Ok, so I've 2 amazon sites up... one just went up today, so I'm not really ranking... the other has been up for a few weeks, been hoping around the bottom of page 1 and top of page 2 on google.

Well, just checked there and I have a sale! Well I think I do... I'm assuming advertising fee is mine?

Anyway, $2.02!

That's 3 big bottles of beer, here in China. Anyway, it's nice to get the ball rolling... I'm focused to make amazon one of my main income streams.

Amazon and Adsense are the only parts of IM that I really really understand... after I've made a good living off these, I'll move on to list building, wso's and all that malarky..... the thing I really like about Amazon, is, if you choose the right product, that has longevity, and you make an air tight site... you can get some very nice passive income

Anyway... it's not much, $2... but it's still nice to see something has happend.. the journey to $1,000,000 starts with one conversion

    Nice man, amazon and adsense together are really powerful, espcially when you get the hang of it. You'll see much better results when you rank on #1

    Also, what else you can do is drip huge amounts of traffic from youtube... it will take you a while to create some niche related videos, but in the end it will be worth it

    I am very happy for you, there is nothing like the first sale

    Can I make a suggestion though? Personally I would still try to capture email addresses somehow. I know with my physical products site I have said things like "to get updates on (insert product name) join our mailing list".

    People will give away their email address much more easily than they will give away their money. Also, when accessories for the item you are selling are available, you can simply shoot an email to your list and automatically start making money without waiting for the traffic to hit your site.

    Not trying to be preachy, I just know that when someone finally told me that I would never grow my business unless I had a list it was the wisest piece of IM advice I had ever gotten.

    Cheers

      Thanks so much guys for the support... but even a tiny sale can put a grin on your face.

      Right now, it's such early days that, I'm happy to know that someone, who knows who, has found my site, found it useful, I hope, and made a purchace.

      I see the potential, and I know what I have to do.... but it's great to see something, albeit tiny, happen.. it shows you what's possible.

      Thanks for the positive feedback guys

    Congrads to thedog!

    The first sale is always a major breakthrough.

    Now that you've cracked your first one >>> go for your second >>> and third >>> and on and on...

    Money likes speed....as Joe Vitale says. So strike quickly and strike often.

    Don't sit on this, just go for it!

    Onward and Upward!

    absolutely. we funnel our 400+ sites to both adsense, which is complemented by amazon sales. the interesting thing to note is that there seem to be a number of niche products, high ticket items that sell well all of the time. but they do add up if you keep driving traffic to them.
