I've got money. What should I do with it?

I guess the best route is building your email list, and then follow up with message providing your service. For the traffic if you don't know or have hard time to do seo than my suggestion is PPC (targeted buyer would be the best solution in long term).

Traffic isn't a problem for me for some reason. I've already got 7k page views in less than 20 days into building my site with no paid advertising. Its just converting sales I need help with, so you'd say PPC would give me the best ROI?

I would look for some affiliate offers around the niche where you get your traffic from. Some affiliate programs have some really great commissions and the work of creating the product is already done for you.

I always see people asking for advice on how to spend their money.

I always give them the best advice I can possibly give; and that's if you're not sure how to spend it, you should save it.

:]

I'm of the belief, that you should *only* invest your money if you have a clear goal of what you want to accomplish.

And, if you have a clear goal; you'll know exactly how to best allocate your resources.

If you have no idea what to invest in? Then I would suggest that you keep brainstorming and researching. Eventually you'll find something awesome, that you're passionate about investing in, or otherwise developing.

Just my honest $.02, I hope it helps.

And stay cool.

First thing I'd do is ignore any pms you get telling you what to do with your money. Until you have a viable plan, save it.

DOMAIN NAMES

Get a professional keyword and develop it to sell leads

geo.professonalkeyword.com/net/org

geo is a location

newyorkcity.domain.tld

you can build it out, 100+ geos with a blog on front door

daisy chain link the geo subs to the front door

once you have the pages built you scrape 200 potential clients each city for the term you have

you got 1 geo to rent and you can scrape 200 google + companies each geo market

so you scrape 20K emails/names/phones

you mass mail them with phpist on your site

when the leads come, you sign them up to a monthly residual payment

500 minor cities and 2500 larger cities

you guarantee leads

if you have a nice high response page on the front door

the traffic to each city will generate leads

it's the same model I've been telling people to do for years (since late 1990's) in my book on domain names

it's the best biz model in the world IMO

your investment is the domain

the rest is nothing

your time to build it

the SE's eat it up

the SE's provide the free traffic

you can get fancier too

say to a client they are on the page for either 500 a month no meter on leads or you can push it with ppc etc

then you get 50 to 200 per lead

depends on the industry

so you can sell either method

it's built ride the free organic 500 a month for a minor city

they guy says how many leads

say it's month to month, you don't monitor

but almost any biz today is 50 a live lead with injury lawyers being 200 a lead

so roofers and plumbers it's 50 a lead

presell them 50 or 100 leads in a block

2500 to 5000 for minor biz

10K to 20K for major legal (injury)leads

the hardest thing is finding a decent keyword in com/net/org still to hang the model on

but you look around sedo for high cost cpc professional or industry terms you can find something for 1500 or less

But shouldn't I test a little bit of money like say $100 for each in several areas to find where my money should be going? I wont just throw money at it, I'd research how to best use it. I have a plan, but basically what you guys are saying is if it was detailed enough I wouldn't need to ask this question right? I'm not worried about investing my money, I can just get more. And it probably wouldn't go to anything other than tattoos, clothes and party favors anyway. So I don't mind spending it on something that can possibly return my investment. I'd just really like to get the ball rolling

If you're having trouble converting, I'd suggest you invest in some good copywriting courses and get yourself a strong foundation and understanding of persuasion principles.

This will provide a huge ROI for you over time as you'll be able to make sure anything you do out there will convert at a really high rate.

What's wrong with this traffic? Do you have a lightbox opt-in form on your site? If not you should install one ASAP!

Brando95,

You mentioned PPC, but later said that traffic isn't the problem -- and that converting the traffic is where you need help.

So let me explain something...

PPC is a way to drive traffic to your site. Other than making sure it's targeted, PPC is NOT about conversions. Your sales page or email series is what CONVERTS visitors into buyers.

Before you do ANYTHING, you need to have a clear plan of action in mind. That generally involves 3 elements: product, sales page, and traffic.

If you act without a plan, you'll just end up wasting your money.

If I had a lot of money and didn't have to worry about traffic, I would focus on creating a product. Something that solves a problem in an evergreen niche. You can do so much with an unique product. Create a website around the product. Write articles about how helpful the product can be. Each article should be unique, share on social media and article directories. Offer free product reviews, interviews, write press releases, promote the product with paid traffic and social media. Use the traffic you have and keep scaling. You can never have enough traffic. The more... the better. Build a buyers list and then promote complimentary products. Always update and expand.... Offer discounts, holiday discounts are cool and write press releases for each discount. My two cents.

Perhaps you should work on the conversion rate. A good copywriter may help you.

However, I agree with those who are telling you to save your money and learn what to do. When you will have a solid business plan, then you will know how invest your money and make a lot more.

I would suggest to plan for a long term and as you stated that you do not have problem driving traffic to your sites - I would suggest to build a PBN for yourself.

Multiple hostings, multiple domains in several niches spread across. A good content marketing strategy and a good keyword research can do wonders if you maintain the speed and tenacity to grow the NT organically.

I would do that definitely if I had time in hand.

Thank you guys for saving me from wasting my money, it does make alot more sense to save it for now

Before you dive head first into telemarketing, here are a few points that you should have a look at.

I've highlighted in red a few take aways.
Just a little something for you to ponder over!

I will send you my address, where did I put that at?

All 4 business models you mention are viable, but I certainly would not "dabble" in all 4 of them at the same time.

Pick 1 and go with it. Personally, I'd probably focus on building an email list.

You've already got a site up, and from what you're saying it sounds like you're already getting a good bit of traffic, so if you haven't already, slap an opt in form on your site, offering something of value, and you're off to a good start
