You've polished your sales page over and over again until it's gleaming with benefits. You're getting plenty of traffic. And still - no sales. What's wrong?
It could be recession (although that's debatable).
With thousands of people losing their jobs each week, consumer confidence (and therefore consumer spending) is down.
But on other hand, if thousands of people are losing their jobs, there is without doubt a growing army of people out there who are looking to Internet to make their living.
