Clicks but no Sales:(

Hey Guys,

I have been trying out setting up a one niche specific blog, adding content and promote clickbank product. The purpose is to get it optimized so that it appears in SERPs to generate organic traffic.
As this would be time consuming, in the mean time to get faster sales, I tried Facebook & Google Adwords PPC methods.
I observe that I have been getting reasonably good amount of clicks. But no sales

I have also added an Opt-in form. However I am not getting any leads as well.

Can someone review this blogsite and see where things are going wrong and what should be done to get sales through PPC.
This is my blog: How to Make Yourself Sleep

Reviews and Feedbacks will be highly appreciated

    1) Maybe your ads were poorly targeted.
    2) You list building attempts are not aggressive. Just having that opt in bar on the sidebar won't do much you need a exit intent or something that pops up.
    3) You don't have a lead magnet. People don't want to subscribe for updates they want to subscribe for something useful like a video, a discount or piece of content

    Instead of sending people right to your blog you could send them to a opt-in form offering them access to a video, after they opt in send them to a clickbank offer that has a video.

    You could also send people to a opt-in form offering them something you create, after they opt-in for the free product you can try to sell another lower priced product that you created.

    You have options, you just have to test some new things.

    Please remember that clicks are no longer actual relevant clicks on some ad platforms.

    Especially on a mobile phone. Some people go to a site and shit just pops up and automatically redirects you to some other shit while you are hitting the back button before your phone or computer freezes up with a warning or some spam advertising.

    So the actual advertiser may think that they have actual clicks. While the person who got blindly redirected to your site is pissed off that they went through a scammy pop up bull crap that diverted them from viewing what they intended to view.

    So even if they may be interested in your offer. The scammy process that got them to your offer while slowing down or freezing their internet; Will leave them to say phuck your ad offer in the long run.

    So don't take it personal. Just make sure that you are running ads on a platform that doesn't allow scammy redirects.

    Because I rather have 20 actual valid clicks and not 2000 people that was just diverted to my site under scammy conditions while doing their best to exit my site because they now think that my site is a spam scam as well.

      Your observation is well noted.
      As I am using Adwords and Facebook Adverts PPC campaigns, so I assume that these platforms are authentic and will not allow spammy redirects.

    You simply need a dedicated landing page just to convert visitors and not getting them to read your blog.

    No one will trust a writer who blog about sleeping.

    You don't have much credibility compared to a doctor who specialized in insomnia.

    You trust the bank more than your wife with your savings too. Aren't you?

    The same apply to selling and making money with Clickbank.

      Thanks for your advice.

      I get it that to make PPC work, I need to do the following things:

      1. Create a landing page with an Opt in form
      2. Make it as a lead magnet by offering something for free
      3. Once I start getting leads, convert them into sales by way of email marketing campaigns

      What I was doing, basically blogging about a Clickbank product and promoting with PPC campaigns; will not help me to get sales.

      If there is any other way to make sales via PPC, please let me know.
