Sales stop at the 15th of every month..? What retarded shit is this?

Actually I do offer BillMeLater and feature it pretty prominently on the site, but people are scared of it when they hear there's a credit check

Oh you're the vendor brah?

I was treating this thread like you're the affiliate.

In that case, survey your customer base, dig out what their spending habits are.

That shit is valuable data, it will tell you more than anyone here can.

But that is a valid point you raise about Credit Checks....

yeah... I'm a numbers kinda guy but as other people stated in the thread, there's just not that many numbers to crunch here, because I don't have that much traffic.

how would one go about surveying their target demo?

Your target demo are those you sold too. They are now your database. You're in the very priviliged situation of having access to that data, most of us affiliates don't and have to pretty much guess the game.

Use Jotform or Survey Monkey.

What I would do, is on THOSE flat days is put an exitpop survey on your page.

Obviously be creative with how you fucking ask it.

You know..don't sort of be too blunt about like "Why didn't you buy mofo"..

I generally don't like stuff like in your face surveys, so I'll have to find another way. But yeah. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll definitely find a way.

BTW I made my 3 sales today, lol... so only 4 days of no sales this time! woo hoo!

This... Say you get your check on the 15th and deposit it on the 15th/16th and it takes 3 days to clear. You are at the exact date where people start buying again.

Now, many folks have direct deposit, but that still takes 24-48 hours and if your on a weekend it takes longer.

Also, to rule out fraud/shaving/CC processor down etc, just place a dummy sale on the 15th-20th.

This may or may not be an anomaly, but either way it's certainly not something you should be spending time on.

Why would the payroll clear quickly on the 30th/31st but take 3 days to clear on the 15th? It just doesn't make sense. Besides, payroll hits your account on the day it's meant to be there, at midnight. It never, ever, takes 3 days to clear.

dude statistically it's extremely improbable that it's just coincidence. I average 2.2 sales a day for every other day. And on the 15th it just stops. FOUR MONTHS in a row.

Whats your standard deviation and sample size ?
I suspect you simply don't have enough data to be able to analyse.
 
I guess not much else to add without knowing the site and seeing more (longer timespan) statistics.

Just wanted to post a status update on this, nearly exactly a year from when I originally started this legendarily dumb thread.

I sold the website in question for something close to $100,000.

So keep in mind guys! This is Internet Marketing, even retards can make some money.

Dayum bro.

Only if IMing was really that easy and fruitful.

I wonder if amount of hours spent to earn a dollar in IMing is more then a regular day job.

Did the pattern continue?

I'm with you - I would have acted on the perceived drop off. Maybe we get rattled easy.
 
Yes, the pattern absolutely continued. The sales slow down a lot on the 15th and don't pick back up for a few days. Very very strong statistical support for this - even at the time when I started this thread I think the statistical evidence was there.

My stupidity was assuming something technical had to be going wrong for there to be ZERO sales. But it turns out those are just slow days of the month, and when you don't have a lot of sales to begin with it's easy for them to drop to zero.
 
Did you check last 12 month sales history?

Could confirm the decrease in sales related to 15-20th...
Perhaps you got just 1 sale a day on previous months, for this days range...

Anyway, nice move!
Enough with worries, better grab the cash and get involved with other projects.

My best wishes to you
