Very nice Alan, the first dollar always feels the best and inspires you and motivates you to keep going. I think it's the first dollar that is the hardest, and after that it is much easier flowing because of the motivation it gives you. Keep on chugging along!

Thank you all very much! The support on this forum is amazing! My first dollar was actually a 9 dollar sale, and I am up to about $30 dollars since I posted this. Now we will rinse and repeat. I am still very shaky in IM, but I hope all of the new folks, as I am, and all of the seasoned vets who are struggling, will see this and hopefully give them the incentive to keep plugging away. My goal? I want to be able to live on a beach somewhere sipping a mai tai while building my online empire. Small goal eh?

  Hey, I still remember that day... And though I have been on the internet for 14 years this month, the first sale in every niche was the sweetest.
  
  But, let me tell you, until I build a list in my niches and started to communicate with my "crowd" I had to work very hard for my sales... I could have made more money in a day job.
  
  The best thing I have ever learned is
  Build a list BEFORE you do anything else.
  
  Congratulations, Alan.

Hey Alan, congrats mate.. did you know 80% of fuel on a rocket ship is used just to get the thing off the ground ? ... IM is very similar, you've taken off by making your first sale, you're in orbit and now you've just got to keep doing what your doing as many times over as poss.

First product I sold was an $380 product about building a business on a budget.... Funny thing was, (and I've learned since) that the back end of the affiliate system that I drove this guy through, made me a total of $1,200 in the first month.... basically put, my first buyer was a rabid buyer and liked spending money... Dream cunstomer :-)

Here's the thing Alan, I made 100 times more than you in the first month, but, I stopped after that first month, lost severe momentum and didn't really pick it back up.. I don't know why.

I'm back on the wagon now, have been for a while and we share the same kind of dream.

As Armand Morin says "You won't get rich from one website, find what works and do it as many times as possible"

Keep doing what your doing mate, it's working
