In Search of a Mentor - So Fed Up...

19 replies
I'm having trouble. I have websites getting hundreds to thousands of visitors per month and barely make any sales. I feel as though either my keywords or my pre-sell is seriously lacking and I'm tired of banging my head against the wall in self doubt while I blindly try new layouts or approaches to things like review pages, list building, etc.

If ANYONE thinks they can help with conversions or making a consistent income as a CB affiliate PLEASE respond, let me know, I feel like I'm grasping at straws here just guessing as to how to do it right. I've made money before, but have never been able to leave a website after it's ranked and really make any sales.

      Brandon, I understand you're frustrated, but you may have to exercise a little patience. Look at the time stamps between your two posts - 36 minutes.

      You may want to download this free sample of Paul Hancox's report on conversions. The full report may just be what you are looking for...

        Hi Brandon,

        Could be a few things:

        1) Your traffic is not targeted. Example: you're trying to sell women's clothing but men are clicking the pages

        2) Maybe your checkout or affiliate links aren't working.

        3) Maybe you are selling something in a flooded market - something highly competitive - and the items are offered elsewhere at lower rates.

        4) Maybe your promos are misleading, bring in targeted traffic looking for other things.

        5) Maybe your stats are not accurate.

        6) Maybe you are in traffic exchanges or similar traffic channels where people are just clicking to earn something on the other end...

        Other ideas, too, but maybe this will help kick things off.

    You could give more details on where and how your traffic comes from and that would be much more easier for someone else to tell you what's wrong

    Well one of my sites is getting 4-5 thousand searches per month, for the keywords "why am i always tired" "why am i so tired" and "always feeling tired". My CTR for that site is terrible though and I'm trying to figure out how I might redesign it to better entice people searching for those answers.

        Yeah I'm thinking right now that these are people who are looking for an answer, but not necessarily a paid one. Probably the best way to do it is to have good information then an appealing opt-in to slowly presell. However, it's difficult to even get people to opt in in this niche : /

    Brandon,

    First of all, you have to change your mindset from 'it-is-difficult' to 'there-is-a-way-out'.

    Secondly, you can go to the newly created, 'Wanted' section and post your need for a mentor if you really need one.

    There are too many options on your page (too many links) especially Adsense probably.

    Anyway.. if I were you, the first thing I would do is to change to another affiliate product. It could be the sales page which is at fault and not yours.

    I don't use adsense just an affiliate product. I think I'm going to make it more of a squeeze page though.

    I took a look at your site and I see your landing page is set up like a squeeze page to sell the product. I think people who search for that information are not really looking to make a purchase. You should re do the layout to make it more blog based and make sure your blog posts are the first thing they see. Also just keep adding quality posts to it and make sure you also get people to opt-in and offer them something for opting in. Like other people said, try selling the product through email once you have established a relationship and they see that they can trust you. Also look for other things you can offer that relate to your topic such as CPA or even physical products that relate to tiredness.

    Hi Brandon its amazing how so many people are replying to you and trying to cure your problem without even diagnosing what exactly is the cause. I didn't see a single reply here asking you 1st that WHAT THE HECK is it that you Sell ??? It's ridiculous !!!

    I'm not the NEXT BIG THING or Marketing Guru, neither do I provide Coaching Professionally on Conversions or stuff, but I know Internet Marketing very well and have been implementing it for my own businesses that happen to be financial consulting and branding services.

    So let me know what is it that you're selling? What are your websites, and I feel like you're going through what I was going through for a long period of time not very long ago, so I'm sure I'll be able to figure out atleast some problems and I'll let you know what they are - so you can then decide to hire anyone to do that for you or do it yourself.

    Sometimes, even little changes can make huge differences so the 1st step should be to figure out the possible reasons of LACK of Conversions - atleast I can help you at this stage without any charge or stuff - I learnt somethings by my own and I'll be glad if they are of any use to you as well.

    An honest advice doesn't cost a dime and I'd love to give it free :-)

    The two niches I'm in:
    - Penis Enlargement (haha yeah, I know)
    - Tiredness/Fatigue

    I know the PE product converts and had a lot of success with brute article marketing a while back but now that my site is ranking I wanted to make it automated somehow. The tiredness guide has sold some copies, but I'm finding it hard to know what direction to go with the site, asfar as setting up a squeeze page etc, to make it worth my time.
