OMG! I just made my first sale as an affiliate!!!! Oh, this is wonderful! I can't believe it! It hasn't even been a month since I built the website and I made a sale!!! This is terrific! Thank you to everyone who gave me suggestions on my website and for all of the other great ideas I found here! Don't think I could have done it without you guys. I made less than $30... but I actually made money!!!!!

      Yes it was from clickbank. I am promoting a few very similar products on my website. I'm not shoving them down people's throats or anything, and someone made a purchase! This is great! I was thrilled when I checked and saw it today!

          Awesome. I'm gonna make a Clickbank product soon, most likely. Good to know there's one more proven seller out there who might be selling it for me.

    Congrats on the first sale however, that lets you know that money making online is real. Now you need 5 sales before clickbank pays you out so keep working. Also I wouldn't get too happy, just make it seem like nothing happened. This makes you work much faster.

    Congratulations! Is it your own product (versus an affiliate product)? If so, even better since I assume you'll actually get the money fairly quickly! (I've made my first couple of sales - but as a Clickbank affiliate, I'm still trying to meet their minimum payment requirements - argh!)
