Need help with my method

14 replies
I have a method that drives 14,000 hits of traffic+ per week, and I don't know how to monetize the traffic.

I've tried CPA offers, I've tried running google adsense. And it's just yielding any results, like REALLY low end results. I don't really know what to do at this point with this method and I might let it go.

I know theres a clickjacking youtube subscribers/facebook page likes - And I was thinking of maybe using my traffic for that, but I don't know.

Anyone with ideas would be really appreciated..

    Firstly find out your traffic sources.. Is there any relevancy in the traffic & offers that you are promoting? I hope you get the point.
    You should promote a health related offer to the traffic which is interested in health niche. So promote relevant offers depending on, from which sites you are getting traffic.

    Hard question to answer without more information, OP, but I can give you a general (and hopefully useful) pointer. You need to increase the quality of that traffic and at the same time capture as much of it as possible for repeat use. The name of the game here is Increase Quality + Build Traffic Assets. There are many ways to go about this and the approach you use will depend on the niche and the origin of the traffic. In general terms, though, and keeping the above formula in mind, a standard method is to filter out the junk traffic with an opt-in form and then strengthen the quality once a portion of it become subscribers. On the back end of this system, you grow your socials, you leverage your traffic to grow more traffic (I like to seed content in this way for viral marketing), and you concentrate more on giving than selling. It depends on the traffic, on the niche, but you'll often earn far more by being an information giver than a salesman.

    1. Sell your method.
    2. Sell your method to that traffic as well.
    3. Open a service to bring traffic to your costumers.

    Good luck.

      This is the problem with information selling. He can't sell the method. Not yet. He has yet to get it working. Sure, some buyers might get it working, but most won't. All you have now is a way to generate unique visitors that deliver low-performance EPCs. I fully support selling the method, sure, but only when the OP has it working efficiently.

    Have you tried funneling your traffic to an opt-in form to build a list? Then you can survey your list to find out what your subscribers REALLY want. Once that becomes clear, you can create a product that meets their needs.

    What is the quality of your traffic? Where is it coming from? That's the number one question I would ask myself is where is it coming from and do the demographics line up to what I have to offer!

    What is your traffic quality. What is your traffic worth. Where is your traffic coming from. Why do people visit your page. How long do they stay on your page. Why do they leave. How do you build trust with your audience...

    You have tried to monetize with CPA. But it didn't really work well or didn't you monetize it in a right way...

    You're too much busy with how to make money online, that you're forgetting that money is a side product. Focus on building a audience, deliver value to the audience, survey them, get to know what they want, then give them what they want!

    Hi snowmandrules,

    You didn't mention the source of your traffic, nor how well targeted the source. Unfortunately, traffic that is not well targeted isn't worth much. It is only well targeted traffic that will have significant value.

    If you have not found a way to get laser focused traffic then you haven't found anything of value yet. Keep trying, and focus on the targeting, not the volume. The value is in the targeting.

    The traffic fits an exact demographic between 18-32 but that's it. It's completely untargeted traffic.

      To get traffic to convert from my understanding is that it HAS to be targeted. You can have a million hits in a day but if your offer doesn't resonate with them, it won't convert.

      On the other hand if it is, and most of the time it will be a lower number of hits, it's lazer targeted and you are putting an offer in front of them that they actually want!

    You still need to know where it is coming from.
    You could test different products to see if it converts.

    You will have to just keep test and tweaking to see
    What brings you results, try cpa or something of that
    Manner.

    Good job on driving traffic though man!

    Is the traffic targeted to a specific niche/problem or is it just a bunch of random traffic?

    If the traffic is targeted to a specific niche then figure out wheat the problems are and provide a solution whether it be a product or service. You can provide the product/service or be an affiliate.

    If the traffic is random and you haven't had any great success with CPA or adsense, then I would still continue to test different offers and hopefully stumble across something that takes off.
