Actually, I have to say this: 1 sale per day at $30 per sale would mean about $1000 for a single site (or about 12k per year). That would not be a bad return on a simple to middling blog.

Now, assuming that 1 in 50 people click to a sponsor, and 1 in 250 signup (you have a targetted product, so conversions are a bit better) then you are looking at needing... (READY?)

12,500 visitors per day to your blog.

Now, if you can up the clickouts to sponsors to 10% (1 in 10) that number drops to 2500 visitors... improve conversion to 1 in 200, you need 2000.

So, the question should be: How do I get 2500 real live visitors to my blog that are interested in what I am blogging about.

Sales will come naturally from that process, I think.
