  Let's see. Yes, I would be most interested in a guide like this. I think $97 has a good ring to it. As for increase, I would hope to learn things to do that would bring an initial 25% increase, but will continue to grow month by month.

  I would love such a guide. I look at all the methods there are an get overwhelmed so I would love something that takes me through first do this, then do this - maybe a day by day plan for the first days of having a website, then a weekly plan for ongoing attraction of traffic. I would be ECSTATIC with 1000 vistors a day to any of my 4 sites - I get about 50 at most just now :)
  
  And I agree that $97 is enough to make people think there si value in an information product without taking it out of the reach of people struggling to make somey just now.

  Thanks so much Tinu. (And happy to be a guinea pig/case study on any early stuff if you like)
  
  Not sure how much would be appropriate in terms of days - my first thought was 30 days but not sure if that would be enough steps or too many.
  
  The important thing to me is the plan because just now my head is spinning so much with all the things I should be doing (writing articles, creating blogs and posting to them, posting to forums, adding to directories, getting a list) that I end up reading more and more about stuff and getting confused about what to do next although I am working away and doing something to market my sites most days :)

  Thanks Tinu! Awesome, I can't wait.
  
  Like Janice, I get overwhelmed too. She explained this perfectly, thanks Janice :)! I know a lot of the things I should be doing, but sometimes it takes me hours just to figure one thing out.
  
  Being a single mom with a full-time job, I only have so much time a day, so having a guide like you outlined above (do this today, tom. do this, stop doing this...) would be fantastic.
  
  I think everybody has jumped on the John Reese- virtual empire these days, including me, but I want to build quality content sites that will be SE friendly for years to come and I know this is what you have going.
  
  As for the question you asked Janice, I don't think the number of days is as important as the results. If it's a 5 day process that needs to be repeated every week or every day, I'm good with that.
  
  Thanks again, Tinu,
  Tracy

  I am full-time online although also looking after home and family so spend about 5 - 7 hours each day on my sites, trying to figure things out and reading email (too much).
  
  I don't think it's the lack of time for me (or even the lack of action) it's a lack of focus and having a plan. I'm always going off in tangents - I've somehow managed to get 3 sites and a blog and something is always getting neglected. It would be good to take one site and give it lots of the right attention but then I heard about John Reese and his Virtual Real Estate and was also going to build a new site a month....and none of them would have much traffic at this rate :)
  
  I think I could spend 3 hours a day on one site if it meant getting visible results. But I've no idea if that's enough or not!

  Hey Tinu,
  
  Of course we will want a guide like this!
  
  Targeted traffic is one of the most important aspects of
  ANY online business, and for someone like you to show us
  how to get it - it'll be worth TONS.

  1) Yes, I would very much be interested in the type of guide you are proposing. I actually prefer information in written format over video/audio, but realize this is just a difference in learning styles - - good idea for you to offer multiple-format products in order to accommodate everyone! I like the idea of having the basics all in one place; there are waaay to many info products that revolve around one method or another. I, for one, do not have the time or patience to wade through hundreds of pages of material for each traffic generating method.
  
  2) I would be interested in a branded version of the free version if I could somehow apply it to eBay vendors and if I would like to be able to offer it on eBay.
  
  3) I'm going to have to disagree with the $97 price point, with one exception - - I would be willing to pay that much if I didn't have to pay it all up front. It's just that I find myself in circumstances where I'd be hard-pressed to come up with $97 all at once, not that I think the information isn't worth the $97, because I'm sure it is. And, I suspect there are plenty of other people in the same boat as I am financially (and all of us need more traffic!).
  
  4) With my web site, ANY sales would be helpful. I realize that I am probably marketing something that does not have broad appeal, but I feel like I've hit on an emerging niche; apparently I just don't know how to go about marketing to it. So, I'm afraid I can't be as specific as x-number of visitors or x-percent increase.
  
  As I'm writing, it has also occurred to me that it would be helpful to have some guidance about how to decode the traffic statistics from my web site hosting company RE the visitors to my site. I always feel so overwhelmed when I look at all that information, and I always think "Geez, I wish I knew what this meant so I could figure out how to use it to my advantage." Perhaps your guide could include something along those lines, too.

  Hi Tinu,
  
  I agree with many of the previous posts/posters about being overwhelmed. I have just published my fourth site and while I know what to do, I don't necessarily know if there is a particular order that will give me the best return for my time.
  
  If you give a day-by-day, "hand-holding", step-by-step description / plan of attack, it'd bring order to a lot of our chaotic web-strewn lives.
  
  Cheerios,

  Hi Tinu,
  
  To answer your question, it varies :)
  
  Somedays I spend an hour, some 3 hours, and some 16 hours. I could definetely devote another hour a day for new strategies and after April, maybe more (I may be leaving my job). I tend to get a little more crazy when I actually see something working.

  Hi, Tinu,
  
  As always, you pique the interest of your readers...
  
  You mentioned a magic word "traffic" that if we all knew the answers to, we'd all be rolling in wealth!
  
  "...interested in a branded version of the free one to distribute..."
  
  YES... most definitely would want a brandable version. :-)
  
  
  "...I tend to price my products so low that people don’t believe the knowledge is in there..."
  
  Those of us who know your products, already know that the value is there, the over-delivery is there, and pricing too high will eliminate a lot of struggling marketers... so it's a conundrum for sure.
  
  For many, the choice between paying $97 to keep the electricity on during the summertime... well, there's just absolutely no contest between that and another internet marketing product. ;-)
  
  I also have a suggestion for a product. If someone could invent a script that allows the thousands of people whose computers stopped playing flash after they upgraded (should I say attempted to upgrade) to version 8... they would make a mint. Macromedia is aware of the dilemma, is working on it, but thus far, nothing has been resolved. IE and flash.ocx no longer play nicely together.
  
  Take care of you... you are sooo appreciated,
  Donna

  Hi All,
  
  Maybe you can give me some pointers on maximizing traffic for my site. I have tried everything in the book, plus spent a ton of money. I am currently using adwords but it is not doing so well. I did not do to bad using traffic exchanges, but the traffic did not flow, it always came in spurts. I am trying to focus on writing articles, but it takes time. Any advice is welcome for sure.
  
  Take Care!

  Hi Terry,
  
  Well the idea turned into a new membership site. It's opening soon so you may yet get your chance. ;)

  Okay so I built this thing and it's Traffic Reality. Out of the people who originally applied who still wants a free subscription in the terms of our deal?
