What to Learn from a Nigerian Guy Demanding $60,000 From Me

A couple years ago, a guy from Nigeria — no, not the wife of a deceased prince; this was a real guy — wrote demanding to know where the $60,000 I owed him was.

Say what?

It turns out he was an affiliate of my Liberty Classroom. In the old days I offered a flat $30 commission per sale. He said he’d made over 2000 sales, and would like to know when he’d get the money.

I knew this was impossible, so I looked into his account: he had brought in 2212 clicks.

And zero sales.

So I explained to him the difference between visiting a website and becoming a paying customer.

“Do you actually know how to promote a site like this?” I asked.

I never heard back.

Now here’s the thing: would it have helped if he’d doubled or tripled the traffic he brought me?

He was bringing the wrong traffic. The traffic and my offer weren’t a match.

And that’s what we could all stand to remember: traffic isn’t everything.

Here’s what matters:

(1) The right traffic;
(2) An offer that converts (visitors into subscribers).

Killing yourself to double or triple your raw traffic numbers isn’t the only way to improve your results.

Suppose I get 10,000 people a week checking out my offer. Two percent of them buy.

I can double my sales in one of two ways: doubling my traffic, or doubling my conversion rate from two percent to four percent.

Well, I’ll tell you one thing: I’m not keen on exhausting myself trying to double my traffic. So maybe I take my existing traffic and convert more of it into customers.

How to do that?

I have just the thing for you: a free mini-course called Conversion Secrets.

Consume it however you like: videos, mp3s, or PDFs.

Personally, I’d rather watch my organs being harvested than sit through one of these “free courses” you find online. But I think you’ll agree with me: this one is actually worth your time. These are things you’ll need to know if you ever intend to sell anything online.

It’s being yanked in a couple days, so get your hands on it:
