Going above $1K

If you have an authority site and are only making $1000/month then it's very under utilized. But then, it would also depend on the type of niche your website caters to as well. A list will definitely help but it will be hard to give any tips until I know what industry/niche your website is in.

Fitness/Health. I have a site that tells you how to get rid of long-term tendon pain.

Thanks!

Whats the theme of your website, and are you building up a list, or just sending people to your affiliate link, or content page with adsense on it?

I think you need to choose the right topic for your site. Some topics have high payed ads. Try promote site about healthcare or shopping.

Two things are going to double your sales: Increase Content and stick up a pop-up opt-in form on your pages.

You've answered your own question, and quite correctly, there, I think.

Promoting a one-off product for a one-off situation isn't a reason not to build lists, form relationships with subscribers and establish trust. Even for a single product with no upsells, that can significantly increase conversion rates.

One perhaps shouldn't "advise without seeing", but that certainly sounds right, to me. Don't start adding things that help people to leave your site, rather than staying there?

No, I think it works worse. I think you may build a bigger list with one, but are likely to earn less money that way, in the long run.

Would you mind linking the site or PMing me so I can give a detailed critique?

If you want to go above it and only want to sell the e-book then only option is to raise the price again, or get double hits you currently get to try and double the revenue.

I assume you are targetting keyword 'tendonitis', I couldnt see you on Google on first few pages for that term so maybe an option is to do more SEO work to bring more targeted hits in.

Accroding to my niche finder the term 'tendonitis' has a score of 46 which isn't too bad and average amount of links on first page is 86, but their are 3 domans on first page with loads of links and wiki is number one, but certainly possible to get somewhere on first page, and that will only help as I didnt see your site on first 3 pages.

Other option is to put another revenue stream on the site, you might find people buy both services. Doesn't seem like too many people advertising on adsense for it, though, so maybe stay away from adsense.

What about making a long 2 hour video where you offer your advice, a lot of people might buy a video rather then a book and you can offer much more for that as well, and its more personal, and you can say you can offer advice for 30 days after purchase or something.

Dunno if thats good or bad idea, but its an idea

I think building a list is equally important whether you offer several things or only one. As other have said, it increases conversions. And later when you find other related products that are worthy of your promotion, or you create another great product yourself, you WILL have a lot of interested buyers right then. And don't worry about having lots of age groups in your list. There's one thing in common in all of them and that's what matters only: They are interested in your offer.

Hi Alex!
Just to save you a couple of years, I would recommend no matter what niche or market your in, start building a niche. It doesnt take much to figure what that niche would want to be subscribed to. Things like Adsense can be great revenue, but you firstly want to get them on your list, after that, use your autoresponder to send them offers automatically.
If you just write a new article into your autoresponder each day, you can quickly build up your list that automatically generates income.

One thing, don't be afraid to send offers to your list, just make some useful reviews on products that offer affiliate commissions.

I have a niche site I know nothing of, that almost accidentally started generating 500 unitque visitors a day. I slapped an optin form on the main page, and now I get people optin to my list every day, about 50 a day. And each day, I write a new autoresponder series, a review related to the topic, with a check this out link, and emails are going out every day to hundreds of people promoting offers automatically.
Hope that helps! Then you can start looking at generating 1k a day, instead of 1k a month (which is actually what I thought the title of this thread was!

Three suggestions -

- Build a list
- Build a list
- Build a list

I hope you are at least capturing the name/email details of your buyers and staying in touch with them a couple of times and week including selling them related products?

If not, start doing that NOW.

Break your product down into modules and take one of them and make it into a freebie and autoresponder course. Then you can focus on selling the optin on your site and selling the product in the follow up (although the sales page should also be an OTO after optin).

Find/create a related product and upsell it the moment they buy the first product. *DO NOT* position this product as being required to get value out of the first but do make it very clear they will achieve bigger, better, faster results if they take it.

Anyone that opts in but doesn't buy within the first 7 days (you should mail daily in this period) start sending them related affiliate offers or anything else you can find. Adswap this section of your list. Do whatever you can to extract value from it as they very unlikely to buy.

Set up affiliate offers on your download page and arrange for other people (at least the ones you've done it for) to do the same for you.

That should keep you going for a while and will easily double your earnings on a site like this.

Cheers,

Andy

congratulation and good luck

You can promote Amazon products such tendon supports or wrist supports to your audience. If you don't want to promote affiliate products on your website, then you can put your links into a short report and give it to your customers when they buy your book.

If you are an authority figure in this niche, you can contact with manufacturers and ask if they'd like to advertise on your site.

Also, I agree 100% with others who say you should build your list and promote related items to them.

So, I'm sensing that I should maybe build a list...?

:rolleyes::p

Okay, message received. A list will be built! Thanks, everyone, and I'll report back when I've doubled my money from here.
