REALITY CHECK

If our goal is $10,000 a month, What is it going to take to get there? So many people I speak to, think this is a simple goal and that anyone who has a good website makes at least that. Well reality check, Yes its very obtainable, but its not easy and it will not happen overnight. Webmastering and e-commerce do not happen overnight unless you sink thousands into advertising for an explosive grand opening. Is it worth spending thousands on ppc advertising not knowing what kind of return on investment you will make? NO, its really not, unless of course you have money to burn.

Why not SEO your site from the beginning and start with more of an organic approach until you figure out what search engine terms convert the best and then perhaps do some PPC advertising? Do yourself a favor and save some advertising dollars to begin with.

This is a road I have been down plenty of times on my own, with my own websites. My writings reflect my own sites, things I have learned over the past 10 years. If you have the inclination to go on your own and try your own thing, by all means, do it! My passion in life is teaching SEO and the basics all the way up to writing an mod rewrite on an .htaccess file. Any of you experienced webmasters know that making any website search engine friendly is no easy task and a very long process.

By taking my advice I think you will save yourself some time, money and a lot of effort. Lets start with some very simple math based on making $10,000 gross monthly.

$10,000 / 4 weeks = $2,500 weekly goal
$2.500 / 7 days a week = $357.12 a day (The internet never sleeps)

So now we know that to hit our goal of $10,000 a day it takes $357.14 a day. This is just the beginning, we have a number, lets see what it takes to get there.

Lets take a conversion ratio of 1 in 500 and an average take home of $20.00 after the money is divided up. Please keep in mind that everything converts differently, this is just an example.

Its going to take 17.857 sales a day to hit $357.12, Now converting at 1 in 500, that means we need 8,928 visits sent to the sponsor a day with 1,440 minutes in 24 hours that is 6.2 visitors per minute to the sponsor.

So how is this for interesting? I personally find it very fascinating. Can this be achieved? Of course it can, is it easy? No, absolutely not. I mean think about it, if it was that easy everyone would do it. Of course you are going to make money, that is the entire point.   Start with your own content, not copy and pasted content.

Over all I think this helps with goal setting and people come to an understanding that this is not an easy thing to do but will certainly help with goal setting

First of all, Don’t worry! We are not going anywhere, If you have questions after your sessions are over let us know! You can send us an email anytime you would like. We spend most of our days on the phone supporting clients, So an email is always best.

Keep doing what your coach has left you with. Remember that your site will never go anywhere without links to it. If all else fails, find links for your site. Read up on link exchanging on our site and do that. Your site has to have have hard-links from other sites to it and the truth is, without links your site will never be established. I am a big fan of Link Exchanged Its a great way to get links to your site.

Its important for you to know, that just because you are out of phone calls does not mean we will ever forget about your site. It simply means that the calls you originally paid for are used up and we can not schedule anymore one hour sessions. Of course we will still help you though!
