Wont work, it is still about finding the one in 1000 (or more) and making money off recurs.
But you are right most people for sure do not want to join. When you think that (up to) 5000 people may click your link because of some interest, see your site, get your pitch and only one maybe buy.
I remember you saying BF (2 years ago in a post) that it was about quality traffic and not quantity. I took note and you were correct.
Altho quantity is good of course, by focusing on quality you will prob improve your bottom line.
When you send 20K plus to a site without a sale it shows you how bad the site or interst really is. Imagine walking thorugh a stadium with 20,000 people with flyers and not one guy will buy. And they are in the stadium cause of interest in your topic.
Amazing how bad interest can be.
