We are going to need a bigger truck

10 replies
The old joke about the two brothers buying oranges for 25 cents each and selling them 5 for a dollar. End of the day they are sold out. One says, "You know what's wrong here?" Other says "Yeah we are going to need a bigger truck"

I can't figure out what's wrong here. I spent $70 on cpv at mediatraffic.com and made $5 on one sale. I used 3 different cpa networks. The click counts match up on both sides, but why only one conversion?

I sent the traffic directly to the offer page and the demographics through quantcast says that I used all the right websites.

I tried about six different offers and my one sale was for a scholarship signup. The scholarship traffic cost $10, so even with that, I'm losing 50%.

The further I go, the behinder I get. I did all the right things.

My plan is to change to email capture and do upsells so I get more bang per sale, but I see folks on here saying they are making money with the same thing as above, so I was curious how and what am I doing wrong?

    Going by demographics is good, but often you need a good landing page to presell them. Remember CPV is interuptive marketing, you need to grab there attention to sway them away from what they are looking at to view what you want them to look at

      I'm new at CPC, or CPV.

      I guess we really should consider what other IMers have been promoting. If we are promoting something that has been promoted by others using the exact keywords, more or less the same landing page, then there is a chance that the one clicking your ads won't be taking any action (perhaps they already registered before?).

    Lead capturing seems to be easier. Thats what many people here say.

    Put an email submit form on your lander. Then you may set the success page of your autoresponder as a similar offer.

    This way, at least you can upsell even if they are not interested in your end offer.
