I made my first sale!!

67 replies
As a newbie. I finally made my first clickbank commision = $20.98. It may not seem much compared to some of the other warriors on here, but I did it!

I just put up my blog a couple of days ago too and I feel great!
It was my first monitzed blog ever!!

I tried to write an article (my 1st) and sent it to ezinearticles but i didn't meet there standards i guess.. so its back to the drawing board with that one.

again I would like some input please on what should i do better and how to promote my blog and generate free traffic. :confused:

Something like a set and forget while i work on others as well.
(To make money of course)

I read the rules so i can't put the link up but its pretty easy

{imagine how to make money with no money (dot) blogspot (dot) c o m}


thanks in advance

      Kudos to you on your first sale. There is some great advice in the posts above. I too think you should kep working with that blog and build those sales up. That is something you want to do with click bank anyhow. Besides - if a method works - keep using it.

      Congrats again!

    Congrats on making that first sale. Just keep at it. Eventually you will get to a point where traffic will be coming in on a regular basis. Keep trying to write articles. Submit to other directories such as ideamarketers, articlealley and goarticles. Do some video marketing and make sure you are building a list.

          Lol I can relate to this. My first earnings was 12 cents from adsense. I couldn't stop jumping around. I even had to call a few people up and tell them the good news.

    thanks in advance
    CONGRATULATIONS.

    You must always remember this day, and the amount. To make some income so quickly is a great achievement, well done.

    If I've got it right you made a sale with Google Sniper? Good product, I promote it too, but low key.

    Hey - Get Out Of My Niche!
    One of my sites is for people with little or no cash. There isn't room for a successful marketer like you.

    My very first income was 55c with AdSense, and even that made me happy. I suddenly felt driven again. Made a bit more since then, but I'll never forget my 55cents.

    I'm surprised that you've successfully used affiliate links in a Blogspot blog. I thought they didn't like it?

    As far as Ezine goes, just keep revamping your article until they accept it. They don't like links in the top half of the article, and have various other stipulations.

    My first articles were rejected 6 times before I eventually cracked it. Try again, as it could be a very useful tool in traffic generation, and spreading your reputation.

    Very nice, clean site, and well written.

    Cheers
    Alan

    Hey Great job - you did what many people cant. You made money online - and how? because you did the work necessary. I admire that

    The number one way to market anything whether it is an affiliate program, MLM, or product/ blog is through ONE ON ONE - social marketing

    Use skype, facebook chat, yahoo, or even AIM - anything you can do to talk to someone in real time - build a relationship and show them some value in talking with you (typically some way you can help them or give them a solution to a problem) then at that point you tell them about what you are doing to make money.

    Simple! do it and then do it again and then do it again and then do it again and then do it again...don't stop and you will make a lot of money!

    this message is for Alan Ashwood lol
    nice comment

    i had to change up the wording a bit there was a comment made that my page was passive and now strong call to action

    so i did just that, the reason why i did it that way is because a lot of people don't want you selling to them. to them it seems like how we go another sales man trying to lure me in
    so i did it in a way that others weren't and when they decided to click my link at the bottom. i had the link do all the selling for me i just hit them at the emotion side of things

    ever since i had changed up my wiriting thought i never got a sale yet but hey its the waiting game i guess but i dont have time for that i wanna make money NOW!!! lol

    and you calling me a successful marketer thanks that comment made me feel good

    as for ezine i'll keep trying

    and thanks again for the comment about my blog "Very nice, clean site, and well written."

    thanks again much success to you

    can you share any other traffic tips

    Congratulations on your first sale and I am sure that it will not be the last. Just continue on what you have been doing to earn. Don't say it's not that much, since you are just starting in the IM world, as a matter of fact; your first sale is higher than the first sale of other people. Be proud of it and may you continue to improve in your sales and hopefully, you will be earning more from what you are earning now.

    Hello illblue. Congrats on your first sale! As long as you keep going there will be more! As far as how to promote your blog, that could take a while to answer. Here are two quick free ways- put links to your blog on Facebook and Twitter. Also, if you do a Google search, or go to Youtube and search...for "how to promote my blog" you will get LOTS of cool ideas!
