But for US/euro clicked traffic it's not an unrealistic goal at all.
What I see as the main problem here is that you want to invest the money you expect to make in 3 days. Maybe that's why your sales are in a low, think about it, you want to pay amateur money for professional results. And the sad part is that you have content good enough to make way more than 5 sales, but you'll need to re-think your business model IMHO  |
Well thank you, and I agree, to some extent. But the sites in my network that DO convert make 10 - 30 sales daily. That is, one or two do ten, a couple do fifteen, one does twenty, etc. THOSE sites are not to be touched. LOL It's the sites that are 'dead' - no new content anymore, or ever to come, with the same design from 2005 I'm talking about. So I figure, spend the $400 or so now, and if sales double then it pays for itself in x # of months. If it does not pay for itself then I know that my designs do what they do compared to 'professionally-designed' sites.
True, I'm sure if I spent $3,000 to have it designed it would look....like every other 'pretty' site out there. I have two friends in this business who did that and their sales never really went up. Four hundred I can gamble with (because I think some of the girls/content is still hot) than roll 3 G's.
Hope that makes sense. LOL One's business model is often fine-tuned to one's circumstances, as it were.
