I started my new business around 10 days ago and all I can say is that it is in the health niche. I already had the site design from a previous product I was selling and it only took me a couple of hours to put the site up and running. The product is actually Armando’s, with some minor adjustments to fit my niche, the copy was also written by him. All I needed was the actual marketing.
I actually extended Armando’s niche and will somewhat try to market there. I also added some keywords, changed the design and added testimonial photos.
At the moment I’m split testing 3 Headlines and sub headlines to see which one converts best, I’m also tracking the clicks of the visitors for the last couple of days since I found this free tool, but thats all I’m doing with the copy at the moment.
As for the marketing, I decided to run three different blogs that directly link to my site and generate some visitors. For my 30 day challenge I’m currently doing some bum marketing, since at the moment I can’t afford to PPC.
I’m writing 3 unique articles every day for 30 days and posting them on my blogs or ezinearticles. I’m basically submitting 1 article to ezinearticles and 2 to each of my blogs with unique content. On the 3rd blog I post duplicate content from my approved ezinearticles.
I’m testing a couple of things at the same time to see what exactly works. I’m also submitting every article to Social Bookmarking sites like propeller and digg, but not more than 4 a day for every post. I also got my blogs submitted to all the major RSS feed sites.
I have my product submitted on clickbank and so far I have only had 4 sales in the 10 days I started to market the product, that is from 210 visitors I managed to funnel on my landing page within the challenge.
For testing purposes the current product price is $8.95, I got to bring my SEO traffic a little bit higher in order to REALLY start seeing some money flow. I got a little bit of drop down in traffic in the last few days, don’t really know the reason but it’s probably random (I’m of course using google analytics). I’ve got plans for continuity and upsells in the future once I test the copy. But for now I’ll just try to dominate the niche. maybe use some PPC later on.
OK and here are some stats to go along with this post (most are copy paste from analytics) for the past 10 days:
All traffic sources sent a total of 210 visits
3.81% Direct Traffic
65.24% Referring Sites
30.95% Search Engines
Main traffic sources:
ezinearticles.com (referral) 72 34.29% (3 conversions)
(blog1).wordpress.com (referral) 37 17.62% (1 conversion)
google (organic) 30 14.29%
yahoo (organic) 20 9.52%
i.ezinearticles.com (referral) 12 5.71%
Blog 1 traffic = 207 views and 37 clicks
Blog 2 traffic = 35 views and 7 clicks
Blog 3 traffic = 19 views and 5 clicks
NOTE: The last two blogs are up for only 4-5 days.
Me, Armando and good friend of his are also getting together on Sunday to discuss the new business we were thinking about starting, so I will have plenty to do in the next couple of days.
Will keep you updated on the progress,
David
