Wow... I Need Much More Traffic Than I Thought
I am now getting a clearer picture of how much traffic I really need to get in order to reach some of my goals.
Hopefully this will be good mental exercise for those out there that are currently thinking like I used to.
This is what I used to think:
If I can get my sales page to convert at 3% then I would get 3 sales per 100 visitors.
So if I can get 500 visitors a day I'd make 15 sales.
15 sales at $17.00 = $255.00 a day. (Not too shabby.)
What I'm realizing:
Traffic to opt-in really shaves down traffic to the sales page.
So if my opt-in page is converting at 20% then if I got 500 visitors a day...
Only 100 of them will see the opt in page.
And then only 3 would buy.
That would equate to $51.00 instead of $255.00
Quite a difference.
And that's not counting paying for traffic, or processing fees.
Good news: I've got a great product that helps people and converts.
Not so good news: Looks like I've got a lot more work to do than I thought.
