Perhaps I can give you some advice.

Also, do not recommend "free ebooks" where users of this forum need to sign up in your AR. It is self promotional and spammy looking on this forum.

While I congratulate you on a sale, if you are looking for a critique of your site than that is all you should request.

Thanks Jill I will Edit my post accordingly.

Hey Prime777...

Congratulations...

You're on your way - Here's my contribution... A few basic principles and ideas (in no particular order!) I have used, and continue to use, to progress in my personal and financial development. I wish you every success...

Basic# 1: Focus your efforts - Target a niche or niches.
Basic# 2: Priority 1. Identify and understand a problem within that niche.
Basic# 3: Priority 2. Find or create practical solution.
Basic# 4: Priority 3. Deliver that solution for a profit.
Basic# 5: Add value - Over deliver on your promise and build trust within your niche.
Basic# 6: Establish yourself as an authority by providing originality and quality content.
Basic# 7: Innovate - It's not only about resources, it's also about resourcefulness.
Basic# 8: Give to receive - he/she who gives wins...
Basic# 9: Post and learn in forums.
Basic#10: Integrity will carry you further than trickery.
Basic#11: Help others to succeed and you will prosper.
Basic#12: Take a new step each day... success is accumulative.
Basic#13: It's not necessary to know each step in advance - just keep moving forward
Basic#14: It's not about visitors; it's about sales and conversion.
Basic#15: Track and test everything - eliminate guesswork - with smart software.
Basic#16: Offer real proof - testimonials work.
Basic#17: When you feel like giving up- Don’t - take a break and come back tomorrow.
Basic#18: It's never crowded along the extra mile...;
Basic#19: Bond with your niche use simple copywriting psychology such as, the 3F's.
Basic#20: I understand how you Feel - I Felt the same - but Found that... (Offer the solution).
Basic#21: People buy from those they like, trust and respect - Become all three.
Basic#22: Business is about numbers, but equally about building relationships.
Basic#23: Celebrate your success! - But Learn from your failure...
Basic#24: Continuous improvement - learn what you need to know.
Basic#25: Plan daily tasks in advance - Organization is the first rule of expansion.
Basic#26: Do what you say you will do!
Basic#27: Duplicate proven systems - Don't reinvent the wheel.
Basic#28: Keep it simple, have fun and remember to enjoy the ride!

I wish I was in Saint Lucia. Ha Ha!
All the best - keep going…

[12holger34]

Thank you for sharing the basic task list - which keeps you on track daily.

[Dennis-White]

Keep doing what your doing and you will achieve more success, looks good now all you have to do is perfect what you have started, refine your skills and really crack down and make the real money!

[actionplanbiz]

congrats,

your page works really well for me.

just need a title tag.

[Mrslalas7]

You're not the only one! I made my first sale a couple of months ago. It has gotten better this past week. Congrats to you and keep up the good work. Always remember to never ever give up and that's what I didn't do. So I succeeded

[Bennette]

Prime 777,

Congratulations on your 1st sale. It is definitely a great feeling and things will start to come together for you more and more each day. You'll notice that areas that didn't make sense or were over your head will start to click and you'll say "ah ha that makes sense now."

Take that energy and ramp up your efforts and your cup will start over flowing. Focus on helping others get to where they're trying to go and you'll be rewarded with prosperity.

I just got my 1st sale last week so I did exactly what I'm suggesting to you because it took me almost 5 months, so I'm glad your sale came faster.

Rinse and repeat !

[JeffMitchell]

My first sale about 14 months ago was only $3.00 and I was about to explode.....I thought it was the coolest thing in the world...


Congrats To You...Just keep doing what you did over and over again.

What am I missing here, considering this is done quite frequently w/in the 'war room'...or is that an OK place to do it, seeing as you have to pay to get access to the War Room?


Just asking is all...

EDIT:...Forgot to say 'congrats' to the OP! Making that first sale is always an inspiring moment, as it often makes everyone realize..'Hey..I can do this!'...To your continued success!

[crystalq]

Congrats on your first sale! Your landing page needs a little layout work.

Rrrrraaa! {Insert Claws Here} LOL

[taylordstuff]

Congrats on your fist sale. Let this first sale be your motivation to produce more.

[RebeccaL]

Ignore the post about free ebooks as a way to get optin sign ups - that is a time tested strategy for building your list!

And congrats on the achievement. When I saw your website URL i got a bit worried thinking here is another newbie telling people how to make $5k a day when they haven't done it themself - so glad your website actually is honest!

[Emily Meeks]

Congratulations Keep up the good work (if you ever need new ideas, join the War Room!)

[AceHazel]

Good to hear successful stories like. Very inspiring. Keep doing great.

[Karen Connell]

Hi,

Congratulations! This is just the beginning for you.

Just a small typo - not nitpicking but near the end you have an image and on top of that it says

"Christ's Member Site"

Now, I know Chris Farrell is good - but...

Hey congratz! Now you know and actually experienced something that others are just dreaming of. However small (or large) the big sale is, it's always wonderful. It lets us experience the reality that following our dream, specially online can indeed lead us to success! However, it's not for the weaklings..

You have risk something and take action even without the assurance of making anything..Some people (like me) earned money only after a year. Now I can say I'm enjoying my life but I have to work with focus and continuously.

All the best

what's the "Chris Farrell" thing about at all?? ;-)

congratulations! :-)

Marian

[markshields]

Just checked out your websites and I would like to say congratulations, Job well done

[Stephen Clark]

Hey there, congrats on your success!

Great start on your site there, I just noticed a spelling error toward the bottom. "Advertising Resuorces" should be "Advertising Resources"

Best of luck to you! Let me know if you have any questions about anything.

Btw, there is a link in my recent blog post to a completely free site that has some of the best training on Traffic Generation that Ive ever seen. It might help jumpstart your sales.

To your success,
Stephen

[Vaan]

Hey,

You have past your first obstacle my friends..
If you can made 1 sale, YOU ALSO CAN MADE 100 SALE THEN!!!

Wish u the best,
Vaan

[MoneyPlus]

Nice looking site... Congratulations!

One thing I would change though, on the bottom of the site,
you have 5 banners... Yikes!

Too many. Just have 1 (the one that goes to your money page).
The rest are just a distraction. Just sell 1 thing and 1 thing only.

Build another website for the other stuff.
You might want to consider adding an opt-in in the future.

Keep up the good work!

[prime777]

Thanks everyone

I Was just reading the thread and all the generous compliments and encouragement that every one has extended. I am a bit new to forum culture. One month old to be exact but I am quickly learning that having a community to share your moments with is a great experience.

In a triumphant moment they boost you up further and in a discouraging moment you can come here and be encouraged and inspired just by reading others' stories and accomplishments.

Thanks again for all the advise, encouragement and compliments.

Well Done

I worked for 9 months on my site and never got anything before I shut it down.

Mind you in the last 2 months I have learnt so much about online marketing. I wish I knew it from the start.

Now I am trying some different tactics. I hope I can tell you in about three weeks my results.

[woolabee]

Congratulations!

I remember how cool the feeling is when you make your first sale.

It's like Holy #@$%! This internet marketing thing actually works!

Your on your way!

[SeanSupplee]

Biggest tip I can give would be these.
1. Take PLR products such a good ebook and rework in your links and affiliate sites. Get new graphics done to the ebooks to include your name and just dress them up a bit. This gives you a unique one of a kind product they cant find ANYWHERE else but from you.
2. Take your best product you know the one that would kill you to give it away AND GIVE IT AWAY.. FREE! While short turn this is going to cut a hole in your pocket your thinking long term here. Building your list and giving something valuable away people can really get their hands on and help them out. By doing so they are going to remember you and more then likely buy from you when you launch your next product.

Congratulations on your first sale!

It´s a great feeling. Now you go and do it a gain and again and .....
