Made my first money ever online. I'm so happy!

24 replies
I passed out 30 flyers across from college today and after a few hours, I checked my peerfly status and I made 1 conversion which is $2.25. Even though it's not a lot, I'm still happy.

Any way I can increase the conversion rate? I'm very motivated right now

    Hey congrats on your 1st money online. Any amount is considered a success, no matter how big or small the money is. It shows you that it can be done. Next is to scale it up. All the best to you

    nice job, seems like a lot of work though. Think a little bigger. Maybe you could get a lot of other desperate college kids to join you and what ever they sell you make a commission off it. I've never really though about offline CPA but it's sure possible. You could also hold college contests/competitions where the students are funneled into a way where they need to fill out a CPA offer to participate. This means you could get like a giant QR code on a large poster with your affiliate link to the offer, since most kids have smart phones they could just point themselves straight to your offer, once they fill in the information they would be allowed to participate in the contest. Obviously use a target CPA offer that college kids would enjoy.

    Just some ideas, plenty more that I'm sure you could think of. Also check with Peerfly before you do anything that involves something like I described because it could be considered a incentive.

    I thoroughly enjoyed my first sale, a set of wind chimes to a lady in New Jersey back in 2002. Hadn't even set up the drop ship account with the vendor yet! Much simpler life on line back in those days. But any first sale is a GREAT sale!

    Congrats!

    Heh! Congrats with your start If you using simple flyers design, go to fiverr and order a new one for $5. They are making nice designs, that should increase conversions.

    Or just scale it up quantity of flyers and you'll make definately more money!

    Good luck!

    Congrats! Once you start, there's only up from here. As these guys have been saying, scale it up now. Pass out more flyers, and maybe get some friends to help you.

    I wish you success and happiness

        Thanks guys for the replies. They're encouraging

        I spent around 20 bucks for domain/hosting/privacy, 13 bucks for 500 sheets of colored paper (2000 flyers), and around 15 bucks per ink cartridge(which can print 200 pages). I don't know what you mean by ROI

          ROI is return on investment

    Well yea you can increase your conversion rate and to do that you need to make a slick landing page that should be really tempting enough for these people to click your offer and do the signup.

    Dont forget people eat with their eyes first.

      I don't have a landing page. I just do a 301 redirect to the cpa page. Is this the best way to do it?

    You started with offline marketing for a cpa offer? I remember my first clickbank sale i made...it was via adwords...man that felt awesome...Always be on the lookout for more moethods...and scale the ones that are already working ! If you think flyers work for you! you could try getting some of your friends distribute them at their place...

    Congratulations! Hopefully you'll see more roll in. Some people might set your flier on their desk and forget about it and find it a few days later and give it a try

    Good work, it's a start! What kind of offer are you using? You could try different types of flyers and different offers.. post them on bulletin boards, etc

    Great! That's how it's done. Give a lil more twist on your offline promotion and I'm sure you'll hit more. Good luck!

  • Congrats! here's what I would do to scale this up! find someone in that college then ask them out on a date ya know take them to the movies eat etc... Build a relationship when they get to like you a lot tell them hey I would sure like you to put out some flyers for me love around campus kay? Of course they would happily accept! So as long as you maintain that relationship you have your income stream! :-)

    If you want another source you can always end it like "I'm sorry it was only business"
    You would be making hundreds a daily! I should really make a wso on this it's so over looked.
