You Do Know How Your Long Term Profits Are Being Cannibalized Right?
Ladies & gentlemen, how long have you been intent on earning a profit online? And what (pray tell) specific steps have you taken or are about to take? In your travels, has the thought ever seriously crossed your mind, that your best efforts have cannibalized your best intentions? Say what? It’s true.
Now on the surface that statement may seem a little over the top, but bare with me. And who knows you might just come to appreciate things from a whole new (and hopefully) enlightened perspective.
Think about all the stuff you’ve learned and or been exposed to, to this point about monetizing your blog. You know, stuff like selling or placing banner or display ads on your site.
And let’s not forget good old (tried and true) affiliate links. Obviously you came online to share your knowledge and expertise with the world and be justly compensated for it, right?
But therein lies at least part of your problem my friend. Huh?….
Are You Ready To Discover How Your Zest For Profits May Have Actually Cannibalized Your Business?
Let me try and put things in the proper perspective for you. That all important first time visitor (somehow), manages to arrive at your site, for the very first time.
Which means, you’ve only got a few nano seconds to make a favorable first impression,right? And your site makes an unforgettable first impression all right? First off, you’ve tons tons of banner ads and or affiliate links and or Google ads sense ads plastered all over your site!
(Hey you can’t keep the lights on without profits, right? No argument there. But entrepreneur, you’re literally reaching down (and) settling for the low hanging fruit nickels and dimes, while the long term dollar bills are (literally) fleeing your site! And guess what? According to recent statistics, a staggering 99% of your all important first time visitors won’t be coming back!
So in other words, in your over zealous quest to generate a few quick bucks, you’ve literally cannibalized your chances for some real long term profits. In at least four potentially profitable ways.
2.) Next, instead of all those banner ads or Google adsense ads, why not add some of your best customer and or client testimonials to your site! And instead of going for the quick buck, like a lot of your online peers.
Instead, look for some proven ways to lower their natural skepticism.Which means they may in fact stick around a little longer and delve deeper into your site and thereby lowering or not negatively affect your bounce rate so much.
3.) Since they’re not coming back to your site, they probably won’t be constantly referring new customers or clients, because all your gaudy banner and or affiliate links, gave them the impression that you’re primarily about a quick buck and not helping them sell their problem(s.)
4.) And lastly, they’re not going to be making that all important first purchase and that first upsell purchase either! And of course, no long term repeat purchases and or no long term back end purchases!Ouch!
All your extremely short sighted actions may have really succeeded in doing is,driving your traffic ( free or paid ) over to your competitors site(s!)

Now ladies & gentlemen, depending how much your customer (and or) clients initial purchase and subsequent long term repeat purchases and upsell purchases and referrals and testimonials are all truly worth over time to your bottom line! Is it really worth jeopardizing all that potential income over a few inadvertent clicks here and there? Especially if you’re paying for the traffic.
If it’s not, you may have just unwittingly cannibalized your business! Don’t you agree?
