    Id like to hit $100 this month. Id also like to try and increase traffic to my 2 niche websites as well to try and make some money via adsense and clickbank. Too many things to do and not enough time in the day! lol

      Yep, congrats!

      Still working on my $30 or hopefully $50 month, should know in a week or so!

      But l design graphics for a large site, and have learned from a couple of large failures recently, (tried to hard l guess).

      The exciting thing is if l do get to this level, (above) then l know that l am going to be rich, beucase l can scale this business as far as l want, just like you!


      That is the exciting part, knowing that you have cracked the online puzzle, and am on your way to the top!

        Its a nice feeling isnt it. Ive realized that alot of the easy ways to make money are just right infront of my face and I'm wasting too much of my time trying to do other things that will barely bring me in any cash until I can afford to invest some money into them. Also I learned the joy of fiverr outsourcing!

        And your in Melbourne just like me! even cooler haha

          Well l am not there yet, only had one small success that brings in a couple of bucks per month, but has motivated me to lick my wounds and try again!

          But l like to daydream about it! :rolleyes:


          Yep Fiverr outsourcing is interesting, but l will probably have to hire someone full time, to get this business really going!


          Melbourne, huh, our first 30 degree day for summer, the weather is nuts this time of year!!! :p

            Youll get there, Another thing that inspired me a bit was seeing traffic to blogs and how for the first 1-10 months traffic is on a very very very very slow increase, And then it all just seems to click if you are doing all the right things and traffic increases!.

            And yeah it is nice, except im stuck inside at work haha.

    Bit of advice from one newbie to other newbies is don't get sucked in! I set myself a budget when I first started im of $150 to spend on EVERYTHING and thats it. Its not alot of money but I dont have alot either if you read my other thread about starting IM'ing. I blew $138 of that buying a website off flippa because I was new and was like omg this will be amazing it will make me $100's a month..... wrong its made me about $0.40c. If i had just spend even 1/4 of that money on advertising to one of my niche sites I made for free I would have made so much more money from it. But I guess thats how IM is. Learn from your mistakes!! But hopefully you have the chance to learn from others first

    Congratulations My Friend, Well Done

    Now, like a few of the other members said, be sure to just replicate that success and repeat what ever it was you just done to try to get some more similar results, because it's the result of lots of little successes, that make a big success

    Well done and keep up the good work

    The Hostgator affiliate program was my first success too!

    I just went to a local business meetup one morning and said I'd build a free website for anyone who needed one. They signed up under my affiliate link, I installed a simple wordpress site, presto! Made $100 in a day.

    I still remember the day when someone had clicked the link in my video and bought the product as well as upsell, total $180.
    First sale is really nice..

    Nobody is likely to laugh at you in here; this is what the forum is all about, and you just gave hope to a lot of desperate people, so good on you for sharing!

    You know, there's a video of John Reese talking to Tony Robbins and I think he said his first small success was more exciting to him than when he broke the million dollar DAY barrier. It is all about breakthroughs and moving forward. For most people, the hardest thing to do is change their own mindset. You are wise to share; it marks an important milestone. Keep breaking those personal barriers!

    Congratulations

    The first sale you make is always the best. This is when you start to see that everything you have been learning and implementing is finally paying off.

    Keep up the great work and continue doing more of what is working for you, and less of what is not.

    Scale...find a way to multiply those results!!

    If my memory serves me correct (I'm Polish so unlikely)...HG pays out $125 per lead once you hit a certain threshold.

    Try and get 20 signups per month!

    Nothing to laugh here. It was a great success and motivation for you which will lead towards more hard work and more success. Not only first dollar, but first penny is also very exciting.

    Really proud of you, my friend. Now you know something that works, so keep scaling and become REALLY good at what you just did to make money. So many marketers try to be the masters of everything when they first start because they are overwhelmed with so much information. You found something that works. STICK WITH IT. There is a lot of success available for all of us if we just stay consistent! Great job once again.
