I don't know if this is the proper place to post this, but I just made my first commission sale of $13.00. This is very motivating, since I only started about a month ago doing IM. I know it isn't much, but it's a start!

    Congratulations! Exciting, isn't it? It took me a lot longer than 1 month to make my first sale. :p

      Jase I don't know how you are doing it but just "keep on keeping on". That $13 should motivate you because now you know that it's possible. Best of luck.

        Thanks Jerry. Yeah, it is a great motivator even if the cash isn't a whole lot. I know that it can be done (I'm a see it for myself kind of guy). Now, I just need to keep plugging away at it and work harder to scale it up 10x.

    Yes, it's very exciting. It feels like all that I have learned on the WF is starting to payoff. I still have A LOT to learn still, but that will come along in the process of still working at it. But it feels great right now!

    Congratulations!! Let that first sale motivate you and push harder to make things work even more so that you can then post a forum thread in the near future and instead of it being "Yay! My first sale", it'll be "Yay! My first $1,000" and that will inspire you further, and repeat! Best of success... and congrats again!!

    Well done! Trust me you will always remember your first sale.
    I can still clearly remember logging onto my computer one morning back in 2006, and seeing I had made my first sale which was $27!

    Best feeling ever!

        Hey Jase

        Massive congratulations!

        In this case size (of the commission cheque) really doesn't matter - the fact is what you are doing is working. Keep doing it. My first was just a few dollars but I can defo relate to the feeling.

        All the best to you mate.

          Very well done! I remember the first time I earned any money online and it was a click with adsense actually. Only about 2 dollars but I was so happy that I got some results.

          I even remember the first time I logged into my Amazon affiliate account and saw that someone purchased something. It was a book by Carl Jung lol, and had nothing to do with my niche.

          You got your first sale in a month and that is way better than I did so congratulations on that achievement. Just use the technique that worked for you and keep expanding. You will eventually get to where you want to be.

    Congratulations!

    90% of the people who want to MMO never make a single dime, and yet you've made it to the top 10% after just 1 month. If you don't know it already, this is a great achievement.

    Keep going and I am sure you'll be the 1% who make it big one day.

    Cheers!

    Thanks everyone! Yes, it's very motivating to see all the positive feedback. Curtis 2011 I can't describe my business model as I'm in a pretty competitive niche, but I will tell you that 100% of everything I learned came from the WF. I spent hours just researching/dissecting everything on here. (I didn't spend a penny either, all free) I took notes and organized them. Then I made a plan to setup my site and gave myself some tasks to achieve each and everyday. Now I'm executing that plan.

    P.S. I'm a firm believer in educating myself to the fullest to understand the business inside and out. It maybe slower then "buying" some tools online to speed up the process, but you have a much better grasp of what you're doing by doing it yourself in my opinion. I'm still learning though, as I don't know a LOT of the stuff yet. But I figure as I make those mistakes, I'll learn from them and correct them. Better to take action and get started, than keep researching and do nothing.

    I remember my first sale 7 years ago. I had been made redundant and I was using my credit card to finance a PPC campaign. I developed the campaign and had a positive ROI from day one to the present day. I now have 3 houses and work only a few hours a day.

    So keep the momentum going and it will pay off.
