QUESTION (no reply for 2 months): Develop Your Strategy for Attracting Visitors

Hi. I’d like to ask someone to please respond to my post. A part of the course instruction wasn’t clear to me, and I’ve been waiting 2 months for any acknowledgement or a reply..

In Develop Your Strategy for Attracting Visitors course, a 6% increase in site traffic, month over month, was offered as a good target. I’d like to know how to apply this percentage increase to my own situation.

How does HubSpot calculate how many new visitors are needed monthly to reach a projected monthly target when starting from zero visitors?

Ex:

  • My target monthly visitor number is 3,000.
  • I’m starting from zero (new site).
  • How many monthly visitors do I need to reach 3,000/mo by Month 12?

(I don’t want to divide 3,000 by 12 because it sets unrealistic expectations for Month 1. And it doesn’t show the 6% increase in visitors across all 12 months.)

It was suggested to post the question here instead of the Community boards. Could someone help figure this out, please?
