It sucks when you build a system that you sure will work but it doesn't.

Over the past months, i focused on email marketing and read a lot about it to ensure success or at least a little bit of success. After reading, i built the system. Squeeze page > thank-you page > offer > email follow-up series, etc...

The ebook i'm giving away is awesome, the squeeze page looks awesome, the sales page is awesome, i'm targeting a very specific group of people on facebook that interested in my niche, and everything is almost perfect.

After all that, nothing happened. I'm getting almost half a subscriber per day (a subscriber every two days, LOL). and no one buys my own/affiliate products.

What's wrong?

    1. You don't have enough traffic yet. At this rate it's going to take a year for you to have any meaningful data.

    2. Your content/funnel may not be as "awesome" as you think it is.

    3. You don't seem to have tapped into a hungry market.

    Your assumptions.

    In a different post I described IM as DATA Analyzed and Adjusted.

    What does your data tell you? How many are visiting the site?

    To get that one every other day, how many eyeballs? Is it double opt in? How many do not opt it?

    How many awesome reviews of your ebook give away do you have? Are they being used on the facebook page?

    My point, all the answers you seek are contained in the data, the information you are getting or not getting.

    Take a look at your offer. Is it price? Why are they not buying?

    In IM, you have to know what the facts are, what people are doing...and that is why I say IM is data ANALYZED and then adjusted.

    How many of your sign ups have you spoken too> Even with only a couple a week, how many have you contacted and asked or surveyed?

    So, I'm going to say your assumptions about your product/service and the demand for it and the traffic coming to your site...is the major wrong of what you are doing.

      Within your marketing, are you focusing on the money you can make? Or focusing on providing value and a solution to their problem?? It seems you have not transitioned your customers from point A to B

    I would want to know what is your FB potential audience size? This sounds
    like your targeting might be too specific so you are not getting enough traffic.

    Hard to tell, but that's my guess from the limited information you have shared.

    Okay first things first CONGRATS on getting the SYSTEM

    You understand that. Awesome.

    Now to be the big brother you love to hate...

    1. Show me the page
    2. Who are you targeting
    3. What are you promoting
    4. You say everything is perfect, but does your audience think it is?

    BONUS: How much traffic are you currently getting?

    You can send 10 visitors to a page and expect to make a sale.

    Judge campaigns on their effectiveness after you got like 100
    visitors to your affiliate link.

    Remember nothing worth doing happened over night.

    Keep it at.

    You accomplished more than most already.

    So great job.

    This happens all the time.

    Why?

    The old BUILD IT AND THEY WILL COME mindset

    To succeed, focus on EXISTING DEMAND

    This means get a CLEAR idea of who your target market is, what their specific needs are, and HOW your offer is BETTER than existing solutions.

    Failure to do this will lead to MEDIOCRITY or outright FAILURE.

    For all intensive purposes, what you have may be as great and in demand and awesome as you say.

    But as others have pointed out you do NOT have enough traffic coming end to make any meaningful judgement.

    You need to reevaluate what you are doing ...i.e. the Market or Niche you are targeting and whether there are other options to use to get more traffic, and if this Niche is one that is not only looking to fix a problem but is willing to part ways with money to do so

    Thats why its good to split test your pages, what might be awesome to you might not be for someone else, and also you need to send at least 200 clicks to test it out. the amount of traffic you are getting is a waste of time.

    It could be a few things. Such as:

    - Low traffic
    - Non-appealing offer
    - Low rate Facebook traffic
    - Poor email marketing
    - Poor selection in acquiring leads.
