My first sale... Finally

58 replies
Hi all fellow warriors...

Tonight I logged into my CB account like so many evenings before, but tonight I couldn't believe my own eyes.

One of the blue lines were actually a bit longer than the rest and had numbers... OMG. A sale. $43

This was all I needed. After three months of struggling...

Just wanted to share my happiness and use the opportunity to thank everyone for their willingness to help on WF.

I've used article marketing with a top level domain redirect to the affiliate page, in case anyone would like to know

        Having the first sale is always thrilling.

        Since you have put in so much effort and getting the first sale is just the beginning. Now you have to focus on what you have done right and replicate it again.

        Yes, stay FOCUS and start replicating the same success for other niches or products. Most people fail to see that and stop there. What you need to do is know what you have done right and begin your journey of success. Repeat the same process and generate more sales again and again.

        Good luck to your future sales!

    congrats, first sale is always the hardest earned, and always the most satisfying. take what you've learned and keep going with it. slowly set yourself higher goals for sales per month, up it to sales per week, and soonyou'll be bumping your sales per day goals before you know it!

    Hi Matt...

    A top level redirect is when http://mydomain.com is redirecting ti my affiliate page.

    http://mydomain.com/affiliate is not a toplevel domain.

    Ezinearticles doesn't allow sub-domain to redirect, but they do allow top level to do so.

    Hope that helps...

    Congrats hjalte81! I agree with TomG. Once you make that first sale, you definitely know you can do it. Keep the traffic coming and more sells will follow. The more targetted the traffic the better.

      Nice job!
      Maybe your next sale is just days away.
      Maybe you'll get nothing for a month, then 4 sales the following week.
      Don't over-analyze what to tweek, but never stop testing or considering changes.

    Congratz!

    Keep it up and make more.

    That was quite high for a beginner. You're lucky! When I had my first it was a bit lower but it definitely had a kick!

    Good luck! More sales..that goes to all of us.

    hj,
    Congratulations on your first income from internet marketing! Now you know how to do it. Keep a list of the steps you took for the website that brought the income. Go build a few more similar to it and replicate your promotional methods. Keep building links for all your sites. Keep promoting until you see more income.

    Then go pick a second type of income stream and learn it. Don't want to have all your income eggs in one basket!

    Thanks for sharing your success here!

    Stick in there, its a slow uphill struggle to begin with and seeing your first sale really gives you some extra energy that you will most likely be in need of!
