I Broke The 1000 Sales Mark Today!

54 replies
Before I even begin, this post is not meant to gloat or anything like that. The Warrior Forum has been my home since the day after Internet Marketing was introduced to me and you are the only group that I really would want to share this with

As of about 15 minutes ago, I now have 1,001 sales on the first product that I ever created and sold.

When I first made the product, I actually told myself that I would be happy to sell 50 units, but it kind of took on a life of it's own

I have always been able to do well with the affiliate sales part of it, but was scared to death to actually sell something with my own name on it and even scarier to sell it to a number of my piers here on the Warrior Forum as well as other places online.

Going outside of my comfort zone proved to be extremely profitable and a way for me to meet a ton of people that I now consider friends. I believe that going out of your comfort zone is an important aspect in almost every facet of marketing. There are a ton of people out there that could be doubling and tripling their income if they would go out of their zone and do things like videos, pod casts, live shows...etc These are all things that I have forced myself to do that I now actually look forward to doing.

I guess for anyone, this just goes to show that there really is no way of telling where your Internet Marketing journey is going to take you if you hammer away at it consistently

    Congrats Jeremy! That's no small feat. I celebrated my 1000th as well when it happened - you've got to celebrate those milestones.

    It says a lot about the product and your commitment to your business that you reached that many sales.

    Best regards,
    Ken

    Great job!

    I also remember my first 1000 sales of a product I created way back, it was a real feeling of achievement.

    But what was an even bigger feeling of acheivement was that first sale, and then 10 sales, then 20 etc. etc.

    Small steps, acheivable goals, a workable plan and the commitment to actually follow it through are all that's needed to get to that 1000th sale.

    Tim

    congrats man, I am happy for you, I have been a silent fan of you and so many others on this forum and I am happy for you. The warrior forum has been a wonderful place for me as a newbie.

    I have not made anything ( not even 100 dollars) for the past nine months but the warrior forum has been such an encouragement. I am sure I WOULD have given up if I were not to be a member of this great forum.

    Congratulations Jeremy,

    I'm still walking down that road myself and have a long way to go before 1000.

    I know I'll get there and look forward to posting my own milestone to be a spur to those warriors who need it.

    Cheers,

      Congratulations Jeremy.

      I remember the feeling well.

      And to those still working on their first product...

      ...when you're involved in product development that's taking time, one of the hardest things to deal with is staying motivated, not knowing how much of it you'll sell.

      If you have a good product with a hungry market that you know you can reach, you will make sales. You can never know how many you will sell, but you will make sales. So put that question out of your mind, think of this thread and keep pushing on.

      Cheers,

      Neil

        Jeremy, you know it's funny. Between all my products since I've been
        doing product creation, I've probably sold about 4,000 units just on launches
        alone. I don't really track units anymore. I just do my accounting at the end
        of each month so that I can pay Uncle Sam his blood money.

        I'd love to feel the excitement you are feeling right now. I miss it. I had it
        with my first product when I did 200 units my first month, and that was
        about 3 years ago, I hit 1,000 units by my 5th month and that was with
        just 1 affiliate. Amazing when you think of it.

        Anyway, I am really happy for you.

        Maybe when I have my first major launch, I can get some of that juice
        going as well.

      Thank you everyone for your comments

      Just to answer a couple of questions...

      The sales were made over probably a 4 month period on a product that I sold anywhere from $22 - $47 and were marketed a number of different places and different ways.

      As far as how am I going to celebrate? I'm going to try to keep the momentum going and sell 1000 of my next product

      Kind of weird to think that initially, I had my expectations set to only make a couple extra hundred a month lol

      The truth is, anyone can do it big literally, as long as they have a process that works.

      Also, don't make the same mistake I did and set your expectations too low - shoot for the stars!

      I am a firm believer that anyone can do it

      There has been a lot of posts and talk lately about it all being about mindset and process and I am a true believer in that.

      I've already set my goals for next year and have no doubts at all that I will meet and exceed them.

        All the top experts preach mindset, because it works, and its true.

        Dan Kennedy's version of Psycho Cybernetics is a great start for anyone new to mindset and self improvement (its good even if you're not new).

        Dan Kennedy has been making money in this industry (direct response marketing) before the internet ever became mainstream...

        As the saying goes... "Success Breeds Success" - Keep the momentum going my friend!
