Hey Warriors. After 1 month and 15 days of work and dedication. I made my very first sale on my accessory website. I never thought I could do it, with this very small step forward, I felt like I have accomplished the world. It is such an amazing feeling.

Due to the fact that i thought this day would be much further from now, Im not quite sure of the steps that I should take to ensure I follow all tax laws and such. Im currently setting up my Paypal with all information and tax info. Also, should I charge sales tax to my products and keep that separate to pay taxes at the end of the year? Thanks!

UPDATE: Just 3 days later and I've now made my second sale. This is awesome!
UPDATE 7/27/14: Another 6 Days have passed and I have now completed my 3rd order! Im on a roll!

      You gotta get a Pinterest business account man! I had a pin that really took off and generated over 200+ repins. This has been bringing me solid traffic everyday for the passed 2 weeks. Only about 5-10 visitors a day but its high quality traffic that converts! My most popular pin was actual my first item sold!

      No doubt! This makes me want to work even harder! The crazy thing is, is that i began to neglect the site because of life and other work. But BAM! I decided to just check in and I had the first sale 3 hours ago !

        Ah, this sounds familiar. I had some stuff I had been working on lying dormant for months, and when I saw I had some reviews and also sales, I was motivated to put an effort into it again. Let's keep going.

    Congratulations. Even when you have made hundreds of sales, being able to see it coming in and coming in months or even years from now, it'll still be an exciting feeling, especially when you know how much work you put in. Continue doing what you're doing.

    The key is to be consistent, to document what you did that got the sale, and to continue working on it so you earn maximum profits.

    I love to hear abt success stories JCE. Congrats man. I still remember my first sale( my book). I was so excited. But after few days my happiness turned into sadness when the reader said that this book has lots of grammar mistakes and she wants her money back. I felt like a lost warrior. But I started working on my book again and fixed the errors and sold 50 copies. I am happy now because I know that you can really earn online. I want you to remember, No matter how many times you felt like you have lost, Start again even if its overwhleming. Break the task into small steps and dont get frustated. Keep it bro. Really happy for you from the heart.

      Very much appreciated man, from this point on I will never be looking back. I will never tell myself again that making money online is near impossible, because I see now that it is not. Continue what you're doing as we'll, we're gonna make it man. I wish you the best of luck.

    Congratulations !!!

    It is really an amazing feelings to see the first sale, I could remember when I did it in 2010 and how happy I was that day. It seemed to me like "I did it". Though the amount was not very significant, but the happiness knew no bounds.

    Congrats,
    I know that feeling well, your first sale is always the most motivating especially after you try for a long time to make money online.
    A key factor is consistency, you need to keep doing and tweaking especially if you get real positive reviews from you buyers it helps to convince new prospects who get to your site to see you offers.
    It makes you believe "I can really do this"

    Congrats for making your first sales !!!

    I have made my first sales after struggling for 3 months. However, persistent is what keep me striving forward. I was a bit skeptical when i first doing online business, but the first sales that i made has clear my doubt, strengthen my belief about the possible revenue that it can generate.

    Keep on your good work !!!

    I remember when I made my first sale on eBay, I was super excited the whole weekend, even though I spent most of it away from my computer.
