Is it possible to get this site making at least $100 a day within 5 weeks?

I certainly like the theme you are using. Nice! You've done a great job; it's easy to follow and to find the things you are selling.

A couple of things though. I'd probably remove the Adsense. You might be able to make some money here, but it probably won't be as much as you'd make with your products. Cents per click as opposed to dollars per sale. And the Adsense is a way for users to leave your site.

Also, have you got a blog there, or a way to add text content? Writing a new article every so often, and getting lots of links back to it through article marketing or backlinking activities will raise your site authority. I've been hearing that Google is trending away from eStores with very little other content. It might be wise to secure against this.

Other than that, do some backlinking campaigns to various pages on the site, do some article marketing, and if you feel confident even try a PPC campaign.

Good luck with the site.

Site looks great!

you can defenitly increase your site traffic by a ton. just by using a few strategies.

1- Social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook are GREAT ways to drive traffic to your site.

2- Posting in forums such as these help a LOT also. If you can find forums that tailor to what you sell on your site even BETTER!

3- ezinearticles.com and goarticles.com are also awesome ways to drive traffic.

and the best thing about all these... they are all FREE!

I hope this helps

The short and simple answer is YES. Because ANYTHING is possable if your serious.

The good thing (hidden in the mist) is that you are in a desperate situation, you MUST take action. This is how many of todays multi millionaires got on the road to becoming multi millionaires.

Now for the FUN part.

To get to the sort of money you need in 5 weeks you need to do TWO things:

a) Increase your traffic.

b) Increase your CONVERSIONS!



To increase your traffic really quickly I know some great sneaky methods which admin will not allow me to post here. I will tell you them in PM if your interested but as long as you don't use the tricks on this forum.

Get ranked higher on Google... send me a PM and I will get you 30 PR 4+ DoFollow backlinks for FREE, because I'm new here and this is my first post. Your thread caught my eye and I want to help

Also, as Warriors have mentioned get some articles submitted. The best and fastest way of getting some good articles up is to write things like "Top 10 Guitarre Songs of All Time" where you are essentially writing a list. It makes things easier. But ofcourse jazz it up and make it good quality writing. - Be sure to put your link in the resource box and choose your keywords. I recommend using long tail keywords.

Sumbit to EZineArticles 3 times a day! (Yes 3 times a day, 3 articles a day, atleast) - But don't stop there. Do a quick Google search.... Actually do a quick Warrior Forum search and you will be able to find a nice BIG list of article directories which it is free to sumbit your content too.


After that you will want to go make some video's. Nothing flashy, just some text in video format will do. There are free softwares available to make these with.

When you've made a video sumbit it to Youtube AND ALL the video sites you can (again a quick search should produce you a pretty big list). Be sure to write your website link in the FIRST SENTANCE of your desciption box and add LOADS of keywords. It might also be a good idea to create a second account so you can rate your own video "5 stars" and give it the "thumbs up".


As for changing your conversion rates, think about split testing different elements of your page such as header, title text, call to action etc.


You may also want to build an e-mail list by promoting a free product. Then e-mail your subscribers with a small discount on your main product.


If you need anything else just ask. And please don't forget to drop me a PM for those 30 backlinks!

Just one small criticism that might affect your earnings. This may be my connection at the moment, but your page took a while to open. In case that's not me, it's something you really want to look at. Did anyone else find it slow?

Otherwise, it's a great looking site and I think you will do well with it. Good luck.

First off, the site looks great. However, since you don't have much of an idea how to market this, getting something lucrative in 5 weeks might be pushing your luck (especially from selling tracks for $2.99 each, profit margin is really small here so you'll need lotsa sales). It's not impossible but your lack of marketing experience poses several challenges and the time constraint doesn't help.

Have you considered flipping it to someone with the funds, skills, time etc to promote the site? You could make up front cash (which I'm guessing you need) and offer to upload new backing tracks every week, month etc for say 99 cents or so per track. You make cash up front plus get ongoing income from the buyer of the site.

Get rid of the Google ads on the site - they make it look cheap. Otherwise it looks incredible. The videos are not working yet (is that a mistake or is that in progress)?

I think it is compelling. You just need to drive traffic and optimize. This is looking like a solid business idea.

I'd rather avoid flipping the site to be honest, I'd really like to make this into a good solid regular income.

The videos havent been uploaded as yet, but will be fairly soon. I take your point about the Adsense, I guess it makes sense to try and keep vistors on the site for as long as possible without luring them away.

Did anybody else experience a slow load-time like Swiftdeal did?

Regarding price, I did think of setting it up so you could choose any 3 tracks for $9.99 rather than buy them individually at $2.99, though I'm guessing/hoping that people would bulk buy 4 or 5 at a time anyway. Then I'm offering the whole package, plus some cool bonuses for $57, so I'm hoping to push as many people towards that as I can.

Hey man,

First up this is a good idea for a product. I've spent HOURS looking for good quality backing tracks online. For the right musician this place is great.

Now the downside...the page takes forever to load - this is definitely costing you money, even right now, while you read this.

Second, definitely remove the adsense. It's going to cost you money long run.

Have you considered selling this through clickbank, to get some affiliates on board and generating traffic?

Here's what I'd suggest:

1- Put together a package of the most popular backing tracks. However many you want, just make sure it's great value.

2- Put a long form salesletter-style page together, selling your package for $47. Have a OTO giving a much bigger package for $67 or $77

3- Submit it to clickbank.

4- Post in as many guitar forums you can find with links to your salespage

5- Advertise on clickbanksuccessforum.com to find affiliates. Give your affiliates 75%, and provide them with a good page of affiliate tools.

6- Sit back and watch the money roll in, while putting together other offers to pitch to your customer list...

Okay, it's not quite as cut and dried as that, but that method will make you a ton more money than how it is now...

Hope that's useful chameleon. Drop me a PM if you want help. I've been playing guitar for 15 years, this is a niche I know very well.

There is some terrific advice here! I'm going back to my website now and taking adsense off... then back to the article writing. Thanks!

You can do it with PPC .

Hey Charmeleon,

Could you PM your e-mail address so I can talk with you. I need 15 posts to reply to a PM and I only have 2 lol. If you PM me your e-mail I'll talk to you that way.

All the best,

Steven

As the others have said its a great looking site with huge potential, work on backlinking strategies and also its ripe for article marketing.

I also agree get rid of the adsense you hae worked too hard to lose a visitor for a few cents.

Overall well done the site will go far.

Thanks
Andy

Page loaded OK for me - do the articles - do the YouTube - forget the Adsense - Site looks great -

Ok guys, thank you so much for the advice! It's really encouraging...I've got a swarm of guitar players making me 10 videos each of them playing over the top of my backing tracks. I just posted 1 ad on a music site and got 70 emails back from guitarists offering their services. I'm gonna try and get 100 youtube vids out there as soon as possible. I think having an article/blog page on there too is a great idea, I'm gonna get straight on that!

What does everybody think...do you think selling individual tracks for $2.99 is a mistake? Should I offer maybe 3 for $9.99 or something similar? Or just the bulk options like the_writer suggested?

Your website looks really good! And they've given you some good tips above. Your main focus should be driving quality traffic to your site this is more important than the look and if you want fast result you must use all the methods outlined above such as :Starting a blog,submiting articles (Not only to ezinearticles,but as many article directories as you can with high traffic volume),submiting social bookmark website (Twiter,stumbleUpon,Digg.com an etc), submiting your video to not only to Youtube but more websites like that,getting backlinks from preferably high PR websites, be sure your internal links work and each page connects to each other.Keep in mind that Google ranks pages not websites. You may also consider writing a press release and then submit it (great strategy by the way , that not many people know about or use). You can pretty much automate the whole process by using some paid tools, but am not sure if you can afford it or not. 5 weeks is a very short period for such a goal, but if you get on it full time and know what you're doing you can start driving some traffic to start making sales.If you can also outsource some of the tasks or get someone to help you would be even better.

Hope this helps

I clicked on the link, and it timed out on me before the site could load. My connection is not slow so maybe check your hosting company or server to make sure you dont have any failures once you finally get your visitors there.
When I did get to view it, it looks great!

Chameleon yep just do as the above suggest and you will get there!

Steven James Uk any chance of PMg me with some traffic tips ?

Please.

Good luck Chameleon.

David Hooper has a terrific FREE WSO still up here, that may add something to your site and help you make some good $$ in bigger chunks:

http://www.warriorforum.com/warrior-...ngwriters.html

It is a great musician-oriented offer that you can make 100% on and 50% every month after the first month.

And I agree about the Adsense - get rid of it and maybe put Hooper's offer up in the space that frees up.....

Hope this helps,

Elliott

Yes, but you've got to know how to get targeted traffic and then give the visitor only one link to click, whether it is a sales page or an ad.

I want to gently disagree with ProductCreator on his advice that you need PPC. I really mean gently disagree. I DO agree with him that PPC will help you but right now you need money and PPC is usually a money-loser in the beginning. You need cash flow first, THEN you can invest in getting PPC profitable.

You can recruit affiliates who are not yet affiliates. You can train them through an autoresponder campaign that you get opt-ins for on your affiliate page. Find guitar blogs and email them ... find 100s of these blogs and just contact all the owners. If you contact 1000 blogs over a 1 year period and 10% of them take you up on the idea, you'll have 100 affiliates.

Speaking of which ... if you can get 100 new affiliates this way would it be wise to use Sam Stevens' HopGuard product so that links point to YOUR site rather than Clickbank.com? I'm seriously considering getting this because it could help my SEO.

Wow, that guy on "Led Zep" style rips.

its a very nice site and has tons of potential. have you considered a membership portion? All you would need is 300 guitarists around the world paying you $10 per month to make 100 bucks per day. You could set it up so that they get like 2 tracks per week so they can practice them before they get next ones.

And in the membership maybe you could have people submit videos of themselves playing the tracks, anything to make a "community" out of the membership so they can learn from each other.

There are ALOT of guitarists out there that I'm sure would like to learn this stuff and I would think getting a few hundred to cough up $10-20 bucks per month for alot of instruction would not be so hard once it got rolling.

Video Marketing is the most affective method of getting ranked in 1 positions in all majoy search engines, Try tube mogul it is a free video submission tool to upload a video to many sites at one time. Make sure you use a Title, keyword related, and key word tags for your videos you submit. This will explode your traffic fast. This is a free service, but ther is an blaster if you can affod it that produces very fast result for traffic. it is Traffic Guyeser and Tube blaster pro.

I'd say that it is definitely possible but if you want organic search traffic you will need a domain name that is aged at least a few months with links aged as well.. i.e. start a site now, build links and content slowly and then in a few months but the "5 weeks" in and it shouldn't be difficult at all to get the traffic... assuming you have a good monetization strategy it should be a piece of cake from there...
