Just starting out

What's your sales page look like? Have you tried split testing it? if your traffic is SEO, how does your page compare to your competition on those keywords? Sometimes take a look at paid ad landing pages, as many ppc landing pages will be split tested. Your landing page is key and has to 'flow' to a call to action.

That's one aspect that will make or break your offer. Are you building a list to harvest that traffic-what about pop-up squeeze page offering a free giveaway guide say on keyword research, how to do it manually and then the benefits of say Market Samurai (with afflink a?) Capturing the emails could make the difference, as you can then drop feed info and the offer.

You're trying to sell from your website?

What amount of traffic are you getting?

How are you trying to sell? Is it a straight up pitch, review articles, or helpful articles that lead toward using MS?

Are you building a list? It's much easier to build a relationship with your list than it is to build a relationship with visitors to a site.

I'd recommend that you have a very soft sell, but with a strong call to action. So something along the lines of solving the readers' problems the manual way, then saying, "That is a lot of work, isn't it? If you want to cut the job from 1 hour down to 5 minutes, then Click Here".

You currently have a bit of a disconnect - you're describing working from home job, for example, then saying "Market Samurai - The Best tool to check out competition". You should explain that keyword research is key to that process, that once you have created your site, you can track rankings and so on, and possibly show some manual ways to do this. Market Samurai is the automated way to gather information quickly and accurately, so that you get the right keywords which will lead to your success.

Do you use market samurai? I would review the tool, so that you know its benefits, then you can better market it - currently you're really selling it short. If you have your own personal experiences as to how this tool helped you to achieve sales, then that in itself will be somewhat convincing for people looking to start a home based business, or buy the product.

It's pretty hard to diagnose your problems from the amount of information you provided here but there are a couple of things you should definitely be doing on your site and the folks here have given you good ideas to get you going.

My two cents is that you definitely need to start building that list and for that you will need a good Autoresponder. A quick Google search will provide you some guidance with that. Once you have an Autoresponder you should take a little time to familiarize yourself with the way things work, many of the services that provide this will have how-to articles or videos to help you get going. In order to get people to sign up to your list you will want to create some sort of incentive, say a free ebook or perhaps a series of videos on how to use Market Samurai. These can then be loaded into your autoresponder as a series of emails to be sent to those who opt-in to your list and thus automatically build your credibility. Next you should generate the opt-in form code, done through the autoresponder service who should have some articles or videos showing you how to do that. Add this code to your site with a strong call to action. You can add some lines to the bottom of your articles stating something to the effect of "Sign up now for my FREE Market Samurai course where I will show you exactly how to use this powerful tool to get to profitable keywords fast! Just put your name and email into the form and hit submit and I will send this to you right away."

Once you start building your list you will want to interact with your subscribers frequently to build a report with them so that they will begin to know you, like you, trust you and eventually buy from you. There is quite a bit of work involved here and most likely some technical hurdles to overcome but that is the way it is in the beginning. Google is your friend, and not just for traffic. When you have technical questions, such as how to add the form code to your website so your visitors can enter their email, just go over to Google and perform a few searches because someone else almost certainly asked the same question and has already received the answer.

When you have question on the marketing side this is the best place to post because the people here are always willing to help!

I would recommend you make a landing page with the video and optin box and start building your list.

That should increase conversions.

Also I like using the formula AIDA even when I write artlicle.
- Attention
- Interest
- Desire
- Action

Do you have that in your article?

FacetiousJD I'd be more than happy to take a look at what you have and see what can be done to start getting you some conversions. Like others have said its hard to make any recommendations with the limited information you've given us.

Is the website in your signature the site your referring to?

There will be always traffic if you make daily fresh post at your wp blog. No problem there. But it is not enough and you have to become an specialist in conversion, understand what and how it converts. You have to learn set up funnels to make sales!

One of the problems that so many people is with conversion rates. They complain that they're not getting any sales. Well the resoning behind that might be the type of product that you're offering and how you're offering it.

Traffic driving seams to be one of the most asked questions online and for good reason too. You see, driving traffic to a site is one thing,b ut dribing highly targeted traffic is another thing algotether.

It all depends upon what is on yur squeeze page, what is being downloaded, and how often you communicate with these people. And if you're thinking about building as list, then you're in luck because I can actually help you with that. Just send me an email to the following email address with the subject line of "driving Traffic" and I will get back with you. Here's that email address below.

You gotta work on landing page and also see what kind of traffic you get. If you got lot of uk traffic and offer is only for USA then you won't get any conversions. So there are lot of factors like these which you might be missing. You have to monitor everything. And don't be surprised about not getting conversions it happens!! Just work on the factors like checking traffic source, test landing pages etc. and you will get it right eventually.

If you are sending the traffic directly to the website without collecting their email details, you are basically leaving a lot of money on the table. Why not try going your own list of subscribers so that you will be able to follow up with them through email. You can even direct them back to your website to read the specific blog post that you have written.

Just my 2 cents

You need a mentor, man.

It's that simple.

Thank you all for the great advice. I've already tweaked the page to increase conversion focus. At the moment it's not quite a sales page, but it is a step closer.

Eventually I will incorporate a mailing list, but not until I'm making enough sales to cover the autoresponder costs.

If there are any suggestions on sales page resources, I would love to hear them!

Send me a message on facebook, I have 4 videos that will help you understand and increase conversions drastically.
