I've been getting sick of boring repetitive things like backlink building, but this was the motivation I needed to keep going!

Inspirational story TTran, congrats on your first sale!! Trust me, it only gets better from there

Giving up gives you no chance at attaining your target. Persistence is a beatiful thing.

great stuff stay at it

Well done. Try focusing on scaling your promoting up and making more and more sales

Wow! You landed a big one!

Awesome job sticking with it. Now that you know it works it will become a lot easier

Great job. Congratulations. Now get back to school : )

Congratulations TTran - the 1st money made online is always the best feeling and gives you the beilief and motivation to move forward with your IM business.

Congrats TTRAN! I too have just begun the long road towards success. I try to do at least 1-2 things a day towards this business. I know that after time, my work will all be put together.

Keep trucking and when you fail, try to fail better next time!

Cheers,
Mike

Haha, thanks for the encouragement everyone. I really see a future with this stuff.

Sadly I'm really busy with school right now. I wish I discovered this world earlier in the summer.

Congrats! Always great to see fellow newbies succeeding. I made my first 5 sales this month......gonna be lots more next month!

Keep doing what works, good luck!

I'll keep you guys updated for my accomplishments this month of October. =)

I'm so glad I've found the world of Internet Marketing. It has really changed my perspective on life. Watching my parents suffering in the corporate world. They are doing pretty well in the corporate world, but they're always in high stress from the 9-5 job.

I've always known there had to be a way to avoid the 30+ years of a 9-5 job until retirement. Now I think I've found it.

Okay back to doing homework =)

How wonderful for you. It gives a
whole new meaning to making money
in your sleep doesn't it...

Good for you!

Congrats on your $44, just keep plugging and all will pay off.

Great job!

Don't neglect your school work though!

Hey great work, an inspiration. Keep focused and move forward!

Great job! Keep up the good work and affiliate marketing does work.

Cheers,
Vincent

congratulations, when I receive my first sale, I still skeptic to get money from internet, but after I receive my first check, I starting to learn many things more seriously. Keep on fire and don't lose hope!

Congratulations!!

Awesome feeling isn't it?

As you can see Affiliate Marketing does work. So keep doing what you're doing as far as rolling out your article writing so you can distribute them throughout the internet so more and more people can find out about your promotion.

Here's a very useful tip if you want to really begin to make MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF CASH:

Sign up and promote at least 10 to 15 different affiliate programs or more. However make sure that each of them represent an in demand niche.

Also write articles if you have the time for each of those products. If you don't have time, hire someone as I have done, to do the article writing. This way if you are consistantly promoting let's say 20 affiliate programs and you're making around $100 per month on each of them, that will be an extra $2,000 a month in affiliate income possibly month after month for the rest of your life.

Again, good job my friend.

Well Done!

SO nice to hear that Ttran, it inspired me to go on with my online selling business. I wish I will be like you hmmm I will do my best..Congrats! keep up the good work...

Well done, this is just the start for you. Keep testing out new things and you will be able to post about your 1000th sale shortly. :p

Best Success!

Congratulations TTran! Now just go out there and duplicate what works.

Congratulations on your first sale, and thanks for sharing your story. Very motivating... just goes to show persitence pays off!

Well done but remember to keep that site promotion focused - maybe even make a mind map to keep you on the targets you set. If you can make $44 you can make $440. As many others have said, it's all about scaling up.

As for doing school work alongside affiliate marketing - just look to Desmond Ong for inspiration!

Three things made you a success
1. Keyword research
2. Persistance
3. Taking action

Congrats

Good for you. My husband and I have been working since Feb and have not made any money yet. I'd be so happy with $44.

wow this is excellent news my friend. Keep it up and heres to your success.

Keep it up.

It would definitely motivate others to persist and learn.

Find a patient mentor and follow his/her instructions to the T.

Thanks for sharing that exciting moment. I remember the thrill of my first sale- it took me longer than you. Don't give up or feel depressed if things are tough for a bit longer. There is a breakthrough point.

Congratulations TTran!! See, you have done what many others forget to do. If at first you don't succeed, try, try again!!

The first sale is indeed a great feeling. Congratulations. One thing you could do if you are not doing this already is try building an opt in list this is working great for me now that I have learn how valuable an opt in list is.

Happy Sunday and much success

Sincerely

Lylette

I remember making my first sale in internet. The feeling was great. However, it was short lasting as I incur more cost from adsense. I quit right away. I still didn't receive my check to this day. Does it took 60 days from clickbank to send the check?

I also started to learn about affiliate marketing very recently.. but its very draggy at the moment ! after hearing your story, I'm feeling more confidence and to learn more..

Thanks for sharing your experience mate...

Thanks for all of the positive encouragement guys. I'm happy I've been able to inspire some of you.

Just to let you guys know, I've gotten my 2nd sale of $30 for one of my blogger sites last week. I haven't been working on any sites at all because of my incredible schoolwork. However, it just goes to show that this stuff really works.

Although I've been using purely free methods such as using a site on blogger, if I were to buy a domain and hosting for a site, only one sale would have paid for all of my initial fees.

I have 3 blogger sites so far. I chose to use blogger because they were my first attempts at affiliate marketing. I failed many times and learned from them. I am now confident enough in my abilities and will be going for hosting and domain on my next website

For now, I'll just be building links and article marketing for my last blogger site until it achieves the rankings I want.

Let's just hope learning how to setup your own website isn't MUCH harder than blogger.

Good luck guys, don't give up.

Congratulations, hope this is the first of many sales for you.

Hi,
Good luck sounds like easy money. Keep up the good work i too am now looking at all the information on adwords, ebooks, etc. Hopefully i too will be able to share some good news with you all soon.

I appreciate someone hearing they made a sale. Keep up the good work. Contact me so when can provide help solve each others problems.

Congrats on your first sale. there is nothing better.
You are well on your way.

Great job! Keep us posted!

Jonathan

Congratulations.

I rember my first affilate cheque .. the first money I made online.

I have that cheque framed and hanging on my wall above my desk.

I find it always a great motivator on bad days (which everybody has) as I just look at at it and remember that I made that cheque when I new practically nothing!!!

Keep it up

Great Job, keep rinsing and repeating !

Got my 3rd sale today which leaves me with a $101 balance in clickbank, I'm so pumped!

One thing I'd like to say is that don't be too down if you don't have tons of traffic. The only thing that matters is that the traffic is targeted.

So don't waste anytime with any free traffic schemes as untargeted traffic is useless traffic.

Thanks for all of the support guys, I'll definitely keep you guys updated if you're interested. =)

Although it can get boring at times, you have to take into consideration that most people spend atleast 2 hours a day getting ready and traveling to and from work plus lunch and all the rest. If we just focus in and really work for 2 hours you can make more than any J O B - still in your pajamas.

Well done. I remember my first congrats email/

Remember that the only time success comes before work is in the dictionary.

Hey everyone, I've made 2 more sales in the last couple days with no promotion. Been really busy with my junior year.

But I think the total of 5 sales means I'll be receiving a check from clickbank soon! =) Can't wait to make more sites and start outsourcing.

And thank you for all of the encouraging replies everyone, I'll keep you guys up to date if you still want to follow my progress.

I am slowly building up my sites, and things are going pretty well. I want to join the War Room soon so I can get more tips on how to supercharge my niche sites.

Hey great work I remember when I made my first $274 on a CPA offer.

Rob

Yes the first sale feeling are great and will motivate us to do more. Congratulation to you

Congrat on making it! Its good to see people changing their financial lives for the better.

Congratulations!
Just wanted to say that the fact that you didn´t give up after the 1st, 2nd, and even 3rd attempt is a sign of someone able to succeed.

Success is a process and determination is a key ingredient.
Keep up the good work and keep learning and applying what you´ve learned and I´m sure you´ll make alot more.

Congratulations! Just keep working your system and stay persistant. Be sure you do something everyday until you reach your income goals. Once you reach your goals be sure to create new goals. Again, congratulations!

That first sales always the hardest.

TTran,
Good job and congratulations on your first sale. Your story is an inspiration to me. It is hard not to get discouraged sometimes as I am new to affiliate marketing myself and cannot wait for my first sale.

Well done !!! quitters never win, winner never quits !!!

Michael T.

Let me know how promoting affiliate products works out for you!

good job, just stay focused and work hard

never give up -

... - of course, if you are serious
I gave up too many times in my life just on the halfway to success - and what I got out of it? Just a lot of wasted opportunities!
- Well,
I learned my lesson. I just understood I was very stupid to give up on the halfway and not to believe in myself.
Don't waste your time

Congratulations mate! You just stepped into the stairs of riches! Scaling it is a very good move. But remember to think wisely this time. Don't go for some PTC sites again. They are a total waste of time. Again, Congratulations !!!

Congrats, way to go!!!
Really inspiring!

Great job and thanks for sharing. i remember when I made my first sale, I couldn't actually believe that someone somewhere had found my site and listened to what I said and trusted me enough to buy the product I recommended. That was and still is a great feeling

Congratulations! Must have felt good!

Good job - keep working ! ;o)

Excellent work on the first sale, keep up the fantastic work and may all your online dreams come true!

Excellent post and encouragement, thanks much, SVH

It is really inspirational story, I really impressed with it.

Well done TTran - I've just made my first sale too - very exciting. New here to the forum also so it's a week of firsts for me

Congratulations! I remember the first software product sale I had made back in 2002. I came back from the cinema after watching Star Wars Episode II, and there it was! I had proven my business model. Little did I know that my sales would keep on coming into my email inbox 8 years later.

I know the feeling and it is great. I made my first sale last December.
Never quit!
Congratulations!

What a great story!!

Thanks for that story. I remember my first sale and it is a great feeling. Keep doing what your doing and I am sure you will succeed!

stories like this are keeping me stick with affiliate marketing even though i haven't make any money yet.

congratulations my friend!

I recently made my first $1 online, and while it's nowhere near as great as your success, it does feel really, really good.

Keep up the good work, and many successes to you!

When I started out I failed for the first 6 months. It was awful! When I finally found a "winner" I was the happiest man alive.

The hardest part was to keep going, keep testing new things, keep trying the unknown, never stop!

Congrats...the good thing is that you did SOMETHING.

TTran --

Congratulations! I am so proud of you!

have you thought about outsourcing some of the backlinking work to odesk?

Reinvest your earnings to make your money work for you!

all the best to you-

$44 in one day just for 2 articles?! not bad at all I have sold several products on clickbank, but it has it's own rules, you cant get money till somebody buys from you using 5 different credit cards.

Great story! That is definitely motivating!

Congratulations!I can understand your excitement, not seeing results can be pretty frustrating and demotivating some times.

well done... great posting..

thanks

Well done T Tran

Inspired me too

Zoe
Create a great day - everyday!

Congrats on your first success!

I just wanted to share what happened with me and my first Clickbank sale real quick, because I actually think it's hilarious.

I set up multiple mini sites, blogs, and wrote many articles that all had affiliate links in them, and I think I was promoting about 5-10 different products at that time.

Probably would've been better to focus on only 1 or 2 with my limited knowledge back then but just didn't know any better at this point.

Well after seeing absolutely nothing happen for almost 2 months, I decided to give up on that and start looking for the "next big thing". I'm sure everyone here knows about that nasty habit that can sometimes be tough to break.

But yeah one random day out of the blue I decided to log in to my Clickbank account just to see if anything had happened - and I noticed I had made 3 sales after "giving up" on it (never took anything down though).

Surprised the heck out of me to say the least, and it's funny, but I actually didn't have any idea what product made the sales right away. Had to look that stuff up, and that took a while too since I wasn't familiar with the Clickbank interface at that time.

But that just goes to show you that giving up is never the smart thing to do, no matter how bad something gets, or how little of a result you're currently seeing. Just analyze the situation and see if there's anything you could possibly do to improve it.

If not, leave it alone for a while and give it some time. You just might get a surprise like I did.

Once again congrats on your success, and I hope you find much more in the future!

Great work! I know what you mean because I just went in to Paypal to sign up for the War Room and lo and behold I had money in my account! I am going to go find out where that came from and do it again!

Great work keep it, you'll only fail if you give up

Hi,

Congrats and well done. I just made my first adsense $2 and it felt good. Am now working on getting my first sale.

Your experience with this could really give you the motivation you need as well as giving others something to look at and see that their hopes are not lost. Thanks for the good post!

Congrats! You will get paid for your works. Keep it up! Make money online is not as easy as many people are thinking of. Only hard working people will success.

Great Post!

I have to agree that your first sale online is LIFE CHANGING! Once you see the power and simplicity for yourself, you will never be the same again and you WILL have that focus to continue until you truly become successful.

The best action that anyone first getting into IM could take is to absolutely focus on making sales.

There is nothing more important than making sales, especially early on. I am not talking from a business perspective and the fact that you have to make sales to stay viable as a business.

I strictly mean that if you can make that first sale early online, you will take that feeling and power with you. This is what will propel you to IM success!

Happy for you!

Reach your 1000th sale yet? Sales sometimes grow expoentially so hopefully you arent too far off!

Sweet stuff though...isnt im great!

Congratulations.

We must never give up. Earning money through internet could happen gradually or slowly. We never can tell but as long as we did our very best, in due time, it will probably happen. Just be patient and do not ever get discouraged.

There you go guys...another Newbie making money online - CONGS!
Just rinse and repeat and am sure you will see thousands in the next few months. Set goals and please learn to OUTSOURCE if you want to move to the next level.

Cheers,
Dennis

Well done TTran,hope its the first of many!!!

It's an amazing feeling isn't it?

Congratulations, and all the best!

Well done buddy, like people have already stated, the first sale is always the best & most rewarding because it gives you the belief that it WILL work if you keep plugging away. Congrats again

Its good to see you have such attitude in such young age (correct me if you are not that young). The good thing is you didn't quit. I bet 99% may have left internet marketing if they have gone through the things you have.

Congrats - Good Luck !

Hey congrates, it all starts with one!

Good!

Now, go and get there 200 articles.

Can you count?

awesome job man. what's the site?

Omg the word "young"

Me too im 15 now and started on the whole IM thing for 9 months now... but earned no sht yet... any ideas?

Congrats! How did You get traffic, if You didn`t promote Your website, only from SEO?

In it to win it!
Congrats on your success! Keep up the good work!
Another example of "Don't Give Up: Not even the sky is necessarily the limit!"
Here's to your continued success!

Wow grats on your first sale! And thanks for sharing it here. It truly is inspiring to see other people post about their first sale and talk about what they went through before making their first sale. Not to mention almost giving up when the first sale came in! I can just imagine how you felt when you read your email informing you of your first sale! Wishing you all the best on future sales!

Keep at it! The start is often tough - so you have to tough it out!

Congratulations! You are doing quite well after a relatively short amount of time.

congrat buddy
share your experience when you already success okey

Good work! Keep up the good work. I know how it feels to get your first sale. Repeat what has worked for you.

Way to go...I'm happy and I'm proud of you. All it takes is that first sale and then reality sets in letting you know that this is real. All you have to do is put in the work, be patient, and you will prosper. Keep in touch. Here is something to think about...what if you would have put up more than those two articles? What if you would have done a little more promotion? A video, more articles, blog commenting, so many ways to market your site.

Now that you had a taste of success, it's time to buckle and ramp things up. Don't stop now, press on and press hard. See you at the top!!! (smile)

Congrats... and now you know it works... here's some inspiration

Good job!

The snowball has been been created. Now, start pushing it...
