Thanking the Forum - First Sale

8 replies
Been lurking on the forum since January. Got inspired and started writing content for a site. Registered a domain name in Feb. Finished my eBook in early March. Got the site up in late March. Started SEO and writing more content since. Had my first eBook sale yesterday with 227 unique visitors.

So far spent $288 on the site and SEO and am ranked on the 2nd page for my primary keyword and 4 others. Took about 110 hours of night and weekend work.

Now focusing on getting to the first page and then A/B testing to up the conversion rate once I get enough traffic.

Learned a lot. Next site will probably take me around $200 and 50 hours of time. Wouldn't have started without the motivation provided by the forum.

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone that contributed a post that helped me along the way.

    You've got the hard part done. And you've got the right focus: Traffic and conversions.

    A very good start.

        I think I will follow your advice next site. Before I tried outsourcing, I wanted to do everything myself to understand the actual issues and how long things should take. I was also wanted to get the site up ASAP while still motivated and was afraid I would waste a lot of time weeding through potential outsource contractors before finding a number I could trust. If you have any recommendations, I am all ears. Thanks again.

  • Congrats. Even though 'it's just the beginning' though, you are well ahead of 95% of wanna be IMers.

    Keep on trucking.
