I would honestly answer these but, I can hardly understand wtf you're asking, and don't know if you're serious or just trying to make another pointless point that no one gives a fuck about.
I have played the numbers game in selling probably longer than you've been alive. When I was playing truant from school and getting cash washing cars, I knew the more doors I knocked on the more money I earned. Also knew the better the neighborhood I worked in the more I could earn. This was in 1964. A little later I was a market trader and knew the better the position, the more money, the better the market the more money.

Same goes for working as a salesman selling office furniture. Same when selling my content.

I also knew all these were secondary to what I said when I knocked on a door and what I delivered after the sale.

The problem with so many is they put numbers at the top of the list and the game of getting the numbers is so screwed up in online porn, they give the product away for free. It's meant selling to 1-10 has now become selling to 1-1,000s and the numbers of sold too are declining faster than the traffic is coming to buy something.

Instead of constantly adding numbers, look at your selling techniques closer.

What's the first thing you say to a possible customer?
What's the next thing you say to them?
What do you offer them that's grabbing their attention.
What are you selling them.

Why should they listen to you and not slam the door in your face? Or click the "Return" button.

Mark just made a good post. This is far more important than the numbers game.
