Just make sure you wrote down what you done so you can repeat what you just did, this will help you replicate it and remember what you did

Congratulations, zosowolfpacker!

Great advice, butters - to write down the steps you take and replicate what works. Written down it becomes a system you can tweek when necessary to make the system a better one.

Thanks

Thanks guys for the advice. I will do just that and take notes to see what works and what doesn't. This may have been pure luck but it's a start.

A sale means nothing until the threshold is reached and the check has cleared the bank. Not trying to temper your excitement but whatever you did to make that first one you'll need to keep doing.

Thanks all. I do plan on continuing to focus on improvement and managing the Campaign very carefully. Even if another sale or 2 comes through and the costs continually outweigh the proceeds, I will surely put on the brakes and analyze the situation.
Best part is, I have come to enjoy researching other people's products and learning how to build a website. To me that was the fun part of the whole thing.

Sorry guys, I am so excited. I know it's only 1 sale and the net loss so far is only like $10, maybe things will pickup after a few changes, if necessary and more PPC advertising!
But this is my very first stab at this whole thing and glad to see it can work if you put the effort into it!!

Congratulations for that quick success!! Can you please tell us how did you do it? PPC? Day 2 from what?

Hi John,

Yes, it was PPC on Google Adwords. I got a 2nd sale on Day 2 also. I made what I think was an initial mistake of NOT turning off the content network. After I did that, the # of useless clicks (throwing away money) came down hard. I am going to keep the content network off until I see better sales.

I just built a website with a landing page and did all of the Privacy Policy, Site Map, Contact Us stuff that Google wants you to do in order to get a good quality score. But as many of the keywords on the pages as I could with links.

Thing is the 2 sales have only come from 1 keyword, broken out into the 3 types. I haven't even mustered multiple keywords yet.

It took me eons with my normal day job to get this first site up and running because of all of the time I needed to spend reading these forums and researching how to do all of this.

I am still in the hole in profit but only by just a little bit. Maybe that's not bad from only 1 keyword. I am going to do this same thing with other keywords and see what happens.
I will let you know how things go.

Congratulations, keep a careful eye on those costs though. If the product converts well start looking at ways to get free traffic to your pages as well. You can get quick results with articles and videos for a start.

Hi Dot,

I am watching the costs like a hawk. If I don't get anymore sales in the next few days, I will put the Campaign on halt and figure out how to tweak it.

Yes, I am trying to figure out how to get free traffic to the website. The only thing I've done so far is "Ping" the major search engines everytime I update the blog.

If any of you guys have any better idea on how to get free traffic to the site, please let me know.

Thank you!

Thanks

Jason.......That is what I'm afraid of. It could be these 2 sales are pure LUCK!! Wouldn't surprise me but I guess we will see!

Rozaidi..........Do you really want me to share this experience?

I will always be able to say, that my very first PPC sales came from selling a product to treat HEMORRHOIDS!!!!

I figured why not give it a good on a product that you know people are researching due to something so uncomfortable and embarrassing.
