Traffic Isn't Everything - What You Need to Know About Conversions and Click-Through Rates

http://www.smartpassiveincome.com - In this video, I share some thoughts on how we should be thinking about conversions and click through rates just as much as we are about traffic, and I also give you some real-life examples that I've used on some of my websites to increase my conversions.

Great video, liked and favorite.

What tips do you have for starting up a nitche site like the security Guard one you used as an example? I've wanted to make websites like this for a while now, but I'm not sure where to start. Maybe a future video could be making one start to finish or something. :)

@TheMatt7000 Hey Matt - check out the niche site duel posts on my blog (I mention the URL in the video, can't link to it here in the comments, it's nichesiteduel com). There, I share exactly the steps I used to create and rank a site like the security guard training one. There are videos and instructions there, free of charge. Cheers!

How did you do that in your intro? And what tools you're using to write those words???

Thanks Pat, been following your blog for a while and just started watching your vids. I've found doing vids myself has also been really beneficial, and I've really enjoyed doing them (not this username, for another blog). Apart from the fact they take a long while to produce, I enjoy doing them more than the text! I feel a greater connection with my audience...but after running a poll, my audience prefer text. So I focus on the text more than the videos.

Anyway, thanks again, good insights!
