Congratulations. It only takes one to get the ball rolling sometimes. I didn't make much in terms of my first customer many years ago but they did teach me so much and I kind of molded the software around them.

Thanks

I fondly remember my first sale! It was 5 years ago before Google Adwords got too expensive and picky. Oh, those were the good old days! I advertised a $10 Clickbank product with 50% commission and the second day I made my first $5! Man. I never felt so excited about making $5! Classic!

Thanks

My first customer is going to be worth around $200, how much was your first customer warriors.

Come on, lets all get excited.

I did it, hip hip hurray.

Big Congrats

My first sale was $40 I think and it was a great feeling.

Lock in that feeling and crush it!

Thanks

Whe you look at it this way you can say that your first customer was worth a lot more than the initial sale considering you were able to capture their emails address for future promotions. The first sale nothing more than a qualfier to see if they are a buyer ir not. Now tht you know that you really get the value of that customer in the long run. Front end shoud be not the aim its all backend fromt here with huge emphesis on a high converting front end.

I recently got my first paying customer for a new content writing business I started with a friend. The sale ended up being for $30 but was originally only set for $15. The customer said he purchases $300-700 in content per month and was going to have me do all his original content and spinning. Needless to say, I'm as excited as you are.

I had to chase probably 2 or 3 dozen leads before this sale came through. I'm happy I never gave up.

WRONG!

This first customer, if taken care of and treated well, could be worth a lot more than that. Are you just going to sell something to them once and take the money and run? Or are you going to be there for there and sell them more?

Get even more excited. I can't even tell how much my first customer is worth, because they are still my customer - and they still buy my products. That's what you want!

That's a very valid point, unfortunately I don't have a list setup (something I don't know too much about - but I'm quite intertest (if anyone can point me to a good 'list building post' that would be great)) - but if I keep adding quality content the customer should use my site as a resource, and keep return (thus keep spending) :rolleyes:

Any more advice from warriors?

thanks!

Congrats man, hopefully u will build good reputation and start generating business. My first client was for $5 dollars, but he became regular and after a while referred two more clients. I get repeat clients for my graphic design work and referrals really help a lot.
So make sure to go extra mile on your first client!

Thanks

Great for you landing your first customer!
I remember scoring my first customer when I was doing MLM online. I got a $25 sign up from them and they stayed with me for 6 months paying $25 per month. Infact they still buy some of my products now.

Make sure you are building a list and keeping track of all those customers as they could be useful for you in the future.

Thanks

WELL DONE MORGANZOLAR

Hey Morganzolar, i remember speaking to you in the early days. I told you the first sale would come, it's all onwards and upwards from here.

I busted myself for months, long days and even later nights trying to pitch that first sale. He come one night in the rain, his initial commission fee was at 30 percent of all losses.

My first customer still plays now, he's also put a brand new sony bravia in the lounge.

Work hard my friend, work hard.

Continue to move forward and pull those behind you to the front. Obviously keeping ahead of them in the process, glad you've had the reassurance of your hard work.
- Thanks

my first commission was for $37, the good thing about it was that I made that 3 days after reading my first pdf on affiliate marketing, and they just kept coming in and made close to $3,000 my very first month.
