The last leap! Volume AND conversions!

apatters · 01-25-2009, 04:21 AM

I've been working on my IM/web-based business for almost a year now and I feel like I'm a heartbeat away from achieving a living income with it. But one more thing stands in my way... one last problem I still haven't solved.

I've built sites targeting users who want to buy things. The traffic to these sites converts well to money. But try as I might, I can't drive much traffic to them.

I've also built sites targeting users who didn't have their credit cards in hand. I've managed to drive lots of visitors to these sites... but this traffic doesn't convert to money very well. At the end of the day, it's mostly a lot of freebies and lookie-loos.

So, I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. I can drive volume... I can drive conversions... just not at the same time.

If I could just get volumes of those precious, PURCHASE-MOTIVATED users... my income would really take off!

What can I do guys?

Have at it! Help me go from small-time to full-time! THE TIME IS NOW!!

What business model are you using?

Are you selling your own products or promoting those of other people?

Could you, for example, create a back-end product to sell more to each of your hot buyers, or set up multiple websites in multiple hot niches to expand your results so far?

Interesting Richard... I have to think about those ideas.

I've got two sites that have managed to take off pretty well. I haven't made any products of my own yet. Vast majority of my income is from selling other people's Clickbank digital products.

One is a product review site. That's the one which gets little traffic, but that traffic converts very well.

The other, in a different niche, has lots of interesting and informative content, that isn't product-related. (I added some niche-related product reviews to it, so far users mostly ignore them.) It gets 20x the traffic my other site gets -- I just have no way to make good money off that traffic (tried adsense and banner networks -- not too great for this niche).
