    Thats awesome! I made my first sale overnight while I slept. woke up to $20 in my account. I was sold from that point on!
    Then I just kept doing the same thing on a larger scale and soon everything just took off! Keep it up. do it again and again and soon you'll be rollin in dough!

    And that one sale is all it takes to keep you going when you are ready to give up.

    There WILL be more to come!! Just stay it like you did for the first one!

    PM me if you want some resellable eBooks, that is how I got my start!
    Thank you man..I was planning to offer the report as a lead capture ebook but I changed my mind when I made a sale..Thanks for your motivation

    Congrats, good job. Hopefully you're tracking and you know how that sale came about. It's about scaling what works and cutting what doesn't!

    So the sale was by luck or what? It should inspire you anyways

      Yes I think it was by luck.I rarely got the time to promote the product as I'm busy with my studies here.

    Congrats, it's been a while but I don't think it's a feeling that you ever really forget. Now you've just got to take what you did and scale up and you'll be making money before you know it!

          First, my congratulation!

          Next, after the first sale, there will be more pouring in. But what you must do is knowing what you did is RIGHT. So, the next step will be REPLICATE the success!

          Focus what you did to bring in the FIRST sale and repeat the process. If you have other niches, do the same for those.

          Remember once you know what you DID is correct, REPEAT the process. Don't re-invent the wheel. Do exactly the same thing that brought the first sale.

          Success will be with you all the way!!!

            I got no idea what I did to make my first sale.That's what I'm trying to detect right now.
            Guess my articles have contributed much here but I got less than 10 articles out there.
            And I think that my useful posts at other forums have helped me.

            Anyway thanks for your support

              I always write down what I do and when there is a sale, I know what I did is correct.

              It is time that you start keeping track of what you are doing. Once you recall or hit another sale, remember the right thing you did and repeat it. Success comes with testing and repeating the process after that.

    It's a great feeling. Take that feeling and finish those great ideas and projects that you have been putting off.

    I can remember a simple Squidoo Lens I made about a new product review at the time...I did not give it much love but then one day commissions for 4 orders came in. And it was for a monthly service! Still coming in.
    WOW!! Thanks for the tips..I heard that "Squidoo Lens" is pretty powerful in generating traffic.

    The first sale is always awesome. I got my first a few years ago using dropshipping...made a cool 3 cents on eBay!

    My second sale was slightly better...unfortunately I wasn't really paying that much attention to my site and the product had been miscontinued so I had to refund that sale :-s gutted.

  • Well done......
    It's interesting to see what happens when you persist and try different things.
    Simply ask your customers:
    - how they found out about your product, and
    - why did they buy it
    The answers will lead to many more sales.

    Congrats on that sale. I will always remember that feeling of seeing my first sale. Let me also suggest that you start thinking about what else you can create. Create an audio of the same material, print it out and bind it iwth comb binding. Now you have an upsell.

    Keep pushing and Good work...many people just talk about wanting to sell on the internet, but you are actually a real internet marketer who has made a real sale..

    Congratulations! You have done something most people talk about and never do - actually sell something online.

    And if you can sell something to one person, you can sell it to 10. And if you can sell to 10, then you can sell to 100...and then a thousand...

    Don't give up. Use your experience and your knowledge to press on.

    Come back and share with us more success stories, ok?

    Again, rock on!!

    Well done on your sale. It's always encouraging to hear that someone didn't give up and is starting to make the sales. Like someone said, let's hope this the first of many.

    Again, congrats.

    Ok, now for some tough love.

    Went to your sales page "5 Triggers". I think you can improve it and get more sales:
    • Content is ok, but the look and feel screams cheesy.
    • I recommend that you clean up the look using a more updated salespage template
    • Get rid of the fonts using dark blue against light blue background
    • Your bullet lists don't line up with the bullets
    • Misspelling "gonna" as used "what I'm gona reveal to you". Would not recommend slang in body of salesletter except for a very specific reason. In the context of your salesletter, you are talking to doctors and dentists....use of slang definitely not appropriate.
    • Your value tactic of saying you should charge $399 to $499... for a 21 page ebook is empty. Build value instead by pointing out how much time the buyer of your product will save them by getting your report...
    • What, no bonuses? Bonuses are expected. Get some PLR gathering dust off your hard drive, rewrite and repackage it, and offer it as a bonus. Sell the bonus and give away the product....What about making a mp3 audio of the report and offering it as a bonus?
    • An ebook cover in your salesletter would lend authenticity to this being a real product.

    You do have some great testimonials. Can you get some pics of the people giving you testimonials? That would be even more powerful.

    I have a suggestion: Redo your salesletter with some of the suggestions above, and then give it away to build your list. Promote an eCourse built around your 5 Triggers. In your autoresponder, use the 5 triggers to deliver an ecourse to your list.

    Then as you build a relationship with the people on your list, you will be able to market and sell to them much more than $4.95 reports.

    Good luck and keep pressing on!

    -Mike D.
