Just a little motivation for those of you who need it...

10 replies
Hey everyone,

So I had been working day and night on one of my websites for over 6 months and was seeing almost no progress. Low traffic and I had created a product with no sales marketed to that list.

I later convinced myself this was a bad niche...

Anyways, the domain expires in about a month and I thought "f*** it" im gonna write a quick sales page for my product, set it as the home page and if anything miraculous happens then I'll renew it.

One month of the sales page up without touching the site and I made over $200.

I know this isn't a lot but its a start.

I am now working back on the site to optimize it.

Hope this helps anyone out there struggling.

    Well done. Keep going.

    I've been where you are and it can be very frustrating not making sales despite putting in a lot of hard work. Thankfully I now own and operate a significant size ecommerce business that usually brings in 6 figures per month.

    However, I started where you are and I encourage you (and others) to keep going. It might not be doing the same things you always have, you have to use intelligence and thought. it may even be, at times, scraping what you've done and starting over. But the key is to keep moving forward.

    Day by day. Step by step. Inch by inch.

    Best wishes with your venture.

    Nice to hear. Now you need to use your analytical skills and identify how the sales exactly came
    about and what tweaking and testing needs to be done to maximize profits.

    It kind of sounds like you just threw it up to see if it "sticks"

    And nothing wrong at all
    with that. Just bear down now and start implenenting diligence

    Just remember that you can do whatever you put your mind to. Put your head down, work hard, and don't get distracted. Amazing things will happen.

    Thanks for the post. This is really encouraging. i have only been promoting my site for only 2 months and i was already getting frustrated because nothing has been happening and was ready to give up, but now after reading this post i think i will continue being faithful to do everyday what i need to do to promote my site until i see some results.

    Cool man...never fails to amaze me how many people overthink their websites creating everything EXCEPT the most compelling sales page they can, and then wonder why they aren't making any sales.

    Looks like you figured it out - and 6-months isn't really that long - some people struggle for years, never do figure it out.

    Rock on dude!
