I have 20k visitors, but still can't collect email - why?

I also dealing with Fitness site..but yes I " leaving money on the table " as I don't build list.

In fact initial I got ...I feel now a days if you dealing with fitness , health niche " people don't really input their email to get your update or even selling to them "

why I say so ..because these people rather sign up those big giant Health , fitness site ..aka like Muscle and Strength , Bodybuilding . c om ....or Men health , etc ...

I test before change my free unique e book or even really " special free stuffs " yet no body input their email to get it ..despite I have traffic.


so in the end I don't build list , more towards ..on Adsense ...the rest like click bank , amazon stuffs are just " bonus " ...

no doubt I know there are also managed to build a huge list from it but I feel ..is easy to build huge list on " marketing stuffs especially earn money " instead on fitness and health.

in fact presently I looking a all build in ready IM earn money funnel with build in responder for my 2nd target ..beside fitness niche

I can see your problem right there above, your lead magnet is not ultra specific to what your target audience is wanting.


If they are looking for gym equipment say for example a thread mill or bench, why would they be interested in a work out plan? OK OK in an indirect way yes the workout plan will work but only after they have found the equipment there looking for.


Define your target and present them with a message to market lead magnet!

You say that your traffic is interested in home gym equipment reviews. My first question would be...Is your traffic clicking on the links in your reviews?

If not, then your traffic may not be as real as you think it is.

Hi Smart Monkey Congrats on your investment from Empire Flippers!

As shaunybb is pointing out your customers are not really in fitness mode when landing on your site they are in shopping mode.

They are trying to make an educated decision one way or another and just need a little push one way or another.

If you could integrate a coupon as a trade for an email address it may do very well. Something along those lines.

Or a report on the actual buying process...for example

OK please follow up and let us know if you make any successful adjustments.

Test different opt-in bait.

They read your review and others, then go to Amazon or Ebay, sign-in to their account and buy.

Site looks like crap honestly

Invest in a premium theme and make sure your opt ins are TARGETED to your specific categories of your posts, or even to males or females specifically

I am thoroughly confused....is this YOUR site (i.e., about YOU) or a site you purchased that pictures someone else???

The writing is not bad - but not exciting - most is about topics that can be found hundreds of places online - paleo diet - exercise machine comparisons, etc....I agree with the above that I might read the text and then go to another site to buy.

Wehn I go to the site I am IMMEDIATELY hit with a full page "my latest ebook signup"...why would I WANT the "latest" book? It's clear YOU want my email address. Not a good signup page - and there also a "trip" signup at the top of the index page.

From a quick look at your site, it seems to me you are totally missing you big "hook" on that site...and that's why I ask if YOU are person featured there.

THIS should be your index page or your main blog page...

(live link removed per OP request)

Everything else on the site should stem from that REAL (if it is) and personal story - seeing results motivates people - it will make them WANT to know more about you - care about your opinion on fitness product/books/equipment.

With the above page as your "entry" to your site - you can post all the other stuff and have those titles as "related" posts on the right. I think it would greatly increase the traction of that site.

I'd also add a before and after image to the header - to give people a taste of what's coming on your site or blog.

Edit: I'm talking about a total restructure of your site so the top of the "pyramid" is your "transformation". It's something most fitness sites don't have - it makes it personal - and people relate to that. People who relate to your success story will sign up for your list - though I'd suggest a better popup... and give people TIME to see your site before you push for their email.

sites look like crap bro

u need to work more

Wow, you guys are amazing. Thank you so much for those great tips.
Ok, I'm going to create a better lead magnet.
I'm also working on a new theme - a theme that looks more like a magazine.
The thing with that website is that we purchased it from a person and now he's not active anymore, so, we're just getting 4-3 good freelance writers. Do you think it will do the same impact if we have few "voices" on the website instead of a main one person?
My main goal here is content marketing. Promoting affiliates trough good and quality articles and emails. Unique and interesting articles. It will be written by experts from different fields. Of course I will start producing content only in the workout niche and then go wider, but still, I'm not very sure how to present the website - what would be the website's face..
Or maybe we should just keep a professional- magazine-spirit and not to present one person as the face of the website, because we have few writers and I'm aiming for growing it more and more.

we wish you the best bro

Have you tried a plugin called Convertplug?

20,000 visitors a month!? And NO ONES opting in?

Either your traffic isn't as targeted as you think, or the freebie you're giving away to people to optin is terrible.

Think about a problem your niche has, and create a gift that solves that problem. Nothing crazy. One BIG tip where they can get some 'results in advance'. Try that out...

When you say "no one" is opting in, do you mean zero or not very many?


If it's zero, I'd check two things first:


1. Is there a technical problem with your optin?


2. Question the 20,000 "people/views". As others have said, is your traffic real?

I agree with Brent Stangel,make sure your lead magnet is enticing so your visitors will want to give up their contact information to get it.

Hi guys, yes, my traffic is very real and we have a decent amount of purchases every month from amazon. at least 150 sales for high ticket fitness products (over $200 for each product)
When the visitors in my website clicks "buy it now from amazon" and actually buy the product- the conversion rate is 6% which is pretty high.
I have very few opt-in, it's only up for few days and I got 6 signups.
The whole visitors, as I said, coming from searching things like "the best treadmill" , or "the best home gym reviews" ... So...very targeted because they know what they want and they are in a buying mode..
What do you think?

Sounds like your traffic is ready to buy and not patient enough to request
related information on how to make use of the product they are interested
in.

There might have been something the traffic knew about the site that you didn't -- hence why they sold the site.

If I were you, I'd just grow the search traffic and keep earning off of Amazon Affiliates. The USP is working so that's where I'd focus.

Are you getting FEW opt ins, or practically ZERO? If the latter is the case, I'd say you are getting fake traffic, that the original owner generated to sell you the site...

You may want to look at Push Monkey for Wordpress - Chrome, Firefox and Safari Push Notifications. They provide desktop push notification service. The conversion rate is close to 20 percent.

Best,
Ash

20K traffic and zero conversions would be either a blank sales page or bot traffic. Pick one.

that's abnormally non-existent

as the ace of spades hinted to, perhaps you're just getting bot traffic.
