Well, the site I had abandoned as a no-go as advised by the 30DC process produced a sale yesterday. This is a momentous occasion because it is the first commission I have ever earned from Internet Marketing.
It is only £1.57, so cannot be considered significant financially, but it is very significant psychologically, because it is the first time in all my months of effort in online marketing that money has flowed in that direction!
So, having not touched Pushchair Stroller, my thirty day challenge site, since the “no-go” decision, I am now wondering what I should do with it. There have been 110 unique visitors in over a month, which is pathetic, of which about 50 have clicked the offer, and 1 has converted. So the ratios are fine – just the TRAFFIC that is missing!!! And of course that lack of traffic was the thing that caused me to decide the site was a no-go because it is highly ranked so there is nowhere to go to get more traffic. It’s still a dud site, but it’s encouraging that the click-through rate and the conversion rate are nice, which shows that I got some of it right and just need to apply the same process to different micro-niches that will get more traffic. Yes they WILL! I have two more sites up already, and two more that I have just registered domains for. Therefore soon I will have four micro-niches on test, sort of overlapping time-wise. I am just hoping for more traffic on these.
Right, no time to sit back – back to my link-building, content creation, article writing and keying pages into Traffic Bug (don’t ask..)
Oh, you may be wondering how this is going to fit into the big plan of my self-employment. The answer is that I am giving it everything I have got until it works and I start to earn at least part of what I need each month, from Internet Marketing.
Authors bio is coming up shortly.
