no sales... Your domain names tells me you sell hosting and you header text (which I am sorry was not done professionally) reaffirms that by saying "superb packges and prices"

3. Your blog post, have you looked at them ?

Internet Marketing is easy, anyone can do it

Some tips for beginners on getting started with internet marketing Bookmark It Hide Sites $$('div.d9960').each( function(e) { e.visualEffect('slide_up',{duration:0.5}) }); Read More →

Not only is that bad on your visitors but it is also bad for seo and search engines.

4. You have got to understand and realize that these "resell rights" "ebooks" "software" and etc has a bad rap to begin with and many first think "Oh here we go another warez freak that stole someone else stuff". This may not be the case but many will think that because the fact is the way this is seen and worded tells visitors to run. This is why it is suggested you create your own product...

5. If you can not make money yourself then do not try to sell a product or service that you claim can make someone money... This will give you a bad reputation because as it was mentioned you come accross as an expert by trying to sell make money dreams but yet you are in a forum asking for help. Trust me these threads are indexed in google and nothing saying your visitors will not see these threads.

Not trying to be rude or harsh, I am trying to help you and explain it like it is....

James

EDITED: I wanted to add the following because Art above makes a very good point.

6. What happened to providing totally free 100% ad free information to your readers ? Why does everything need to be about sales ? Make a post that provides very informative information for free and then have ads on the side or below your post and etc...

Every single post does not need to be an advert.. I will give you a great example.

Twitter - When I look in my DM box and I see "Hey thanks for following me, now check out this great site that will try to scam you by selling you junk ebooks" Guess what happens to those DM's ??? If you guessed right then you know I click on the trashcan icon and delete them, I do not read them, I do not visit the site, I do not buy...

This is the reason why ... I do not know you from Adam but yet you are pushing your junk on my just because I accepted your request for a follow. Why not try to respond with a "real" message that you type yourself and speak to me like another human ??? Why use automative tools to mass send out your spam ??? You would get a great deal further if you actually sent me a DM that was typed up by you for real.

I send DM's that are written by me and no they are not sales pitches, they are real human interactions. Go ask Lindsay or a few others on here and they will tell you I actually respond to DM's or Write DM's directly from my twitter account and I type it in by hand and I personally call the person by their "Name" ...

Alright James

You are one that few that I truely respect on here.. You can get away with saying anything to me

Regarding the graphics I did get them done professionally by these guys Planet Divinity that does alot of ebooks headers, etc etc.. I am now shocked that people are saying it isnt..

Regarding the blog or membership at the moment I am in two minds.. My blog has been up and running, but has really been making money that is why I am now deciding to change it...

Regarding the blog post problem. I believe that is called by the plugin that I am using when it gets videos from youtube it displays that horrible text.

People are claiming that the video posts or posts are sales pages.. Not my intention at all.. I put in a keyword called Internet Marketing, and that is what it found... I was aiming for instructive videos on my website...

If resell rights are bad and dead not a lot people would still be doing it.. I know someone else that sells a lot from 3 blogs that he runs every week

Thanks

Fonts are different sizes and you even have sample text within some of the posts such as "image goes here". So it looks like a site that isn't ready for prime time yet.

Then I read some of the blog headlines and think, "ok, this guy is gonna show me how to.....". But when I click on the link, it's just an ad to sell an ebook or something.

If you're gonna try to compete with the other thousands of PLR product sellers out there, you gotta make a choice.

1. Be a storefront and sell each package individually (like www.master-resell-rights.com).

2. Be a membership site and only let members download the products once inside.

3. Be a blog and give useful information and sell your own products or affiliate products.

Right now I'm not sure what you're trying to do (no offense). Hope my opinion helps. We really do want you to succeed.

Mike,
This was my point to Byron.. The membership script that he has seen can do and will allow all 3 of the above to be done at the same time...

James,

If that's the case, then he should look into that script. Especially if it gives him a more elegant solution to what he wants to do. What he has now just isn't cutting it.

Can you direct me to that script? I'd be interested in looking at it myself

Friday Blowout - Every Friday we have a great new offer

WednesdayGift - Every Wednesday A New Gift

Sunday Surprise | Every Sunday One Great Offer

you well see that he has just created a blog to sell products that has plr or mrr rights to them. None are his own products.. And he still has a nice turn around

Oh btw the www.master-resell-rights.com doesnt seem to come up with anything.. No storefront

I looked at those three sites and all of them are using the blog format for a storefront (the first example I gave in my previous post). And this is fine because that's their focus. Being a storefront. Also, their website names automatically tell me they're going to try to sell me something once I get there.

If I continue to visit the site, I'm presented with a nice clean design (with all three of them). There's no confusion with navigation either. You click on a blog post and you're taking to the product information. They don't have lots of other banners, or sidebar posts trying to send me somewhere else. And the way their posts are created, they probably have good ranking because of all the keywords.

None of the posts are trying to teach me anything. None are trying to give me reviews. They all just contain information about a product. That makes the site very focused. And like I said, it's basically a storefront in a blogs clothing, so it works.

If that's the route you want to go, then I would suggest changing your domain name (or at least redirect your current one to a new one like previously mentioned), and change your Wordpress theme to something cleaner.

If you want to offer tips or instructions or reviews, then focus on that. Make ALL...and I mean ALL...of your blog posts some sort of review or some sort of tip or something that's informative that the visitor wants to learn. THEN you can mention at the end of the posts one of your PLR products. And since you own them, you can easily open them up, read them, and review them.

So basically, have your blog posts provide useful information that a visitor can use. OR provide product information of the products your selling like a storefront. But mix the two or you'll confuse your visitors, like I was when I went there.

Mike

P.S. Sorry about the link. It's supposed to be (http://www.master-resale-rights.com/)

Hi Byron

I hope you've taken James's (Rich Jerk) advice to heart because he gave you the good stuff. (As well as several other people here).

As to the comments re these sites

You only have to look at the difference in quality from those to your own, (and no offence is intended)

If you truly want to go down this path, why don't you examine these sites and see what the owner is doing right, compared to yourself and emulate it. (and I'm not advocating stealing content or plagerising before someone jumps down my throat).

It's pointless trying to automate everything, as you can see from your own site you need to have the personal touch. (don't be seduced by all those automation promises, they are crap). You need to also put some actual work into it on a regular basis.

I also agree with the other posters. It's useless using that domain for selling PLR etc it just doesn't work. Why don't you use something more appropriate and use that one as a review site for hosting or something. (It's a shame to waste a good domain).

From something that James has said it sounds as though you are jumping from one project to another (A classic IM mistake). take a deep breath, sort yourself out a business plan and take it one step at a time. You'll find you get much more done

Good luck with it

Look over your page honestly and ask yourself if you would buy anything, no I am not critiquing your page but your sales page should sell you. You need to gently persuade the prospect not hit them from every angle. Provide content that they are looking for. Try not to use the shotgun approach when making offers to your prospects. They will buy if you have what they want.

To Tell the truth I use to sell web hosting through that domain name.. But because I got scammed and lost a lot of money I had to give up that side...

I do have two other domain names:

cashgeneratorsvault.com

which was going to explain how to make money on the internet, i.e google adsense, google adsense alternative

Index of /

Which was going to be a membership site offering people digitial downloads on a daily basis

Me too. I did a double-take and thought I'd landed on the wrong page.

I certainly wouldn't buy from that site. It's hard-sell and it doesn't come across as honest.

There's no personality in it either. Connect with your visitors, stop the hard-sell, and you may see a difference.

When writing reviews, I ALWAYS point out something I didn't like about it. People aren't so skeptical then.

BTW, I feel you are being defensive (rather than argumentative). If you ask for opinions, you get them.

If you don't want to hear the truth, don't ask.

If I have already brought that product then i can write something about it..

But how do I write a review and put something negative in it if a clickbank product??

Cheryl Im not trying to hard sell.. With me putting up videos I was trying to give informative information.. I.e teach people..

Are you trying to say that the video posts are wrong???

Sheesh, I didn't even mention videos! Stop trying to read between the lines!!!

Here's an example of one of my reviews: Review of The Wealthy Writer

(This is not blatant self-promotion - it's totally an example.)

I made in excess of $600 in affiliate fees for that one product. No, it's not Clickbank, but it makes no difference whether it's a Clickbank product or from some other affiliate program.

Here are a few tips:

*Add some less than glowing comments - well deserved, not for the sake of adding some - and it will help. Read as: tell the truth and don't over-rate a bad product.

*Don't use hard-sell. Write your review in a casual tone, as though you are talking to a friend.

*Buy the product if you can or ask the owner for a review copy.

I've actually already written an article on this very subject, so rather than repeat myself, I'm going to direct you to the article.

It's not a 300 word article, it's much longer because it contains totally relevant and full-blown information.

Sorry I think you or me have got a little bit confused

You said that it appears that I am trying to hard sell on my blog.. The reason I asked about the video post on it.. Because that is what most of my blog is all about, that is why I need to know if I have chosen the wrong videos.

If most of the video post that you are coming accross in the Feature Post section are hard selling a product, then that is not what I am after...

Because there is only a few actual written articles on there, or salespage

Stop asking me about the videos. I didn't even look at them. (Did I mention them? No.)

Your copy is the problem. Your header is the problem. Your domain name is the problem.

I could probably also add that your attitude is the problem.

Listen to what everyone is saying and do something about it. Otherwise, next time you ask for advice, you won't find any on the WF.

If we were on the same wave length I'd be happy. You're not listening to what people are telling you repeatedly.

When they do make suggestions, you knock them down, just like you've done to me in this post.

Ok then all I can say to that is fine... Because I am getting accused of things that I am not doing.. I am not knocking anyone down, far from it.. Yes I had asked for advice, and people are giving it.. Dont get me wrong, I do appericate all the advice that I am getting.. But you must understand just because I have asked for advice and you are giving it to me does not mean you are right or are wrong, or vice versa.. Doesnt mean that I have to say yes to everything and just change things without truely fully understand where you guys are coming from

If you are getting annoyed by me asking you again and again.. Maybe it is because you are not making yourselve clear enough in the first place? Ever though of that one??

Maybe there is certain bits to what you are saying that I dont get.. Not yet.. I am trying my best here..

But if that is how you feel.. Then thanks for help so far..

Take care

Your call as to domain name, but since you're getting traffic to the current site already, why not redirect to the domain of your choice? That then utilizes the traffic you already have, but takes advantage of a more appropriate domain name.

Byron,
Donot get me wrong .. I am not saying resell rights and such are dead, but it is how you present it... If you say "We have hundreds of dollars worth of resell right products that include ebooks, software, and scripts" then most of the time a red flag goes up...

Many consumers are savvy enough to know that many resell right products are junk and have been sold over and over to the point that they hold no value. At the same time many people in IM know this same thing. So you must keep that in mind when pushing resell right products. Are the brand new, have they been sold 10,000 times over, and etc .. These are questions you should ask yourself.

Having brand new products and pushing the fact that they are brand new and never released on other sites makes a huge difference, even if it is resell rights.

Bottom line is, it is how you present the products and the target maket you are presenting it to....

With that said, you can certainly run a membership site and a blog both at the same time. You would use the blog to push the membership.. Point is though, get up and stop thinking and start doing....

James

Thanks

Hmmm...When I first opened the site, my first impression was that it was for hosting. Both the domain name and the header say hosting to me. So that would be the first thing I would change.

I actually think the layout and colors are good. But the text changes too much. Each posts should have the same text. And either do all lower case, all Title Case, or all UPPER CASE for your post headers.

Remove the Adsense box that pops up on the top of each post page. It is annoying and pushes your post down below the fold.

Do you have something you can give away for free just for their email address? Put that on the front page and offer something of value for them giving you their email. Then you can market too them later with additional items.

The adsense box at the top of every post is annoying.. Ok... The only reason I had it there was for some reason that got my clicks being there.... I can easily remove it

I used to give something away from free.. Like a report or product but hardly was getting any takers, probably like you said because of the domain name issue...

Because I am using an auto update plugin for the post section I dont control how the text is displayed or what is said in the actual posts.. The only ones I control is the ones that I personally write myself

You need to put up an index page on digitalresellersvault.com because it's currently showing your index of pages etc.

At the very least put up a redirect to another site so you benefit from any accidental traffic.

I was going to use that a membership site.. But I am not sure now....

Which one is it?

How much have you paid each Warrior who has given you VERY VALUABLE information/suggestions so far?

I haven't even seen much gratitude from you, since you are fighting every suggestion tooth and nail...

My suggestion:

Take a look back through all the GREAT FREE ADVICE given to you PERSONALLY throughout this thread and ACT ON IT.

Everyone who has replied here truly wants to help you; you have received tons of great advice and I hope you will implement it.
I think your header should be totally replaced, I also think your domain name isn't appropriate for anything but a hosting related site.

Thanks

I have to agree with others that there is too much selling and not enough quality blog posts on the site. Hard to figure out what the blog is supposed to be about.

I am hearing other people saying the same thing. And I am sorry if I am sound dumb to the the rest of the people on here.. When I ask where they are seeing it and if they are classing the Featured Post section as hard selling people...

Are most people just looking at the main page? And not going to posts?? If it just on the main page then I can redesign it all....

Thanks

Here's my take on this... You want our advice, you don't want to utilize it, and you want us to make your decisions for you.

Before you protest, yes, you do - you want us to tell you if the videos are okay, if you should redesign the site, if you should get a new domain, if you should get a new header, and more.

We cannot make your decisions. Take advantage of all this advice - which customers would have to pay for - and use it.

Every person who has given you information has been clear about it. You simply don't want to listen.

Enough of the verbal slanging match. Take action and fix the problem, otherwise this has been a major waste of everyone's time.

Cheryl

Here is the problem you are getting a lot of people saying the same thing, but you are not prepared to listen. No, you don't have to agree with them and change it, but if you ask for help then you will get honesty here. It doesn't help that the only person you trust is James. James is a great guy but if his advice is the only worth listening to, then you should have PMed him and quit asking for something you don't want.

Here is what I see, you keep talking about videos but they are the least of your problems.

Domain name - wrong, why not change and sell hosting?

Header says the same thing

Above the fold are two things, sign up for when we are updated, why would I want to sign up to be updated when I haven't looked around your site?

Featured Product is Learn how to make money from traffic 38 part video course. Read the full story it goes to the sales page.

7 more days until living the ... is a video which is a sales pitch for MLM with a non clickable link to sign up to their newsletter

Full clickbank cash ... is a video which is a sales pitch and you have to copy and paste the link to go to the sales page.

BTW useful information isn't a video which is a sales pitch.

Are you jajeisan because if you're not then you are giving someone else the sale if there is one.

You keep talking about the vidoes, they are all video sales pitches, they are not informative.

Your site is full of sales pitches, and you haven't got it right to have it as a blog with information and a storefront which lists all the products

You can keep it as it is because you don't see a problem with it, or you can listen to what the people have said and make your own decision to change things

  Maybe they tried to say it.. but not how you said straight to the point so I know what people are talking about. But anyway that's another story
  
  True people said there was a lot of sales pages on it... With the actual products that I have put on it.. But not to the posts that are getting update on a regular basis
  
  Again thanks for your help

It would have taken you the same time that everybody else has spent if you had done some research on your own site. If you don't know what's there, then you don't deserve to own a site.

You are not reading carefully what everyone has said because you didn't want to make changes, you argued that it wasn't all sales pitches, yet you didn't bother to check.

You are not seeing the same as everybody else, because you don't care enough about your site to check and see what they were seeing.

You were given great advice about your other site which is showing the index but you dismissed it as irrelevant. If you don't understand the problem they solved with the advice then you need to get back to basics.

You are speed reading the answers and making assumptions, and one of the assumptions you have made is my name. Take a look and see what you have called me and what my name is.

Sorry for getting your name wrong but that is what a lack of sleep does to you...

I didnt dismissed the information regarding my other site.. The only reason I said what I did towards my other site is because it is not up and live. No one can see it without me supplying the url link...

Bev what did I ask? I asked if the video post were creating sales pages.. For a starters if I didnt care about my site then I would not have started this post to beginning.. Do you think I get a pleasure out all you guys criticising it?? Come on think about... And yet again you have made a persumption which is completely wrong...

I am allowed to questions things, as well as you guys are allowed to give opionons.. It is the way of the world...

The posts change on a daily basis so some of them could be sales page and some can be informative information..

The term that I was using to search for videos from youtube were internet marketing, google adsense, and another one which I cant remember at the moment)

Thanks

I have read through the whole of this thread many times, and yes you did dismiss the advice, because you totally ignored it. BTW you might not have the site live, but Google has it indexed so your assumption is wrong again.

Presumption no I didn't ... I stated facts which you are not seeing

Everybody was telling you the site was full of sales pitches, they saw everything as a sales pitch, yet you refused to believe it.

If you didn't want honest answers to your questions then you shouldn't have started.

You have insulted many people who helped you here, but I am assuming you don't see it that way because it is part of who you are. Yet you get defensive when people see in the words you write someone who is maybe the opposite of what you want to be.

I suggest you take the blinkers off, and read the replies and your replies back without knowing what is going on in your brain, because most of us here are not mind readers.

Nobody said you can't ask questions, but people don't expect the person who asks the questions to get annoyed, upset, abusive, angry and any other terms which often happens because they don't get the answers they want. That isn't only about you but many people who ask questions on the forum who don't get the answers they want.

They ask questions for 1 reason to get their egos rubbed, and to say how wonderful they are. Again this is true for many people so don't take it personally. We have a word for people like that we call them plonkers

I've just spoken to james just for a little bit and I am already quietly impressed. You know when you speak to someone you actually get some sort of confidence, like yes this is possible..

My first thing to do is to get some shut eye and think about a decent domain name

To me the header whether it is spammy or not has a very basic problem, it's not relevant to the site.

Superb packages of what, hosting? But then no hosting is being sold.

You could kill the site of the irrelevant information, and put hosting packages and information on there.

One of the things that you need to do is build a relationship with your readers and customers first.

You should give away a free product in exchange for their e-mail address and permission to send them a newsletter. (That was one thing that took me from 32 subscribers to over 300 in a matter of days many years ago.)

When they trust you, they'll start buying from you. Also, look at narrowing it down, and finding a few sub-niches that you can direct people to.

Hope that helps you.

That's what I am finally realising

That I need to narrow my market down more and more, which gives me the better chance to start a successful online buiness, etc..

The only problem is trying to find a part of a certain niche that I might be interested in that isnt already over populated with other websites, etc.. Easier said that done... lol

But I am pretty sure with James help I can get there
