Suggest please??

What do you like talking about all day? At least for the next couple years? Not necessarily forever.

Who are the people who also like talking about this topic?

What problem(s) can you solve for them, even with an affiliate product, that will pay you enough money to survive and thrive?

Begin with the end in mind.

How much money do you need a month to get by? Double that figure and that's more like it. People forget about a lot of expenses they have...and that you're in business to make a profit. Build profit into the equation.

So say it's $2500.

That's enough for now; you can always raise the bar later when you're consistently making this amount.

Now HOW are you going to get there?

Trying to piddle around with $7 sales isn't going to do it, is it.

But what do most people do?

Now there's nothing wrong with $7 sales...but I hope it's now obvious to you that you need a back end: something of higher value that you need to sell some of the $7 buyers to reach your $2500 target.

So, again, what problem can you solve that supports the prices you need to charge to get you there?

Maybe your model ends up being:

40 x $7 front end sales = $280

5 x $97 sales = $485

2 x $997 sales = $1994

total sales = $2759

Now we're cooking with gas, as an old boss of mine used to say.

Remember, if you're doing affiliate sales, you only keep the COMMISSION and that's what counts against these figures, not the whole sale price. A lot of people make this mistake.

Can you see how this tells you exactly how to lay out your funnel?

You need enough traffic to get you those 40 front end sales.

Let's assume a pretty standard 2% conversion on that $7 offer. 40/0.02 = 2000.
You need 2000 leads entering your funnel to have a good chance at getting those 40 sales. (Hint: if all you're relying on is your WF sig, that's not going to be enough.)

The mid and high ticket sales come from these 40 front end buyers.

You have to take a guess at your numbers initially, and then adjust as reality rears its ugly head as you go. This is why it's best to be conservative.

So we're estimating 1 in 8 buyers of the front end product will upgrade to the mid-level solution. Could be high, could be low. It's different for every offer. But we have to start somewhere.

And finally, at the top, we're estimating 2 buyers of the front end OR mid-level products will buy the high ticket product. (Yup, a buyer could skip the middle and go straight for the full meal deal.)

Now you have expectations for your funnel.

There's a time limit here, too.

Those 40 front end buyers have to be in and leave enough time for the sales cycle to run for the mid and high ticket products. So you can't be sitting around on Day 27 of the month with 32 front end sales by themselves and wondering if it's going to work out.

Ask yourself: what do I need to do to ensure those 40 sales get made by X date of the month, so that there's enough time left for the rest of the funnel to work and sell those mid and high ticket solutions?

Now you can start tracking data.

How many leads to you really need to put into the funnel to get a front end order?

How many front end orders need to be present to get a mid and high ticket sale?

Is there a too-long delay or higher than expected number of front end buyers required to get those higher ticket sales? That would indicate your funnel steps (copy, VSLs, emails, smoke signals, whatever you're using) to that point need improvement.

Yeah, this is Work.

But it's important work, and what needs to happen if you want to build a real, sustainable business based on real data feedback.
