My first thread here

I own some blog with 4000-4500 unique visitors per day. Most of them are from USA (98%), and women 30-40 years old (70%). Big part of this traffic goes from social networks (Pinterest, Tumblr, StumleUpon). People interest in our food recipes.

I was trying some offers but cant find the right way. Could you advise me some offers in my situation? Do I need to make landing pages or its doesnt matter? I have huge good traffic but havent sales.

Sorry for my English, hope you will understand me

    Why not offer your own ebook product? Study your visitors'needs and offer a product that meets those needs. The first step is to build a list you can use to pre-sell them

    Create a recipe book. Sell it to them. It is what they want. Give it to them. You can also review other cook books and other cooking products and get affiliate sales from them. That is great traffic. Congrats.

    Also, you could build a list...offer them recipes, your book and then you can offer affiliate products as well..other cook books, cookware, heck even things that market is in to...things for kids, things for gardening, things for scrapbooking or whatever.

    Buy a plr recipe ebook for a couple bucks, and try to get as many of them on a email list, then you can promote to them after you build rapport with them

    Note: You can always promote kitchen products from Amazon, you can't cook with supplies. Anybody that cooks are always looking for the hottest appliances.

      I mean give it to them for free to get them to sign up to your email list. I take it you don't know what an email list is

    Mathew Lesko made millions selling people free information they were too lazy to find themselves. Recipe books absolutely sell. But, if you would rather make excuses for why your website is not profitable instead of doing what will make it profitable, I can't help you.

      There is nothing ugly about making money, like drewfioravanti said if you keep looking for excuses not to make money, then you wont.

      If you don't want to monetize that site, then sell it to someone who will.

    Find some highly rated cooking products on Amazon, and promote those. Not cookbooks. Pots, pans, knives, etc.
    {{ DiscussionBoard.errors[7693169].message }}
  • Profile picture of the author RyanGillam
    There is plenty you can do. Firstly, recipe books absolutely sell to people. My girlfriend launched about 10 of them on Amazon and she has sold about 200 copies of each for 99 cents in a year. That is $2,000ish. You could also use amazon affiliate program to promote and review cookbooks

    I see you have 14k repins, is it possible that the views are on Pinterest since the pictures have your url attached to them?

    Are the unis actually coming to the site?

      Looks like all the post are copy and paste from other sites. You do give credit to the pictures and link to the article, so maybe they are clicking through to the sites you are getting the content from?

      You seriously need to get as many of those people on a list, there are too many links to other sites where they can just click away from yours.

      I counted 9 excepts and links from other sites and 6 youtube videos on one page. The content is just a picture and except from another site, you are invite people to click to another site.

      The problem is you are taking excepts from other sites, that's why I asked if it was an autoblog. There is no real content for them to stay, and there are 9 links to other sites on every page. It's more like a directory, every link they click takes them to another site.

      You are just sending traffic to other sites, the trick is to keep visitors on your site as long as possible. You are doing the hard work of sending traffic to someone else and making them money. You are a webmaster, not a traffic cop.

      Makes it harder for you to make money, you have way to many outs on your blog. The only links on your site should lead to an affiliate or sponsor site.

    I would just send them to a survey and ask them what they are looking for. After you get around 30 responses, find a product and offer it to them.

    Why don't you just create 4-5 videos of a cool recipe on youtube. People will visit your landing page then. I guess through videos you can really promote your blog.

      Hello Xadro
      Even if after doing video optimization the results are not coming up. At last, there are various (not very expensive) services available in market that bring traffic and views to the video.
      Like on fiverr too, people provide views from 5k to 10k in just $5

      After that again try doing video optimization.
