Is 1000 uniques per day a lot?

It depends on the price of the product your selling

But at 100 of your at 2 percent that means you selling 2 products every 100 people that come to your website

With 1000 that means 20 products everyday

so if you make 100 dollars per sale then yes i think you would be set

If you make 10 dollars per sale i would keep your job

I think 1000 hits a day is not bad. It is better than what I am getting. I would like to get ten thousand though. I guess I have alot of work to do.

how many articles are you posting a week now?

It should not be that hard to get 1 or 2 thousand UVs a day.

to quit work you would need multiple income streams, what happens if you loose all those visitors and there is no other income to fall back on? i think the "Don't put all your eggs in one basket" comes to mind

1000 uniques is not bad but please don't be so quick to quit your day job

If you stay consistent with your marketing methods you should be able to reach 1,000. All you need to do is increase the consistency of your marketing efforts and make sure you are always promoting your site through as many free methods as possible if you aren't using PPC.

Have you considered YouTube marketing? Could be a traffic goldmine for you especially for a site in the diet niche. Just a thought.

Is this your product or are you promoting as an affiliate?
If it's your product do you have an affliate program?
Do you do any paid advertising?
Are you distributing free reports?
Are you building a list?
Are you building links?
etc, etc...

Jake it's pretty simple, for now you need to put in 10x more work to get 10x the results.

Links are really really important. You want 1000's of them. When I work I spend most of my time link building.

I also spend a bit each month on paid ads. Half ppc, half banners. Yes banners. They're always profitable for me.

The good news is that once you have worked your butt off for a while the traffic will become unstoppable and you can relax. eg I just took 3 weeks off and my income grew in that time without me doing anything.

So keep doing what you're doing but more of it. Choose some more products to promote and maybe even create your own mini-product to place on the CB marketplace.

is had for even 2 get 10 unique..
i will try harder...

No, I don't think 1000 uniques per day is a lot. My friend and I threw up an adsense site about 9 months ago. He'd never worked in IM before in his life, isn't all that much of a writer, and we picked a random topic just to play around with. We put up maybe 10-20 pages of content, dropped a couple articles in some directories (< 20), and did some social bookmarking, commenting on blogs, and Yahoo Answers stuff. Pretty minimal, pretty easy. Then we just sat back and waited.

Traffic has slowly grown to the point where we're now getting almost 300 uniques/day. This is ENTIRELY organic traffic - we do exactly 0 work on this site ever. With another couple of days of effort, I'm pretty confident that we could double that or more. The key though is that we built for organic. If we were driving this all from articles, it would require constant work.

So anyway, I'd say no, if you are willing to work a bit for it, 1000 uniques a day is a very attainable goal.

1000 uniques a day is bloody good if your visitors are highly targeted and willing to open their wallets.

1000 untargeted window shoppers a day has pretty much zero value. depends how you look at it.

Going from 500 - 1000 uniques a day is 5 times harder than going from 100 - 500.

What style of site are you using? static or blog?

Blogs are much easier to drive traffic to than static websites.

If you are just using articles and bookmarking you should try article marketer and social bot to increase your traffic. these are things you have to pay for and i am under no affiliation with these sites

but article marketer can drastically increase your article marketing efforts

and social bot can drastically increase your bookmarking potential.

you should also try to include some video marketing to your mix of strategies.

I still think your doing good alot of people struggle to get 100 visitors a day.

Besides driving traffic from article directories, try a few other methods of driving traffic too. Incase one dries up you'll have other traffic coming in too. So a bit of articles on AD, a bit of squidoo, a bit of blogs, a bit of forum marketing/social bookmarking etc.

Also I would diversity with making other sites (or lists) within the same niche, but with other products. This way you don't need to worry too much about researching all over again, you just change the product you're promoting.

Definitely set up a WHOLE heap of multiple income streams, enough to be secure for the longrun if you're going to leave your job. At the same time you could save up 20k or some money as well before going IM fulltime.

100 uniques per day is good but still depends on the products and source of your income through your site... If you are just relying on adsense, that is not good... but if you have your own product, yes it is good.

Jakehyten,

You are going about this the wrong way.

You already have something out there that is getting A. Traffic and B. Making you money. That's great. To make more money, you need to increase the number of exposures to your sales message.

You DON'T have to drive more traffic to do this.

Ok, so how do I increase the exposure to my sales message without driving more traffic?

Easy...

You create an effective sales funnel.

Here's how:

Replace your sales page with a squeeze page. Get as many people to optin to your list as possible. Test different headlines, colours, pictures etc, give away a great product for free, you get the idea.

You should be able to easily create a squeeze page with a 30% opt in rate. I have squeeze pages out there with 60% optin rates.

Write (or get a freelancer to write) 40 follow up messages. Send each new prospect a new message every day.

Your squeeze page is now converting at 30%. This means with your current traffic, you can potentially get 1560 exposures to your sales message. 39 subscribers (30% of 130 uniques a day) x 40 follow up emails = 1560 exposures.

You will not receive that many in reality because of opt outs, etc. But you can expect at least 50% of that figure.

So now we know that you can expect 780 exposures to your sales message for every 130 people who visit your site over time.

Your sales letter is currently converting at 1.5%

1.5% of 780 = 11.7 sales for every 130 unique visitors (traffic you already have)

11.7 * 30 = $351 for every 130 unique visitors to your site (traffic you already have).

Bottom Line:

Sending them directly to the merchant = $30 / day
Using the sales funnel = $351 / day

Once you have done this. Go mad and drive as much traffic to your sales funnel as you can.

Hi Thomas,

Thanks.

It's a strategy I learned from Bret Hall. He knows his stuff.

The strategy works extremely well.

I recently setup shop in a new niche. I was able to sign up 300 new subscribers a day. I managed to get $0.87 profit per name per month.

One other major advantage is, once you have a decent sized list, you never have to worry about traffic again. Just hit the send button.

Depends on the quality of the traffic that these uniques are coming from.

if you have your own product thats great i used to sell diet content online and i used to do well from it. Its about getting your seo going. i would ask you to consider having other niches though as what happens if it goes down. Plus once you have 1000 hits you are more likely to get returning business. I was still getting emails from customers a year after i sold it.

In a huge niche dieting you should be able to get 1000 a day and eventually a lot more. I didn't say easily because it takes some work but if you're getting up to 20% conversion it will definitely be worth the effort.

I'm also in a very big niche. In the first year I worked up to about 300 uniques a day average. It can probably be done faster but I was a complete newbie. For the last year I've been stuck on a plateau but I expect to reach 1000 a day soon.

Why restrict yourself to articles and social marketing? According to your conversion and sale values you can make big money. I would go all out and get as much traffic as quickly as possible. Then you can invest in your site and increase conversion even further.

Use every resource you can find and even outsource some of your promotion. Sounds like you're on to a good thing.
