Extremely Happy! (and I have to tell someone)

It's not about luck, things happen for a reason, you made it happen. Congrats on your first sale, I'd be happy too

Congrats Sean!

Think positive, they won't refund...in fact, it's the first of many sales you'll get.

Momentum is on your side now.

Scale up!

Congrats....

I have several Amazon sites, one that does really really well as it ranks #1 in Google, but for a product that only averages $12.

We were all newbies once. But it was one of the first that I built.

I am working on a coffee blog (one of my passions) that I am a little more hopeful for. I don't really do much in the way of Amazon these days. But working on a site is great as a stress reliever for me.

Those expensive items are great, aren't they? If you can sell a combination of low and high-priced items, that's the best. Even a $2.99 Kindle book counts toward bumping up the commission rate on the higher-priced products.

If you're scared buy a dog. Don't worry about it, they will not spend that much money just to refund. You will drive yourself crazy for the next 30 days worrying about refunds lol

That commission is in the books, time to build on that and move toward your next commission

I agree it has nothing to do about luck. I am sure you worked really hard and now you surely deserve to be happy and tell everybody about it. I would be, too! :-)

He didn't earn $1800. That is just the price of the product sold, but well done to the OP.

I visited the affiliate control-panel with a big fat "0" as my conversion-rate in mind. I did a triple-take and said "nuh uh!" a handful of times...once sweet, sweet reality slapped me in the face, I let out a pretty vocal "WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"

The Warrior Forum is such a great-community, once you know where to look and who to trust, the information available for the $10 price is just insane. I think I'll venture into the War Room eventually!

Thank you all for the wonderful comments! I hope my current, minor-success motivates at least one of you to push hard and get that traffic so you too can make your first or next sell.

Thanks

Who ever you are and wherever you reside, do not give up. Always be creating new, high quality content and the traffic will start to flow (slowly at first)... you'll get your first sell eventually!

Congratulations!

When you get that buzz from making your first sale, it does make you more determined to succeed and so you keep working at it until the sales come rolling in.

If you havn't already done so, pick out some products on amazon related to your niche and write some reviews about them on your blog/site.

People love to read reviews and it will help you to make the extra sales

Great advice as this is what I currently do! Find decent, moderately expensive products (and a combination of cheaper products) from Amazon in my niche, write a nice 400-500 word review, maybe include a video review from Youtube and blam! it works!

Great job on your first sale. Now take that experience and repeat it over and over again. One sale could be luck as you say, but the experience you gained making that one sale can be put into making more sales. And repeat sales is a business.

Congrats. I created a similar thread after I had my first taste of success with Amazon - http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...ml#post6823421 It was such an incredible, motivating feeling.

For the first time I really felt that earning a full time income from the internet was possible. You must be feeling the same way now. I even wrote: "Anyway, just thought I would share and let people know that giving up is the absolute worst thing you can do."

Fast forward 8 months and days where I pull in $300 are becoming rather common. Now you know what you're doing works, continue to scale up.
