2000 unique visitors, 20 subscribers, 80 clickbank hops daily, but only 2 sales a week

Food for thought. Hard to be precise without seeing particulars. So...

1. Possible subs are expecting something else based on why they subscribed. There may be some disconnect with expectations. Two possible levels or opportunities for this are with your email content and the product you're promoting.

2. Maybe your mail frequency is not ideal for the audience/niche?

3. Don't know what good open rates are for dating niche, but it seems a bit low to me. Perhaps your subject lines are not strong or effective?

4. The sales copy may not be good. I trust your product choice made sense to you. But it may not be a good match for what your subscribers are looking for. Or, maybe it is but they don't know it for whatever reason.

5. You state that you're not heavily promoting it. But then maybe your presell efforts can be improved.

6. Your email copy layout/format, length, or other factors may be misfiring. Not optimized for your subs/audience.

7. May be a good idea to do some investigation and testing. Contact those who bought and asked why they bought it. Specifics would be great.

Then you can try and poll your subscribers and see why they are not interested in that product. And you can ask what is most important to them or what they're looking for.

Explain that you want to provide help and value in a product that will benefit them the most. Doesn't hurt to give it a shot with a poll.

Hope that helps and sorry could not be more helpful.

Thanks for the responses so far.

How would you convert sexting traffic? What would you sell them? Besides a clickbank book.

I changed this by using CPA offers that actually track and don't turn off the trackers. CPA stands for cost per action. With the offer I use you would of gotten between $600 to $800 or more depending on the quality of your traffic.

How are you generating the traffic? Perhaps the niche is not tailored to your visitors...

Sexting traffic. Really don't know much about that market. Don't even have a cell phone.

One possibility is with hook-up offers. You can find affiliate programs that include offers like that. Sort of a thin slice of the dating niche. A sub-niche.

I think you'll find this interesting:

As always, test and test.

I bet what they want is ultra instant gratification of some kind. An ebook is just too scholarly for them.

why don't you let your buyer comes through organically well you should do only one thing is increasing backlinks to buyer intention keywords well. then you don't need any emails to send it though. Email marketing is not so genuinely grabbing the customer, try to SEO to your website rank well earn good income stream.

Firstly, you cannot determine a good sales-page or product by just looking at the gravity rate in cb.

Secondly, 2000 UVs with 20 subscribers. That's only 1% opt-in rate (not sales). I suggest that you tweak/edit your landing-page for higher conversion rate first.

If you do the math, 2000 UVs generate 2 sales.. that is equivalent to 0.1% sales conversion rates.

Assuming the product that you're promote cost $47 (cb's average price) with a 50% commission. That's $23.50 per sales. 2 sales out of 2000 UVs ($23.50 x 2).. Each UV's makes you only $0.0235 ($23.50 x 2 then / 2000). In case if you don't know.. $0.0235 per UVs is suicidal.

I suggest you work on your landing-page first (Aim for higher conversion rate).. then your autoresponder follow-up series (tweak and test) and finally the product you're promoting (is this the best product for you targeted audience?).

Hope this help and good luck with your business endeavor.

Change your copy of sales letter. If you have a good targeted traffic. Then, your problem is your sales letter.

It's not easy to add much to both Ken's and Jeremiah's excellent posts above, and this isn't my niche, but to me open-rates of 8-16% sound terribly low, and unsubscription-rates of 12% also sound rather high (though I suspect that might be less significant, and maybe even not abnormal for the niche?).

Open-rates are normally determined by things happening/not happening before, during or immediately after the opt-in itself.

No promises, but I'm wondering whether possibly either of these posts/threads might help you ...

It may not be relevant at all, here, but a gravity as high as 60 would almost certainly put me off promoting the product. My best-selling and best-converting products all have gravities around one tenth of that (and that isn't just a "coincidence"): http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...ml#post2495251

Well, if you're making two sales per week, from the traffic you have, with open-rates averaging 12%(?) this ought to be possible, at least in principle?

Where is the traffic coming from, for me at least that would the first thing to look at,

From 2,000 UV, you should collect at least 200 subscribers (leads). To get more leads, you can offer free stuff to the UV. People love free stuff on the internet.

Not sure if Dating is the same but I once promoted in the Get Ex Back niche and thought that the traffic isn't very much interested into buying - even less a CB report.

They wanna talk to someone rather then reading a How To manual. It was VERY time consuming to run this as a business as you get daily emails from people desperate to find someone who can comfort them.

That improved a bit (time wise) when I separated the traffic into MALE - FEMALE and gave them specific step by step approach over free content.

Sales didn't improved much tough so I gave up on that niche (not trying to discourage you, sorry).

G.

I want tell give you the url of my site.

Are there any drawbacks to posting my money site url on the warrior forum?

I know a lot of people don't do it but I never understood why.

Is your product truly good and truly a good deal and value? That will likely give you more conversions.

20 subscribers isn't enough to make a full time living off. Ask the same question when you get to 500 subscribers.

Or just keep the current numbers and proceed with your marketing with brute force.

not really a text book squeeze.. where's the benefit's/bullets?

I've been using squeeze pages for years - see everything on that page in black text? get rid of it all and replace with a handful of bullets on the benefits of the product.. I wouldn't even mention the product itself - just 5 beni's and an opt-in form. Heck, the bullets don't even really need to be beni's - find a few things in the product that jump out, and list them ("5 sure fire ways to get a response from a booty call", etc)

your op is somewhat confusing then.. how much daily traffic? 2000?

I think you really need to work on your landing page since the convert rate is too low.
And 20 subs with 2 sales is not bad result.

Increase subscriber with directly increase your sales.

At the same time, you should find out why people unsubscribe.

Hi there, my quick opinion

1, check the incoming search terms to see what percentage are actually related exactly to your product/site

2, sometimes search terms like sexting etc are song titles like "SEXTING Lyrics - BLOOD ON THE DANCE FLOOR" which is probably what a lot of people are searching for rather than an ebook or sexting tips whatever

3, also mostly school kids and young adults are interested in searching for sexting on the web, and would probably not want to purchase something to teach them how to do it , as they could probably add another 30 pages lol

just a thought, wags

Try improving your sales page that is very important, a good sales page equals better conversion rates. After improving your sales page try to expand and see if your traffic is of high quality etc.

Generally speaking, you need give your customers useful information of your product or service, such as the detailed functions, how it will benefit your customers etc. Especially, you can use reviews of your product to convince your targeted customers. So you need make a very detailed sales page. And the more important is to find what your visitors'/subscribers' demand, then whether your product can meet their demand.

I assume from 20 subscribers and 80 hops per day that your primary goal of the landing page isnt grabbing the email? and that you have links to the product on the page.

Offer something of value in return for their email and market that way without selling anything on your site and you should get a lot more subscribers which will get you more trust and hopefully more sales

not sure if this made sense because im pretty tired haha

The answer is simple, split test landing pages and traffic sources?
