Made my first sale

13 years ago

great job. i'm in the same boat, i have a good 6fig day job and do IM for extra money on the side (hopefully one day full time) but sometimes if you do it slowely, naturally, itll take time for the first sale but then itll keep trickling in. thats what happened to my adsense sites, they all took about a year to "mature". keep working, im sure youll do well!

Thanks

  I love these posts.. I really and truly do! (so refreshing)
  
  I can't even remember my first anymore it's been so long, but posts like this remind me of the feeling.
  
  Congrats.
  
  And for anyone listening... once you do it once, you know what to do. Start outsourcing and getting it done faster and bigger. (especially if you have a cushy salary job already)
  
  Thanks

Great job! Good to hear another success story

Although it is only one sale, it's a milestone for you.

Mind sharing how you achieved your first sale? Affiliate sale through Clickbank?

Good luck and may many more sales come your way bud

Thanks

Thanks guys.

It was through Amazon, so I didn't make a lot of money on the sale, but honestly, the money wasn't the important thing to me. Now that I know what I'm doing works, I can try to scale it up.

That is awesome! I still remember that it seemed like forever to get to my first sale. But once you figure it all out and make one sale, it seems to come a lot easier after that. Good luck!

Big Thanks to all you warriors for all the great information and help whenever I've needed it.

By the way, I'm a contractor and I work a lot of hours, so I have to build my sites slowly due to lack of time. It took me 7 months to make my first sale, but someone with time could probably do it in 3-4 months, if they really work at it.

Great job! Was wondering could you provide more details of your experience and how you did it. Was it affiliates sales, ad sense, CPA, products?

Thanks

Hey...the key to all of this is actually taking action!

And you did that...and now you've had your first sale.

Keep up the great work, figure out where the sale came from and what keywords brought you the sale...then improve on that to get your second sale!

All the best,
Jack Duncan

good job man! it always starts with the first sale and then leads to others.

Honestly, if you work a lot of hours, even though you can't put out as much work you can outsource most of it (if you are willing to spend money). Its gonna end up giving back to ya later.
