I remember making my first website a few months back and I thought it was a complete failure and dropped support for it.
I've moved over to amazon now but today I thought I would check my rusty clickbank account out of curiosity and i found this

i just started laughing and hugged myself lol
guess I just needed to vent on here

    • Congratulations I hope you continue to grow and maybe go back to that old website and build it up, it might have potential.
      • [ 1 ] Thanks
  • Awesome work!

    Yes I second that - work out how many hops you had to get the sale and go back to that site and grow it!

    Might be well worth it!

  • Sounds like somewhat of a lucky sale, but you should look at the site and how that person got to it and bought the item. Get an idea of what you did right and work from there.
  • Congrats Tarik, keep it up and do more sales
    • [ 1 ] Thanks
  • Congrats! Hope this will inspire all of us who are still looking for the first sale
    • [ 1 ] Thanks
  • Congrats! I had an almost identical experience. i put all my affiliate sites on the backburner and focussed on product creation after Google sent them into the outer reaches. When I went back after four months I found sales. it would be nice to say I now know what works, but i feel just as much in the dark as ever.
  • Well done man,
    the first sale is always what should inspire to continue.
    usually it just takes the first sale to get more..
    Gret work,

    cheers.
  • Hey everybody.. I'm new here. I'm looking to get into affiliate marketing. Any resources available for beginners?
  • This proves that jumping around between opportunities isnt exactly the best approach.

    Learn one thing at a time and stick with it. You could be relatively close to success, before you "give up" and move onto the next BSO.

    • that is soo true! had trouble in the past from jumping around so much
    • Agreed. You need to figure out how to make your current idea work before you move on.
  • Warrior forum does it again.

    But you must be commended for taking action. That is the best way to see results. Actions breed results as they say. So congrats for taking the first step. now why you are doing backflips and excited use that to take the next step, which is more action.

    Good going and keep up the good work.
  • Congrats!

    the first sale will make you more motivated..

    Good luck!
  • Congrats! And more sales to come.
  • Good work Tarik!!!!
    Hope for more sales to come in !!!!
  • congradulations. now multiply the hardwork 10 times and get increased earning. Happying IMing
  • Congratulation Tarik, I am still waiting for my first cents to come, I hope that happen soon
  • Hey buddy

    According to me, site-building is the best and safest way to earn some easy monthly passive income.

    Your half-built website is making you income, imagine your fully built website.

    That means your website has the potential to make more. If I were you, I'd build on the website.

    Anyway, congrats!


    Thanks

  • Congratulations! Keep up the good work, if it worked once it can work again. Scale up that site and add more content and target more keywords. If you keep skipping around you may end up finding that nothing is working because you don't stick to it long enough to see the results.

    But great work that must've made your day when you saw that
  • Way to Go!!!!!!!!

    I know it a GREAT feeling to have your FIRST one. ;-)

    Cheers,

    • Congrats!!!!! Now try and scale it up for more konversions.
  • I know the feeling as many of us here do. One of the affiliates (don't remember which one) starts to dedcut from your acc't when there are no sales within a certain period. Can't recall....Clickbank, C.J., Share-a-Sale, Link Share????? Isn't there controversy about Amazon ?
  • You deserve another hug, *hugs*.
  • That is so awesome! The first sale is the best!
  • It can take a couple months for a website or article to mature enough to generate sales. You can sometimes shorten this period with an aggressive link building campaign, but it's still pretty difficult. I'm not at all surprised that you got your first sale a couple months after giving up. It's happened to me too.

    You should always stick with a project for at least 9 months so you can gauge how effective it will be.
  • that's awesome.
    rinse, repeat and scale... BIG!!!!

    You're my hero man.
  • Good job, keep it up...
  • Congrats on your first one! It´s always a good feeling and motivation to keep on.
  • Awesome.

    It's an amazing feeling isn't it. You deserve the self hug.

  • Few months ago I made a blog around one clickbank product and 'till today I do not have a single sale I'm going to give up with it, but I still have hope that soon I will login to my clickbank account and see the same picture congrats, these are the things that makes us go on...

    • Hmm...trying giving advice on your niche on a forum or do some blog comments...it helps..prob is are you willing to take action?haha

      good luck~
  • Congratulations! a first sale usually sets the ball rolling soon enough more sales will be achieved... Good Luck!
  • First, great job at your first sale! That's the beauty of the internet, You do the work and you can generate sales years down the roads! So for the guys/gals who hasn't made that first sale? Do more! If you don't give up the sales will come. And you can wake up to you making money! Your goal is to have thousands of pages with your affiliate link in it! Get pushing forward! Never give up!

    • Well done Tarik, your news definitely made me smile. I can remember my first sale well, great feeling. Keep working on that site and I'm sure you will build up to many more sales
  • Hey well done,

    I certainly know how that feels with Clickbank and now you can make more sales hopefully :-)

    Keep at it
  • Awesome!

    Congratulations on your first CB sale.

    I've yet to make mine, but honestly I haven't done much promotion.

    I tried some "lazy" methods like hiring someone on Fiverr to pass out flyers in major cities with a domain redirect to a CB product sales page, but that didn't work.

    I also tried buying some traffic from Adf.ly, but that didn't produce any sales either.

    Twitter marketing? No again.

    I have to rethink my strategy for promoting products as an affiliate for sure. ;^)

    So I hope you can continue to make sales from your site for a long time to come!

    All the best,
    Demian
  • Hi Tarik, congrats on your CB sale!
    lol..i remember when i first promote clickbank products..just like you, i didn't expect can make some money..just set and leave it..
    and a few weeks later i got my first sale!
    • [1] reply
    • Congratulations, if you can do it once you certainly can do it again! Tweak, improve and repeat! Good luck.
  • I am always excited to hear anyone mention their first sale. I know there will be many more. Have you figured out the things that you did to get that sale. Were you a pusher or a helping? Duplicating what you did will make your rewards flow to you everyday.

    • wow, didn't know i was still getting replies.
      thanks, it's awesome to know that everyone is really supportive.
      thanks and I think I know what I did to make the sale, so I'm just gonna keep working harder so I can make plenty more
  • I am happy to hear this success story. All the best! Congratulation too
  • congratz on your sale.. that is a start to become success.. hope your sales increase
  • Great going! Keep it up!
  • Keep on your good work. Congratulation.

    • Just came across this ! Awesome stuff Tarik !!! Its a bloody good feeling isn't it mate. I hope this breakthrough inspires you onto bigger and better results. Because I am sure this thread has inspired lots of others to do the same. Congratulations.
  • My congrats as well. I made my first (lucky) sale six months ago but nothing since so my account is now dormant and I get a charge of $1 per month. So you have motivated me to get back in the game!
    • [1] reply
    • heeeey ya! You make it! Good start, more more sales coming in soon! Keep on!
  • Great more sales to come! Keep up your good work and do some hard work.
  • Nice! I remember having the exact sane experience nearly 2 years ago - I went out to get some beer and celebrate .

    It means so much just to get that one sale and finally have conclusive proof that just maybe things can work.
  • Have you considered setting up a Clickbank affiliate account; to receive additional assistance from those in selling your product?
  • It's a fantastic feeling to get that first sale, and the good thing is the feeling never goes away, no matter how many sales you get, congrats and here's to more
  • Awesome job Tarik, keep it up buddy. Try to figure out what made people take action such as where the traffic source came from and through what page people took action on. Use that information and apply it to other areas of your site or in the future
  • Congrats!
    I also remember the first time I made a sale on clickbank.... it was such a great feeling. Continue working on making more sales. This is such a great forum.
    Good luck!
