Hey guys so I have went into the "healthy bracelet" niche and I have got my site built and I am getting some organic traffic. Most of my traffic is referral at the moment because I go around local events and set up a booth to spread the word and make in person sales. I've made about 23k in sales so far in 3 months so it seems to be converting fairly well.

Any idea's that you have I would love to read

I plan on looking into PPC & PPV what do you think about that for a 2nd marketing source?

    By all means if you're already generating sales like that start investing back with paid traffic. You've obviously got momentum so now's the time to explore other ways of getting targeted traffic to your site.
    And with the number of buyers you have you likely have some quality testimonials by now. Use them, and consider some forum posting as well to really diversify.

      Well done on making a great start

      I feel your site needs to tell me what it's about quicker and clearer. Tell me what I'm looking at, as an internet shopper I'm easily bored and need to be spoon fed the product immediately and tell me what to do next.

      Maybe a tagline in your header would be a start.

      I presume your target audience is the alternative health/lifestyle market, so I can understand your background, but may be a little distracting moving around.

      Personally I would rearrange your menu, what is the priority of your site, is it people contacting you? Or buying the product directly from yourself online? Or finding a distributor? Whatever you want your site to achieve, place it first in your menu or at the top of the column.

      Hope that helps a little, good luck

    hi,
    I think PPC is a good idea but when you buy PPC contact someone who is providing most of the US clicks. or other tier 1 countries.and before buying PPC you need to focus on your site.Your site is looking ugly sorry to say that but that's true.Hope you don't mind.

    Congrats @CpvTrafficPro!

    Good start for your healthy bracelet niche. Looking at your site, I agree with the suggestions of MerlinCat. The menu of your site needs to be re-arranged. You can try this:

    Home->Facts & Answers->Warranty & Sizes->Testimonials->Contact Us->Distributors->Shop Now

    You can also place the Testimonials and Distributors' tabs below the page.

    If you can add a tagline after or below Rico's Bio Energy - a catchy one.

    The background energy colors truly represent the metaphysical world. I had to agree that it's very distracting especially when you need to view the products. The blue font is barely visible with the background colors. Good thing that this is being remedied once you click the product for more details.

    If you want a continuous sales boost to your niche without attending trade shows, fairs, etc. then you need to consider ranking your site with your preferred keywords. This will definitely give you very good marketing mileage when it comes to your target online market.

    More power & Good luck!

    You have a very good start. I would also suggest to go for paid advertising and increase your sales and profit.

    the 23k in sales, was it online or at local events? Your site's a little confusing. If the sales were made locally, I'd suggest you keep selling in person because 23k in 3 months is amazing! Use some of the money you made and invest it into getting the site professionally designed.

    Your site needs an overhaul. That's for sure.

    Please, please, please change the background. Just looking at it gave me a headache.

    Aside from being unattractive, you also need to fix how much text/information is on the screen. Nothing popped out at me due to the fact that there is way to many words scattered around the page that subconsciously the mind doesn't know where to look.

      The site has made 23k in 3 months apparently, thats about 7.5k a month, are you sure it needs a complete overhaul?

        We don't know if that's just online sales or if its offline sales too. He could also be selling these on more than just his website online.

        If it is 100% sales from his website, then personally I have my doubts about his claims. Not that its impossible, but three months is much to short of a time to get set up and generating profit that quickly with such a poor design. Or maybe he's been up for a while now and he just decided to share his profit for the last three months.

        I could be wrong, and the site could be very profitable. If it is then I'm curious why he's posting on a public forum looking for more advice on how to drive traffic/increase conversions if he's doing so well.

        Regardless, best of luck to him on the site!

        Edit: Reread the post, he is doing local events and doing in-person sales.
