Online marketing traffic gets on my nerves
Hi, this is Max. I'd like to share my situation. Your opinion and advice extremely needed and valued.
I have a mailing list of over 15k subscribers in dating niche. Everything's OK here, the business is completely outsourced. I hire a friend who makes videos to give away to the list and promotes it.
I decided to start an online marketing blog ( it's not in my signature ) to share what I know and try my hand in a different industry. I also helped people on some forums, Q&A sites and social networks with their problems related to online marketing. Had success and was inspired to launch a blog.
But the blog I made was not my big game. I didn't intend to grow it like crazy advertising everywhere, pulling thousands of hits per day, having a list that fattens like on steroids, etc. I just wanted something like a small personal diary online to put a new entry whenever I'd love to, promote it whenever I have time and mood the way I'd like to test or just show it to my contacts I communicate with. No rapid dash to the sky, no becoming a guru.
However, some folks who appeared on my blog coming from a social media site criticized me. Oh, how do you teach us to do this to get traffic if you yourself don't receive traffic, how do you teach us to do that if you don't have a list. I have a list but in a different niche. I don't want to start and build a list sending out content on how to start and build a list, damn. They ask me how I dare telling them anything about YouTube if my own (marketing) channel doesn't get views. I know how my friends do it. There were also some channels made for me by hired assistants to sell some products. The information I share should be taken to their own consideration, it's meant to make them think, do their own research, test it on their own. This is not a paid product where I have to provide proves, this is a blog post.
Example.
If I find a blogger who's written a post on how to get a hundred followers on Twitter per day - I don't go to his Twitter profile to check his numbers. I figure out on his method, estimate its effectiveness, brainstorm it or its details on other blogs, see what others say, test it if I'm sure it's safe to test. His huge number of followers is not a sign for me that I can copy paste his system blindly.
To top everything up, I got traffic of internet marketers. It's hard to convert into CPA sign ups or buyers. Their time and money are scheduled, they never spend an extra dime or extra minute if it's not on their marketing systems. Only newbies are the exclusion. This is traffic of earners, not buyers. Meanwhile in many other niches there are simple people who buy and don't count money, there are niches where most people come to spend cash, not earn.
So, should I change the niche? Or may be I'm just wrong and should fix something up? Thanks in advance.
