How to Overcome the Fear Of Creating Your First List & Banish Bullies From Your Life Forever
Here is an article that I submitted earier today to EZA about list building. I usually don’t post these articles on THIS blog, ( and really don’t recommend you do either) simply because they are written for a pretty general, generic and often "newbie" type of reader.
But, in this case, I decided to post it here as well, partly because I have nothing else interesting to say today, and sort of could use some content for this blog for the 12 people who stop by semi-regularly.
But also, because I think it applies. And fits, to a large degree, mas or menos, with lots of the folks who are on MY list, and do read this regularly.
While lots of the people I’ve interacted with personally on here DO have a list, and ARE actively trying to build, nurture and grow their own, I dare say…..unfortunately, most of the people who stop by and even comment ( about 2% or less of my visitors…..but, by very definition, those more inclined to "take action" on the material) DON’T have a list.
Want to know the truth? If you looked at my analytics account and saw the HUGE traffic surges this blog gets ( and I say huge in a very relative way….but still very significant from a traffic standpoint) it’s NOT when I add new content. Not when I jot down another deep thought that emanates from the very core of my creative essense. It’s not when I post cute baby pictures, either.
It’s ONLY when I send an email out to the list and let ya’ll know that there is new stuff to read. That’s it. A straight bar graph UP on the totem pole of traffic. And if you have ANY online presence at all and are not doing the same thing, you are making a mistake.
Want to know what I think keeps people from building their first list?
It’s fear. Plain and simple. It’s that leap. That sort of putting yourself out there, frailties and all, and being willing to be responsible to a crowd of people who are hungry to hear what you’ve got to say.
And that can be a scary thing.
Look – when I first started selling stuff online, I hestitated to start building my OWN list.
Why?
I still hadn’t fully gotten over getting beat up by Robbie Hawkins in second grade for stealing his baseball cards.
He literally bitch slapped me in the playground for the better part of 15 minutes while my history teacher just watched and ate a tuna fish sandwich. And it’s still painful to think about.
But you know what? I got over it. And so too will you. Check out the article below, and if it applies, put it aside and get started today.
(article below)
In this article we are going to talk about how to build a super big opt in list very fast. Now, in my opinion, list building is probably the central piece of the online marketing puzzle, and I dare say that most active online marketers would probably agree. Yet, it never ceases to amaze me how many people KNOW that list building is a crucial, and critically important component to building a viable online business, yet….don’t do it anyway.
Want to know what I think it is? Fear. People are honestly, genuinely and truly Afraid to build a list.
Why?
Who knows, I’m not a mental health professional, and didn’t stay a Holiday Inn Express last night either.
But if I had to guess, I would probably say it has something to do with their inner child being wounded.
Or, they are simply afraid of the perceived responsibility that having a list entails. What am I going to say? What do I offer? How often do I email them? What if they unsubscribe? What if I’ve just got NOTHING creative, compelling or otherwise worthwhile to communicate?
Does that sound like you? If so….here are a few simple pointers for quickly overcoming list building phobia and building a MASSIVE opt in list, and in a hurry.
Don’t have anything worthwhile to say? Don’t sweat it. Neither do half of the guys making millions of dollars a year mailing their lists. It hasn’t stopped them, and it shouldn’t stop you.
You WILL Improve. Start with short messages, build your confidence, and equally as importantly, build the confidence of the people reading YOUR messages. Inspiring people is easy, and all that is required to be a magnificent marketer to boot.
Borrow the sequence from someone else. If you are selling an affiliate product, you can ETHICALLY "borrow" the vendors sequence, loosely re-calibrate it so that it’s yours….and that’s totally kosher to do. (remember, they want you to sell their stuff)
Put your form everywhere. Yes, on your blogs, on your squidoo pages, link to it on blog comments and forum posts,on your bike rack when you’re heading for a long weekend in the Hamptons. The more places that people see your form, the more exponentially, and explosively your list will grow.
Get best of breed giveaways. Simply search and scour for good stuff to give away. Search your niche on the major engines and append "free", "ebooks" "pdf’s", etc – search blog directories, Twitter, etc….and just have primo free stuff to offer. Nothing will do a better job of growing your list in rapid fire turn around time than free stuff, and there is plenty of it around for EVERY marketplace if you are willing to look!
(end article)
Remember, you can go out and get opt in templates that are PROVEN to convert, and all you really need to do is copy and paste your own content in, where the appropriate spots are. ( lots of people, it seems….are afraid of creating the actual PAGE itself)
Also – as above, you can literally take an entire email sequence that you KNOW is already working, drop it into your own sequence, borrow an ebook or giveway ( or even simply buy one that gives you the rights to offer, which can even be better for opt in conversions) and just use article marketing to drive traffic to the page and get the fabulous list building fiesta fired up…and fast.
I truly can’t think of anything easier…..and if any of the above is holding you back, think it through again – this stuff is NOT tough, and if it was….I’d probably be doing something else.

Hi
We spend day after day working on the site and have little or no time for list building .
We have a newsletter opt in and have some clients signing up .
What is the best way for us to go to build a better list . ?
Thanks
RET
Hi Ron – first of all – your site LOOKS great….very impressive! ( and looks like Joomla, right?)
You need to move the opt in form UP on the page – I’d put it as close to the top as you can while not disrupting the navigational elements. It should be above the fold at the very least. (alternatively, you could have it “float” somewhere closer to the top right of the page outside of the nav structure completely….but that will be harder to code in)
Second – you need to change the text from “newsletter” – which wont’ inspire much compelling reason to sign up to something more definitive – i.e. – give them a reason why they SHOULD sign up – a discount for V.I.P memebers only available for subscribers, – a 7 mistakes people make when buying gifts online FREE report, etc – that approach works well for this style site – IF, you are going to capture names.
You have to create an incentive to sign up – if I’m interested in your stuff – and your site looks great ( which is does) – I’m going to be interested in being on your list and notified of specials, one time offers, etc – it’s really that simple. And the more people on your list – the more money you will make…and the faster you are going to make it, too! ( especially as a site like this ages in the search engines – which may take a little while for true organic traffic)
Otherwise – looks great – and hope you guys do very well with it!
I have not been building a list because I am unemployed and afraid to pay a monthly fee where I am not sure what the ROI will be. So yeap that’s my reason. Anyways time for some questions:
1. Should you build a list if you are promoting clickbank products on ppc or should you only build a list when you’re doing cpa offers on adwords?
2. Have you done any test to see what kind of opt in form works best? Pop over? Before visitor exit? Or just have it on either your right or left navigation bar? bottom of every page?
3. After they opt in do you redirect them to the sales page or just direct them to a thank you page and please confirm the link in your email inbox?
4. So you are sending out your newsletter and your promoting a certain product and giving value, do put in your affiliate link or do you have a link to your website and then have them click on your affiliate link. So in other words should readers jump 1 hoop or 2 hoops?
I would definitely look at a list service like aweber as investment….and not an expense. ( 20 bucks a month is like 65 cents a day – and outside of hosting, is the ONE service *required* to build a web business)
But – and you’ve got to remember – everyone ( and sometimes – every niche) has thier own best practice, and you’ve got to play around with it until you find what works best for you. In my system though:
1 – Actually the resverse. CPA network offers are more ameenable to “skipping” the list building – and Clickbank products it’s almost mandatory for the vast majority of offers, which historically convert at 1% or less on direct linking ( and yes, I do know plenty of people who DO direct linking arbitrage, and will tell you it’s “easy” – it’s not….and far more people lose money here than win) CPA offers I prefer to build a list as well – but review sites, and even review blogs are a shortcut that can work very well – and don’t require a list.
2 – I prefer ONE dedicated page – with multiple forms – sidebar/footer opt in rates are not nearly as good – a dedicated page is always best. ( those video opt in’s templates above in the post above are killer – and you really only need to find a video RELATED to your market – paste it in – do almost no work…and you’ve got the name. Truly simple)
3 – I do both – but don’t prefer to re-direct if I can help it – as it tends to annoy me when people do it – and it’s fair to assume that it annoys other people when I do it to them..:-) A thank you page – letting people know their special offer is coming and to confirm……AND – a special one time offer, or link to the affilaite program that you’re going to be recommending works very well. ( i.e. – your special report is waiting for you……BUT, if you are ready to leap frog the learning curve and dive right in…..here is the ONE program that can help you do it)
4 – You don’t want to call it a newsletter – AND – I prefer to send people back to a blog – or static page with each email as it 1) builds readership, 2) builds trust 3) you can ask for comments and interactivity and 5) I can usually do a better job of selling their product in my own words than the vendor, mostly due to my unusually large vocabulary, transcendent charm and contagious charisma.
If you dont’ have either one of those, it’s usually better to send them straight from the email to the offer.
Does anyone know what happened to the #4 above? Somehow we went straight from 3 to 5, which rarely happens anymore, especially considering I typically carry the one on the difficult math.
I was goign to go back in and add a #4, just because I’m sort of obsessive compulsive and it’s starting to annoy me – it’s just sitting there with a big gaping hole where a #4 should be, sort of a reminder of the utter imperfection of it all – but I feel sort of feel guilty going back in and editing it, I mean, comments are sort of meant to live forever in their initial, unedited raw glory and somehow just adding a #4 after the fact feels fake to me.
Plus I’m not even sure what I would write.
This is why blogging is not a healthy activity for me, it’s the little decisions which I agonize over, and I’m just sort of frozen here with indecision about what to do next.
I’m going to go and take a walk and get some fresh air. Please forget you read this. Thanks again for your support.
One thing I’ve noticed is that people get really sensitive if you’re linking to an opt in page when making a blog comment – and in a way I can kind of understand it but have been doing it anyway, not worrying too much about those sensitive types. Do you think it’s much better to link to a blog when commenting on a blog?
I used to think the same thing as vuedoloor about the expense of Aweber. But then it really sunk in that having a list of people who really want to know what you have to say is an ASSET. Paying the monthly fee is your investment – and for the price of it, you’d be hard pressed to find a better investment.
I know a bunch of other marketers who don’t provide anything really unique or special but they’ve developed such a special bond with their list that those people will buy anything they suggest.
But that’s the great thing – it shows that you don’t have to be this crazy guru, you just have to be willing to be a few steps ahead of everyone else to share some info. That’s why I hope people watch what you do – because you’re building a list who jumps every time you send out an email. I know because I’m one of them! (but then again, you’re a crazy guru in disguise)
Thanks, Jay…..and yes, it probably is…..I agree, somewhat obnoxious to link to a simple opt in page. But, you can certainly put your form in a post, or offer it prominently on your blog page ( i.e. – sidebar, etc) and where your opt in rates will be lower by and large, you will also step on far less toes, and be much more ecologically friendly, which is important, I guess..:-)
For example – i get very few opt in’s on this blog ( where the ebook is – although as I’ve mentioned before – I have no “sell” that there is even an offer there to act on…..which I will get around to changing one day..:-) but on my dedicated pages, I’ll get 25-50%, depending on the niche, and of course – on where the traffic is coming from. ( referal or recommendation traffic obviously converts the best, especially in the IM space)
I’ll tell you something that has worked really, really well for me in niche markets for blogs – the Ultimate Footer Ad script – ( and which you can get for free for 30 days) – you can also manage a bunch of different installs from one location, has some cool affiliate “ad” benefits as well and it’s been great for us on blogs where traditionally the opt in rates have been low. ( even when the content itself is popular with the readers)
So much cool stuff out there these days – that there is really NO excuse not to build a huge list – you can alsmost do it by accident.
Plus it’s instant gratification that something is working even if you’re not making money yet. There’s nothing like waking up in the morning and seeing brand new subscribers on your list.
Thanks always for your detailed and insightful replies. Hopefully people realize how much gold this blog is!
Your welcome!
Hi Ian,
Don’t forget laziness. Unfortunately, laziness can be a simple explanation for lack of action. Sometimes we quote Freud and
look for deep seeded motivations, when the obvious is staring
at our ugly mugs.
People come to your blog and STAY on your list because you
provide great value. It is evident that you give a poop about
your subscribers.
It is possible that some people are reluctant to start a list because
they think they have to be as good and talented as you to “deserve” a list.
WRONG!
Keep up the good work, and I’ll check you later!
Mike
Thanks, Mike – and I agree! Plus of course – most lists are not in the IM markets anyway – so really – if you’re doing what you love and are good at – it’s easy to “self-justify” the fact that you deserve one. For example – I have a big list in the Out of Body/astral projection “niche” – and the closest I’ve come to an OBE was after accidently ingesting a plate of mushrooms in Jamaica that I thought were part of the buffet. I also sang back up vocals to Bob Marley in a huge stadium of 100,000 people during the same experience. I’m not sure what that has to do with your comment, but I thought I’d share it anyway.
Have you been reading my mind? I have started to build a list and although it’s still small I realize that I am guilty of exactly what you have described! I have been trying to offer my list a lot of good, free info but I have been reluctant to ask them to buy!
I have started looking more closely at the emails I receive myself and realize that if I ask for the sale and they unsubscribe then so be it. I will continue to try to offer a good mix of value and offers and continue to work on get more opt-ins.
You offer a lot of good tips here and I am definitely going to get more aggressive in building my list!
Diana
Thanks Ian for the great post. Borrowing email sequence from others is also a great idea. I think its okay if we do it ethically.
However, do you have any recommendation on what are the things that we need to write in the sequence? I mean, do we need to talk about the business only or other stuff like your pet or some stuff then lure them into our offers?
Or you just write a blog post and tell your list go go to that link?
Based on your experience, which one would do best ?
I prefer to link to a blog post, or static page, yes. ( see the question above from Vueldeloor) However, as we know – lots of folks don’t – and it easier just to link to the offer itself – i.e. – here is todays lesson, and here is what you should buy to get the most practical value/benefit/etc out of todays lesson) I prefer the blog or community approach because it allows you to build a business – and an asset – rather than simply building an email list around one or two specific offers.
If I’m in the psychic market – for example – and I have a list of 2000 subs – and 20% of those will occasionally visit my recommended offers - I might make some money – but it’s not *really* an assetly per se in my view – whereas – if I have an active site – with 2000 subs that are constantly flowing back to the site – clicking on ads, interacting with my content – leaving comments – buying affiliate offers – clicking on adsense and banner ads, etc – I have an asset that is easily demonstrably valuable to someone else, too.
i.e. – you have strong analytics – comments, community, etc – it’s easy to turn that wordpress blog – and it’s “community” into a turn key sale ( especially if you are are *not* the central figurehead of the site – i.e. – with this blog – it’s just me – as it’s * my * blog – but a good practice for niche stuff is to create a supporting “cast” of characters, etc – or at least that’s how I prefer to do it for the above, and other reasons.
I’m a big believer in the process though that you see here being on my list – i.e. – if you reverse engineer my emails to you ( not that they are pieces of art or anything….because they’re not..:-) but simply say – hey, Raimi – I’ve updated my blog today with something that I think you are going to like – it’s on my favorite way to do “x” – I’d love for you to stop by and check it out, let me know your thoughts, and share your feelings with the the group…:-)
You come – you read – you see other people have commented – you comment – I respond – I look accessible – and friendly – (and a bit of a wackadoo at times which I’m trying to scale back for the sack of my professional future) and hopefully smart – and informed – and everyone is happy.
If you follow the same approach – and yet are a bit more aggressive with promoting an offer in each and every post per the product you are promoting, you are going to make sales.
And other people are going to make the sales for you. ( the comments, the people who say – I bought X and love it – I’m taller/smarter/my dog behaves better/I’ve lost 28 pounds and counting/etc) It’s just that simple – no more – no less – it all ties together as you will make MORE sales using this approach – have a valuable community of interactivity – and have an asset that has real value to boot. ( a WordPress blog that looks good, has good organic traffic, AND a responsive and loyal list can be a very valuable thing – and 10-12 – or even 25 of them, while taking some work – can leave you financially independent in a hurry.
I do the exact same thing elsewhere that I do here – I’m just more aggressive with offers – and a bit less eccentric with the writing. ( although it takes a lot of restraint..;-)
Hi Diana – thanks – and yes, being more aggressive is definitely key!
Hi ian
Great Post ! Great advice
Peter
Hi Ian,
Excellent post, I can’t wait for the next one!
I have quite a few questions that I was hoping you could answer, I’ll try to keep them as minimal as possible though, haha.
1. I’m going to be doing an experiment for the next 2 months, which will consist of
A: Brand new market/products
B: Crap loads of articles written every day, 10+
C: Traffic driven to opt-in page to build list
So I’m wondering – Should I build a blog for this and have content filled on the blog as you explained in one of your other posts, to build trust and such with my subscribers – Or does it work best in some markets to just send them directly to an offer.
2. What is a good conversion rate to expect on an average list of subscribers.. What percentage should I expect to buy my products?
3. I have certain articles that are getting tons of views, for instance one that has over 700 views in the past 4 days… Is this because I chose a good keyword, or did I just luck out?
4. When I’m writing 10+ articles a day, should I just submit them when I’m done, or should I spread it out to keep traffic flowing for a longer period of time – or does it not really matter?
5. Do you have any recommendations when it comes to learning Adwords? I’ve been through so many products, and they all have different views – The most comprehensive one I have seen so far is Perry Belcher’s product…. But I was just wondering if you could suggest anything.
I’m sure I’ll have more in the future (sorry
) – I must say though, there is more information on your blog than I have found anywhere else… at least on the discussed subjects.
Thanks man!
-Chris
Hi Chris – Thanks!
It’s hard to answer some of those questions, because there are simply so many variables to all of this, that it’s difficult to recommend ONE particular path per se.
But –
As you can see from what I do here – sending to a dedicated opt in page, and then recycling the traffic back to a blog or series of static pages that sell for you – in my view – is the best approach. It’s not the easiest, and takes the most work – but ultimately, is the best way to build a “brand” and bond with your audience, which is super important to me.
If you are selling a one time Clickbank product? Might be too much work – and ultimately frustrating if you aren’t getting hyper quick results – so might be better just to try it the “old fashioned” way – collect the name – and then use the email follow ups to send directly to the offer. If this is successful, you can always intersperse the sequence with blog posts ( i.e. – hey “frank” – come check out our blog for an interesting post on X that you’ll like, etc) and you can dedicate more time to that particular niche if you find it has an interactive, passionate group of people who want to interact with your stuff.
Conversion percentage, etc – is impossible to gage….:-) I don’t know how persuasive you are, how good the offer is, how well you write, stack the sequence, how passionate the list is, etc – I can tell you without hesitation though – if you are collecting names, you will do exceed the conversion metric for that particular product relative to NOT collecting names. ( i.e. – using straight redirects, arbitrage, etc)
Your recent article success could be luck (which I’ll take any day!) or simply your title was really good ( much more likely than keyword utilization – depending on the niche – 4 days is too premature to celebrate the keyword combo or choice – that comes later as the article stays and ages in the engines -) and killer headlines are what usually gets an article super high views the first few days or so – which can be directory driven traffic, rather than SERP’s. ( if you are collecting names – these names can often be a little less valuable, as they may be competitiors, etc – but overall – a name – is a name – is a name..:-)
As far as PPC goes – I do HYPER specific ppc for my niches and do well with it – but only because I don’t allow much margin for error ( I don’t do big, broad general PPC campaigns because I don’t have the time to pay attention) but – if I were going to recommend ONE resource that I trust it would be Glenn Livingston – first – because I believe he is widely considered to be amongst the best teachers of PPC and he’s a super smart guy too – and second – because he’s family – and humble – honest and totally trustworthy – and the ONE person I’ll go to with PPC questions when I’ve got them…:-)
( NOT an affiliate link – and well worth checking out his monthly PPC club)
http://www.payperclicksearchmarketing.com/
Hey Ian,
Thanks for the reply – I check out the PPC site and it looks promising so far.
I would definitely it’s directory traffic, because the keyword is already listed twice in google (and those articles have tens of thousands of views as it is).
So I can see what you mean about the competitors opting in and such… But do you think it’s still worth writing the articles? I’m pretty sure I can bring in a good chunk of traffic doing the 10 articles per day thing. Hopefully I can get it to convert pretty well…
I don’t know if I want to do just a clickbank product, or move on to something in CJ/CPA offers – I have no experience with anything but clickbank so…. I don’t know yet, any suggestions on that?
Thanks again Ian,
-Chris
No problem, Chris – there is no difference between clickbank and the other networks in terms of PROCESS – it’s just that they tend to convert better..:-) If you go and look at CJ – for example – they have very clear metrics set up to show how much you should *expect* to earn for every 100 visitors you send them – obviously this fluxuates a little bit contingent on quality of traffic – but – the key is to simply find HIGH EPC number on CJ throughout the network – and create campains around those offers.
Medifast – for example – we promoted very successfully a year ago or so with simple article submissions – and just used a redirect – and the traffic converted much, much better than any ebook or digital product on clickbank for the same niche.
Had I used list building for this – it would have even done better – i.e. -” 7 ways to get the most out of Medifast – free report” – you get 1000 people to download that – include free or promotional coupons in the ebook ( CJ would have them in the links section of the merchant offer) and follow up with a sequence – I mean – they can’t really USE the tips if they dont’ buy the diet, right?
That’s the best way to start out – in my view – and you can simply find a book like that for any niche -write it yourself – etc – tie it in to a dependency equation – i.e. – they have to BUY the product to use the tips – and you’ve got a winner.
I loved this post!
After 5 on and off years of NOT making money with my internet marketing pursuits, I have finally opened an account with aweber.
I was held back by a tight budget and yes, a bit of fear. Ok – a lot of fear. The tight budget is not as tight as it was, and I’ve decided to push through the fear. It seems silly now that I see this in print.
I’ve been inspired by your 4I theory from the ‘Do Good Looking People Make More Money Online?’ article to produce my own material for email campaigning.
Furthermore, I was relieved to find out that you don’t have to be good looking to make money online. That cracked me up.
Thanks, Tammi – and good luck with list building – I hope you do well with it. And – I’m REALLY happy someone read that article – I’ve writen like 5 or 6 of those ( they are COMPLETELY tongue in cheek – not serious one bit..:-) and it ALWAYS surprises me that they
1) get published
and
2) that more people don’t sign up after reading them..:-)
( those articles always have terrible conversions – mostly because I guess people think the person writing them must be a complete and utter idiotic meglomaniac – whereas I’m really only trying to get their attention in a way that I think is somewhat shocking and hopefully funny! They make me laugh and that’s all that counts I guess..:-)
Ian what are your thoughts on using and rewriting PLR articles and submitting them to article directories?
I have only been submitting articles to EZA only and have not submitted articles to any other article directories out there. Is it worth submitting to other article directories? To the top 20 or to hundreds of different article directories?
Ian,
I need a punch in the face or something, haha – You’ve told me that CJ offers convert better than clickbank products, but I’m still too afraid to make the jump.. I don’t know why
I guess I have more experience marketing ebooks and stuff. Either that or im just frightened of CJ’s “complexity”
Great post!..i like the way you write …definitely build a list is so important and i have to do it.I have been working in blogs english\spanish and i’ve to build a list…basta de vagancia.
Thanks, Alejandro!
Thanks again Ian. You have quickly become my web-marketing guru of choice. I look forward to your posts.
-and to building a list of my own.
Thanks Ron – I appreciate it!
Hey Ian, man I feel so late coming in on the blog party here and reading these a year late. Then again, I just started free traffic methods a couple months ago….
Nonetheless, it’s all lovely stuff and I am enjoying it (along with your facebook status updates. Yes, I totally creeped your profile. It’s a bad habit of mine that won’t end soon.)
I took the jump to signing up for an autoresponder today. I went with Webby Mail. It’s a $49 one-time fee for unlimited lists, contacts, responders, etc. So I hope it works out. If you’ve heard about it, do you have opinions? I have 15 days to try it out so if it sucks, I can bail.
I was also wondering if you have a preferred type of opt-in form. Like some are the basic pop over, others are on the sidebars at the top, some have a fancy graphic with a big button. I want to make sure I start off strong. An opt-in form that I am interested in trying is one at www getgooglesniper com (trying to not link or endorse the site, sorry.)
Can you check his out and let me know what you think? I promise to not comment for 36 minutes.
Thanks, Jeff – no I don’t know anything about webbymail….I use aweber and think they are probably the most reliable solution.
Don’t worry about what the form looks like…..for a blog – I like to use an image of a form – and a big button – and link to a dedicated opt in form that has more space to cover benefits, etc – but the one you reference above is good – and easy to do – good graphical display of what you’re getting (ebook, etc) helps as well. (some niches seem to respond better to “pretty” forms – others, like IM – are more accosutomed to bare bones sorts of opt in’s and worrying too much about “looks’ can be a un-neccessary time suck!)
I got a refund for my webbymail lol. The website has been down for the past day. Dumb of me. Back to aweber lol.
I just went and checked on the stats for the 10 articles I submitted a couple of weeks ago. None of them have more than 20 views lol.
I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. Maybe I need to start building some links to them or something. Unless the guitar niche sucks? 11 views on average per article in 2 weeks just seems terrible for me. Does it normally take a month or two for the views to come in? They’re in the guitar niche.
