Your First Sale - Share yours!

My first bit of cash was from a CPA e-mail submit offer using Facebook for the traffic. As with your's it wasn't profit, in fact the campaign never made any money in the end, but it still felt amazing to make that first $1.60. :p

Well, congrats on your first sale. I'm pretty sure you're that happy as I remembered my first sale for my own product which is a $147 per copy and it was 2005. Although I have several sales, my sales on my product is really the one I really like. Since then, I start to plan and in 2006, I made myself full-time internet marketer.

My first sale came from Amazon Associate program and it was my first $17 for referring a customer who bought a saxophone it was 9 months after I started my online business and I was really happy with it!

I remember my first diet sale a few years ago - I was so proud

$29 commission from a purchase of software via banner ad. It was a $29 that changed my life!

Getting to make the first dollar online is a pain for most and that's where the first dollar earned gets exciting. It definitely needs a lot of perseverance and commitment to action to reach success. People who start out in Internet Marketing fall in to tricks like magic push button software and waste their time only to get zero results. They are the ones who are not willing to put their efforts and expect results which is why they go after some crappy push button softwares.

Actually, a magic push button to riches never exists. Intentional & Laser Focussed ACTIoN is the only magic push button I can think of.

Okay, and coming to my success story, I had built my first Amazon site reviewing Camcorders and that is a failure. Then I started building review sites for product launches where I had my success and made my first money online and thats a great feeling to see my Clicksure account showing 2 sales of a little more than $90! I should also mention I had my first sale done only purely because of my rational ACTION starting from choosing the right product, setting up the site, doing SEO and getting it done finally!

My learning that I can share to the group is that "Please warriors take ACTION. Don't keep on looking for the next shiny object or buy WSO after WSO and just stay! All the products you buy may be good. But that will not give you results without ACTION. So, ACTION ACTION ACTION... that is the only magic push button to riches!

Created my own information product without any knowledge that there was such a thing called Internet Marketing. Joined a forum and sold it there for $7 a piece. Will never forget how that felt..

Do you guys still remember that awesome feeling? Getting sales now is quite different but still fun!

Hello. My name is Lovenus. I am from Singapore.

My first two sales came together when I was an affliate for a value investing event that was held in Malaysia, netting me US$50 from the sales of two tickets.

I made my first sale on clickbank, it was about 3 years ago and I haven't looked back since. After a lot of trial and error I nailed it!



Here are the 3 steps I took to get that first sale



1. Forum marketing:

There are thousands of forums online. All you have to do is go to Google.com and type in the subject of your market and forum. For example, if you are promoting golf products then type in golf + forum in the search box.

Now, make sure that the forum allows you to have a signature. What you will do is edit your signature and place a link to your affiliate product in the signature. Now, when you make posts your affiliate link will be in your signature and interested people will click it.



Of course you have to be an active part of the forum community.


2. I recommend products with almost every blog post:

People read my blog posts and they find a link to the product. Probably if they like the post they will want to learn more about it, so they will maybe click the link and maybe buy the product.


3. I make connections with publishers/writers:

I email book writers with this subject: "Partnership proposal about your xxxx book". I tell them that I will feature their book in the next article. When the post gets published, they promote it, which not only generates traffic for me, it gives me commission from the sale.

Haha, I remember my first sale was few months ago for a Clickbank product. My first $29 as internet marketer

My first sale was from promoting an Internet Marketing product through Clickbank. I promoted it thorough YouTube.

My first sale actually came from an offline client that needed help with online marketing. I charged them $600 but even that was undervaluing the service they received but at that point in time I just wanted to make my first sale and finally say, "yay! I'm actually in business!"--such a great feeling!

My first sale was for $1,500 (gross) $750 (net). This was back in August 2006. I used Adwords back then. This was from marketing a top tier direct selling company that still deals in financial education products.

That is a great post.

Ahhh I always feel little embarrassment whenever I tell about my first sale. I started my career by becoming the Affiliate Marketer at an Adult network that is AFF. There I made the first sale of 14$. I always feel ashamed, so I rarely share this with someone :-(

nice share

The first time I generate income online was way back in 2002. Ebay was still kind of in its infancy. My dad had a boat he wanted to sell. I told him I will sell it for you. I took tons of pictures and wrote a description that would see a ketchup bottle to a woman wearing white gloves. To make a long story short I ended up selling the boat for him for $4700.00 which was pure profit for him at the time. I made a nice little $500.00 profit. Ever since then I have been chasing the dream.

My first sale was a fiver gig roughly 3 months ago. Since then iv'e been determined to make a full time living online, even if it kills me.

My very first sale was a .info domain for 60 dollars. I was super excited and when I sold my second one for 40 dollars, I was over the moon. I haven't been successful with domain selling after that but it was a great learning experience. I'll never forget it.

my first sale was in about 2006 ish, and it's for a website client and it was like $500 for that project.

my first sale was vip hosting at SFI

My first sale was this year, I sold a laptop throught my affiliate marketing IT website. The feeling, wow, priceless!

Hello,

my first fastest sale is in fivesquids (hxxp://fivesquids.co.uk/users/brother). I registered and ta da, one hours then, I got my first client!

Go Actions!

My first sales was back in 2010. my website is 6 months old and I was lossing hope then 1 day I made my 50dollar sale.

My first noticeable sale (I'd had a little amazon affiliate/ adsense money) was for a clickbank product for a little over a hundred dollars. I was pretty happy but I also realised I hadn't really put a system in place for reproducing that sale, and had more or less lucked into it. But it was good from the perspective that it gave be verifable proof that people will pay for information products.
