How I made my first 2 sales in one week... My welcome post to the forum...

12 replies
Hello Warriors,

I have been lurking here for awhile and recently starting to take action with the help of another Warrior's coaching...

With his help I was able to make my first two sales in a week and it was really a super simple approach and anyone can do it...

Okay - So what did I do?

Well for beginners I was told to setup a squeeze page...

I had no clue what that was so I had my coach do it for me and show me how (of course this cost me a little more :p)...

Now - I went and got an autoresponder account and my coach showed me how to setup a simple funnel with a special offer after joining my list...

Okay - stay with me...

Now - I have a squeeze page, an autoresponder, and a funnel...

So where do I get the traffic?

Well, my coach suggested I go and talk to list owners and see if I could do some work for them in exchange for a solo ad to their list...

So I did just that and struck a deal to write a few articles in exchange for a few clicks...

I also set up some deals to put banners on my download pages in exchange for a clicks to my squeeze page...

So - now I had traffic and I was able to make two sales so far in my first week and it's awesome...

Now I am getting a few subscribers each day and can go and find more list owners and repeat the process...

Hope this helps other warriors as this forum has already provided so much value to me...

    Great job! You managed to make more progress in one week than many people do in a lifetime. This could be inspirational to many people just starting out. You made a plan and you took action. It seems simple but some people never make it that far.

    Best of luck to you!

      Congratulations on your first sale. I'm working on my first sale too. And I have a question. Are you writing articles for their list? I mean, are you writing an article that they send to their list. Or are you doing some article writing on whatever they need in exchange for your ad to be posted for their list to see?

      Well - I think they put them on their blog...

      But you can offer them any service or skill you have to help them out in exchange for a solo ad...

      This could be graphics (I wish I could do these), articles, forum moderation or maybe even be there VA for a certain period of time...

      It was very delightful and kinda surprising as the first sale came after only three days and the second one a few days later...

      Very motivating... now to go get many more

    Initiative! that's the key and you found it. Great job.

    I have many students who just find it so hard to take that first step without the gentle push out of the nest.

    Again well done!

    Thanks for sharing your recipe for sales. I'd never thought of bartering services for clicks. That's a great idea!
