How much daily traffic should I aim for per CB sale?

It is not about how much traffic you get, but how targeted it is and how well your content is.

In general, I would say, you can expect to get an affiliate sale from at least 300-500 visitors.

Steadypay, I'm quite new to IM, have made two CB sales in about six months, a few dollars from physical prodects and some pennies from adsense.

I too hate the idea of lists. Some of the emails I get from the IM stuff I've opted in for are quite comical and I feel I'd be insulting people's intelligence doing the same.

All said though, I'm beginning to think that a list is the only way you'll see any real success with CB - especially IM, make money online type stuff.

Would you experienced warriors agree, or is there another way?

Thanks

Get lots of traffic is not enough. You must consider the problem how to turn the targeted visitors to the real customers.

As four of the five answers above have indicated, it isn't possible for anyone to guess this from the information you've provided.

The main thing it will depend on, if you're trying to sell ClickBank products without list-building, is how competitive your niche is ... because you're probably aiming at only about 5 - 15% of the potential sales available to you, and in a niche where you also have active competitors who are promoting by list-building, it's probably toward the lower end of that.

Anywhere other than on SEO for ClickBank-promoting sites, if you're not going to build lists. Unless you know something the rest of us don't ...

you should aim for getting more targeted traffic. Think of it like this, the more targeted traffic you get to your CB product, the more conversions you will get.

So if i were you, try and go out there and find traffic that is related to the product you are promoting

That's like asking "How long is a line?" It depends on many factors including how targeted the traffic is, the conversion of the products sales letter, at what part of the sales funnel you are capturing the visitor, which niche the product is in, and about a million more factors.

To give you an example of the range I have seen one in one to one in 300 on a relatively hot product. Same product, different traffic.

Like the rest have said there is really no specific number of visitors you can expect per sale. But there are a few things to consider.

1- Is the CB product sales page well written and designed and will it convert if you send the traffic there?

2- Is the product too expensive? To cheap? (compare it to other products in the same niche offering basically the same thing to find out)

3- How targeted is the traffic you do get to your site?


That being said it all breaks down to a numbers game. If you can expect say 10% of the people who visit your site to click the affiliate link and then expect 10% of the people who see the CB product page to actually buy then by the those numbers you could expect 1 sale per 100 visitors. But that is a ridiculously high % so don't hold your breath. More realistic numbers would be 1% of visitors click and at best 3 or 4 % of clickers buy. So at best hope for 1 sale every 300 to 400 "targeted" visitors.

heh I wish someone had told me these things when I started. It took me almost 8500 visitors before I made my first sale and for the life of me I couldn't figure out why. Until I spent a few hours actually doing specific searches here on this forum.

You should check your conversions before asking that question. Are you making any sales at the moment? Here's a system taught to us by IM gurus. Most of products on clickbank have an average success rate of 1%. Meaning for every hundred visitors the vendor makes a sale. That figure is not for all vendors however. You have to find that out yourself or you could ask the vendor to check for you.

Now assuming that the product you're promoting has a sales rate of 1% all you need to do is send 100 visitors to that site to make one sale. If i understand correctly you're running a blog to promote this product. That means you need to figure out your metrics. Out of your 10 daily visitors how many of them go on to the clickbank link?

If you want to make a sale a day, and assuming the clickbank offer converts at 1% your goal would be to get at least 100 visitors to click on that link. You may need more than 100 daily visitors to your blog reach that point though.
