My internet marketing days begin!

Ok, so I thought I should share my first sales experience with all you guys and gals here on the warrior forum.

So I heard about this so called "effortless web cash formula" and thought it was too good to be true. Their system is so ingenious I thought i'd give it a try.

I'm only a 19 year old high-school graduate and I have very little knowledge about network marketing, and this was an awesome place for me to start.

After my first sale I feel like i tasted blood! LOL! I feel addicted now to all this, I'm just constantly reading up on sites now about more and more products and which ones to buy, new techniques and all that good stuff.

My current goal now, is to build the "mighty list" everyone has, a list of buyers. Hopefully my internet marketing goes well in the coming days/weeks/months/years!

    Good luck. My advice would be to focus on one thing at a time and not spread yourself too thin.

      Thanks Dan! I always hear that everywhere and a person like me is so impatient too so that doesn't help much, lol! But I'm trying my best to stick to one thing at a time

        If it helps, try to remember that by NOT sticking to one thing at a time, you might be leaving a lot of money on the table.

        Consider this: Every new avenue, product, technique or approach carries with it a learning curve.

        If you're running away from projects just as soon as you're having some success, then you're likely jumping ship just after you've put in most of the hard work.

        Ethan, congratulations on your first sale! It helps to be patient when starting up your internet marketing, as impatience can lead to distraction and trying to do too many things at once, which is never a good thing. Focus on one system or method at a time, and set small, measurable goals along the way to keep you on track and also motivated!

    Welcome dude, I agree with Daniel Harper, you need to focus on one thing. Do not too much to try new thing, stick with one thing till you are succeed.

        I learned the power of focus the hard way.

        I release my ebook around 5 years ago Is networking rely a kissing frogs game about business networking.

        At the time I sold it for £47 an expensive ebook and sold between 4 and 8 every month a great success. I also had a good offline business earning me around £10K per month so as you can imagine the im thing was just a hobby.

        Now IM is all I have .. If I'd maintained my focus I'd be a rich man today so sometimes we have to learn to do it right by doing it wrong. Just work hard on building, maintaining relationships and your internet business will florish...

        Have a great day enthanc :-)

        Welcome, and congratulations on getting your first sale! You'd do well to stick to one method until you get good at it; there are so many distractions and temptations in IM, and it's incredibly easy to end up getting pulled in many different directions. Much easier said than done, but don't say that you haven't been forewarned.

    Good luck...

    But tell me one thing. Why the heck are you promoting a 'make money' product in your signature while you just stated you made your first sale?

    And the product YOU are promoting is the one you posted about - claiming that it helped you made your first sale...?

    Covert advertising anyone?

      Maybe!

      I had hoped to get some information about this product at WF but not here!
      Not yet anyway.

      Does anyone have any useful information about this product?

    I went to the website, clicked on the "download now" button and gotten into an endless loop: that button leads to the same website that had the "download now" button in the first place!

    The only thing that can be accomplished is to PAY $37 for this "FREE" system/ebook/whatever that was supposed to get you all these several HUNDRED dollar payments to your paypal account - in "less than 24 hours" in the first place!

    This after the website promised that you'd be getting these payments by giving away a free ebook!

    That seems like a scam loop to me!

    So I come to the WF hoping to find the real deal, and all I find is a thread started by a person promoting this "free ebook" idea/system - which will cost you $37!

    I'd expect as much from an internet marketer trying to push a "free ebook" but here at WF I'd expect much more in the way of substance.

    Silly me, I guess - thinking for even one tenth of a nano-second that you can actually make money by giving away a free ebook, as the website specifically stated!

    COngrats on the sale, the key thing is focus (which many people have been saying). Building lists and targeted traffic takes time. It compounds over time and you'll be building a saleable asset.

    Going for the quick buck is not sustainable - don't try and exploit loops holes, trick google etc. Your business and income streams can disappear over night.

    All the best and keep at it, it's well worth it
