I made my first big sale :)

Challe77 · 10-14-2008, 07:56 AM

I have made my first big sale today (fingers crossed for no refunds :P)

)
I got a shock when I checked my clickbank stats, It usually reads plenty of zeros.

But now I have gotten 2 sales in one week, the first one was just a smaller one 13$ but
the last one was a big one 80$, so It felt great

I´m guessing the sale came from my squidoo lens and not my main website, but I´m not sure. Is it a good idea to embedd a tracking cookie into the link (one at my lens and the other at my homepage), can this be done afterwords?

The traffic strategies I´ve done are:
* website submissions
* social bookmarking
* rss feed submission

On the homepage I have also done a few article submissions, some links building and directory submissions.

On the lens It says I have not gotten any visitors, but I dont know if this can be true...
On the webpage I get average 20 visitors / day.

My dream of working IM full time now looks less like a fantasy

Sincerely
Karl

Only problem with Clickbank are all the refunds

Is trueblue here as a real member or just a troll - look at all his/her posts.

Challe77 · 10-14-2008, 08:33 AM

Trueblue23 - Ok, I truly admit that I also used this opportunity to also list my new site, but surely this is nothing new in this forum?

Anyway, I will post more threads If I get more sales, and the strategies I used, hopefully I can help other and get help myself this way.

Sincerely
Karl

Congratulations, first of many, I'm sure!

Someone posted the problem with CBank is all of the refunds.

I don't find refunds to be a problem, less than 3% -- so it may be more a question of the products sold, or the customer service provided by the vendor.

As an affiliate, make sure you've checked out the product and the service, it's your reputation on the line even though you are the affiliate.

Nice to see them not showing as $0.00 again. That feeling is real nice, keep it fresh in your memory.
