First sale!

INTERNET MARKETING

Howdy folks! I just want to say THANK YOU! IM has been especially unkind to me. Some of you may know that feeling.. when you log into your clickbank account and see $0.00.. I saw that so many times... it's not even funny!

Many times I've thought about quitting. Many a time I have doubted myself and questioned my decision to pursue Internet Marketing as a career. In fact I abandoned the particular site in question as I felt that I'd done it all wrong. And now, I got a sale! Wow, you can't describe how this feels in any sales letter... it's one thing to promise thousands but that first $1 is something.

Ladies and gentlemen, many a time I even wondered if this was all a pipe dream. However, lady luck reckons I've suffered enough and I'VE MADE MY FIRST SALE!!! Yay!

So I'd like to thank everyone in the WF for their constant support, advice and patience. I've started quite a few annoying threads asking for obvious stuff (sorry!) but I now understand one thing. If you want something bad enough, you'll get it.

SIDENOTE: since I figured luck was on my side, I've JUST popped into amazon associates as I have a fragrance blog that has amazon links in it... and guess what??? I'VE MADE MY FIRST SALES THERE TOO. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!

sorry guys im over the moon!!! YES YES YES YES!!!

To all you newbies who have yet to taste success.. DO SOMETHING. Make a website, stick some affiliate links, do some SEO, do your keyword research. Just something to get you started. Without something for someone to buy, you can't really make money..

And if you are considering IM after reading my post.. it's a lot to learn. I've known about IM and half heartedly dabbled in it for about 2 years. I've seriously done it for about 5 months now. I realize that it's not for everyone and if luck isn't on your side, it can be especially hard on you. For most of us, this journey begins with heartbreak, self doubt, frustration and confusion! But please stick with it.. that first sale is really worth it!!

Feels great doesn't it? I remember my first sale too - £3,29 & it felt better than making £200

Hope there are many more to come for you

  Thats great! I remember my first sale a few years ago. Looking at that clickbank screen and seeing something other than a load of $0.00's was amazing. It was the day i realized that i actually COULD make money online and since then i have had numerous checks well into the $100's!
  
  My friends were convinced that you couldn't make money online and it was just something you could do from scams and such, how jealous they are of me now!
  
  Thanks

When you take action, you get results.

Awesome. Well done.

I am sure many people reading this thread know the...

Day 1: $0.00
Day 2: $0.00
Day 3: $0.00

... scenario well.

When you see the first $10.28, $21.86, $66.50 sales, at first you think a mistake has been made.

Then you realise... this IM stuff actually works after all.

Cool ;-)

Congratulate yourself. Pat yourself on the back.

Then get back to work ( I say that in the nicest way I can ).

Dean

Keep at it!

The commission you earned from your first sale could get eaten up by fees if it takes a long time for you to make another sale, so make sure that you keep making sales as often as possible.

Nice work. I remember my first sale fondly. Whoever bought that ugly Mitsubishi keyring via an ad on my piece written about pizza dough I thank you!
There's plenty of other great firsts awaiting - 1st $10 day, reaching the next commission threshold for the first time, 1st $100 month, 1st million dollar year...
