Oh the trials and tribulations

Okay, so I should know that I am going to learn some lessons along the way but some of them I would like to avoid.  I have had a couple of big ones over the last 10 days that I would just as soon as not had.

First, I found out that my landing pages were still sitting in test mode which meant that when folks clicked through to go to the sales pages, they were getting a test feedback rather than getting there.  Doesn’t make for great sales that way.

After I got that fixed, everything was cruising along just fine with good CPC, CTRs and decent hops.  However, I wasn’t getting any sales.  Isn’t that the point of this whole thing?  So, I got in touch with my mentor and described the problem.  he looked in his ClickBank records and didn’t find any hops from me.  Surprise, surprise!!! Why is this.

Well, after going back and forth a couple of times, we figured out that my links were not pointing at the right place.  I was going to a sales page that has one of the lowest gravity factors in this niche.  Oh well, it only goes to show that you really need to test and be very careful about making sure that the details are correct.

Now that I have everything fixed up, my two Landing Pages (LPs) (DIYSolarPanels and MakeSolarPanels)  are working fine and its just a matter of time before we see what the real results should be.
