The Worst Day Ever For Sales!

    While everyone is celebrating St.Patrick's Day, it has been the worst day ever for sales in my case.

    Yesterday, I only managed a miserable 3 sales, grossing less than $100. It is my worst day for a long long time.

    Today, it is still bad though not as bad as yesterday. This has never happened before...

    How is it going for you guys? Or is it just me?

    Pardon my ranting. Need to ventilate my frustration!

    $100 isn't bad for a holiday. You must remember that people are out partying and drinking; not buying stuff online! :-D

    My friend, the strangest thing is my traffic volumes are still there, and those are targeted organic search engine traffic!!!

    How do you normally gross in sales? I am talking about a comparison here, ie normal days versus yesterday or today.

    Well, my traffic is also as high as usual, not less, but my sales is decreasing. But I thought it's unrelated to St. Patrick's day, just a matter of luck.

    That seems unusual. My traffic was way up, but still no sales which seems to be an everyday thing for me lately

    Keep in mind the scares that are happening in the Economy, I'm not much of an optimist so, i won't bring you down, but i think that we will all feel the effects of the economy's weakness soon.

    If you're using clickbank, I heard that a lot of people are suffering from low sales. I think they're having a processing credit card issue. *That's unconfirmed*

    Any sale per day is good - even one! Many marketers are struggling to rake in their first one - even after a couple of years of trying. Just don't get despondent, that's all. All thing ebb and flow, logic often taking a back seat.

    My sales have slowed quite a bit (more than usual) for this time of year. I suspect that maybe the recession is effecting people's desire buy things as much. :(

    Around how many sales do you have on a ordinary day then? Your post don't really say something 3 sales can be much for someone else.

    Normally, I will sell at least 10 to 15 products. Good days, I will make about 20 sales. Special days, I will make about 30 over sales close to $1000 a day. So 3 is a very small number to me. :(

    About $400 per month. I do not use PPC in case you want to ask me.
