I made 100$ and stoped!

This thread would sound better if i was new here, without any other threads posted before.... stupid kid.

Anyway...
The other day i was reading this 2 threads
You CAN make money with Clickbank
Part 2 - Build a Blog Empire For Free - No Excuses!
and as always it reminded me that i wasn't making money, but it also reminded me that when i started blogging i made 100$ with 2 crappy blogs and then they stopped selling.
Paleo Recipe Book - Brand new Paleo Cookbook

New Psoriasis Treatments

They made the sales because i was driving traffic through systems like Listjoe and so on, so for every 1000 viewers one bought the product, when it stopped being new in the network the sales ended...

So even if they looked ugly and crappy the truth is that they were generating sales, so i was wondering, if i could send real targeted traffic would they start selling again?

Tell me your thoughts

    It is possible, but try not making them crappy and not good looking.
    And as a source of traffic i would recommend ppc ads like Google Adwords. This will deliver 100% quality traffic.

    Targeted traffic will always work. I'd say clean the sites up a bit and start sending targeted traffic, you will see results.

      I agree targeted traffic has always worked well for me and I think it is the best method in this case.

    OR...or you could drive real targeted traffic to quality, good looking websites. Oh boy, that could really boost your sales.

    If you were making sales with listjoe traffic, surely targeted traffic would produce at least the same results.

    Hi, the way I see it, you stop it yourself, its not about crappy or not, nowadays sales comes from marketing. Have you try using google adsense to boost the traffic? make a back-link, pay someone to make it for you? If you haven't, now is a good time.

    I'd suggest cleaning up the websites and focusing on driving targetted traffic to your websites instead of listjoe traffic.

      Your site is a good example of how a niche site should look right?

    Make the site look good, make it believable, find a good product, send targeted traffic. Sales will happen.

    Are they your products? Or PLR? If they're yours, screw the hassles and just publish them on Kindle.

    This may just be me, but that annoying ad that pops up in the bottom right corner is distracting and it makes me want to leave your site.

        That looks a lot better. I'm not into the whole Paleo thing, but I think the site has a nice clean look now.

    What are ways to get targeted traffic. I'm finding traffic exchanges bring you hits but nothing else. Trying to reach people who will act. What's working for you all?

    I skimmed over everyone's responses. My first thought is, jeez if it's possible to make $100 with a crappy blog just think how much more can be made with a good blog.

    Same thoughts, ProAffiliate Without annoying pop-ups it looks a lot better. Next step is targeted traffic.

      one point for the new look... that's nice
      now i need to think how i can get targeted traffic.
      Right now i am using twitter, and some social networks that gives me around 20 visitors per day, and 0 conversions. I don't really want to use adsense ads to get traffic because when i used it before i got 0 conversions and a 42 dollars bill ( cant afford to lose that right now) so what would you suggest?
      {{ DiscussionBoard.errors[7098012].message }}
  • Profile picture of the author drakedestroier
    could i use one banner from paleo to drive traffic( using something as buysellads) to the site (as it is) and do conversions?

    Or do you guys have any other idea?

    If you're going to build a blog empire you should do it on your own domains. Blogger have been known to ban affiliate sites.

    You should also note that the blog empire post was made in 2010, when getting traffic from google was easier.

      i know that i is a old report but still, if that sites can work and make money in blogger with the right traffic then in a own domain the amount of profit would be huge. the problem is that right now i cant have that luxury, so i use blogger...

      that's why i need targeted traffic and that's why i am asking it here :p

    You have a good thing going here. You just need to refine it a bit.

    Driving targeted traffic is a good idea. But as they all said in here, you should also make an effort to improve your site before you drive the traffic. Maybe your next post will show us how much money you made with the changes.
